They say “when it rains, it pours.” Well, this weekend by Lake Tahoe it can be said “when it Curry’s, it flurries.”
Stephen Curry, his younger brother and 76ers guard Seth and their father and NBA veteran Dell will all hit the links this weekend for the American Century Championship at the Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course, playing from Wednesday through Sunday. Wednesday and Thursday’s play will consist of practice rounds, before scoring begins on Friday and continues through the weekend.

And starting in July, the Warriors coach and forward will be reunited with the two-time NBA Finals MVP, but for them, the five rings in play won’t be diamond-studded – they’ll be the five Olympic rings.
Read MoreThe Warriors are entering the off-season with a number of flexible assets, including their two lottery picks in this year’s draft, James Wiseman, Kelly Oubre Jr. in a possible sign-and-trade, and their future first round picks. They could obviously hold onto those assets and hope that what they currently have is enough. However, rumors have been swirling about possible trade targets if the Warriors decide to take some of those assets and try to add another star. Enter Zach LaVine.

An open-wide 2021 NBA Playoffs is proof that Golden State has the chance to make noise next season with Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and the soon-to-return Klay Thompson back in the fold. Alongside developing young talent like Jordan Poole and notable impact players like Juan Toscano-Anderson, the Warriors can absolutely be a contender in the 2021-2022 season.
To get there, they’ll need to add some extra reinforcements to the roster, and despite their cap restrictions, Bob Myers and company have valuable assets to accomplish that goal. With the seventh and fourteenth picks in the 2021 draft, with a couple players on the roster that could yield trade value, the Warriors could very well make a splash, receiving a household name in return.

But this time for the Warriors, it’s different – Golden State has the No. 7 and No. 14 picks in the 2021 NBA Draft, with a blue-chip prospect in 2020 No. 2 overall pick James Wiseman also in tow as a trade piece. Suffice it to say, upcoming rumors probably have more validity than the dime-a-dozen edits of Giannis Antetokounmpo wearing blue and gold on social media.
Read MoreDraymond Green has never been one to hold back when something’s on his mind, and that was certainly on full display on HBO’s latest episode of “The Shop.”
Draymond joined Tom Brady, Kid Cudi, Chelsea Handler and Paul Rivera for a discussion about the grind of winning, charting one's own path, mental health and sports media.
