I agree on the GSW part. AD for Butler (assuming AD stays healthy) probably puts them in the same tier they are now, which is not really great. And they would significantly deplete their assets for needed improvements to put them a tier or two above. I wouldn't be betting my future on that. GSW season is imho doomed. They might still be good enough to crawl to the playoffs, but I can't see them go past first round. They are probably also too far away from bottom spots to make sense to do a hard tank.

four titles and a dynasty run is awesome.   Not many fanbases get that.  The ending is always a little ugly.  It just sucks because Steph is still really good.   Them getting the fourth title was really icing on the cake.  I don't think many thought they had another title in them.

It is crazy to think where they would be if they didn't blow two high lottery picks.  Both guys they picked were top of their HS class.  Neither worked out though.   I don't know if it is people trying to protect themselves, but reporting recently seem to think others wanted to take someone else in those drafts.
