“It’s always been a priority and you know when you look at guys like Dirk, Kobe that you play against and have heard them talk about what that’s meant. They don’t speak on it lightly, there’s a reverence for that club.”

“You never know what can happen, obviously, but I feel like that’s always been something that would mean so much to me. You want to stay competitive, you want to stay in that fight where you’re winning championships and if I can accomplish both that’s the ultimate goal.”

Steph is certainly the heart of the Dubs franchise. Ever since his debut with the Dubs, he has transformed the franchise, making them one of the most feared teams of the last decade. Locking him to a long-term contract will be a priority for the Warriors in the upcoming off-season.

Can Steph win another championship with the Warriors?

The Warriors haven’t been the same team ever since the 2019 finals. They lost a flurry of important stars in Kevin Durant and Andre Iguodala. The new-look Warriors have some exciting players like Andrew Wiggins and Kelly Oubre Jr. who are still adjusting to the Dubs’ system.

While Wiggins and Oubre are decent players, they surely aren’t the second and third star in a championship team. There is no doubting the defensive quality they bring, but given that Steve Kerr’s teams have predominantly been offensive powerhouses, the Dubs are in clear need of an offensive talent.

Klay Thompson‘s return next season will certainly be a big boost for them. The Dubs do have enough assets to trade for a want away superstar. With their current roster, they have enough quality to make a deep playoff run, but a championship run is still a longshot.

Will the Dubs make a win-now move in the next off-season, or will they stick with this roster itself?
