Also, regarding Klay Thompson, he doesn't need the ball to be effective which is what makes him so unique. I dont see him being an odd man out at all. They can be creative with minutes now with 3 legit scorers,

They look like the closest thing we've seen in sports to the late 90s Yankees who absolutely took it to baseball. Barring injuries no other team matches up

Also, Windhorst reported today the salary cap isn't projected to grow next season like they anticipated. Right now it looks to be 5 million less. He specifically called out GSW and the trouble they may have with it with Durant, Curry, and Iguodala all free agents next year.

sleeper;1802712 wrote:The more I think about it, the less I worry about the Warriors. They are basically shedding any depth and chemistry to add Durant.

Thompson will likely be the biggest drop off in production and I can't see the Warriors having a starting 5 of Curry, Klay, Durant, Green, and Zaza? West is trash, Zaza is trash, Iggy is 1 year older;

sportswizuhrd;1802794 wrote:Zaza isn't that bad and just like with Bogut he may only get 20 minutes a game.

Like I posted 4 pages ago...

'15-'16 season...
Zaza - 8.6 and 9.4 in 26.4 MPG
Tristan - 7.8 and 9.0 in 27.7 MPG

There is a reason why Zach Lowe said:

"I have gotten almost as many angry texts/etc from team execs about GSW getting Zaza for nothing as I did re:GSW signing KD."

Ironman92;1802749 wrote:Please tell me you don't mean each of the 4 stars average 20 but rather that Curry, Durant, Klay and Draymond combined may average 80 ppg.

Curry 25
Durant 24
Klay 17
Draymond 14

Classyposter58;1802884 wrote:Yes lol that is what I mean. Also though if some of you noticed throughout the year when Klay was hot Steph would step back and let him rack it up. Curry is a true PG who can score lights out, with Durant I can see him absolutely stepping back and racking up the assists. Remember this is a team who really believes in that Strength in Numbers motto, they are all about sharing the basketball
