We would need to trade draft picks to be a playoff team during Curry’s decline.
Otherwise just Keep Curry, Klay, Dray, Trayce Podz and Quinones and Santos and trade everybody else for draft picks and be bad.
It's hilarious how you want to keep Lester and Gui Santos but trade Moody. I guess you have to double down on the idiocy.
Moodyhas some trade value. I like Lester and Santos but do not think they have trade value yet but they might develop trade value.
Lester Santos Trayce and Podz would be farm products to develop and trade for draft picks when they get more trade value.
Moody has no specialty. Moody is a generic very average NBA player but he might get us a mid to late 1st round pick.
Each year we would trade first round picks for presumably higher 1st round picks in the next year’s draft until we have 4 top 10 picks in a good draft and then we would draft players that we hope to be part of our next championship core. The point is not to get stuck as a middle team too good to get lottery picks but not good enough to win a playoff series. Our Kuminga level talents need to be on one timeline not one star fading as the next star emerges. We want 4 emerging stars on rookie contracts and then the payroll would be low enough to add an impactful free agent.
Ask Curry what he wants. Curry is hard to trade because his salary is so large. We can sacrifice future to get Curry help to have a decent team until he retires. He can go out with Klay and Dray.
I don’t see us being able to win another Championship with aging Curry, Aging Klay and aging Dray. Aim for a championship 10 years from now.
