Goodbye 2025-2026 Golden State Warriors

Credit(Getty Images) The Golden State Warriors have reached a crossroads with the days of being a contender behind them.

In doing the end-of-season reviews. The Golden State Warriors have been the model for success. Let's be real, the days of the Warriors chant are kind of over, and so is winning titles. Sure, they probably weren't realistic contenders in a stacked West. The way they handled the Jonathan Kuminga situation, Jimmy Butler injury, and Kristaps move. So here are three questions I have for the Golden State Warriors for the future going forward.

1. Do they have one more big move left in them?

The Stephen Curry era is nearing the end, and if the Warriors want to make one more run at a title. They're going to need to make a big trade to get it done. Jimmy Butler is old and coming off a big injury; he won't be the same. Kristaps is solid, but does he move the needle? There's going to be Giannos sweepstakes, and probably a Kawhi's one as well. The front office has to decide if they're getting into that business.

2. What does Steve Kerr's future look like?

That's interesting because Steve Kerr was the man who saw the dynasty. Now he even admitted earlier in the season that these aren't the same team that was winning titles. Steve Kerr has achieved everything as a coach, and if he wants to walk away, that's fine. Because a post-Stephen Curry era likely won't involve him on the sidelines. Will he continue coaching next season?

3. The future outlook?

It's hard to get excited about them next season if they don't make a trade. I enjoyed watching the Warriors be the envy of the league and win titles. Those days are over for them, at least, without getting another really good player. So they likely will be the same as this season, good enough to maybe be in play in, and that's it. This is going to be a difficult offseason, but maybe an interesting one.
