Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors have slumped to four straight losses after Saturday's 113-105 defeat to the Phoenix Suns. The Warriors were soaring at one point with a seemingly deep roster. However, that's not helping them as much lately. De'Anthony Melton is out for the season with an ACL injury, while Buddy Hield and others have been in a slump.
Younger players like Brandon Podziemski, Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody haven't stepped up either. Meanwhile, star player Steph Curry's production has been just above average, with 22.4 points a night. The Warriors have gone from 12-3 to 12-7 in no time, and the fanbase is already requesting trades after a highly active offseason.
"Time to make some trades," one fan wrote.

"They might lose 10+ in a row," another added.
Another fan posted a snippet of owner Joe Lacob's interview to roast the Warriors:
"If only Jonathan Kuminga would stop taking 3's, & dedicate his game to his true athletic skills. Would pay to see that!" one fan criticized Warriors young forward.
"Well the warriors were beautiful to watch for about 14 1\2 games...we've offially gone vack to last season's style of play...old habits die hard," another fan said.
One fan suggested a bevy of moves, saying:
"Trade kuminga. Kerr garbage. Dont start podz. Start looney, steph, dray, wiggs and moody then buddy, tjd, podz, lindy and Anderson"
Steph Curry has a quiet first half in streak extending loss
Steph Curry and the Warriors endured a slow start and never recovered against the Suns. Curry only had two points in the opening half. He missed all five of his attempts from the floor. The Warriors trailed 66-49 heading into the locker room, and Curry's struggles were one of the reasons behind it.
Curry couldn't find his rhythm until late in the third quarter when he scored nine points. He added another 12 points after that to finish with 23 on the night, shooting 8 of 21, including 3 of 10 from deep. The Warriors dug themselves in too big of a hole to get back up down the stretch after trailing by 17 points at one stage.
Aside from Curry's struggles, the Warriors failed to snap their three-game losing streak because of their lackluster defense and Steve Kerr going deep into his rotations. The lineup combinations didn't seem to work, and the Warriors didn't get any rhythm for most of the game.
