    Exactly, they're doubling down.

    I think losing Bogut isn't the end of the world so long as Draymond Green stays healthy. I think he's more than capable of being the garbage guy while still stretching the floor.

    You take away a critical post up man with size and length that helped you win for more perimeter ball hogging. They aren't going to win unless they shake it up and have either Thompson or KD come off the bench.

    wouldn't call the GSW culture anything close to ball hogging. Which is why the transition won't be as difficult as some might be anticipating to me.They play with a team concept and adding KD doesn't change that. The ball moves to get an open shot regardless of who it is. Completely unnecessary to move anyone within the likes of those players to the bench. That only applies to chuckers like the Beasley's, JR Smiths, nick young's in the league that have never seen a shot they didn't like.

    KD will transform himself into Prime Kevin Garnett 2.0 and it will work out better than ever. He did work on his post game right?

    Not sure where youre getting at here. KD is about to thrive in that GS system whether you realize it or not

    Barkley is reverse jinxing GSW, they probably have a hell of a chance to win it now.

    They still have Draymond Green. Also won't surprise me to see KD average 2 blocks a game this year.

    I don't know if it is going to snow in London during Christmas this year....But I do know, as certain as the sun rising East, that the Round Mound of Rebound is going to call the Warriors overrated at the start of the season.

    I hate the Warriors very much, but they are much too potent to doubt. They have the best bunch of gunslingers in the league and they'll be running at teams all game long for 82 games. It's not going to be pretty for the rest of the league. Hopefully teams with strong point guard play can replicate the Cavs' game plan in the playoffs and wear Curry down. Durant will choke as usual down the stretch so I'm not too concerned about him. Klay is a stone cold killer though, he'll be the one I'd put my faith in if I were a warriors fan.

    Wouldn't that eliminate like 99.9% of all sports fans and critics?

    Not sure why Bogut isn't betting as much credit as he should. Bogut was a huge part of how the GSW ran their offense simply because his passing was GREAT and he would kill you with it. Bogut is also a great shot blocker, an excellent defender, and pretty good finisher around the rim. Bogut is also one of those guys who is i believe tougher than Green and can get in your head by just his play with his moving screens, holds, and vet saviness. He will def be missed and replacing him with a super slow West and a perimeter shooter in KD will simply not be enough. GS is going to have to bring one of either Klay or KD off the bench if they want to compete.

    Barkley could finally be right about the warriors this year. They have no rim protection and are going to get murdered on the glass all night long by the front court of teams like Utah, SAS, LAC, Denver and OKC. In hindsight, giving up Bogut for an overkill of perimeter offense was a very risky move.
