Just watched another video where they said Trade Wiggins and the number 2 overall to get jrue holiday, and pair him with Steph

man I swear to god, if I hear another fukking trade scenario that puts Klay at the SF position...

like how can they acknowledge that Klay is coming off an ACL injury and in the same breath suggest that he play Small Forward?! shyt is beyond stupid at this point

:mjtf: :dahell: :hhh: :snoop:

This is the problem with people thinking the warriors were a small ball team. They think they'll play 3 guard rotations like the Rockets:mjlol:

Warriors since 2015 have always had a starting SF who's at least 6'8:gucci:

I love Klay but he ain't guarding no damn LeBron and KD, especially not off an injury:stopitslime:

:dwillhuh:

Three-guard rotations =/= small ball.

Just because the Warriors typically had an adequate size 3, doesn't mean that they still weren't small-ball lineups. You don't need a guard at the 3 to rule it small. Small-ball lineups are essentially lineups that don't have two big men (well, to be more specific, no traditional center). I don't know where this misconception came from where there's a certain height limit, especially in today's positionless state where wing height and maximum length is the ideal foundation of lineups.

Alchemy discusses a potential 3 team trade involving the Nets and Pacers. We would give up the 2nd pick and receive Spencer Dinwiddie and Jarrett Allen :jbhmm:
He also discusses another potential trade in which we would trade Wiggins and the 2nd pick for Bradley Beal...Hell the fukk No to that trade scenario :camby:

I keep seeing people saying to temper expectations down for the Warriors next year cause "The West is better", "Klay coming of injury", "Dray is washed", "Steph can't carry a team without KD", "Wiggins is trash" etc....

So I looked up some stats of the last time Steph/Klay/Dray were healthy and playing together minus KD and....

In the last 12 Games of the 2019 playoffs:

Steph: 32/6/6 on 43/37/94 splits

Klay: 25/4/3 on 47/49/88 splits

Dray:13/11/9 on 47/27/73 splits


They're adding Wiggins who was 19/5/4 on 46/34/67 splits in his last 12 games of this season.



Now lets compare the 2019 Warriors last 12 games to the reigning NBA champions last 12 games in the bubble:


LeBron:29/11/9 on 56/37/73 splits

AD:27/9/3 on 55/38/91 splits

Rondo: 8/6/4 on 42/39/67 splits

KCP: 12/2/1.4 on 44/37/85


Am I saying that the current Warriors roster is definitely enough to beat every other team in the league? No. Am I saying Steph/Klay/Dray won't have any rust to work through? No. Am I saying Wiggins will instantly gel with the core? No.

What I am saying is that with the right moves around the margins and healthy squad we should be considered a top 3 team in the NBA unquestionably. Stylistically only the Lakers/Clippers/Bucks should give us problems due to their size but even then they'll all have trouble guarding the 3 headed monster of the Splash Bro's and Maple Jordan.....

While Draymond stands at the 3point line not being guarded:unimpressed:
