Forum Game What if Dame and Steph Had Been on Each Other's Team?

The golden state offense was pretty much built around Steph’s offball ability and ability to shoot shots extremely fast.

I don’t think GSW wins a championship with Dame.

I think Portland might’ve won one with Steph, but Stotts was the coach, so maybe not.

I see the opposite.

Dame has better chance of winning at least a championship with those Warriors than Steph winning any with the Blazers
 
What if we had taken HFB and the Warriors picked Dame? For how many years would Dame have come off the bench as Steph’s backup?
 
Because Steph runs down and hands the ball to Draymond doesn't make him a good passer. Steph is like a cross country runner on the court. Dame has to quarterback the Blazers. It's different. Draymond does more quarterbacking for the Warriors than Steph. Steph is mainly a shooter, who gets many of his assist by an easy pass to a generational shooter in Klay Thompson. Dame has not had that luxury. The best shooter Dame had was LaMarcus. CJ would get many passes from Dame, and was open, but decided to dribble into another shot or situation . Thus no assist. I get what your saying about assist doesn't equal great passer. But Dame is an underrated marksmen with his passing skills. They actually are as good as i've seen in the NBA today. Joker gets all the credit in the world for having so called "eye" in the back of his head. But i've seen Dame make incredible, after incredible, cross court, & in the paint, passes through traffic that are simply overlooked and amazing.

Dame plays so much different than Steph that I really don't think he's the same in the Warriors system. Dame is pretty much a ISO/PnR player. I mean maybe the Durant years, but once again, really don't think the Warriors have the same kind of run to "entice" Durant into coming. And Durant wanted to play in a system that wasn't ISO-based, which, I really doubt they have that same free-flowing offense with Dame at the helm.

And I think the 09-10, 10-11, and 14-15 teams might've had a chance with Steph Curry.
 
This kinda thread an question reinforces my opinion that our fanbase is full of masochists.
 
The biggest separator between Steph and Dame is obvious.

Shooting.

Curry is unequivocally number 1. His worst year shooting the three is still better than Dame's best year percentage wise. Frankly, it's not close and it's what makes Steph a top 10 player in NBA history and Dame will finish probably close to 50 or so depending on how many accolades he ends up with.

Dame probably wins in 17 & 18 in GS. But not in 15 or 22. Steph wins no rings in PDX, maybe drags us to a WCF or two.

I think you're right on everything up until what you think happens with Dame on the Warriors after 2018. I think if he wins with the Warriors in 2017 and Durant joins them that they would win together in 2018, I think they would then stay together if they lost in 2019 because Dame is a different kind of leader than anyone the Warriors have right now and he wouldn't have the MVPs that Steph does, so KD would be the best player on the team but Dame would hold that team together. I think they would win in 2022 and maybe even in 2021 and still be title favorites now. This whole thread is lousy with conjecture though so it's all just very far out there make believe shit.

I think Dame win 16, 17, 18

You think Dame beats that historically good Cavs team in 16? Maybe he controls Draymond better so he doesn't get suspended for Game 6?

But if they win in 16, KD doesn't join them for 17-19.

I don't apply the if X happens then Y wouldn't. I simply swap Dame and Steph with each year's roster around them exactly the same.

16 Warriors wouldn't win 73 with Dame in reg season. Less. Steph was unanimous MVP that year. But I think they'd still make it to the Finals and Dame won't underperform significantly like Steph did
