Are the Warriors risking the final years of Steph Curry’s career?

The Golden State Warriors struck out in their pursuit of both Paul George and Lauri Markkanen this summer. According to reports, Golden State’s front office had been unwilling to include either Jonathan Kuminga or Brandin Podziemski in trade discussions with the Utah Jazz. As such, the Warriors will head into the new NBA season without a clear-cut second-scoring option.

Curry is reportedly remaining calm over the franchise’s current situation, and the Warriors are said to be confident that they’re well-positioned to make a big trade when the right deal becomes available. However, until that trade occurs, Curry will be shouldering a heavy workload following Klay Thompson’s departure.

In a recent episode of the “Gils Arena” podcast, Gilbert Arenas and the panel of hosts discussed whether the Warriors were running the risk of wasting Curry’s final years in the NBA. The sharpshooting superstar is entering his age-36 season and will turn 37 before the playoffs.

The front office will need to find Curry some additional veteran help if they’re truly intent on challenging for another championship in the near future.
