Obviously they were able to afford bringing in Durant because of the big cap increase. At some point the rest of that team is going to want to get paid too.

well thompson and green are on contract for a while

iggy is making like $15M per and he's coming off the books shortly. bogut was making about that much and he's gone

next year steph and KD split the increase in the cap or it can get a bit fuzzy. i seriously doubt KD and curry will make a mess of it b/c KD knows what he's getting into

the biggest issue is going to be the starting 5 and how they fill their bench

Also, imagine the pick and roll/fade with KD and Steph/Klay.

At this point people are just grasping at straws trying to find a weakness, or fabricate a reason why this team won't work.

They have by far the best 1-4 players of any team in the nba. So their 5-9 players are going to be their downfall? Which team has a bench that will overcome the Warriors starting 5?

The Warriors still have barbosa, livingston and iguodala. They can afford to lose one of those guys if necessary.

Barnes sucks and isn't a loss. Bogut is a rim protector but he looked a lot better than he really is because he was playing in a great system. Even speights and azeli performed well in the Warriors system. I'm sure they can find a solid athletic big man to fill bogut's place if need be.

Adding durant to this team is pretty much unfair. I could be in their starting 5 and they would still win the title.
