Stephen Curry will join Klay Thompson in street clothes for around half of the regular season, and nagging injuries have prevented Draymond Green and D’Angelo Russell from shepherding the Golden State Warriors through its most difficult period in over half a decade.
What remains of the defending Western Conference champions?
A group of nine players with a combined playoff experience of under 300 minutes, a group consisting of rookies, two-way players, and cast-offs from other sides. A group where the highest-paid player is earning the vet minimum.
Needless to say, this is a far cry from the Warriors of a few months ago.
