Oh I more than understand defensive value. And it’s not 140 million
And apparently the execs themselves understand too, seeing as they CLEARLY are not re-signing Draymond now
Overvalue hard screens and vocal help D brehs
Mr. Boxscoreman, you don't know what it is you're watching.
I don't know why y'all keep thinking them extending Poole has anything to do Draymond's future on this squad.
Poole is the transition from Steph and Klay; he's the only true guard they have in that capacity to take over from them. Draymond's value to them is irrelevant to Poole's, especially since one is only just starting his career and the other is near the end of his. If the Warriors believe they can replace what Draymond does for them, than they'll move him on, otherwise, they'll work towards an agreement to keep him.
What really is apparent - Kyrie's not going to LA.
Who they going to get to replace him. He's their best wing on both ends and they use Kuminga more as a small ball 5 and at the 4 spot.
Their "best wing" is only relative to the now.
It's not really saying much when Kuminga and Moody are both 20, and Iggy is 38. Wiggins doesn't do anything, at all, that can't be replicated by the collective. They've built a dynasty with three core pieces, none of which are wings; that position has been in constant rotation, and if they intend to keep Klay past next season, than there's really no point in keeping Wiggins too.
Klay can moonlight at the 3 until Kuminga and/or Moody are ready to take over, which will/should be sooner rather than later.
