    The way Shannon can talk NFL & NBA flawlessly is unique. He wasn’t a journalist but he’s clearly invested & does his HW. Usually athletes can only confidently talk about their sport but Shannon has crazy range.

    I don't think there's even an argument of who should come off the bench in terms of fit, it's Chris Paul. If we're going to talk about Klay's defense then CP's defense is definitely in question to say the least. CP fits perfectly off the bench for this team.

    At the end of the day CP3 comes off the bench and leads the 2nd unit which has been the #1 problem for the Warriors for years (non Steph minutes). Their starting 5 had the best +/- for the past 2 years. Coming off the bench and playing 15 to 20 minutes a night will enable CP3 to have his legs come playoff time and hopefully remain healthy. Lookout if Kuminga and Moody take a 3rd year jump (CP3 will greatly help them develop this year). Wiggins will be back for a full season. Klay will start the season in shape and GPII is fully healthy. The W's are now 10 deep.

    I think Warriors took whatever they could get for Poole right away instead of waiting. So they got CP3. I personally think Warriors don't plan on keeping CP3 long term. I think they trade him by the trade deadline to get something better in return. Which brings me to Giannis. If Giannis isn't happy this season or bucks don't do well, then I think the Warriors and Giannis would be a perfect pairing. But Warriors could offer a nice trade package in exchange for Giannis. And have Giannis and Steph join forces.

      Yeah you right it is a business but you said if the team isn’t winning and the bucks has had the best record over the past 3 seasons just about it was Gianni’s himself that missed 2 and a half games in the playoff last year due to injury otherwise I think they go further. So idk what you mean about the team struggling and that other mess it was just unfortunate he got hurt last season both Jrue and Brook had the best seasons of their careers statistically. Giannis is turning into Aaron rodgers slowly but difference is rodgers had good reason packers never drafted or signed any top tier weapons. The bucks have done everything got him his money signed his brothers got em a coach built the roster around him and I’m sure there is a lot of behind the scene stuff they do for him as well. I think Giannis is becoming spoiled and I’m prolly his biggest fan. I would rather him say he just wanna be in a better city then act like the bucks isn’t doing enough

    Giannis is obviously a top 1-3 player in the NBA , but he def still has a huge hole in his game (outside shooting). No matter what team he goes to, he will need an elite outside scorer that can take over a game when needed as well. The bucks dont have that currently and good defensive teams can lock down the paint and force giannis' teammates to make the big shots. If dude just got a consistent midrange/3pt shot, their team would be consistently making the finals as currently constructed.

    Seeing how well Klay led the team when Steph was out last year, imagine if Klay could come off the bench. Not only would he provide a huge scoring boost, he would also show facets to his game that we haven't seen before. Maybe Klay and CP could both come off the bench and Maybe even Kuminga could start.
    Steph, Wiggs, Kuminga, Dray, Looney
    CP3, GPII, Klay, Moody, prolly Dario.
    Ngl that’s not a bad lineup given that Kuminga and Moody can make the jumps that they are supposed to.
    Although the only dilemma is that there’s pretty much two people you'd want next to steph, and that’s dray and klay. They compliment steph's game so well that they are so hard to beat.

    Eh maybe, if you go Death Lineup as example for the first 5 mins of the game. then swap to a more traditional lineup and stagger Curry Klay and CP3. Klay will be much better on D this year than he was last year also. He will never be Prime Klay on D or on O again but he will be much better and more consistent this year.
    I also think if someone goes to the bench they will go Looney to bench and just do a pure death lineup to start the game and try to jump out to an early lead. Which lines up perfectly for how they used to come out and run teams off the court in the 3rd quarter. If they go death lineup to start 1st and 3rd for 5-7 mins then run through the subs they could jump out to some big big leads.
