The Golden State Warriors no longer have the star power that carried them to four championships over the past decade, and the offseason hasn’t been as successful as they had hoped.

Still, Draymond Green believes a championship is always possible if he and Stephen Curry are healthy.

“As long as we’re on the field, we’ve got a chance,” Green said, according to ESPN. Ohm Youngmisuk. “Once you get into the playoffs, you watch opposing players pass every day and forget how to play basketball. You see that a lot.

“All we need is a chance.”

Although it didn’t add any All-Star players to its roster, Golden State did add a handful of solid role players. The Warriors signed Kyle Anderson from the Minnesota Timberwolves and Buddy Hield from the Sixers in one game. six team trade. They too received guard De’Anthony Melton in free agency.

Hield has been performing outstandingly so far; He averages 19 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists per game while shooting an extremely high 52 percent. The Warriors probably didn’t expect Hield to fully replace Thompson, but it could be argued that he has already done so.

Melton and Anderson, while not as good as Hield, provided Golden State with solid defense off the bench.

The addition of Hield, Melton and Anderson to the Warriors core of second-year player Brandin Podziemski, Moses Moody and Jonathan Kuminga are all players the Warriors managed to retain by not trading Markkanen this summer.

It’s still early in the season, but the Warriors are up 2-1 and it’s clear they can hold their own in the West. Tuesday’s game against the New Orleans Pelicans will test that without Curry. Misses at least two games with ankle injury.
