I have it looking like this as well. Lee will probably get the nod but moody should take over once he understands the system.

Once Klay is back (to monitor his minutes) I think he will be one of the first to go to the bench with moody giving him the rest. Then back in start of 2nd when Steph gets his rest. Same thing towards 3/4 quarters.

Tough to say - if Klay's on the bench mob (IE - without Steph) he's going to need to exert more than he would with Steph. I can see his minutes being cut, but I dont think we'll see much Klay without Steph until Klay gets back into his usual rhythm. Last thing we need is Klay pressing after being out for 2 years. 19 year olds have unlimited stamina, I say use it / develop them early in the season. Kinda like how we did with Wiseman, except these guys fit and will have a full offseason

It will be interesting to see how long it takes Klay to get his wind back after 2 years. It's gonna be amazing seeing him run around picks again.

Already know what lineup he’s going to use. Everyone knows he going with small ball. All wings, Curry, and Draymond at center.

Kenny is going to be running the offense so there is going to be more PnR and other changes to the lineups ... supposedly.

w/o Klay my guess to start the season is

Curry
Poole
Wiggins
Green
Wiseman

GP2 has partial guarantees: $659K on Aug 11, $1.3M on Oct 17, and the full $1.9M on the non-guarantee deadline Jan 10.

With Iggy returning, we now only have one open roster spot. It's up for grabs between GP2, Mannion and Mulder. I'd give the nod to GP2 due to his defense. Mannion gets a two way contract. Mulder's out. However, the team might also simply not fill the spot and leave it open to fill with a buyout candidate.

Curry/Poole/Mannion/GP
Wiggins/Mulder/Moody/Lee
Klay/Otto/Iggy
Dray/Kuminga/Toscano
Looney/Wiseman/Bjelica

GSW keeping adding players. I wonder if the Simmons trade is imminent...

I can't decide if I want to sign another center. Bjelica is going to be a center for us but can he be counted on to grab defensive boards? He's never been some sort of athletic physical specimen that can hunt rebounds, not even close.

Well, they can carry 20 until opening day, so there's no rush to make decisions.

Maybe. Adding all this 2/3/4 guys might probably mean that Wiggins is a goner sooner than later.

I would throw Lee into the mix. Mannion is guaranteed a 2-way unless another team makes him an offer. Then the Warriors will have a decision to make. Unless they move more players, training camp should decide who gets the spot.

Curry/Poole/Andre
Klay/Lee/Moody
Wiggins/Otto/Kuminga
Dray/Bjelica/JTA
Looney/Wiseman

Probably gone: Mulder, GP2
2 way: Mannion

Do we keep one of Mulder or GP2 or add a big?

GP2 seems redundant with Mannion. So it's probably either Mulder or any other non-Point Guard.

with lee, poole and moody i dont think the warriors need mulder. can payton be signed under a two way? id look to add millsap or ennis, if not just keep the spot open

Badly Browned · Post #36 » by **Badly Browned** » Fri Aug 6, 2021 4:50 pm

Actually GP2 has more than 3 years NBA experience, so he cna't go on a two-way anyways.

No, Payton can't be signed to 2-way. I give him a chance to beat out Lee in camp, though. You need someone to guard all those high-scoring guards in the league. Whether they want to keep an empty spot might decide it, though.

Play-in 20-21:

Curry/Poole/Mannion/GP2
Bazemore/Mulder/Lee
Wiggins
Green/JTA/Pascall
Looney/Bell/Smiley

OUT: Klay, Oubre, Wiseman

Offseason 21-22:

Curry/Poole/Andre/*GP2
Klay/Lee/Moody/*Mulder
Wiggins/Otto/Kuminga
Dray/Bjelica/JTA
Looney/Wiseman

2 way: Mannion

Curry / Poole
Klay / Moody
Wiggins / OPJ / Iguodala
Geen / JTA / Kuminga
Looney / Wiseman / Bjelica

So we have these 13 guys who have a roster spot locked up.
Then we have Damion Lee who I think is likely to get one because his ties with Steph. And he's kinda decent as a 14th-15th man.
Mannion probably gets another two-way.
The last roster spot could either go to GP2 for a defensive option at PG, stay open or go to a vet free agent if we found a good one.
It would be amazing to get Reggie Jackson (or Dennis Schroeder) for the TPMLE, but I think it's very very unlikely so I'm fine with the current roster.
A big would also be cool to have, but if Wiseman is healthy for the start of the season I think we are set.

EDIT: Reggie re-signs with the Clippers, no shocker.

I think they will go with your last option and keep the 15th spot vacant in case an opportunity presents itself later in the season before the deadline.
