Golden State Warriors Case Study
1. Golden State Warriors
It’s astounding to think a season after winning 73 games the Warriors actually improved their team from a roster standpoint, but that’s exactly what they did. Not only did they add Kevin Durant, but they also added David West and Zaza Pachullia. These three additions are undeniably an upgrade over their two biggest losses, Harrison Barnes and Andrew Bogut.
The Warriors are going to set records this season; Total points, field goal percentage, total number of made three pointers, and members of an All-NBA Team are all on the table of being broken by this team.
I don’t expect them to win 73 games again; in fact it wouldn’t shock me if they won less than 65. It’s not because they’re a worse team, but rather the team …show more content…
They’ve made countless mistakes, botched numerous draft picks, and their head coach position has been a rotating door. This season is no different, in that the Kings are again in a place of disarray. Not only do they have a disgruntled superstar, but they also have one of the least talented rosters in the NBA.
The Kings 2016-2017 season should be a reboot season. Trading DeMarcus Cousins and Rudy Gay should be near the top of the team’s priority list this season. Out with old and in with the new. Acquire draft picks and young talent. The team needs a fresh start, even if that means trading their two best players.
5. Los Angeles Lakers
The Lakers are still a few years away from returning to basketball prestige. Their roster is full of young players who need time to adjust to playing with each other. I love the young make-up of the team. I thin they have two legitimate candidates on their roster to become superstars in Brandon Ingram and Julius Randle. Both are extremely young and still developing.
The team isn’t going to resemble anything close to a playoff team this year. It’s going to look ugly at times, but that is okay. It is better to be the worst team in the league than a budding playoff
