My take is - I think D'Lo had a good year last year and is a good young player. But, he made the all-Star team as an injury replacement and in the East which didn't have a lot of great guards last season. And has no chance to make the all-star team in the West - so he's not really an all-star player. Also, Nets traded him when they could have kept him by trading Dinwiddie and Joe Harris (two decent players).
I personally don't think Warriors will keep him for more than a year, if that. I also think they can get good return for him because he is a good young player and I believe Warriors can enhance his value further - though being on a max contract does hurt his value imo.
But what do others think?
He is a good offensive player, and when he is hot, he is an elite scorer. He is a bit streaky... also, he's kind of a tweener. More of a SG, but undersized for that role. He isn't good on defense.
I think he'll fit in GS well, and after him and Steph build some chemistry they'll be really exciting. Up there as the best backcourt in the NBA (top five). I agree that the Dubs can increase his value, and I expect he'll be traded at some point because he may be a better fit elsewhere and fill a greater need.
I applaud Myers for getting this done. Softens the blow a tad bit from losing KD, and should ensure an exciting brand of ball to open up Chase
