How many more NBA championships do the Stephen Curry-led Golden State Warriors win before the Warriors' dynasty dismantles due to salary cap, free agency, and new NBA parity in the 2020s?

Or is this the future Celtics/Lakers/Bulls?

If you go by historical trends, they're only going to win two more. No NBA superstar has won more than five championships in the salary cap era. Also Klay Thompson's contract is up after next year and KD and Draymond's contracts are up after 2020. I have to think it's only a matter of time before they start losing some of those guys unless all of them end up taking gigantic pay cuts.

One. Two max. If Houston would have made one of the 27 straight 3's they missed Curry might only have two

Give me the under. 2.5 would be an interesting debate, but getting 4 more would be historic.

Wins one more with this team.

Wins another with another crew a few years from now after green and iggy are gone.

I doubt that he is healthy for 2 more finals in a row.
Ankle. Houston plays Celtics.

Celtics win one.

only hope (and maybe Toronto this year) for the next three or four years

curry,Durant and Thompson if together will keep them at the top regardless of what they do with green. My guess is they trade green before his deal is up and Klay has already said he’s not leaving. Durant would be an idiot to even think about bolting

O/U should be set at 1.5

The juice on the over would be too ridiculous. I'd set it at 2.

The O/U would likely be pegged at 1.5

I think they get 2. I don't like the team, but you have to acknowledge that they have both the top grouping now, and will likely win a 2nd on the basis of championship experience- we've seen that from plenty of teams in decline that simply knew how to play a more talented opponent due to superior situational experience.

Green is so much more important than he gets credit for. He sets the tempo, none of Thompson, Curry, or Durant. I don’t see them setting the tone on defense the way he does.

1 more, maybe 2, not 3

At least 2 with the current iteration. Eventually at least some of Klay, Draymond, and KD will leave, probably in the next 2-3 years. Iggy will be heading towards retirement and Boogie is likely only there for one year.

I think Steph is the one that will stay for his career. Plus at least one of the other 3. Those guys possibly win more with a different roster a few years after this run ends.

I agree and his defensive versatility helps not only hide Curry, who gets shite on too much for his defense but still isn't very good, but lets them get out faster on the break.

I still have a hard time figuring out Thompson as well. He's one of the best shooters of all time, but sometimes I watch him and it seems like he can't dribble. I think having Curry and especially Durant on the drive sets him up for so much success. It would be interesting to see Thompson get his own team and be the legit number one scorer.

On average, about how many hours per day do you spend thinking about Lebron?

Line should be 2.5

Not sure how long Durant stays healthy, Klay sticks around and some team shows up out of the East. Nobody really saw GS being as dominant as they are now, everyone thought it would be San Antonio, the Clippers or Thunder who would win all the championships once the Heat broke up. Then bam, it’s GS. Somebody will emerge.
