The obvious answers are Golden State, New Orleans, and Memphis. Maybe Phoenix. If you throw in draft picks, Minnesota appeals. Let’s use former lovers to answer this question.
Golden State reminds me of my last big ex-. You know how it goes: we broke up, didn’t see each other for a few months, then when we did we fell back into old patterns for a while, some of which were more fun than others, but it ended for good and good riddance. The Warriors figure to do the same: with Steph Curry and Klay Thompson healthy, Andrew Wiggins on a team that doesn’t need him to be what he’s not, Draymond Green, Steve Kerr and either the #2 pick in the draft or whatever bounty that yields in a trade, expect Golden State to return to its pattern of winning.
