Last season before the playoffs, I told warriors fans that Klay's peak has long passed and he should be traded. Y'all thought my take was hilarious. GO to twitter and see fans saying same

Na only sentiments still dey keep the guy for GSW

I will even prefer draymond stays rather than klay. Klay is easily replaced. Virtually the whole league shoots threes these days. It wouldn't be hard to find a 6'6+ 3 and D combo guard or forward/guard

But you see a defensive and assit juggernaut like draymond would be hard to find

Calm down. This is 13 games into an 82 game season. What you should be questioning is your younger guys and why have they not been showing up.

The likes of Wiseman, Moody, Kuminga and Poole. We are not seeing anything thus far from them that indicates they can be reliable contributors for a team vying for another title.

We all know after two serious injuries and the fact that Klay is already pushing 33 indicates he's on borrowed time but that Warriors team is just not clicking and it's bigger than just Klay

But you also said, correct me if I'm mistaken that Poole is the next coming.
The thing is, history has shown that players with Klay's skillset tends to age well, and his erratic and underwhelming play can still be attributed to recovery from injuries. IMHO a better judgment of where Klay is, will come after the allstar break, if he doesn't iron out the inconsistencies by that time, then shipping him off becomesa conversation that conversation be had.
As for Draymond, his skillset is important to the GSW, but not at the price his Max contract computes out as. If he can accept something in the range of 4yr/100-110mil, then that might be tenable, but at 138mil, that is $34.5mil/yr in new more for a glorified role player who will be 37yrs at the last year of the contract.

We are basically doing the opposite of what we did last season. J. Mazzulla is coaching this team to establish our offense and defense will come along. I like the offense , it is balanced especially for the J’s and we have better control from the PG position.

ESPN will do well to have Z. Lowe and C. Ogwumike make more studio appearances for their primetime games. They are way better than most of their combination.

We'll soon have a discussion about the Warriors' easy path to the Finals last year.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 6:34am On Nov 17, 2022
I see it took a disastrous playoffs last season for the Suns to learn the hard way when it comes to resting CP3.

As for the Warriors, I will be the last person to write them off. They just need to fix their defense and they will be fine.

In the worst case they fail this season, they have over achieved and maximized their potentials.
Re: The NBA Begins by Skrrrrrrr: 7:13am On Nov 17, 2022
Klay is not the problem. The warriors first unit is among the best in the NBA, the second Unit, however, are the worst. They can't defend to save their lives.
Kuminga, Moody and Wiseman are not warriors material. A GP2 is better than all 3 combined. Even Poole has been tanking.
The difference between the dubs of last season and the duds of this season, is the second Unit.

Warriors are fine. Championship teams usually have a letdown the next year - it is hard to play with 100% effort after the roller coaster emotions to winning a ring. Anything less than playoffs will not motivate you. If there are still issues after all-star, then Id worry. We are just in November! Sports analysts are just looking for news to keep their jobs.

Looks like this their youth are not good enough at all. If nothing changes by Allstar break they better combine all that youth and trade for a marquee guy. Can't afford to waste another elite season from Steph

Oga, the first unit is trash this season..even average at best. Klay, Poole and Wiggins are inconsistent. Draymond green is a triple single machine as usual

Klay needs to go. He can't do better than this. I am very sure...he can never get back to all-star status

I think you should actually follow the games.
The first unit has been outscoring opponents by an average of 21point.
That is actually top 3 in the NBA. That is a fact and not a postulation. You can check it out.
The problem begins when the first unit sits, the bench can neither score nor defend.

By the way, Poole isn't in the starting Unit and Wiggins has been consistent undecided undecided undecided undecided

He is the best small forward in the league and no one is looking to take that spot. KD should be but the age is telling and Brooklyn is taking too much prestige from him. Nets most likely won't make the playoffs so even a 30ppg (if he drops one) will be inconsequential. Barely 15 games in, you can almost guess who is going into the first team All NBA, Tatum, Doncic, Giannis, Embiid and one more PG.

Warriors is going nowhere with their bench full of rookies. No one has stepped up, absolutely no one. Poole who is supposed to be a 6th man is playing russian roulette since he now has the bag. 2 points in 27 mins against suns? That's absurd to say the least.
