The Warriors can't let this happen again. They can't let a MVP-level Steph Curry season go to waste. They can't miss the playoffs with Curry and Draymond Green still sharing the court.

"It's guys that maybe can stretch the floor -- maybe a shooting big, maybe a playmaking guard. ... Maybe some more offense-minded guys," general manager Bob Myers told reporters on Monday.

No matter how great Steph was, and he was out of this world at 33 years old, Myers knows the two-time MVP needs some more help.
"Offensively, you saw it too, how Steph was being guarded, it's not fair to him almost," Myers said. "One guy can't do that much. It's a compliment to him, clearly, that he got the attention he got. But that's very hard and a lot to ask of him to shoulder that burden by himself.
"So we need to help him on the offensive side a little bit."

Now, we'll have to wait and see just how serious Myers and Co. are about helping out their superstar.
