For the record the Warriors offseason is this:
OUT:
Klay Thompson (defense was worst of his career, overall game took a step back)
Chris Paul (will literally be 40 during next season)
Dario Saric (was good, then 100% checked out and terrible after DM died)
Usman Garuba (roster filler)
Lester Quinones (roster filler)
Jerome Robinson (2-way)
IN:
Buddy Hield (basically was identical to Klay last season, is only here to shoot)
Kyle Anderson (huge sign, a 6’9″ guy who can play defense makes this team better, plus his overall game is like 10x better than Saric’s)
De’Anthony Melton (really interesting younger player looking to improve his game, which is already solid. High floor type.)
Lindy Waters III (like Melton, is the type to be looking to improve and unravel more of his already tooled-up game)
Quentin Post (a “big boy”, excellent-defending center who shoots 3’s like Joker AND was a 4 year starter at BC? Meaning Kerr will use him immediately like he did TJD? Awesome get if healthy.)
Reece Beekman (Marcus Smart-light. Another excellent draft pick, a PG who plays elite defense and isn’t horrible running an offense. If GSW move Podz, Beekman might be a better version of him ready and willing to slide right into Podz’ roster spot.)
