On August 25, following Klay Thompson’s departure, there has been ongoing discussion about whether the Golden State Warriors can still contend for the championship. Earlier, NBA veteran Paul Pierce weighed in on this issue, suggesting that if the Warriors want to continue contending for titles with Curry, they should consider recruiting Giannis Antetokounmpo.
“I think the only way for the Warriors to get back to that position is to find a way to bring Giannis over,” said Pierce. He also stated that this is the only plan he believes could revitalize the Warriors during the final years of Curry’s superstar career. Additionally, he firmly believes that Curry will remain in San Francisco and not leave. Pierce said, “He’ll go down with the ship; everything is here for him.”
This summer, the Warriors have indeed been trying to find help for Curry. They pursued Paul George, but he ultimately signed with the Philadelphia 76ers; they attempted to acquire Lauri Markkanen, who eventually chose to sign a long-term extension with the Utah Jazz.
