It's draymonds team, he runs their offense and defense. Is their vocal leader. Durant will be the leading scorer next year for the Warriors, he's just much morr versatile than curry. He will also probably play more minutes than curry too. Klay is the perfect personality for a fourth best player role. You will see him take the role of defensive stopper to the next level. Warriors are gonna be great, I'm excited.
Payton and Malone were washed up by that point - seriously can't believe people even consider that a big 4. That was a big 2 and some old men.

Oh he's hands on alright. Was Gordon impressed with the way Les "took charge" 11 games into the season; or his bold move to give his buddy Ryan Anderson $20 mil a year for the next four years? Gordon's right, Les isn't your average owner, he's becoming the Jerry Jones of the NBA
Agree as well. Their Interior Defense is BAD. The net gain won't be significant for the Warriors (not that they needed to get better). But it's incredibly risky. Depth took a hit. Boston would've been a better choice for Durant in my opinion (since Bogut + Ezeli are gone).
And they traded defense for offense. It's a risky move (a move that you ABSOLUTELY make). But their interior D is going to be their Achilles' heel, probably as strong as Varejao's Achilles' heel.
Yes congratulations. Now that there's zero chance of winning for the next 5 years we have Les to help us in the treadmill instead of rebuilding.
I've been a houston fan since the 90s, and have been reading this board since 99-2000. I'm as much as a fan as you. Being a fan isn't like being in a gang. It's not black and white. You can be a fan of multiple teams!! Gasp. I'm really a fan of entertainment. Not really emotionally invested in any sports team (which sometimes I see borders on religious fervor).... Its a freaking game, we watch to be entertained. And the Warriors are gonna be some damn good entertainment
Keep seeing quality pgs being swept up like rondo, dj augustine, and niw Jennings for pnnies on the dollar. Why is Morey sitting on his arse on aquiring a pg for MD??? Do not understand this team's love affair with Beverly....
Bogut hardly played that much and was a non-factor on both ends of the court when you consider the liability he was in small ball. Their D will not suffer that much if at all. They are just fine with Greene at center.
KD is a better defender than Barnes and Bogut plays so little if they can get any center to be solid on D and the boards they are right where they've always been. The lineup of death now has a rim protector of sorts (KD)
