The Golden State Warriors may have won their fourth title, but their dynasty may be in trouble. Reports suggest that the Warriors are unwilling to offer Draymond Green an extension due to their large luxury tax bill. This has not gone down well with the face of the team, Stephen Curry, and even fans are not happy with the news.

Meanwhile, Poole and Wiggins are in their primes and will be integral to keeping this dynasty going.

His contributions on the defensive end are what’s more impressive. When Green is on the floor, the Warriors can switch to a small ball lineup without giving up too much size. He can guard multiple positions on the floor and is an outstanding passer.
