Warriors favored again, but is dynasty nearing the end?
The quote came toward the beginning of Steve Kerr’s news conference at Warriors media day last month: “We’re well aware it’s not going to last forever.”
Within minutes, that nine-word sound bite rippled through the blogosphere, causing many to speculate about what exactly Kerr meant. Was he suggesting that Golden State would soon make major roster moves? Was Kerr treating the upcoming season as if it could be the Warriors’ last as a championship favorite?
As is often the case with dynastic runs in sports, some NBA fans have become obsessed with forecasting Golden State’s demise. And the summer of 2019 is a good starting point.
