    Philly shits themselves, Kerr throws himself on the ground and goes all out in a tantrum...and Neil gets a colletive slap in the fucking face by the fans, and is immediately placed in the dog house.

    OK--based on both yours and Bones' responses, I guess I'm overvaluing Noel's defense and Klay's two-way abilities. Got it.

    I agree Klay has become marginalized. He went from #2 to almost #4 behind Green...he can't be to happy...if Neil could just trick the warriors into giving him to us for nothing.

    They played well in their last two games. It's not going to be an easy game. Turner better show the hell up...we need to have a healthy dose of attacking the basket, and to shoot a decent percentage from the three...thing is we can't let it become a three point contest. The defense is going to have show up tonight. I sense a very physical game....shit is gonna go down...there is gonna be some T' s tonight...maybe a couple mini brawl moments....we need to stay composed out there, use that emotion for good, and not let it or the refs take us out of this game.

    Basically CJ and Crabbe for Klay?

    No thanks...

    Klay=Overrated in my book. just on a great team with great teammates and a great coach.

    There's no way I'd give up both Crabbe and CJ to get Thompson. Plus, I don't see us trading CJ at all.

    We have to find a way to guard Durant. Aminu, Harkless, and Turner really have to be on their A game defensively.

    Other than that, Dame and CJ need to attack the paint relentlessly, rack up fouls. Don't get into a shooting contest with the splash bros unless we are absolutely on fire.

    I don't know that he is overated, but he doesn't give us anything that CJ doesn't already, and to give up Crabbe to for him...nah man, nah

    Was just typing about how CJ and Crabbe for Klay is a joke because he's a system player almost as much as Barnes. Klay is better than Barnes, but he's not a star like Curry/Durant imo.

    To the talk about trading CJ, id only do it if it netted us Klay without having to give up anyone else of major worth (maybe throw in Meyers to match salaries),

    Klay is a better player than CJ, not by leaps and bounds but the difference is made defensively.

    Are you kidding me? Klay is one of the best defenders in the league at his position, and is arguably a superior shooter from all areas of the floor as well.

    The only problem with Klay is he can't run an offense like CJ, we'd be getting superior shooting and defense but we'd be losing a player who can set up an offense. We'd need to either get a true back up PG or pray Napier can play 15-18 minutes a night and not fuck it up.

    I was just about to post that as another theoretical benefit. I hate CJ at PG. Napier as backup PG (for only 12 mpg, IMO) with Thompson alongside the rest of the second unit would be a massive improvement over the CJ/Crabbe/Turner lineup we're currently seeing.

    First off, Noel is injury prone with no offensive game. He's a role player. So is Crabbe. Golden State isn't gonna trade Klay for two role players.

    Portland also isn't going to trade a borderline all-star who's only 25 and a good 6th man who's only 24 for that asshole. Klay is overrated, and wouldn't do as well offensively here.

    You're grossly overrating his D.
