How The Warriors Could Possibly Fail With Kevin Durant
OAKLAND (CBS SPORTS) -- So Kevin Durant is now in Golden State, and the Warriors look on paper to be the most dominant team we may have ever seen. Two MVPs, four members of All-NBA, four All-Stars, but it's not just the raw talent for the Warriors, it's how they fit together.
This isn't the Heat with two players who were at their best at power forward in LeBron James and Chris Bosh, or two ball-dominant wings in James and Dwyane Wade. There's no real "figure it out" in terms of how the Warriors should play, only questions of how the ball should get distributed and what new wrinkles should be incorporated into the Warriors' pre-existing system.
There are no age concerns here. Steph Curry is the oldest of the core (if you don't count Andre Iguodala) at age 28, and he has four-to-six more years of his prime ahead of him if he can remain without another significant injury that requires surgery.
This core should be entirely in its prime throughout the duration of Durant's five-year deal, after which Durant will be 32 and likely have several more good years left.
