Why Draymond Green Is Right About Warriors’ Title Chances
The Golden State Warriors aren’t done yet. Until Stephen Curry retires, it’s impossible to count them out. Yes, they have an older roster. Yes, injuries are a concern. However, between Curry, Jimmy Butler, and Draymond Green, they boast one of the best trios in the NBA.
They also made sure to build an elite supporting cast this offseason and have trade candidates in Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody to further bolster their roster.
Green has long been Curry’s biggest advocate and believer. He also knows the end of the ride is around the corner, but it’s not over yet.
Draymond Green Gets Honest About Title Chance
Between the Houston Rockets, Denver Nuggets, Los Angeles Lakers, and Oklahoma City Thunder, this is the best the Western Conference has been in a long, long time.

What about a team that was plus-10 per one hundred possessions? The team with the best defense in the league? The highest free throw rate? The Warriors were just that after adding Butler last February.
Yeah, we’d have some confidence in them.
Add in Al Horford, an elite veteran presence who can space the floor, protect the rim, and knows what it takes to win the NBA Finals, and the Warriors should be ready to compete for the Finals.
If Kuminga isn’t traded, it will only be because he continued to take a leap. Brandin Podziemski seems poised to bounce back from a down season last year. The main cast of stars is still in place, as well.
Yes, the Warriors are old and possibly injury prone, but until injuries and ailments pile up, why count them out?
