It\u2019s not like the Golden State Warriors haven\u2019t tried at all to build a competent team around Stephen Curry in the latter stages of his special career. Though they managed to squeeze another title out of their big 3 in 2022, the Warriors were unable to hit on ready-now draft picks that would both pave the way for the end of Curry\u2019s career and for as new era once he left the arena for good.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Desperate to not entirely waste Curry\u2019s final years, the franchise made a desperate move last year that brought 35-year old Jimmy Butler into the fold that actually paid some dividends before proving to be somewhat fool\u2019s gold as this season has progressed. Things took a turn for the worst when the now 36-year old Butler, who has a long history of injuries, was lost for the rest of this year (and likely most of next) in mid January to a torn ACL, while Curry finds himself sidelined until at least after the All Star break with a runner\u2019s knee diagnosis. Barely hanging above the .500 mark, the writing appears to be on the wall for what has been a generational run for this franchise and their superstar point guard.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Looking to make a name for themselves as the next dominant team, the San Antonio Spurs meanwhile have wildly exceeded expectations in Victor Wembanyama\u2019s third season. Though the Warriors aren\u2019t playing with a full deck of cards, every night is a chance to get better for Mitch Johnson\u2019s squad. A win tonight on a road SEGABABA heading into the All Star break would put a nice stamp on the first half of the year for San Antonio. It only gets tougher from here on out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
