There’s no more fighting it. The 2019-20 NBA season is meaningless to the Golden State Warriors. At this point, the team needs to wave the white flag and focus on keeping each member of the team healthy.
There isn’t much the Warriors can gain from the rest of this season. A playoff berth is hopeless and winning additional games will only decrease the franchise’s odds of winning the 2020 NBA Draft Lottery.
Winning the lottery offers a free reset button for the Warriors. Though this NBA Draft class doesn’t appear to be stacked with game-changing talents, there is potential for the Dubs to find a future cornerstone moving into the next stage of their dynasty.
