    You wait 4 years when Nurkic is averaging 24/12/5/2 looking like a monstar that stole his powers from a young sabonis. Also adding a clyde drexler esque dominant 2 way wing would go a long way.

    Watch Paul George, LeBron James, Jimmy Butler all go to LA. I'm sure James will also get Wade to join. CP3?

    No one is going to beat them at their game. So do the complete opposite: get really big and try to force them into 90's era ball

    KD said he'd take a pay cut next contract if they're winning rings to keep the squad together. Once you've won a ring it becomes easier to take a pay cut knowing the team can win it all. Our best hope is the warriors blow this 3-0 lead and KD leaves haha

    Klay Thompson is most likely to jam out to be a star on his own.

    Trade up to/Draft Isaac and Z Collins and Bell and go big to counter them. (My dream draft)

    They can't match a big front line and Dame/ CJ. They would have to foul because I think they would struggle to guard bigs who can shoot/post up and still help out on our guards and wings. Getting to the free throw line could slow them down or put them in foul trouble.

    Goad Draymond into kicking you in the nuts. Take one for the team.

    Do you think that would work? With guys like Green, Durant, and Iggy who can play much bigger than their listed height, they're tough to overpower with size. And if you don't gain a marked advantage at that end, you'll suffer mightily chasing them on the perimeter at the other end.

    I have no idea. I just know trying to beat them at their own game won't work.

    Score 49 in the first quarter and hit 24 threes. If the Cavs can do that three more times, they're good.

    Never Underestimate the Heart of a Champion.

    He said winning is so much fun and I suppose he has the best chance of winning more rings if he stays+his contract is very good for the Warriors.

    Right, all the Cavs have to do is have four consecutive record breaking performances and they have a chance. Channel your inner Lloyd Christmas much?

    Don't forget, the Warriors are also champions. Don't underestimate their heart (of their superior talent) either.

    The only person who knows how to beat them is the Nurk. He holds the keys.
