I was told Festus wouldn't receive playing time as a rookie and that was a lie. David West is better than Speights. Zaza is a better rebounder than Bogut. Festus will be missed but I honestly believe he can be replaced by McGee.

ok cool that's Ezeli. You have no idea if a 30th pick is good or not. West was trash last year in a system tailor made for him. I like zaza. Really do. But he faded last year and he isn't the rim protector/defender Bogut is. You lost some strengths to get KD. Deal with it

Fam your big rotation is west green and Za. Don't mention some rookie who won't receive playing time or McGhee. Is he even guaranteed? Not to mention the fact is he sucks and hasn't played a full season since 2012. You lost nearly every big and you want to try to play it off like you got adequate replacements. Stop it
to his point only big that was lost is Bogut. Festus was injured a lot last season. When he came back he was pretty useless

Also you could make a case Barnes hurt them more than helped. Those open looks he was missing KD won't

Barnes went down hill near the end of the year, but for the first half and a little after all the golden state warriors were shooting above 40% on 3's uncontested and contested I believe.

If Speights is so much better than West then why did he have to settle for the league minimum deal? If McGee pans out then we lost nothing.

You nikkas put too much into rim protection as if Zaza, Javale and KD won't be serviceable. they can trade for other bigs on the market if Zaza or Javale don't play out well. 73-9 and were up 3-1 in the finals with bogus being the only true muthafukka in the paint and Harrison. In game 7 Fetus was a bone head and Harrison couldn't make an open shot to save his life. Zaza and KD are both upgrades and if you replaced fetus and Harrison with them, Warriors would have won game 7. They'll be fine in the paint and if it comes to the worst, the trade deadline is far from now for Zaza and Javale. Zaza is much better than fetus and if Javale could stay healthy he's solid as a rim protector. KD and green will still be down low and West could provide some help down low too.

Cleveland didn't have it last season and still don't have it this season. And KD had more blocks than Bron last season.

YEA......And I bet they wish they had more of it...because they had to compensate in many ways for Mozgov not

being as good after injury.

The idea that you are going to constantly live with an all wing defensive scheme is amusing.....

If you mean that you can live with how good your team is defensively on the wing then sure..GSW is a top 5 defensive team and a top 2 offensive team...say that

but dont say rim protection doesnt matter.....after yall told us Bogut being out was a huge problem

yall want it both ways :ufdup:
