How are they flipping a 30 million dollar D'Lo?

That contract is insane.

And DLo is just as bad if not worse than Steph on defense.

Theyll just have to outscore teams.




Defensively they’re losing igoudala, Durant, Thompson for most of the year, and possibly looney.

Why is he a bad fit?

He's basically off brand Steph at this point. Still a lot of upside though.

Well said. Green and Thompson aren't all-NBA defensive players or anything.

I don't deny that.

I don't think that'd be an easy contract to move. Maybe I'll be proven wrong.

Well speaking of this year, Klay won't be playing most of it and one all-defensive player surrounded by minus defenders makes for a shite defense.

Oh did Klay Thompson's acl heal or did I just imagine he injured it in the first place?

The warriors will be in the bottom half of the league on defense, easily.

Don’t think anyone is saying they’re a title contender this year minus Klay

They are a very small team now though. Rebounding will be a huge issue for them in the future if they roll out a steph, Klay, dlo, Draymond, ++ vet min guy.

Not only tht. Whenever that team is actually all healthy, in 2020, those 4 players will have a combined salary around 140 million

i mean, they obviously plan on jacking up a bunch of 3's and and weather the storm of klay's absence by trying to outscore teams, their own defense be damned.

u can already hear draymond seething as he sees his team defense going down the gutter.

and GSW still has big issues with their lack of a bench bc quinn cook and the mckinney kid ain't gonna cut it.

Back to my original take... why the frick did the Nets agree to this.

Did they receive anything in return?
