But I have lost any hope they will trade Draymond.
Did ya'll miss Draymond's relentless defensive effort down the stretch that gave us a chance to win? Jimmy isn't doing that, maybe he could give some of it, but we need Jimmy expending his effort on offense. Dray doesn't have that responsibility and thus is able to go all out on the defensive end. We need Draymond. I just wish he was big enough to comfortably guard every center in the league.
Draymond is a modern day Rodman in that you may not like his personality, but his on court contributions still comfortably outweigh any irritation his antics might cause.
Wow, Draymond played hard for a few minutes down the stretch against a team with 1 1/2 scorers!
What about his up and down play, blown layups and the fact that opposing teams just dare him to score?
He went for 13/5/5/3/2 on 5-10 shooting and 3-3 from the line. A classic Draymond stat-stuffing line. He's doing everything we need him to do. He's not chucking up bad shots. He's our best defender.
I know you hate his personality. But he's not the problem and he's obviously not the problem.
This team's only real problem is the lack of a two-way guard. Which is why Kerr starts Buddy still, because if he can't get defense from the guard position, he can hope Buddy will get hot and give him more offense than he gives away on defense.
Nonetheless, at this point, I think Kerr should start GP2 because he gives less offense away than Buddy gives away on defense.
