    Really? You wonder the Warriors offer of multiple 30th overall picks can compete against other offers? C'mon now.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I don't think they'd move any of their core four if money were no object. Davis is the best player, but Green and Thompson combined is more total on-court value. The allure would be to reduce four mega-max contracts to three while not losing as much as simply letting Klay Thompson walk. I think they would get worse trading for Davis--the salary reduction would be the reason to do it.

    So you quote an article that quotes another source who say the Warriors will consider the potential of Anthony Davis being available this summer. NJ.com is not a reliable source.

    But if you want to use them as a valid source, might as well start a "CJ McCollum to the 76ers?" thread.

    I am moving this thread to the around the NBA. Seeing as we're talking about off-season and rumors, it much more belongs there.

    If it were an actual trade happening, then sure. But this can be discussed there.

    PER is heavily influenced by shot attempts (even inefficient ones) so volume shooters tend to have an edge in PER. That's why PER has largely fallen out of favor among advanced stats. Thompson's shot attempts are suppressed by playing alongside two of the greatest offensive forces in NBA history (and, more generally, by the Warriors' share-the-ball-and-shots ethos).

    Plus, of course, defense (outside steals and blocks, which is a tiny slice) isn't really accounted for in PER.

    I have a slightly different take than Minstrel... Klay is probably the streakiest shooter in NBA history. On most teams, those icy cold spells would garner a lot of negative attention. But on a loaded team like GS, they keep winning when he's off, so it tends to get overlooked. The stats still capture some of it, though.

    That's not saying much. There aren't many great shooting guards in the league right now.
