Why The Golden State Warriors Do The Deal
In some ways, these teams are in similar positions. They both have championship aspirations, and they’ve both been disappointing this year.
The difference is that the Warriors have tasted that success. They’re looking to extend a dynasty rather than start one. Moreover, they know this core can win it all – they did so just last season.
With that in mind, making a win-now move even after a weak season makes sense for the Warriors. Meanwhile, George is a perfect fit. He’s much like Wiggins, only, simply put, he’s better.
In fact, George is one of the best shot-creating 3-and-D wings in the NBA. This isn’t complicated for the Warriors. They’re a contending team acquiring a star player.
