If we were trying to go big in Boston, I'd like to try to convince NO to blow it up and trade AD. The money would be harder to come by in that one of course, but he would solve a lot of problems at one. I'm dreaming, I know but it's a fun dream to have.
Hmmm....I'm not sure this would be a good deal for the Warriors. Klay is already a proven player- that continues to improve every season. They would be giving that up for basically "potential" in the guys you mentioned? If it were my choice I would say no deal.
I hear ya...but I still say no-go for the same reasons I said they shouldn't have given up Klay for Love. If you trade Klay then you're only left with Curry & KD as the offensive weapons- and you give up arguably the best 2-guard in the league. The only time you settle for less on the trade is when you're forced to.
GS bench? I think it has more to do with chemistry. The majority of the guys that left were from that 2nd unit- so naturally it will take a minute for Kerr to find a good line-up that isn't too much of a drop-off from the starters. With the luxury of being able to always have an offensive weapon on the floor it should work out by mid-season or so.
I didn't know their bench was the highest scoring- interesting stat. I have watched their games and Luke got them playing with a load of confidence. It's fun to watch them. Most importantly I want to know what he did to get Swaggy P to respond the way he has thus far.
Fair enough...but I don't think either of them play extremely well on both ends of the court- which is what Klay does. So since Klay isn't asking for a trade then no need for a fire sale.
