Over the last three seasons, the Golden State Warriors' margin of error was pretty high since they had Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green leading the charge.

The Warriors could turn the ball over 20-plus times and still find a way to win the game in the fourth quarter because of how explosive they were on offense.

But now that Durant is gone and Thompson is expected to miss a big chunk of the 2019-20 season recovering from his ACL tear, Warriors general manager Bob Myers knows the team's margin of error is low moving forward.

“I talked to Steph today; I think there’s a weird levity to it,” Myers said, via The Athletic. “It’s not bad, but there’s an oppressiveness to kind of expecting to win every single game. It means you have a good team, which is great. (But) I think this’ll be a challenge in that we’re not going to have the margin for error that we’ve had in the past. If we don’t play well we’re going to lose and losing isn’t fun.

“Change is hard for everybody, but it’s always coming. So it’s just, how do we embrace this? But it’s nice to hear that the leaders, Steve and the players, are saying it’s going to be a challenge, but a healthy one.”

It's going to be really interesting to see how the Warriors play next season while Thompson is out. The Dubs do have three All-Stars in the starting lineup in Curry, Green and newcomer D'Angelo Russell.

But like Myers says, the Warriors won't be able to rely on their lethal offense anymore since KD is gone. Golden State has to play smart basketball on both ends of the court to stay afloat in the rugged Western Conference while Thompson is rehabbing his leg.
