Embiid could usher the next era of Warriors basketball in

The Golden State Warriors Big 3 is aging.

All three are now in their 30s, and in the next few seasons, their primes will start to come to an end. For Embiid, he’s just starting his prime at just 26. He’ll have about four or five more years of dominance.

Embiid and one of the first-round picks along with Jordan Poole and Eric Paschall could help usher in the next great teams in the Bay Area. Embiid helping keep Golden State relevant should also allow them to stay a hot spot for top-tier free agents.

Ushering in the next era of Warriors basketball should be important, and the team will need to figure out their next steps sooner rather than later as they’ll have a top-two pick in the coming NBA Draft and enough assets to bring in a high-level star.
