It didn't feel like a real team.

And the way that they lost in the playoffs with Steph Curry getting hurt after playing 45 minutes in game seven against the Houston Rockets, it just didn't seem like regardless of what they did, that they could actually make another another lengthy playoff run.

But now that I'm seeing the rotation, I don't know.

I kind of like this team.

And, you know, I'm charting it out as in a best case scenario where Al Horford, who now that he's officially on the Golden State Warriors, I think he might be in the conversation for best free agent signing of the offseason.

Right.

He's tremendous.

He fits in.

He can play out of the pocket, spot up threes.

Like if he shoots 40% behind the three point line, he provides, you know, the top tier level defense that he does on his best nights and his best stints.

I just think that that is a humongous addition and like a huge upgrade over the center rotation that they had last year with Trace Jackson Davis and Quinton Post and playing Draymond at the five.

But now you have more options and versatility.

So I just, I love that addition.

And

Look, I think the Kaminga thing is kind of its own side conversation, but I feel for some reason optimistic that they will come to some sort of mutually beneficial conclusion here and get him out of there and replace him with anyone.

Like Malik Monk, Royce O'Neal, those names that I saw, honestly, I would be thrilled if I was the Golden State Warriors because I think that those are better fits for what they're trying to do in the short term.

Well, but Kerr is just on the record in various forms that he doesn't really like Jonathan Kaminga for this team.

So I just, when are we going to end this and rip the bandaid off?

Like it just, I feel like it's a divorce and it's just kind of, it's lingering.

He probably shouldn't have said anything.
