Dunno how much he'll have left in year 19, but he rebounds and passes well, has a 3, hits his FTs and just plays the game the right way. Smart dude, makes hustle plays and all that. Excellent addition whenever he'll be on the court. I worry a little about his health. He hasn't played 70 games since 2018 and he's missed 19, 17 and 22 games the past 3 seasons, two of which were under 30 mpg. So availability is at least something of an issue. And Butler is also going to have major availability issues.
It'll be faintly miraculous if they put together a healthy postseason run, though if they do, it would be outstanding. But Steph's older, has his own health issues and other struggles. This should be a fun team, just probably not a real contender unless the stars align in a very particular manner.
Awesome signing, though. Even at 60 games, he's about as good as you're going to get to fill that kind of role. If you going in expecting like 9/8 from him on quality percentages, then that's probably a good bet. Excellent connecting player, and sort of the archetype for the good vet big.
You are all being way too kind to my Warriors. Father time undefeated. Take the under on the win total.
true! Silly them!
