Golden State's main issue will be whether they can get a 3rd scorer alongside them. Podz wasn't consistent enough in the playoffs last season. He was late in the regular season. He wasn't early in the regular season. Kuminga is another option. Or via trade. They need that 3rd option to help them.
Then they will need only 2/3 of Steph / Jimmy / 3rd scorer to play well to give them a great chance of winning. Right now they get vulnerable if only one of Jimmy / Steph play well. If both play well, they are dynamite.
If I was the Warriors, I would try and flip Kuminga (plus Moody & Hield) for Porter Jr (plus salary filler).
Obviously you would have to wait until January & you may have to throw in a draft pick, but I think it would turn them into true contender.
Curry
Butler
Porter Jr
Green
Horford
Podziemski, Payton II, Jackson-Davis, Post, Melton, Curry
You have a higher view of MPJ than I do. But I do like where your head is at.
I know what you mean but MPJ would fit seamlessly into the Steve Kerr system. He would essentially be a poor man version of Durant when he was on the Warriors.
