Extended offseason will build next Golden State Warriors’ dynasty

The extended offseason is a blessing in disguise for the Golden State Warriors as this will help them in the long run.

The time for rebuilding and player development is at an end for the Golden State Warriors as Steve Kerr’s men gear up for the resumption of their dynasty in the 2020-21 season. The extended offseason will help build the next Warriors dynasty.

Since Kevin Durant’s departure, the Dubs detractors and doubters have reveled in the hope the dynasty has reached its end. And that without Durant, Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Steve Kerr will fall into a pit of irrelevancy.

While the rest of the NBA compete in the Orlando bubble, the Dubs have been planning and plotting a return to the throne that has temporarily been vacated. Golden State has quietly planned a way to restart the dynasty and the dominos of the 2019-20 season have fallen into place perfectly.

The 2019-20 season has opportunistically given extended breaks to all of the original “big 3” Curry, Thompson and Green. Thompson missed the entirety of the season due to ACL injury, and in December it will have been 18 months since the former All-Star played in a competitive game.

While Curry played in a mere five games, largely due to a hand injury he sustained against the Suns early in the season. Green missed 22 games as the Warriors opted to take a conservative approach with the power forward’s health.

Curry, especially he will have a little more motivation if he even needed any. Ever since Durant has left Curry has been doubted and well, a little disrespected. Despite, winning a championship without Durant alongside him. The man who is the only unanimous MVP in history can again show his individual prowess as he guides the Warriors back to relevancy.

Even aside from the Splash Bros and Draymond the Warriors have an owner who is willing to spend heavily if it means he can bring another championship to the Bay. This is shown by Lacob’s willingness to spend big on luxury tax payments, despite the ongoing crisis.

To add to the money committed to the big 3, Lacob is willing to spend on the trade exception, the Dubs first round pick and is willing to spend the mid-level exception, even though it will add millions of dollars to the luxury tax.

Under Joe Lacob’s stewardship, the Dubs have become one of the best ran franchises financially in the NBA. This is supported by Golden State’s new possible deal with Goldman Sachs. ESPN insider Brian Windhorst reported that the Dubs could be in line for a $250m deal with the bank.

What that entails remains to be seen, but the Warriors get opportunities few franchises get.

On the court, the Warriors have successfully managed to reconstruct the roster after the departure of Durant in 2019. The Warriors completely overhauled the roster, opting to devote 2019-20 to developing youth. The Dubs replaced Durant, Andre Iguodala, Shaun Livingston, Andrew Bogut and DeMarcus Cousins with the likes of Eric Paschall, D’Angelo Russell, Jordan Poole, Marquese Chriss and Ky Bowman to name a few coming in.

Golden State also successfully managed to flip the departure of Durant into the previously mentioned D’Angelo Russell, and then later ex Minnesota Timberwolves small forward Andrew Wiggins, who has proven a better fit than the point guard.

A core of Curry, Thompson, Wiggins, Green, Chriss, Kevon Looney, Paschall and whoever comes in this offseason should put the Dubs firmly back in contention in the Western Conference alongside division rivals Los Angeles Clippers and Los Angeles Lakers. When all said and done the Warriors dynasty could well rival the Bulls as the best and biggest dynasty in history.
