I've got a confession Keys.
I am locked in on the Warriors this year for many reasons. One of them being you've sold me on them being perfectly ripe for Altman to get a win in trading with them, in probably about a handful of trade scenarios.
The one thing that I've always felt and have it confirmed for me this season, is that Draymond is the heart and soul of that team.
He makes what Steph can do with the ball, possible. He has his hand and voice on every element of both sides of the court for them. He quarterbacks the defense, offense and mentors kids like Wiseman, Paschal AND rehabs headcases like Wiggins. If you put this 30 yr old Draymond in Chicago, Detroit, Charlotte or here, he would have any of those teams right behind Brooklyn, Philly, Boston and Milwaukee as the 5th seed in the East this season.
If you put him in Denver and let him be Mike Malone on the floor, they're my favorite to win the next 2-3 titles
He has the intangibles and leadership qualities that I loved watching in players like Magic and GP.
When he retires in a few years our children will get together and form a family band and tour the countryside, and you won't be invited.
