In this scenario of trading away Draymond who disrespected KD and Poole, how many Chips would Steph have alongside KD and LaMelo over total draft bust Wiseman? Draymond would be traded after the 2019 Finals in order to retain Durant.

KD would have left for other reasons besides Green.

Lamely got hurt this year.
Klay would still be gone du to 2nd apron because
KD, Curry, Klay Poole I don't think have a championship defense.

Remember Haliburton is player GS was high on.

KD and Curry would still be enough to contend for 3 yrs past this one But East is stacked.

I say 2 chips

Lemelo not even playing

They probably wouldn't have the 2nd pick if kd stayed.
Say they trade draymond right after the kd incident for like a quality 4. Since green doesn't get traded for nothing lol

Halfway through 2018-19 season bc at that point he would've gotten something decent
It would be like say sabonis who was ranked like 10-8th best pf in 2019 whike green was at 4

Kd doesn't get injured in the 1st round.m (butterfly effect)

Curry klay kd sabonis looney going forward
Theoretically they can win every one ( assuming health best case scenario due to butterfly effect as they won't be in the same positions when injured)

2019 would be in the bag, so would the 2020 Mickey ring as curry doesn't get injured. Klay doesn't get that freak accident with Danny green in the 2019 finals so he ages better than this reality

2021 also curry and kd were the top 3 players with Gianni's that year. Kd almost single handily beat the champs and curry was on a statistical tear that year.

2022 warriors won with curry and Wiggins so I'm sure with kd instead it would be the same.
2023 and 2024 looking at the competition they have a pretty good shot too.

That's assuming kd doesn't leave.

We should thank draymond for being an ahole, management and Kerrs lack of moral backbone, and kds insecurities for potentially destroying probably the best dynasty in the history of modern nba. And making the finals boring.

The chances of them getting the second pick if KD stayed are almost zero.


And Lamelo sucks.

They'd still have the same 4 wins but I'd say one of 2020, 2021 or 2023 would've also been a Win for them

Still better than anything Wiseman ever did in the NBA lol.

Assuming they did get rid of Draymond, both Klay (ACL) and Durant (achilles) will not play due to injuries and Curry broke his hand the following season….they would probably end up with Anthony Edwards since that big 4 were all out.

With Klay having an achilles ending the very next season, it won’t hinder anyone’s development.

You do realize when he plays he's one of the best pg's in the league right? Check those stats my guy.

He just can't stay healthy. Melo is a flashy Haliburton.

Melo sucks. Now if it were Haliburton that team might have won 3.

Goes to show how big of an impact drafting has.

If they took LaMelo over Wiseman

If they took Wagner over Kuminga

If they took Sengun over Moody

They'd be in their new dynasty already

Something about them Melos

same question comes up for the pistons if they drafted Carmelo..still won a chip atleast

If you don't know basketball just say it bro.

lol this is the lamest troll thread I’ve seen in a while

LaMelo dismantled the Celtics by himself when he was healthy this season, lol @ brain dead “he sucks” salty posters in here

big difference between dealing with injuries and sucking. Nobody said Zion sucked or Embiid sucks. room temp IQ watch in this thread in general though

It never was an option

doesn't matter how talented he is. he's trash, can never stay healthy and isn't an intelligent person. no team with him is ever winning anything.
