In all honesty I think Joakim Noah would have fit perfectly with the Warriors. He could still pass and you have such deadly weapons around him that his non existent offense wouldn't be that big a liability
Noah shoots as bad at the rim as Ricky Rubio :mjlol: @Malta explain just how putrid that is

I'd say Dreymond for deandre tho
shyt you take Draymond away, the defense away from the paint is gonna get even worse. Klay is great when he wants to be but usually solid to good and can be completely cold times. At least Draymond is gonna give you defensive hustle across the perimeter to the midrange and do great at helping to defend the rim (this based on last year when he had Fagut helping). You take Draymond out and you have to have KD as your PF and move in Iggy at 3 or some shyt, your entire team is collapsing lol. No depth defense to be had (David West's old ass got exposed today) Iggy will have to play significant minutes that he shouldn't be playing at this stage, there is no semblance of a depth lineup as a secret weapon, everyone else has to worry more about facilitating since there's no centralized unit that could handle it like Draymond.

Nah trading Draymond is probably about the second or third worst person you can trade. I'm not sure if taking Steph out for the right pieces is the best move or not, gotta see how they look going forward

David west will just have to step up and step in, also by adding Jordan the team focus will have to change from a perimeter shooting team to a slashing inside the paint to outside the paint team. Plus I think that would be the only trade doc would consider. They already got jj for threes and Crawford as a perimeter threat adding Klay would be more of the same just a lil faster than jj and a lil slower than Crawford. Green is pretty well rounded and would help Griffith in a small big lineup.... U could add any old big body to that at 5. KD at pf for GS is cool cuz their bigs all play small anyway meaning he'd be a matchup nightmare for most opposing pf's. I mean Kerr couldn't possibly think doc would part ways wit Jordan for Klay.... One is way more valuable to the core than the other.... but Dreymond is a different story. Truth is both Klay and dre are too valuable to the squad tho... adding Durante really does hurt them cuz they didn't need more shooters.... They had great role players just willing to do the job.... GS just fukked it up period imo


But I see what you sayin a bit tho

As I said this summer and when golden state signed durant, in a perfect world Golden state needed Marc Gasol.

Deandre Jordan isn't skilled enough to play in their system and neither is Zaza pachulia.

Golden state imploded and destroyed their team.
Golden state got the wrong former thunder.... they should of gotten Ibaka, a big who can defend, rebound, block, and can knock down shots.

I get if they lost by 10 or kept it close at points during the game, but they got out rebounded by 20 I think, beat by 30 and never really led.... I don't think it's an over reaction saying they are missing something. The chemistry will get better.... But the Spurs were in the same boat as the Warriors (new pieces, new chemistry).....plus most said they'd dominate out the gate. The Spurs will have to be dealt with by them again and most likely in the playoffs.... it's not a stretch to say hey, maybe they need an adjustment. Everybody went through the same training camp and preseason:francis:
:comeon: They played one game an opener you haven't even seen them play for a month. :mjlol: Would you take data as a small sample size of one day to try to figure any issue out or would you take the data for multiple weeks or months? :sas2:
