And according to Woj if we don't offer Klay the max and Lakers do and they have AD klay could be gone

Just seen that on sportscenter, I'd be ok with trading Draymond to make sure KD and Klay are resigned..Draymond should bring back some nice picks, young guys..
Draymond is the heart and sole of this team. No no no

Don't get me wrong I like Draymond but I rather have Klay and KD in the long run. His decline offensively is alarming and also constant nagging injuries. It's just gonna get worse as he get older. I doubt any team would give up a lot on Draymond especially picks.

We all love Draymond, but KD and Klay are the pillars of this franchise.

Draymond is important to this team but he's not worth a max deal IMO.

Underestimating Draymond. He's the heart of the team. The firestarter.

He's not more important than KD but I'd say he's equally important to Klay.

And I dont think he will see a max deal from the Warriors or anyone. The Dubs will offer him a very fair offer in my opinion and let him shop another deal if it isnt enough for him to sign.

Firestarter, huh? How about all his technicals? Is that a firestarter, too?

The technicals, while irritating, usually have not cost the team. Put it this way, they dont have any impact whatsoever on Draymond's value to this team. By the way, Durant has one more tech than Draymond this year.

Draymond is easier to replace than klay who fits this offense to a tee and is one of the best pure shooters in the league. He also doesn't bring the "problems" you have to live with Green.

No. It did not. This year is the only year the Warriors have had an opportunity to 3 peat.

If you are taking about THREE years ago when they were going for back to back, yes the ridiculous call by the league probably did cost them that title. I like the overall outcome though... by losing then got KD and 3 titles in 4 years.

People who dont follow the Warriors on an everyday basis and just look at box scores dont appreciate Draymond like they do Steph, KD, and Klay simply because of the scoring. People who do fully understand that without Draymond the Warriors wouldnt have won any.

Yeah, I'm sorry it wasn't the three peat year - still that year Draymond doesn't get suspended we win the Championship.


Barnes reaction to Klay possibly going to the Lakers calling BS about the report.

Draymond is easier to replace than klay who fits this offense to a tee and is one of the best pure shooters in the league. He also doesn't bring the "problems" you have to live with Green.

Is he though?

Dray over the last couple months has like a 10:1 assist to turnover ratio and can run the offense. Klay can't do that.

He can handle the ball from the forward position.

He does a lot of the dirty work, he's a better rebounder.

He is a better defender than Klay and can defend all 5 position at an elite level.

Dray's basketball IQ is off the charts.

He's the glue of the team and holds everyone accountable.

I'm not saying he's more important than Klay, I'm saying they are both vital parts of equal importance.

Kerr has said that at this moment, Dray is playing the best basketball of his career.
