they'll be making a big mistake if they get rid of draymond
In what world?!?
Draymond serves 3 roles: defensive anchor, leader/goon, and facilitator
1. Looney at the 5 is every bit the defender, just not as switchy. But now that you have wiggins and they’ve seen wiggins able to play the 4, a ton of what Draymond brings defensively is already replaced…and oh yea, James wiseman
Who’s OVER-qualified for a Draymond role but worst case scenario can do all that in his sleep
2. Poole is now the 2nd facilitator
3. The leadership part is overblown. You can sign leadership and he doesn’t need to be a starter, hell he doesn’t even need to play, let alone make 100+ million at age 33.
People really forget Draymond’s role when KD was there. He wasn’t doin shyt
Bc they didn’t need him. They had enough talent tonwhere the dirty work and little things were minimized. They don’t have a KD but they are now talented af to the point they could be BETTER with Draymond gone. You can now get Kuminga minutes at the 4 and again let Wiseman go. This is a perfect excuse to get rid of Draymond and not have to worry about sentimental pushback. Perfect storm for GS
