There are two other aspects of your analysis which might lead you to do another blog. First, there is the argument that it takes a while for a good team to become a top team as the players develop chemistry, trust, and experience playing with one another. Obvious examples are the teams who have created “dynasties” over a given period of time.

The other aspect worth noting by using the Clippers as an example is they lost Livingston, Cassels was hurt most of the year, Kamen played like crap after getting his big contract, and they lost their hunger. I don’t see that happening with the Warriors even as presently constituted.

There is no question the Warriors need to upgrade and we can only hope Mully will create another trade scenario to move some players who don’t fit with his system and find one or two players who will provide us that upgrade.
