Will This Be The Best Warriors Team?

The Warriors are currently sitting at the top of the NBA with only one loss. Stephen Curry is playing at a MVP pace, Wiggins is finally showing signs of a star, and the Warriors are developing talent around Poole and Gary Payton II. Sure, Draymond is aging and Wiseman is hurt, but that is not stopping the chef from cooking.
Curry is averaging 27 points, 6 assists, and 6 rebounds. He is shooting at almost 50-40-90. Nothing can stop this man from scoring. However, the team is improving from there recent fall from dominance because Curry is surrounded by a host of solid players.
Wiggins is averaging 19 points with some 30 point games under his belt already. Jordan Poole is averaging 17 points, placing his name upon the list considered for most improved. Finally, Gary Payon II is lighting up sports center with his athleticism.
I am assuming that you are already screaming that this team is not capable of breaking the previous record of the 2016 Warriors. However, there is a key piece missing. Klay Thompson. A shooter as good as Klay does not simply lose the way of the splash. Klay is expected to jump back in eager, hungry, and ready. I expect him to average above twenty his first season back. The best present Santa can bring NBA fans.
The lineup would be Curry, Klay, Wiggins, Draymond, and Wiseman. Payton and Poole would come off the bench. An unstoppable, Lakers destroying, Nets demolishing, Giannis crushing team.
HOT TAKE: The Warriors will match their 73-9 record this year.
