I hoped Draymond recovered his three point shot two years ago. Didn’t happen.

Which contracts can we absorb straight in the TPE ?
Fournier?
Redick?
Eric Gordon?
Oubre?
Any other?

Avery Bradley or similar player can be signed with the MLE (if willing to accept the $).

i like eric gordon the least. id also look at terrance ross, normal powell, george hill and bjelica. bjelica isnt a wing but we need his shooting.

People are way overreacting to this injury...roster not set yet and the NBA sucks more than when we were making our run...get Erick Gordon, Bazemore, Josh Jackson, and RHJ and we're set...

Championship window likely closed with the Klay torn Achilles diagnosis.

Only 2 options I see now:

Either blow it up and rebuild....or go all-in to try to get Harden/Beal to make another run with Steph.

Yeah the key is for Dray to get back to a respectable 3 pt percentage. At least get it back to 33/34 percent. It was always a concern drafting a center as I always envisioned Draymond as the 5 in crunch time. So imo no point in having a high price center on the bench in crunch time if we want to play draymond at the 5 during that time. So if Wiseman can develop a decent perimeter shot, we may be ok.

There are no shooters available at the mle level and doubtful for the tpe. We really need to take a shot at an I drafted shooter

disgusted...don't even know what to say.

feel really bad for Klay more than anything, only consolation here is that he already got his contract.

not sure where we go from here to be honest, Steph/Klay were gonna carry this team this year, but now it's just Steph and no one.

Let's not start that, he didn't do anything wrong.

He’ll never be the same player again given his age and these 2 injuries happening back-to-back.

Feel bad for him. Good for him that he secured that massive 5 year deal before these injuries. Him and his family are set for life....unfortunately that contract will completely strangle the Warriors ability to get better though.

Time to get Eric Gordon over here via TPE. No excuses.

I beg to differ.
