Will they be called splash triplets if ever he showed consistency in his game? Grin

I wish Thompson will be back on his old game and not be mentally affected by two consecutive injuries. He was suppose to start the season but was blown by a ruptures Achilles tendon. Reports tell that he may not make a 2021-2022 season debut but possibly in January.

That's the problem, they already have a big 3 already, and Wiggins I would say is also inconsistent last year. That's why I said that if he can elevate his game with Klay on the line, GSW could surprise us in the western conference. As long as Klay can play next season, it will be fine, and hopefully he is back and recovered 100%.

I honestly believe that Wiseman is a great potential player as well and they could trade Wiggins to get some side pieces as well. Just keep it Curry-Klay-Dray-Wiseman and then get some side pieces and you will be fine, the fifth person on the starting five doesn't matter way too much because they will simply just use curry-klay combo most of the time and only pass when the fifth is open.

However I believe that they need a great bench, because most of the time either curry or klay stays on if the game is close, and that means they need people around them, like shaun livingston, or younger iguodala, or others like that back in the day. That should help them reach to a place where they are much better and could definitely end up with some more wins if they could make a trade like that.

The current roster is fine, as long as Thompson starts to play and get the same stats he got when he was still active, then things could possibly change for this team, we will see the old warriors again, and definitely, they will be an exciting team to watch, probably a big surprise this season.

Based on this report.

With Achilles injuries typically requiring a 6-12 month recovery time, that would mean roughly a clean bill of health in November for Thompson and at this stage, the Warriors expect him to at least miss the first part of the new season, potentially not seeing the floor till early 2022.

He will be back next season but we might not see him this year as the NBA opens their season by December.
I don't expect a lot from him, but at least stlowly if we see some progress from him, that would be good enough to boost the team's confidence in going back to the playoffs after few season of missing.
