It seems like the loss of Klay Thompson wasn’t felt by the Warriors at all.

In their preseason game against the Kings, Hield showed off his 3-point accuracy, hitting 6 of 7 and leading the team in scoring. If he can keep that up in the regular season, the Warriors are still a dangerous team, and who knows, they might find themselves back in the NBA Finals again.

I knew it, Buddy Hield is a consistent shooter, so it's only right that the Warriors signed him. His career is about to take off again since he fits perfectly with their system. I can't wait anymore! We're still in the preseason, but it already feels like the regular season is here. In his last season average, his shooting percentage was 42.5%, placing him in the top 3- pretty solid...

Warriors are going to be lucky to make the playin. The west is so strong they are going to have fight through great teams every night and hate to say it but their "stars" are on the wrong side of age. Old players don't make deep runs for a reason. Season is long and grueling but their team isn't good enough to sit them for stretches. I might be of the minority but steph holds insane value for contenders. I'd start fleeting teams and stack picks like okc did with parting with pg3. If they run this thing out they won't have any assets and be terrible for years. The okc model is the way to go for them.

Yes, the Warriors will have to go to a lot just in order to even in the play-in. The West roster now is balance, and if you look at it last year, Sacramento was strong in the beginning and then they falter later, and that's why the also stack themselves with DeMar DeRozan.

Of course you may say that they have the DNA championships, but they are no longer getting any younger, and so it's really hard for Curry and Draymond Green to carry the load unlike when they are in their primes. Buddy Hield might be a good pick up last season, but I do not see him turning the franchise again to win this NBA ring for this season.
