“Bad Teams Do That” – Draymond Green Expresses Feelings About Warriors Not ‘Aussing’ Young Core To Maximize Steph Curry’s Prime Years
The Golden State Warriors went from being one of the best 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 careers, some might wonder if Golden State will try to make the most of 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 intention of changing Golden State’s future for their own benefit.
“The nice part about being in the space that we’re in is that Steve Kerr, Steph Curry and I don’t agree with mortgaging the future of this organization, saying we’re moving toward it right now,” Green said. “Bad teams do that. Bad organizations do that. We’re neither.”

While this may serve as a selfless decision by the Warriors organization, their veterans are in dire need of help. Looking at Steph Curry’s shots, they’re not all that bad.
However, they are somewhat less efficient compared to what we are used to. Curry is scoring 22.6 points per game this season, which is 3.8 points less than last season.
Should the Warriors 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 arrival of new faces, they managed to win four league titles together. However, with a team still seemingly reliant on its two veterans, is that enough to bring 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 close to his usual averages, there is a noticeable drop in his efficiency. However, Curry is still the best player on the team.
However, seeing as the Warriors sit in 11th place in the Western Conference with a 19-19 record, it’s clear that Curry needs help to bring the team back to glory. While Draymond Green has expressed that they have no intention of changing their young core, they could consider securing another player who can complement Steph’s game and provide similar numbers to bolster the team.
