Post Trade Deadline Power Rankings

[trojanfan12]

The Warriors are on a roll. They seem to have figured something out. Figured out how to get something out of Kuminga

Klay finally seeming to hit his stride helps too.

Oh yeah. This is Montalban. @trojanfan12

A number of things have evolved since the start of the year to make them intriguing (but probably too big a hole to climb out of this playoffs):

Draymond stopped getting ejected/suspended...but not until he'd done a ton of damage to their record...he's a big reason why they aren't like a 5-6 seed.

Klay went from sulking and not dealing with his aging to accepting his new role and different skillset...he is thriving again not trying to be young Klay

Emergence of young guys, Kerr can trust Kuminga and Podz and TJD to be winning players and get significant time and even starts

The good news is some of that comes back next year (assuming they can get Klay to take a discount to stay), the young guys and so on. The bad news is CP3 won't be back and he has been terrific as floor general and running the 2nd unit, a big advantage for the Dubs with him and Klay out there vs other team's bench. Maybe Podz will be that next year.

As long as he keeps it clean I have no problem with him trying to sneak back on

All he had to do was not choke out Rudy. If he doesn't do that then I think the nurk play only result in a 1 or 2 game suspesnion

Really don’t care about the Heat. They’re staring at our backs.

Heat win the tiebreaker lol. You need the Heat to lose at some point to finish ahead of them

Yes. At the right time. I love what they are getting out of Jackson-Davis at Center as well. He works hard. I have to say with all the stars the warriors have though, my favorite player to watch is Gary Payton. He does so many little things well, always hustles and is super fan friendly. Genuinely seems like a good guy
