Golden State Warriors: Which lineups should the team run without Stephen Curry?
Life without Stephen Curry
The Warriors should be worried. There’s no doubt about it. But there is still hope.
Steve Kerr is one of the top five coaches in the league. Draymond Green is one of the top five defenders in the league. D’Angelo Russell is a top 10 pick-and-roll ball-handler in the league.

As well as that, they have masses of young talent, who will all have massive opportunity to grow within a system that is designed to make basketball as easy as possible them. From Jordan Poole to Damion Lee, any one of them could be a breakout player this season.
Now without Curry, many fans are calling for the Warriors to just trade Russell, play their young players, and tank for the rest of the season. The NBA season is only four games in. The young Dubs have a chance now to really gel as a team and learn the system perfectly without Curry.
Hopefully, they can tread water enough so that by the time Curry comes back around Christmas (please Santa, it’s the only thing I want this year), the Warriors will be in a position to go on a run and push for a playoff spot.
