Even superteams have their flaws, as we've seen over the years. It'll be interesting to see if their transcendence as individuals is just that far ahead of whatever chemistry issues they're bound to encounter, or if some other team ends up being the perfect foil.

And yeah, villains are always fun to root for/against

I agree with a lot of this. Problem is WHO is gonna challenge them come playoff time ???? That's all that really matters right. I wish KD would have went to the Celts though. I can see why he went to Golden ST. He wants s title and St. Is closer to that then OKC.

Speights?


Probably so.

Right now the Warriors have guys who have played the following MPG in 2015-2016 on their roster:

35.8 - Durant
34.7 - Green
34.2 - Curry
33.3 - Klay
26.6 - Iggy
26.4 - Zaza
19.5 - Shaun Livingston
18.0 - David West
228.5 minutes tied up in 8 players.

The NBA 2K16 part of me can't wait to see how they manage these roles.

reaction on here. Who wouldn't trade Barbosa, Ezeli, Barnes, and Bogut for Durant? This is the no brainerest of no brainers that ever no brained.



It's grasping at straws, or some people trying to convince themselves why this team will be anything but awesome.

Durant won't get 30 shots a game. But he will get 20. If he and Steph get 20 a piece and give Klay 15...they will learn to play together.

Only a matter of time. Only question come playoff time should be efficiency.

I think they won't have any trouble until the Finals. TT dominated the boards and Steph still cant guard Kyrie.

Two weeks ago people wouldnt trade a used up napkin for Barnes and Ezieli. Now all of a sudden trading them for Durant will torpedo their team

This either takes more attention off Curry or off Durant. Either way is scary for the league. The David West signing shows they will have no issues signing replacements for the depth that they lost

Oh and i love how they wont win because Tristan Thompson first stage is denial i guess

Too bad they got better on the boards then huh? And replaced Barnes anemic output with a former MVP and scoring title holder that has a career 48% FG% on high volume.

the only case you have going is for defense. that's it.
but when you factor in that bogut would've been a year older and coming off an injury, and same for ezeli it's a ridiculous argument to make.

kevin durant of the playoffs seemed just fine as a rim protector to me.
and he will be taking the most wide open shots of his NBA career.

even having a DECENT 3 point shooter in place of harrison barnes would've been a MAJOR upgrade. what they got is the second best shooting small forward of all time, that comes packaged in the height and length of a center.

if you wanted to argue that they might not have a better record fine. anything else is just silly.

This is why they'll be better offensively...

The team that took them to 7 games in the WCF will be MUCH worse too...so maybe its subtraction by addition.
