I know Jaxson Hayes got the hook in the first half, for letting his man beat him down the court.Knightro wrote:pepe1991 wrote:Where to play Zion? He cloggs the paint, he is too short for center.
If they can't find a stretch 5 to pair with him, I'd just play Zion at center and deal with the consequences defensively.
But considering they just gave Adams a 2-year extension, seems like Stan is intent on making it work with a double big lineup.
If I was their GM, my main priority would be figuring out a way to replace Bledsoe with a more capable shooter at PG.

1) Warriors will lose playoffs, WIggins will be called star for last time in his career

Warriors won 73 games without him. without Durant, they may easily have had another person to help push them to a title. not a guarantee they would have only won 1 championship.

One of the bigger “what if’s” around is what happens if Durant chooses to not sign with Golden State in the summer of 2016.
If he doesn’t sign there, the LeBron/Kyrie Cavs likely win the title again in 2017 which sets off a massive chain reaction because they almost certainly aren’t trading Irving away coming off back-to-back title wins.
Boston probably is forced to pursue Paul George, Kawhi Leonard and Anthony Davis more aggressively since they wouldn’t have gotten Irving.
The Harden/Paul Rockets or the Durant/Westbrook Thunder could have toppled the Warriors and perhaps won in a ring in 2017 or 2018, but if they weren’t able to and the LeBron/Kyrie Cavs were to 3 peat in 2018, LeBron almost certainly doesn’t leave for LA coming off three title wins in a row.
That means Davis doesn’t go to LA either.
A lot of things are way way different.

Won 73 games as that was their only goal when they reached 60.
They even admited later that chasing Bulls record burned them.
Than survived WCF due lack of suspension of Green nut-shot on Adams, incident he repeated in finals, and got suspended, and that's how they lost finals.
So, thier "73 wins" should have been end of a road in WCF, if NBA kept same standards for all players/ teams. But ofc they don't.
ONLY championship Klay-Green and Curry won is one where Kevin Love AND Kyrie Irving got hurt. Despite having all adventages in the world, they still struggled to beat team that was starting Matthew Dellavedova, Tristan Thompson and Iman Shumpert .
They also struggled to even pass Memphis, who did not even have Conley for game 1 and who almost lost eye in that nasty injury ( 2015).
Without Durant they were great team, but Curry would have been 1 time nba champion without him.

Every person who understands basketball knew back in 2017 that Wiggins is bum.
But most of casual fans don't understand basketball. They can't separate empty stats from impact.
You forgot to wrote LETS GOOOO
Ofc his trade scenarios would now make us: Fultz ( no jumpshot) - WIggins ( no brain) - Oubre ( no brain) - Gordon ( meh) - Birch ()
Capped out with worst spacing in basketball.
