Mo Speights signs with the Clippers for the minimum. Nice to see Golden State not getting all the min. players. Apparently he spurned them because they couldn't guarantee as many minutes as he wanted.
So: GState have lost:
Barnes
Bogut
Ezeli
Barbosa
Speights

Not going to do much for continuity. But I'm sure they'll manage.
 
Their starters will have to play 38+ minutes per game.

I wonder what this will do to Curry's health.

They have Livingston, iguodola, west currently off the bench, I think Ian Clark as well, and will likely add a few more. With that big 4, they can easily stagger minutes. And how many 4th quarters will they need to play? No way they average 38 minutes

They have no big lineup left. I wonder how they're going to deal with that. Just trust the big 4 to open up such a big lead it doesn't matter?

Yeah there's no shortage of vets looking for a ring that have shown interest - David Lee, Chalmers. Even Ray Allen and Jermaine O'Neal, so long as they can use their motorized scooters at practice.

Big lineup? Zaza and green will start at 5 and 4. Durant at 3, Thompson at 2. That's a big lineup

Yeah, I remembered him, just didn't think that he'd make for a big lineup at C. Zaza fills the bill there.

Showerthought: thank god Zaza took the room exception with GS
 
That Warriors team has been gutted. They've lost a lot of guys who were a big reason for their success the past few years. They've brought in some okay pieces, but it really all depends on their chemistry.

They brought in Kevin freaking Durant to a 73 win team. They'll get over losing Bogut and Barnes and fringe players.
 
Even if GSW doesn't have a bench, their starters will run up the score so much that they can just coast the rest of the way.

What you call 'fringe players', I call roll players. They've still got two great ones with Iggy and Livingston. But I'm not sold that adding Durant is going to work out as well as everyone thinks it is going to.

Only one player can score on any given possession...
Last I checked GSW didn't have a problem scoring...
 
I don't know.. Durant's strengths are pretty much negated playing off the ball. And is taking away looks from Curry and Thompson a good thing? I don't see how the efficiency of their offense goes up tbh.
 
When the heat won back to back it wasn't just the big 3, it was the contributions by guys like Ray Allen, Mike Miller, and Mario Chalmers. Warriors still have some pieces to back up their string 4 man group, but the lost a lot of those guys who will do anything/everything out on the court.

David west is basically their saving grace. Zaza is a downgrade from Ezeli and Bogut.

They were talking about this during one of the SL games today. Warriors lost a lot of players who were key to their success last season... Barbosa, Ezeli, Bogut, Barnes, Speights...

It will be really interesting to see what happens, but I think any GM would be happy to sacrifice depth to add Kevin fucking Durant to their team. They still have their core pieces and they are going to be able to add as many ring chasers as they want. Losing depth sucks, but any gm in this league would do the same thing, including Olshey.
