There’s no denying that within the next 20 or so games the Golden State Warriors may already be completely out of playoff contention. However, that doesn’t mean that the team has nothing left to play for.
After being one of the oldest rosters in the league, the team, which lost traded or waived veterans like Shaun Livingston and Andre Iguodala, completely transformed their roster.
They were still planning on being competitive even with Klay Thompson out until at least March. Now, Thompson will likely sit the entire season as the loss of both Russell and Curry has caused chaos in Golden State.
