Ezeli and Barnes suck.

theyre thin as heck dont even have a starting center* but i suspect theyll be able to fill it out w ring hungry vets

Adding Durant will necessitate smallball because iguodala deserves minutes
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 4 July 2016 20:43 (seven years ago) link
They could trade iguodala for a center, that would be funny
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 4 July 2016 20:44 (seven years ago) link
until someone tells me otherwise we still have iggy and shaun

i hope the 7'6 guy makes the roster that would be a trip
They should take a look at gustavo Ayon

warriors should just stagger the shit outta their guys but play them together like 10 mins a game and run people outta the building during those minutes

thing abt smallball is it puts too many miles on undersized bodies, thats why kd/dray play so many fewer minutes there during the regular season then really break out the fast lineups only once the playoffs start getting tight

Iggy and liv staying. Iggy was a part of the recruitment

But paying 3 mill more a year for KD vs Barnes is prettttty cool
― moistest hoist (Spottie), Monday, 4 July 2016 21:21 (seven years ago) link
not a terrible deal tbh
― lag∞n, Monday, 4 July 2016 21:24 (seven years ago) link
mostly I am baffled by all this and yet ecstatic that kd absolutely destroyed the fourth of july for a generation of thunder fans
― Clay, Monday, 4 July 2016 21:25 (seven years ago) link
all the bandwagon okc fans are like "i have ALWAYS been a huge fan of the warriors as well as the (team westbrook goes to)"

oh stop

durant leaving okc for a team that they had 3 chances to eliminate is such a trash move

brimstead cmon dude just u wait
dubs can't help themselves with that shit

wanting a 73 win team to get another all star is a more interesting opinion ur right

Feel like they were sufficiently humbled a couple weeks back
― moistest hoist (Spottie), Monday, 4 July 2016 23:43 (seven years ago) link
about half of the reason i'm happy this happened is because i know it'll offend so many delicate first-take-informed sensibilities of casual fans

Warriors could beat this year's Olympic team (tho Klay would have a pretty busy day guarding himself)

zaza is 32 and will probably regress
― k3vin k., Tuesday, 5 July 2016 00:20 (seven years ago) link
He's also v bad at defense and Rim protection which is really all they need from a center

Otoh both of his arms work
