"Bad teams do that" - Draymond Green makes feelings known on Warriors not 'auctioning' young core to maximize Steph Curry's prime years
The Golden State Warrior went from being one of the top teams in the Western Conference to scrapping for a spot in the NBA Play-In Tournament. With Steph Curry and Draymond Green approaching the twilight years of their career, some might wonder if Golden State will try to maximize the years they have left in exchange for their young core.
However, Draymond told the media last Thursday, after their 107-104 win against the Detroit Pistons, that they have no intentions of trading Golden State's future for their own benefit.
"The beautiful part about being in the space that we're in is, Steve Kerr, Steph Curry and myself all disagree with mortgaging off the future of this organization, saying that we're going for it right now," Green said. "Bad teams do that. Bad organizations do that. We're not neither one.”
While this may serve as an unselfish decision by the Warriors organization, their veterans are in dire need of help. Looking at Steph Curry's scoring numbers, they're not all too bad.
However, they're slightly less efficient compared to what we're used to. Curry is scoring 22.6 points per game this season, which is 3.8 points less compared to his previous season.
Do the Warriors need to get help for Steph Curry?
Steph Curry and Draymond Green are the only players on the roster from the original Golden State Warriors dynasty established in the early 2010s. Before the new faces came along, they managed to win four championships together. However, with the team still seemingly relying on their two veterans, is it enough to lead Golden State back to glory?
Curry is no longer producing the same numbers he used to on the hardwood. While his numbers are still solid and are close to his usual averages, there's a noticeable decline in his efficiency. Nevertheless, Curry is still the best player on the team.
However, seeing how the Warriors are in 11th place in the Western Conference with a 19-19 record, it's clear that Curry needs help to take the team back to glory. While Draymond Green expressed that they have no intentions of switching their young core, they might want to consider securing another player who can complement Steph's game and provide similar numbers to boost the team.
