How the Warriors can win

Circumstances demand Andrew Wiggins’ best; he’s only 25

BY DAVID THORPE

I know how much Klay loves basketball. As a person, I just want him to be able to play basketball. He’s one of the best players I’ve ever seen play. That’s the first thing you feel. I hope he’s going to be able to continue to play basketball.

—Warriors GM Bob Myers, after word of an injury to Klay Thompson

The draft itself went perfectly for the Warriors. They added a wonderful player, James Wiseman, with a chance to delight Warriors fans for many years to come. And yet Bob Myers says the day was a “gut punch” because Klay Thompson has another injury, one that—before an MRI—has people worrying about his career. 

2020 does it again. I imagine some Warriors fans are thinking this means the end of the whole dynasty—that Stephen Curry and company will never dominate and win trophies again. We’ll see.
