    But he wasn't afraid to let it fly when he had an open shot within the offense. The first game he would get the ball, have plenty of space to get off an open shot, but just stand there and hold the ball and let the defense recover to everyone killing our offensive flow.

    He killed our momentum on both ends.

    Pressey has been pretty bad so far. Frazier is in the lead there

    McCollum creates space with so much ease. He has a hesitation to his game that makes defenders uncomfortable, ala Roy.

    Connaughton is a smart rebounder.

    Aminu has crazy length. Clearly bothered belinelli.

    Vonleh and Davis hustle their ass off. Vonleh has the skills but his finishing is still a work in progress. Wish they would run more plays for him.

    No post scoring is going to hurt.

    Warriors just won a championship without it. I would agree in years past but it's a different time.

    I've seen enough to see we have 0 use for Henderson. Harkless, Crabbe, and Patty need legit PT. Package Gerald with Kaman to get another pick or two.

    Yeah, Vonleh's moves are still a bit robotic. He's a fluid athlete though, and looks like he could be a load in the post, but also with the ability to face up and give problems to different types of defenders. So he's got the tools, it's just a matter of him putting it all together.

    Having a major threat in the post helps everybody. Forcing the opposing team to sag down or double team opens up the whole other side of the floor, for not only Dame to penetrate, but for our 3 point shooters to get quality looks. LA will be missed, hate him or not.

    Then buyout the big contract, and cut Pressey.

    (they throw in a pick as well.)

    Yep, we should trade him before he wins us a few games and kills our draft positioning.

    You know WHY it worked for the Warriors though right? You weren't going to just post this reply and walk away thinking you wouldn't get called out for it?

    Maybe it's my homer glasses too, but CJ is too good to keep on the bench. It looks like Crabbe can provide some offense on the bench anyway.

    The Dubs have arguably two of the best perimeter payers in the ENTIRE NBA! And they don't completely lack a post presence. Bogut has enough back to the basket skills to keep other teams honest.

    I don't want to get rid of Kaman. I think he is a savvy center and a great guy to have around all these young developing bigs.

    I agree, it wouldn't be easy to let him go but if he brings back a 1st rounder, we do it.

    Gotta disagree there HCP. They have zero post presence, just the best perimeter duo of all time possibly and some (As much as I hate Green) dope ass defensive wings.

    Their frontcourt is:

    Green / Speights
    Bogut / Ezeli

    Defensively elite but offensively jack shit.

    I want to see how Henderson looks in the system and in my opinion there isn't any reason to make a move. I also think we are good with CJ/Frazier/Dame, and if not then you keep Pressey. This group has a bright future and I wouldn't want to mess with it until I was sure of what I had, which involves putting Henderson in the lineup.

    I think Bradley fits what this team needs more than Hendo.

    Dame/CJ/Bradley... now that's one hell of a trio.

    ML you got 1 rebound and there was two bench had double rebound. Your 7'1' at least get on defense board. I am still not sold on him yet.
