After falling short in the NBA playoffs to the Los Angeles Lakers, the Golden State Warriors headed into the NBA offseason determined to shake things up, and that they did by trading Jordan Poole for veteran point guard Chris Paul.
Even though the move seemed a bit strange at the time, many believed it might ultimately be something that makes the team better moving forward because Poole seemed to be regressing or simply not caring about his shot selection on the floor, which has carried over to the Washington Wizards.
Despite the absence of veteran forward Draymond Green to start the season, the Warriors looked pretty good to begin the 2023-24 campaign with Paul joining the squad.
Unfortunately, that didn’t last long, as the team has begun to struggle with Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins not looking like the same players and Green letting his frustration out on opponents in the worst way possible.
After starting the season with a 5-1 record, the Warriors have since lost 10 more games and currently sit under .500 at 9-11, with the potent offense of old seemingly being a thing of the past in San Francisco, as ESPN’s Marc Spears points out via NBA on ESPN.

Fortunately for Golden State, there’s plenty of time to turn things around and get back on track as a legitimate force to be reckoned with in the Western Conference.
However, if the Warriors can’t get things figured out before the NBA trade deadline in February, this dynasty may finally come to an end as the front office has to consider moving Thompson and/or Wiggins.
