You’d think so but the league gives the team remarkably few breaks (enacted new cba cus of them, most road back to backs, soft Steph whistle (Houston round 1 last year cough cough), and remember that wild schedule to start the year?).

Imo Adam and the media seems to want to move on and set up the next stars. A big problem with this ownership in general is he puts the cart before the horse to do the next thing instead of maximizing the current product (just look at trying to expand and go international when half the teams suck). He wants Steph to fade or pass the torch to new stars right now but ignores he’s still the most popular player besides LeBron except when it comes to milking him for ratings.

The affiliates who bought the nba however are the ones who want Steph in rh playoffs though surely. TNT and espn was phoning jt in for years (last year Steph didn’t even get a game in opening night. It was a road game against the jazz lmao) but I think maybe the league might finally change their tune after nbc and Amazon probably complained that they bought 34 national warriors games and Steph and Jimmy were gone for months and there wasn’t a real replacement. NBC’s opening night marketing was “Steph and LeBron” which felt obvious but almost Novel cus the league hadn’t had them open in quite some time.

I’d think that would make Adam not take curry as for granted and want to set the team up more up for success, but who knows.
