Should the Warriors Stop Chasing Veterans?

Wembanyama put on an all-time performance in the Western Conference Finals, and now Warriors fans have to sit with an uncomfortable truth: this team is aging out in real time. The hosts break down what Wemby’s dominance actually means for Golden State’s future — and why chasing another veteran might be the worst thing the Warriors can do.
One host drops a stat that hits hard: four of the 20 oldest players in the NBA are on the Warriors roster right now. So when the talk turns to bringing in LeBron or Kawhi, the question isn’t whether they’d help — it’s whether that kind of short-term thinking kills any chance at a real rebuild. The debate gets heated, with one side ready to blow it up and the other still trying to make the playoffs with Steph.
This is one of the most honest conversations about Golden State’s future you’ll hear anywhere.
Topics discussed include:

Wembanyama’s legendary WCF performance and what it means for the rest of the league
The Warriors having 4 of the NBA’s 20 oldest players
The LeBron James to Golden State debate — short-term boost or franchise mistake?
Steph Curry’s place in the “must-see TV” conversation vs. Wemby
Why Golden State may need to have a hard conversation about a full rebuild

Do you think the Warriors should go all-in with LeBron, or is it time to blow it up and get young? Let us know in the comments.

  1. Spurs vs Thunder WCF right now!!! Wemby, Fox, Castle, Harper are all stars each doing different things on the court, plus vassel, champagnie, Keldon Johnson, Kornet, Carter Bryant, olynyk beating the thunder. Oh yea thunder won the championship last year with 3 all stars plus caruso, hartenstein, mccain, ajay mitchell, wiggins, Wallace, dort. No point in ever talking about GSW’s non competitive trash roster comparably

  8. You trade Draymond for a mid to low first rounder and 2nd rounder, you sign LeBron on the cheap, you get Jimmy and Moses healthy, you draft EXTREMELY WELL, and most importantly, you make Kerr play the best players for the team, not his best friends and make him coach everyone. You change the offense from Steph only to something that can feature Steph but not work him to death

  9. Steiny is right on. Do NOT bring another old player onto the Warriors. NOT LeBron. NOT Kawhi. NOT Giannis. I’d go after a player or 2 in his early prime. Find another SGA when he was with the clippers. Find another Brunson when he was with Dallas. While you’re at it , use your future pics to trade for a top 5 pick in this years draft – and keep the 11th pick.

  10. No, I don't want to be "better" and stay stuck in play-in, mid-first round draft purgatory. We need to suck for a few years, get some lottery picks and build a young, talented team, e.g. Thunder, Spurs, Pistons.

  11. Why bring in new young talent? Look who's coaching. Kerr has no clue how to coach young players. That's why he adores Draymond. When Draymond is on the floor, he allows Kerr to coach less . . . . . . .
