I'm saying it's been over because if you look at the way they started off, it's their own standard.
When you go to five straight NBA finals, when you win three of those five.
To me, that's the standard that you've left for yourself, and that's what we consider a dynasty.
That's what Steve Kerr, Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and even KD, that's what they're going to be known for, that series of it.
To Jonas' point about 2021-2022, that's kind of been the outlier.
If you go back to the year before the Bubble Boy season, and really since then, they've either missed the playoffs or they've struggled to even get to the conference finals.
So, you know, it's kind of it's kind of been over with the exception of that one year.
And so to answer your question, you know, is it a rebuild?
Yes, it's a rebuild.
But I think the hard thing for Golden State fans is it feels like they've been trying to get that back.
They've been trying to rebuild.
And I don't know if you'd say it's a lack of development, if they've just missed on how they've gone about constructing the roster to be able to get the most out of them.
If you want to give credit to everyone else and say, yeah, they've caught up.
They've mimicked what we started doing back in 2014 and through that 2018 series of time or span of time.
And that's where we've gotten to.
And now it's more difficult.
We've got to find a different way of winning.
Maybe you chalk it up to that.
But if I was being critical, I would say that I don't know that they've ever been able to reclaim a lot of the magic they found in first constructing the roster that led them to that early success with Steve Kerr.
And I think he struggled to find that.
