What's to enjoy? I mean, Golden State weren't exactly deep last year (particularly in the frontcourt) but it didn't have me switching channels because I don't care who's sitting on the bench.
In theory, we have some nice options. Each guy offers a unique skillset. Plumlee - passing Leonard - shooting Ezeli - rim protection Davis - efficient post scoring and rebounding Vonleh - defense If we could hold onto them all and use them situationally, that would be great, but there's simply not enough minutes to go around, so which ones do you place the highest value on?
I like Davis because he'd be a good starter, but he's even better getting to go against 2nd units. He really brings great energy to the team while in the game. Seems like a classy fellow, too. I've been a fan for quite a while, even before he signed with us. It's a brilliant signing, IMO.
We only cut Cliff and Kaman who didn't play. We basically added 2 rotational big men as Aminu will be slid over to the 4 and we added Ezeli. We will also get Leonard back who we didn't have for half of the year last year. So that's adding 2 or 3 players to the frontcourt rotation depending on how you look at it.
Wow, thats underating Dave Navarro quite a bit. Jimi was Jimi, there's no doubt, but you ever watch live clips? He was sloppy as hell(Like Many of the classic rock musicians, like LedZeP) Jimi, far more creative for sure, but Dave is a top ten Guitar player in RocknRoll. The Albulm he joined up with RHCP is way underrated in my book. "One Hot Minute" Both Janes Addictions' "Nothing Shocking" and "Ritual De Lo Habitual" are classics.
Lol, Not saying he was the most technically talented, but yes. Look at what all he has done, the different styles and he is up there, but I wold like to change that to top 20. Stevie Ray Vaughn Van Halen Randy Rhodes Jimi Hendrix Jimmy Page Keith Richards Slash BB King Jeff Beck Tony Iomi Steve Vai Santana Townsend Satriani Les Paul Dave Navarro George Harrison etc. Thats how I would list them in aprox order without thinking much about it.
I think Eric Clapton, Bo Diddley, Frank Zappa, Johnny Ramone, Alex Lifeson, David Gilmour, Chet Atkins,Duane Allman, Lindsey Buckingham, Robert Fripp, Jerry Garcia, Chuck Berry, Eric Johnson, Joe Walsh Brian May, Mark Knophler, Ritchie Blackmore, Joe Satriani, Les Paul, Dick Dale, Gary Hoey, Billy GibbonsNeil Young, hell, even Prince and Brian Setzer Are all EASILY better than Navarro. And I am sure I am missing someone obvious.
I forgot about Alex Lifeson. Top ten for sure. Buckingham? MMM 20-30. Jerry Garcia... too one dimensional, though great at what he did. No way Prince and Young are better though...* WARNING opinions may very*
Joe Pass, Tal Farlow, Wes Montgomery, Andre Segovia, Jim Hall, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Freddie King, Albert King, Rory Gallagher, Martin Barre, Paco de Lucia, Jeff Beck, Jimmie Page, Buddy Guy, Eddie Hazel, Stephen Stills, Dave Mason, Walter Becker, Skunk Baxter, Gary Moore, Tom Johnson...man this could turn out to be a book
