Dallas' efforts to acquire Bogut, as first reported by @espn, are in the final stages; Golden State determined to find him a good new home

People also forgetting the Warriors will now fill the roster with ring chasers... they'll have size and depth still.

They aren't forgetting, they are intentionally ignoring it. They are in denial, and clinging to "GS has no bigs!" is a coping mechanism.

@ the tank movement

Spurs have the best two-way player in the NBA and a perennial all-star in his second season with the team. They have Pop and a deep bench full of players with different skills.

Thinking Pop is an advantage

Not to mention Wade and Lebron were very redundant, it took them 2 seasons to figure out how to play together, offensively..Bosh had to change his entire game, too..

There won't be much adjustment needed with the Warriors..their top 3 options are good to great spot-up shooters, while Draymond is also capable..they also have 3 great playmakers in Curry, Green and Iguodala..defensively, Dominos is an upgrade over Barnes, easily..

It just looks like a very natural fit, unfortunately..

Agreed. The Heat comparison is driving ing crazy. It's nothing like that. The Heat forced Bosh to do something he wasn't great at. You just had to live with that. You don't even have to be a great playmaker on the Warriors because nobody is doubling and nobody is taking a step in.

Seriously though, mark of a good franchise. Spurs did the same thing for Georgie and Shhhplitta

[SPURt]

Yeah, the Heat with Bibby and Haslem are comparable.

It's all about playing style. It's easier try protect the paint from Wade and Lebron than to guard the 3pt line with three of the greatest shooters in the history of the league.

Until I see them play it's hard to say if it was easier to gaurd the paint against Lebron/Wade/Bosh or force Klay/Curry/KD into bad shots. It's also hard to predict what that offense will look like because their starting center is likely not on the roster unless it's Speights.

Tanking based on fear of what could be is cowardly. Hopefully Kawhi/Pop/LMA are more willing to take on the challenge than this fan board. To me, Bogut, Barnes, Festus/Iggy is too much defense lost. This team is looking a lot like Nash's Suns to me.

I wonder what Ezeli will command.

There are some injury questions that has lowered what he can expect.

Nash's Suns on steroids, maybe.

There won't be any forcing of bad shots. Cavs defense this year relied on leaving Barnes open. Defenses do that all the time. Try leaving Durant open. Also Durant isn't just going to stand around like Barnes. He's going to create more shots for Curry and Klay. There won't be any forcing bad shots.

Considering Mozgov got 64mil for 4yrs at the age of 30, I'd say you can expect more than that.

Barring injury, they'll be 82-0. They can make it somewhat interesting and play blindfolded and still be 73-9 again.

The difference between the two

One bobble head ass is speaking nonsense while the other has his head right (and normal sized) and tweets go Spurs go

If I'm Portland, I think I'm going in that direction over Gasol. He's younger, more athletic and more skilled than he showed at GS.

Yeah that was gross. It will be a lot but it will make that deal look bad I think.

Relax!. Once the Ezili shoe drops, the rest of these nigs will be signing like hot cakes.

LOL... WTF is Fathead even talking about? Go to the ing gym, Fathead, and stay off Twitter.

SloMo looking forward to be helping Durant win another series?

[Leetonidas]

Hurry the up with Gasol already
