Sure, Smart is a reasonable comparison in role. I'd value Dort more right now mainly due to contract, as I view Dort as reasonably close to his ceiling (age not a big factor).

Yeah, I figured as much where the Warriors might as well just go for Smart in a move that probably costs them less in all aspects other than extra millions in luxury tax payments for their billionaire owners. If you're trying to move from Wiseman for better present value, I'm not sure Dort offers that much more than like an Avery Bradley off the waiver wire.

Smart just got extended, so I don't see him as all that likely to move.
We disagree on Dort's quality, I have him slightly behind Smart and well above Bradley.

Rather than nit-picking on Bradley in particular when I just threw his name out as whoever the best defensive guard is out there for a 2-way/minimum (if you think Dort has better trade value than the much better player in Smart due to contract, then the same should apply to someone who is a few years from being at his peak and will be a free agent in 2023 versus the best of the scrap heap), I don't value Dort (best-case of Smart minus a lot of playmaking, doesn't create as many turnovers as his defensive reputation suggests) that highly for this year's Warriors. Besides, wanting a defensive guard with a limited outside shot is pretty much a tacit admission that Klay is not going to be anywhere close to his previous form, in which case you should probably be considering something bigger than this more lateral move. Might as well hope for a Wiseman breakout at that cost because a bench guard like Dort isn't pushing them into title contention in the short term.

So yeah, we disagree on Dort, I don't think Smart is 'much better' than Dort at all. I view Smart as a 4th starter for a contender, Dort as a 5th starter you expect to develop into that 4th starter (with some small hopes for more than that). No guy currently on the free agency market comes even close to that.

Putting aside how nonsensical that is (when you're down to the 4th vs. 5th starter, there isn't a whole lot of difference - once you get down to who the ~100th-best player in the league is, the talent level is significantly leveled off and it has much more to do with fit or how talented your 1st-3rd best players are) I'd say yeah, getting a 5th vs. 4th starter alone is a pretty big difference for how old the Warriors' main players are. Either way, wanting a player like that to be a token stationary three-point threat that defenses still help off of (when a contested Steph three is better than an open Dort one) for pretty much the sole benefit of defending the matchups Steph and injured Klay can't (when I'm not even sure how much better that would be than Iguodala in that regard) doesn't seem to be more than shuffling deck chairs.

Someone will still be playing the 'pg' spot when Steph sits even if the playmaking load is more distributed. If you know of any good playmakers we could target (who make a comparable amount to Dort) feel free to post the deal - off the top of my head Jalen Brunson might be the only one in the league.
I obviously agree on the value of Favors, but Dort is the value of this deal, not Favors. Favors is a way to directly get a rotation quality big when it may be otherwise tricky to fill that role. Muscala would be a reasonable option as well directly from the Thunder, but that trade would have to wait a bit longer.
Obviously I would've liked Gasol, he also pretty obviously turned us down. Past that, there's nobody equal to Favors on the FA market left (unless Baynes heals).

I can understand saying Poole is a distributor as we have tried to develop him as a PG for a couple years but in reality he's played much better as an attacking scorer than distributor.
Dort can only be related to a 1 spot because his height. He averaged 1.7 assists this year and .8 last year what am I missing? That is not his role and when I say that is a need for the team I mean we need a real distributor. Not someone who is short.
Pre-draft this may have made some more sense but now I cannot imagine GSW giving up Wiseman for more wing depth.
