    I seriously don't get it... They get the best record in NBA history. They fight their way through the playoffs. The lose in 7 games against the Cavs.
    WHY do people think they need to make changes? They're a good team who just happened to lose in the end. Nothing says that can't be as good next season.

        This has been coming from a mile away. The reason they were so good is because of their depth and what allowed them to have tremendous depth was guys on rookie scale contracts (Draymond and Klay) and Steph being tremendously underpaid due to his previous injuries. Of course they have some guys coming off the books, but it's going to be interesting to see what Golden State does.

            No doubt. They don't need to spend a bunch of cash on KD. They need to get a back up center for Bogut. Ezeli and Varejo(sp?) proved to be horrific back ups once Bogut went down doing nothing defensively, offensively, or on the boards. They should look at someone like Noah, Biyombo, Howard, etc.
            EA and 2k have the unfortunate task of trying to balance on a tightrope of fun and sim while trying not to fall 10,000 feet to their death. Instead of a safety net waiting down below there will just be angry customers quick to move out of the way and talk of their failure.

                Their GM (or maybe their owner?) spoke at Stanford recently, and made comments to the effect of "if you're doing the same thing you've been doing, then the competition will catch you." So I think he's interested in making some tweaks.

                If the NBA is going to allow "playoff-style basketball" in the Finals, then they need to add some size and toughness. OKC almost beat them because of their size, and Lebron/TristanThompson basically bullied the Warriors they matched up against. Physically, Barnes was a great fit for them. But he doesn't play up to his physical tools. I'd like Batum there, but I don't see CHA letting him go. If they could get a big who could stay on the floor, it would give them a lot more flexibility. Isn't Al Horford a FA? He's a high-IQ player, and has enough range to space the floor. Would he play at a discount?
