This is honestly the part that's incredible to me. I mean, besides Payton, did the Warriors lose any other significant pieces from last year? Otto Porter, maybe? I just can't believe that losing their 7th and 8th men has resulted in such a precipitous drop-off.

Combination of losing 7 and 8 plus having the problems between Poole and Green. Then you have Klay not shooting real well and you have your reasons. Thing is that team will pull it together.

I'd expect they will ultimately look much better than they have these first few weeks of the season.

But they might never get back to a contender level of play this year. Their stars were already old and now one year older.

Plus it's just very hard to bring that fire to repeat as champions. Lakers went from champs to play in. Bucks dropped off last year. Spurs dynasties never won consecutive titles.

Can we say the Lakers went from Champs to Chumps please.
 
Right now Ben Simmons is toxic. He can't stay healthy, can't shoot the ball, and has a very large mental health problem. PASSSSSS.

Simmons looks like a broken player. I wouldn't want him on that massive contract, has less trade value than nothing.

Once his deal ends or he gets bought out maybe he'd be worth exploring for the MLE.

Nets are now winning without him and without Kyrie. I don't think that's a coincidence.

Been broken for a long time. Wish there was a way to see a report of all those clamoring for Simmons the last two years and those not. Would never ever want that guy.
 
For Ben Simmons to be worth anywhere near what he is being paid he needs to facilitate the offense from the front court He would be a very good role player as a starter (passer/ defender/ rebounder ) and a very effective PG with the 2nd unit. Sure I would like to have him in our rotation, but not at his salary and not for what it would take to trade for him. He is not a 2-way player so I think a combination of cheaper players is a better route to go in filling what role he would provide. (i.e GP2, Winslow, Watford)

Green has lost a step as well, if it's age or something else like everyone else is getting renewed contracts and he is less likely to get one, I don't know, but their defensive coordinator declining and their best off the bench defender leaving really hurt their defense this early in the year
 
Good to see Simmons rounding into shape:

Kind of shocking how he avoids FTs now, though.
