One morning last week, the Golden State Warriors held their championship parade. Their coaches and executives were back in the office by that afternoon. They had an NBA draft workout to attend.

The squeeze between their latest title and the draft on Thursday night left them almost no time to celebrate. The Warriors were scouting prospects and plotting draft strategies while they were still in the playoffs, and it became their exclusive focus as soon as the NBA Finals were over. “Right away,” Warriors president of basketball operations Bob Myers said. “Like, the flight home.”

The draft is a powerful tool for the league’s awful teams since it allows them to be less awful with a single decision. But it’s oddly imperative for the best team in the league, too. That is the peculiar thing about this draft: There has never been a more intriguing No. 28 pick.

“We’re looking for a guy that can play,” Myers said. “Which is a little unusual.”

OK, we know what you’re thinking: Is this really a story about the Warriors on the one day of the NBA calendar when the Warriors are supposed to be irrelevant? And we get it. You’re tired of the Warriors. The entire league is tired of the Warriors. Even the Warriors are tired of the Warriors.
