Warriors Don’t Want To Waste Stephen Curry’s Final Years

Even before the Warriors season began, Golden State knew this was the potential beginning of the end. Klay Thompson’s contract is up, uncertainty involving key players, Chris Paul’s future in the league, and other note-worthy topics are filling the minds of their front office.

According to ESPN’s Zach Lowe, the Warriors do not want to waste Stephen Curry’s final years in the NBA. With that being said, this team is not looking to tank to gain a better draft position or try to make their roster young through an extensive rebuild.

In fact, per Lowe, it is the complete opposite. General manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. wants to make sure they remain competitive and have the ability to compete for another championship.

The Warriors have questions about their core players, Jonathan Kuminga’s eligibility for a rookie scale contract, and whether they will consider trading Draymond Green or Andrew Wiggins.

Joel Embiid (Sinus) Upgraded Questionable For Friday

According to the Philadelphia 76ers, Joel Embiid has been upgraded to questionable for Friday’s game against the Charlotte Hornets.

The plan is for the team to reevaluate the 30-year-old hours before their game on Friday; it would be a quick turnaround. However, he is already progressing, so there is a possibility of him playing.

Embiid suffered a right sinus fracture during their game against the Indiana Pacers on December 13th; Philadelphia said they would reevaluate him a week from then.

Overall, Embiid has only played six games this season. This is mainly due to suspension, this current injury, and looming knee issues.

Hawks Want To Trade Clint Capela By Deadline

According to multiple reports headlined by Marc Stein, the Atlanta Hawks want to trade Clint Capela’s expiring contract by this year’s trade deadline.

For those unaware, the 30-year-old is making $22.4 million this season, with him becoming an unrestricted free agent next offseason. Atlanta is reportedly not interested in re-signing him.

Onyeka Okongwu, when Capela is no longer with the franchise, is expected to handle the starting center position. The Hawks believe the young big man can handle those responsibilities.

Capela is averaging 10.0 points and 9.4 rebounds in 27 games this season.
