A question for the more astute Basketball fans. Whats GS window look like realistically? 2 more years? 3?
What young team in the west is posed to ascend? Is there a future "no doubt" western conference representative (like the current GS or like Cleveland has been in the east)?
Not sure what an astute fan would say, but as a shameless Warriors fan ... well, first off, it's unknowable: dynasties have a way of falling apart more suddenly than we imagine (viz. Jordan's Bulls, the Threetles, The Heatles, the Beatles, etc.) But if I had to guess, I'd say the Hamptons 5 will stay together at least another two years — i.e. till the end of Andre's contract, with Klay probably extended beyond that.
As far as KD: I haven't heard or seen anything to support nighthob's claim that he has been "grumbling" about his below-market deals. He took his current deal of his own accord, with no cajoling from the Warriors FO, and has a $300M Nike contract plus other endorsements and investments to assuage any misgivings about it. And from everything I've heard, he he loves Oakland, and the proximity to Silicon Valley (for his budding career as a thin-skinned internet mogul), and his teammates. But ... who knows. Contractually, KD has entered the LeBron zone, where he’ll likely sign a one-year deal at a time, to allow himself optimal flexibility and capriciousness.
In two years, Draymond's contract comes up, and there are always rumors that they’ll want to trade in his somewhat high maintenance personality and potentially limited shelf-life (due to his high-impact game) for a younger, flashier model like Anthony Davis. But two years is an eternity in the NBA — player movements + injuries + butterfly effects + age-related decline + unexpected blossoming (etc.) multiplied over that long of time period almost guarantee that the NBA landscape will look extremely different in summer of 2020.
