On the upside for the Warriors, maybe getting all the injuries out at one time is a good thing. Just get it all over with, you know?
Take the high draft pick (their pick this year is protected if in the top 20 and they could use some cheap talent), see what you've got with the younger players getting some experience, wait for the vets to all get healthy, and target next year as your return. It's a short-term bummer... but think about how things fell into place with Steph's bad ankles early on.
reading up on the report, Curry is only expected to miss about 6-8 weeks at most.
I was ready to write him off for the season, but it's not that serious and on his non-shooting hand.
I was almost ready to see this become the Dray & D-Lo show, and find out who the real supporting cast is. DLo gets to up his trade value, or prove himself too valuable to trade..... Dray get to be a leader on the team and teach these youngins a thing or two about teamwork and defense. Meanwhile we miss the playoffs by a lot, increase our chances in the Lottery and score a talent or two or three that takes us back up on a competitive level for the following year when we are fully staffed.
But, it's likely that Steph comes back in time to for the Xmas game.
It's also possible Klay comes back just in time for a late 8th seed push (assuming we have anywhere near enough wins to even bother trying), or maybe he sits and watches the tank as we trade DLo for expiring contracts and some picks. and ride it out for next year instead.
