This season, the Warriors ended a series of five Finals in a row, to find themselves dead last in the NBA with only 15 wins! The fault of the serious injuries of Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry, but also a complicated offseason with the departures of Kevin Durant and Andre Iguodala or the retirement of Shaun Livingston. But the franchise will rebound, and Adam Silver sees them return to the top of the rankings as of next season.
« I am very confident that they will quickly become a title contender again. He replied to the San Francisco Chronicle. “I look at the quality of their management. Of course, the quality of their players currently in the workforce. I have no reason to believe they won’t be back in the top of the NBA. »
In the midst of negotiations with the players’ union on the resumption of the next season, Adam Silver also returned to the average audiences of the playoffs and Finals played in the “bubble”, and he does not know if the presence of the Warriors would have changed what whether it be.
« It’s hard to predict. As a league, we recognize that the recovery has been difficult in many ways. We are not trying too hard to draw conclusions from the hearings last summer. We were at a different time of year, in a different competition. There was also, of course, immense and enormous interest in the elections.. »
“They become a model for the other teams in the league”
Adam Silver also believes that the public appreciates continuity in a championship, and the “dynasties”, like those of the Bulls, Lakers or Warriors, create enthusiasm.
« There’s no doubt that the sequel is helping to build fans nationally and internationally, for that matter. I think fans are drawn to familiar faces, especially when it comes to the playoffs. But in the end, the public, in all markets, supports his team. Mostly an occasional fan who watches the playoffs. He or she just wants to see the best competition possible, and that’s defined by who wins. »
To conclude on the Warriors, he recalls that the franchise, like the Spurs, has become a model for others, and the foundations are solid. ” The goal of the NBA is to have 30 teams, all well-led, that are in a position to play for the title. As far as the Warriors are rewarded for their solid management by being in contention for the title again, I see it as something positive as they become a role model for other teams in the league.. »
