KD can work on literally any team.

even if you disagree with that statement.... as it pertains to GSW: He has a very wide skillset. Dudes running off with the chemistry topic are trying too hard. We understand the concept, its not that hard to conceptualize.

but specific to KD, he can fit in. He has quite a bit to offer, and has shown the ability to change his game/role in order to continue to win.

and I mean, he's currently eating with RWB on his side. a guy that IS NOT sacrificing any part of his game. He'll adjust as needed

when its crunch time it doesnt work. they cant win a chip.we've seen it for years.

they take turns playing iso ball. kds favorite shot is a iso 3 long to when push comes to shove. people blame it on the coaching but its not the coaching. "why do they stop moving the ball and start doing iso" hear that all the time from dudes on nt.

Why do you guys only think about offense? There's the defensive side of the ball too. A perfect player for GS to sign if Barnes had to leave would be someone like Jimmy Butler, not KD.

Too bad Jimmy is pretty much locked up.

Now THIS would be perfect!!

amel223 said:
Coexisting and thriving together are too different things

I'm sure GS would be able to figure things out on the offensive end with KD

But what does KD add to the team besides scoring? And then by signing him you lose two guys in Iggy and Barnes, who give you depth, role players and defense

It's not like GS really needs his scoring. They're kinda already unstoppable on that end without him lol.

GS really don't need scoring. They need balance.

Iggy is approaching his last years. So is Bogut. While KD is in his prime now and probably has at least 5 more years of greatness in him. You pair that with the Warriors YOUNG studs in Steph, Klay, and Dray? That's five years of having 4 of your top guys in their primes.

Kevin Durant isn't James Harden. He's not ball dominant. KD is one of the top 3 players in the League. You plug him in ANYWHERE, and it's a success.

The thing about KD that people seem to forget is that he's not a ball dominant player. He can get his at anytime without dominating the ball.

GSW offense is actually perfect for KD. KD from a few years ago was one for the most assisted players in the L. He can score off of pin downs, curls, fast break...etc.

A 1/3 P&R with Steph & KD.....and Klay on the weak side with Dray as an outlet is an absolute nightmare :x. Pick your poison. Not to even mention the potential "death lineup".

Honestly, it wouldn't be fair if KD went to the Warriors. I'm hoping it doesn't happen...but if it does....we can only pray.

this man knows. I think the guys running off with the chemistry talks are being lazy in analysis. If you've watched like 60% of KD's games over the past 3 years, it'd all be too obvious.

I don't even get how what Lebron said about his teammates having little playoff experience is even a big deal. Is he wrong? Jesus man this dude can't say anything without it getting taken the wrong way.

Telling the media that his teammates who are professional basketball players have never played meaningful basketball in their lives is incredibly disrespectful and a sign of awful leadership

the warriors don't play iso ball. they have a competent coach/system and some good role players that are coached to their strengths, and KD would just be another high IQ player added to the mix. Your options would be unlimited.

btw., klay can kick rocks/get released for all i care tbh :lol:

this is currys team.

thats what I'm saying. That's the issue when you have multiple stars. They all want the last shot. Soon as someone misses, animosity rares its ugly head. the other star thinks to themselves ' i wish this ***** would pass the ball sometimes, i'd make that ****.'

just think to miami's first year and how lebrons nuts hadn't fallen yet and all those missed opportunities he bricked. Then dwade said he'd be the closer 'for obvious reasons'

That's the only rough part of having multiple superstar closers on the same squad. Hell, that's one of the issues with okc every single night. last night was a prime example.

Well to be fair he said they haven't played much meaningful basketball not never. But that's true that can come off as disrespectful.

Lovetohate3000 · Mar 3, 2016

his teammates should mention his god awful shooting percentage , how bad of a shooter lj is and how he is a bad leader. it wouldnt come off disrespectful right ? . they would just be saying the truth.

it's been a few times we thought that would be the case and he more than held his own, like against Marc Gasol who couldn't so anything against his length. And then ultimately, they have to guard him too

Maybe when you're dealing with ball hogs like Kobe but Steph, Klay and KD could careless who gets the last shot. They've always been unselfish. It'll just come down to whoever has the best matchup or has the best night. Hell, if they could keep Iggy, HE'D even be in line to take the last shot. He's hit PLENTY for the Warriors already.

You can't be THIS dense man. You really can't :lol:

.

Firstly, we're talking about KD on the Warriors. The most fluid offense in the NBA. He would get much better shots there.

Secondly....ISO 3's for KD and Steph in the clutch...are good shots. You don't have to draw up some fancy plays when you have talent like that. Unique players that can pull up from 25ft and have a 40% chance of going in.

Thirdly...I want to REALLY drive this point home for some of you hot take bball fans. The Thunder not winning a chip has nothing to do with KD, Russ of Scott Brooks. They've been the 3rd best team in the NBA for the last few years. 4th after the Warriors rise last year. Injuries. Playing in a FINALS against 3 top 10 players at the time (Bron, Wade, Bosh)....not to mention inexperience has kept this team from "winning ish" as you hot take people call it. Heat, Spurs, Warriors were just better...or healthier. It's really that simple.

Lastly, Kevin Durant works ANYWHERE. Case closed.

There are no Lebrons on this (theoretical) GSW team. Two wet scorers who can also create/distribute. There are no RWB's on this (theoretical) GSW team either. Just wet shooting and high IQ basketball. KD/Steph will give the ball to whoever it makes sense to based on how teams play them. Not hard to do that when both your outlets are two of your top shooters in the league.

If you guys come up with another apples/apples comparison I'll hear it out, but it sounds mostly like apples/oranges

It's incredible that some of you refuse to believe that there are unselfish basketball players that exist. You're also ignoring the big picture and focusing on your argument on trivial **** like "who takes the last shot". Who ******* cares? You run the best play and make the best decision. The way some of y'all view basketball in these "who's the man" situations is mind boggling.

The Spurs have had three hall of famers leading them to the best records in sports period for the past decade and some. How many times have they clashed over who takes the last shot?

And technically here...we're talking about two "superstars". Klay and dray aren't superstars.

KD don't even take the last shot at OKC now :lol:

ady2glude707 · Mar 3, 2016

The GS vs ATL game 2 nights ago would also be another reason GS would welcome Durant. There have been times this season where when curry is out of the line up or taking a breather, GS let's a team back in or has a difficult time finding a scorer, or where the ball doesn't move as fluidly. You might say klay is that guy, but I see klay more of a shooter than a go to guy. He doesn't really create his own offense as he is more of a catch and shoot scorer. KD would rid that weakness with the dubs by always having a scorer on the floor.

Exactly. Dry mouth knows his role and klay flat out said he doesn't want to be the man. KD passes up good looks to swing the ball to randy foye and dion waiters. It would be a perfect fit

wavycrocket · Mar 3, 2016

Dudes in here talking about "who would take the last shot" like this is 2003 and Tmac and Kobe are potentially playing together :lol:

.

We're literally coming off a finals where IGGY was the MVP. The other night, Steph was red hot and kicked it to the corner for Klay to hit a huge 3. The same game where Draymond was upset about his role, but still contributed big time.

Everybody isn't wired in this mythical tired "my team" narrative from the ISO ball era that you dudes won't seem to let go. Bron and Wade won two chips just a few years ago. How quickly we forget.

datznasty · Mar 3, 2016

What 5s in the league are major scoring threats anyways? Then of them, who even plays in post? DMC for example lives off face up midrange and is a 40% shooter. You want to force feed Howard in the post instead of Harden doing his thing? Fine, I'll call that a win and I'm helping off of Josh Smith. Ditto DAJ. LMA is shooting 20 footers all day. So is Horford if he's not in the training room

You'd really just have to get him help on the d boards against some of those guys

YEP!

You're spot on with this assessment. Klay is definitely more a Ray Allen type player. While they can create their own shot here and there, it's not as efficient and they're better at running off screens and being catch and shoot players. When Steph wasn't playing that night, it was tough watching them in certain stretches. KD could definitely help that out.
