The Warriors still have their championship core intact, but now they have a handful of youngsters to bring along on their quest for another title.

Draymond Green had previously expressed skepticism on the youth movement that they're on right now. But as the Warriors stay quiet on the trade front, it seems as though they'll have to make the best out of their current situation.

“Historically we have not seen that work where you’ve kind of got a mix of old, I wouldn’t say any of us are old, but older, Andre’s old as s–t actually,” the Warriors star joked. “But a mixture of experience and hardly any experience, historically I think in just being a fan of the NBA, I can’t recall the last time you’ve seen someone have success with that, but in saying that that is our situation. So, you do what you got to do to make that situation work.”

First lesson for the Warriors rookies – don't bite on Stephen Curry's pump fakes. That's obviously easier said than done, but a couple thousand reps with Steph should probably do the trick.
