According to Fox Sports 1’s First Things First host, Nick Wright, the Golden State Warriors didn’t die suddenly. The team dropped down the leader board gradually. When asked if the team’s dynasty is over, Wright said,
“Unfortunately for my friends in the Bay Area (the Warriors), the answer is obviously and unequivocally yes. It didn’t end the moment Kevin Durant left. It was on life support when Klay tears his ACL, and Kevin Durant leaves.”
Here, Wright is referring to Klay Thompson‘s Achilles tendon injury, because of which the Warriors’ shooting guard was mostly off the court.
The Fox Sports analyst feels that trading D’Angelo Russell out was a mistake. He said, “They forfeited their one real ability to add another star, when they traded D’Angelo Russell in order to get Andrew Wiggins and a pick, that we would never get to see Steph Curry in the finals again.”
Wright reminded everyone that the Warriors owe Steph Curry $88 million over the next two years. Similarly, it owes Draymond Green and Klay Thompson $100 million and $165 million over the next four years, respectively.
Then, a disappointed Wright weighs the reality of the situation. “I thought Steph was gonna have a ‘Let me remind everyone how great I am’ season. Draymond Green looked really old, really fast, and we still haven’t seen Klay!”

The Warriors have dropped nine of their last 10 games. Due to this, we feel the Warriors may be tanking.
Are the Golden State Warriors ending their dynasty, just to revive it next season?
This season, major injuries benched the Splash Brothers (Steph Curry and Klay Thompson) for a long time. When Curry made a comeback, the season was suspended in just a few weeks because of COVID-19
The Golden State Warriors’ performance this season leads us to the speculation that the team might be tanking.
