How Long Can the Warriors Wait on Their Young Talent?

Our NBA insiders are debating the biggest topics in the league. Should the Warriors be worried about their slow start and consider trading their young talent?

Chris Mannix: Well, Howard, the Warriors, defending champions, four-time NBA champions, the team with three future Hall of Famers in the rotation, begin this week as the second-best team in the Bay Area (shout out to my Sacramento Kings). The once stingy defense is suddenly leaky, Klay Thompson has been streaky and the high-end, young talent has not developed as quickly as Warriors brass had hoped. It’s early, but where is your Panic Meter at right now?

Howard Beck: I think my biggest concern, as a Bay Area native, is that I somehow missed the news of a catastrophic earthquake that wiped out all of Solano and Yolo counties, causing the entire city of Sacramento to slide 60 miles westward. Your fellow Sacramento Kings fans would be surprised to learn they live in the Bay Area.
