Monday afternoon was nothing but a nightmare for the Dub Nation at Chase Center. Didn’t Stephen Curry wear his purple shoes? Surely not. Otherwise, losing his “proud daddy” tag vs. the Boston Celtics and losing by 40 points would’ve been impossible (maybe). Curry added 18 points to the 85-point game the Warriors somehow managed to play. And the rest of the group? Single digits. But, among the many highlights of the day, there was one that raised eyebrows.

Draymond Green exited Saturday’s game vs. the Washington Wizards due to a strained calf. Thus, he was out for Monday’s matchup vs. the reigning NBA champs. However, the Dubs’ defensive superhero was courtside, dressed in all black, cheering for the waning dynasty.

Interestingly enough, Stephen Curry was seen talking to his 34-year-old teammate. What was the conversation about? Mystery. Maybe they were talking about how the Warriors were trailing behind the Celtics by 35+ points. With a towel on his head, the Baby-Faced Assassin was deep in conversation, and it looked pretty serious. Not the usual fun-loving and groovy Stephen Curry!

After Monday’s debacle, it is clear that Steve Kerr’s dynasty, his dreams, and plans for the Golden State Warriors are all in their grave. Losing 85-125 was the last thing they’d want. Besides, there is an odd Lakers trade idea swirling around. And maybe, the Dubs front office should consider it, and follow the C’s 2012 road.

Should Stephen Curry and Draymond Green be traded? Clearly, their charm ain’t working this season!

Could the LA Lakers become a home for Stephen Curry and Draymond Green?

Seeing the Golden State Warriors fall apart, one thing comes to mind: Boston’s journey to becoming a powerhouse serves as the perfect lesson for the Dubs to follow. 12 years ago, Danny Ainge made the bold move that set Boston apart. He traded Pierce and Garnett to Brooklyn for a pile of picks. It was risky—trading legends for what seemed like uncertainty. But those picks became Tatum and Brown, the core of today’s contender. Ainge didn’t wait for the decline. Most teams would’ve held on to Pierce out of loyalty. Not Boston. They learned from the Bird and McHale days—no more sentimental slip-ups.

Which brings us to the Warriors. The Dubs are facing a tough choice with Stephen Curry and Draymond Green. Steph turns 37 soon, and while he’s still elite, his efficiency and scoring are slipping. He’s now at 23 points on 17 shots a game, his lowest in years. Defenders are exploiting his slower lateral movement. Draymond, 35 in March, is still a solid defender, but not the anchor he once was. Injuries are adding up—Curry’s knee is keeping him out, and Green’s back and calves are slowing him down. Father Time is here, and he’s not waiting.

But what if, the Lakers get Draymond Green, Kyle Anderson, and Buddy Hield for Rui Hachimura, Gabe Vincent, Jarred Vanderbilt, Christian Wood, and some future picks? Well, pairing the besties here, are we? The Lakers get better defensively and with shooting, going all-in for this season. It might be the wrong move, but they’ll likely take the risk anyway. The Warriors trade long-term deals for short-term money, setting themselves up for a future post-LeBron, Draymond, and AD. A calculated gamble for a potential future gem.

So while the troubles with wins continue for the Dubs, the biggest question haunting the fans is whether Stephen Curry and Draymond Green are losing their edge or not. Don’t be surprised if the answer is a yes. They’re not rookies or sophomores, they are in the twilight of their career and that is the harsh truth. Besides, as mentioned repeatedly before, the rival teams can now see through Steve Kerr’s strategies. It’s becoming easy to understand Steph or Dray’s gameplay. And that isn’t a great sign. Thus, amidst all the conversations tense or light, the front office should think about fixing the problems as soon as possible.
