Warriors: I'm not buying that Warriors are winning the next 5 years

[baseline bum]

They have a better chance to win championship next season than the Lakers' chance to make the playoffs, at least.

The Mavs have a better chance at winning a le than the Lakers do of making the playoffs.

[baseline bum]

Yep, they were not ham & eggers. They were superior quality talent. Men who answered the bell.

Barnes shot 35% in the Finals son.

Lakeshow is ringing in the next 5 years so i can see why you would think that

Gotta make the playoffs before you can ring.

Frankly, I was under the impression they were going to keep the majority of those lost AND add Durant. If the Cavaliers could pay a $60 million dollar tax penalty why couldn't State?

Because you're an idiot who doesn't understand how the CBA works.

Harrison Barnes and Andrew Bogut isn't premier talent. Kevin Durant is.

Perhaps negligibly, even then it's arguable. There is a lot of pomp & cir stance, a lot of symbolism to Durant's tenure. Trace substance.

He has answered the bell though.

Cost the Cavaliers $60 million, but, I didn't hear them complaining.

This idea that they are in le contention for 5 years is re ed...if Lebron and that heat team didnt win 7 and 8 les this team definitely isnt. Why the F is every ESPN analyst saying they got a le for at least 5 years in a row?

Depends.

If Durant resigns next year long term,

they'll be contending team for 5 years.

If he leaves after next year,

with all they've lost,

unless they get lucky in FA next year,

7 out of 10 GSW is royally ed...

[AlexJones]

Same could be said for 90% of GNSF's IMO

[offset formation]

Theyre winning at least 3 out of 5 the next 5 years

You have more faith in Durant's foot, Steph's knees and ankles, and Draymond's anger management training evidently than I do.

[BillMc]

Warriors will win 1 or 2 les in the next 5 years.

That sounds about right.

I don't get people talking negatively about G.S.'s depth-- Iggy and Livingston are still there, and they swapped Barnes & Bogut for Durant & Zaza, which is a substantial upgrade. David West is a better defender than Speights, and Varejao is re-signed. I don't see them having any depth issues at all.

The new people are unproven. The five that are gone actually answered a bell & rang it. That seems easy now that's it rung.

This warrior team is miles better than those heat teams.

[Chinook]

This warrior team is miles better than those heat teams.

Would probably rank it:

Lebron
Durant
Wade (2010-2012)
Curry
Draymond
Bosh (2012-2014)
Thompson
Bosh (2010-2012)
Wade (2012-2014)

I'd consider it a wash, especially considering that Miami was always able to have a decent amount of depth, whereas GS will most likely lose even more depth next off-season.
