After a blazing 12-3 start to the new season, the Golden State Warriors have come crashing down to Earth in brutal fashion. The franchise continues to operate in flux, with the Warriors claiming to be prioritizing Stephen Curry’s remaining career yet refusing to part with any of their young talent. Chandler Parsons isn’t sure what Golden State can do to stop their free fall through the Western Conference standings.
The Dubs, now sitting at 16-16 and 10th in the West, are quickly running out of time to put together one more run around their aging superstar. Parsons doesn’t know how the Warriors can effectively remedy their struggles. “We talk about maximizing Steph Curry.
I don’t know what the move is,” the nine-year veteran said on FanDuel TV’s Run it Back . Parsons did mention the possibility of Golden State moving off Andrew Wiggins’ annual $26 million cap hit, but the 36-year-old doesn’t think the Warriors have enough assets to revive their contention status. He listed several trade candidates that could help the team, but underlined how the Dubs were already expected to be mediocre this year.
“Does like a Zach Lavine or Jimmy Butler, do they even move the needle and make them a contender right now this year?” Parsons continued. “I think they make [Golden State] better..
. But this is kinda who we thought they were.” The Dubs’ continued struggles have made many realize that Curry is no longer capable of being the lone superstar on a championship .
