    Their D is not what it used to be. Detroit short handed tonight made them look bad.

    If I was LBJ I would ASK to be traded.

    Joe Ingles scored more 3's than the entire Warriors team.



    Terrible D by Durant for some shots.

    Shit, if I was LeBron I'd demand to go to New York. Get NYK to ship back Noah, Thomas, Ntilikina, and three 1sts. Kanter opts out, they trade Lee, and then theres a ton of cap space. Then Id get Chris Paul, Melo, and Wade to sign in the offseason.

    Paul
    Hardaway / Wade
    LeBron / Melo
    Porzingas / Melo
    O'Quinn / Hernangomez

    That's a legit lineup.

    That would be awesome being that I'm a New Yorker. This town would LOVE to have LeBron on their side. The Garden would go nuts. Unfortunately for me, they'd be such a tough ticket that I'd never get free tix but I would totally get a NY LeBron jersey. They'd win it all. It would be cool. Unless Portland reaches Finals, then it's RIP CITY for me!

    That's what my sources are saying. Who would go out in the deal? Klay and Dray?

    Didn't Durant take less money to play for the Warriors?

    Curry/Young/Durant/Davis/Bell is an improvement

    This is pure nonsense, they are not going to trade any of Curry, Durant and Green, and trading Klay will not be enough to get Davis.

    I wonder if they can get Davis without trading any of their big 4. Package a bunch of picks and expiring contracts. After all, it only took Buddy Hield to land Cousins.

    Curry/Klay/Durant/Green/Davis is a pretty good team.

    Is it? No way is Nick Young even on the same planet as Klay Thompson (in spite of what Swaggy P may think).

    While Davis is better on paper than Green, Green is DPOY and is the engine that makes GSW go. Remove him and you force Steph Curry back into the tradition PG role. He's not bad at it, but he's way better when he can spend significant time playing off the ball, and running the offense through him full time leads to fatigue and injuries.

    Plus Davis isn't as durable as Green.
