    If the Warriors lose Durant for the playoffs then sign me up for the 8th seed please. Warriors will still be a good team, but I definitely think we are deep enough and lengthy enough that we could beat them.

    Nope, he's out.

    Matt Barnes to sign with Warriors in wake of Kevin Durant injury

    A firm injury diagnosis on Kevin Durant is not expected before Wednesday, but the Golden State Warriors have already lined up Matt Barnes to step in as a potential Durant fill-in, the veteran swingman confirmed to ESPN.

    Sources told ESPN that the Warriors, in the wake of the hyperextended left knee Durant suffered Tuesday night at Washington, quickly reached out to Barnes and made arrangements to sign him later this week.

    That would change the dynamics of NBA significantly. He's been their best player this season and they would not even be back to the quality from last season, they'd be worse because Barnes is better than their back up small forwards. Iguodala would probably jump into starting five and Barnes would get 20-25 minutes a game and Barnes is not great. Their bench is also weaker than last year when it had Rush and Barbosa.

    Class move by the Warriors. They promised Calderon they'd sign him, so they are still signing him, giving him his money, then releasing him. They didn't have to do that.

    Apparently there's also an MCL sprain in there.

    Warriors get lucky

    So, whom should Calderon sue? Markieff Morris?

    Oden II. Sad.

    Odds on Simmons and Embiid ever playing in the same game?
