Ummm, how can one team afford this many all star players? Did the Warriors have to renounce their entire bench or something?
Its also ironic considering him and WB were the ones that choked. It wasn't his team's fault...it was Durbetta.
Curry signed his deal before he became MVP when there were big questions about his ankles. The still have Iguodala and Livingston. They lose Ezeli & Barnes plus traded Bogut.
Good article on what went down... http://theundefeated.com/features/strength-in-numbers-convinced-kevin-durant-to-join-warriors/
So warriors have... Curry/Livingston Thompson/? Durant/Igodaula Green/? ZaZa/? That's seven pretty legit players right there.
Sure guarding them is now going to be absolutely insane considering that Barnes' poor shooting at the end of the series killed them. Wasn't one of the biggest issues for the Warriors during the Cav's comeback the lack of a rim protection because Green was suspended followed by Bogut's injury and Ezeli not performing consistently? Are they really going to be able to succeed purely with 100% switching defense without that? True not every team has players good enough to take advantage of Curry on defense, but it could still be problematic.
That roster is so much better than what the Heat had. They could lose Durant or Curry to injury and still be title contenders.
When Harden leaves Houston it's going to be the opposite. People will be cheering him and thankful he left that crappy team.
No rim protector at all. Green will have to do much more defensively throughout the year to try to cover that, which will limit his offense and playmaking.
If he doesn't win a ring and bails out, he will be disrespected worse than how he is being perceived now.
