It's simple. You just don't trade away your rock, your cornerstone. You don't trade away a future starter. You don't trade away a future All-Star. You don't even think about letting go of a future Hall of Famer. There are only a chosen few who become NBA legends. Mr. Untouchable is so named because he's soon to lead the Warriors to multiple championships. Steph Curry? He's just kid's stuff, child's play, an imposter.
Mr. Untouchable is the real deal. And he's soon to lead the Warriors to a dynasty only Curry could dream about.
Sure, you can argue he's had a few rough patches along the way. OK. But have no fear, Steve Kerr has a master plan already in place and knows the steps necessary to assure the Podz dynasty stays on track. Concerned? Have no worries. That 38.3% shooting from the field this season? That 23.8% 3-point shooting? Just close your eyes and unsee it. Those wide open 3s he gives up because he constantly ball watches and hangs out in the paint to draw charges and get rebounds? Please realize it's NOT stat-padding and instead is all about helping the team win those close games in the 4th quarter. Coach Kerr has already tried to educate the uneducated and told you first hand that Podz is going to play -- lots and lots of minutes -- because he does so many things to help the team win. So, please, don't worry if he's on a usual run of poor shooting and poor defense, or fouling 3-point shooters at crucial moments. Coach Kerr knows the answer is just to give the future legend more minutes.
So, just stop it. Take him off the table. Mr. Untouchable is here to stay. For decades and generations to come. Just grab your popcorn and watch it all unfold -- and stop complaining.
