Curry: With the Warriors existing core lineup, you can compete with any team in the league as long as you stay healthy

According to an article written by NBA reporter Ron Kroichick, it talked about Warriors player Stephen Curry's offseason.

So far, the Golden State Warriors' offseason has been relatively calm, but Curry is not worried. He was "very upset" to see long-time teammate Kevin Looney leave the team as a free agent. He is not anxious about the increasingly competitive Western Conference - here are the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder, the Houston Rockets, the reshape of the lineup after Kevin Durant, and the new Dallas Mavericks with Cooper Flagg.

Curry admitted that it would be difficult to devote himself to basketball in July, especially because "he is sure there will be some changes before the start of the training camp." The Warriors are still pending due to Jonathan Cumingga’s restricted free agent status, and the future of potential signing targets Al Horford and D'Anthony Melton is still undetermined. Regardless of how things develop, Curry sees hope from the Warriors' strong performance in the second half of last season. After Jimmy Butler joined the roster, they won 23 games in the last 30 games of the regular season before eliminating the Rockets in the first round, but lost to the Timberwolves after Curry's hamstring strain.

Curry said in an interview: "I reviewed the last 30 games after Butler's arrival. I think our net efficiency can be ranked in the top three. Obviously, for us, the key is to stay healthy and play a season smoothly. I think with our existing core lineup, as long as we stay healthy, we can compete with any team. We performed very well at the end of last season and reached the Western Conference semi-finals. After that, I was injured and the team was in trouble. But looking at the overall performance, this sample size is large enough to show that we have something to rely on. Now we just want to do better in details."

Last season, the Warriors finally won 48 wins and 34 losses and ranked seventh in the Western Conference. The Western Conference played a big score of 4-3 in the first round, but in the semi-finals, they finally lost to the Timberwolves 1-4 and were eliminated.
