Damn. Should have traded him.

[ProfessorMurder]

So they'll finally start playing well again?

Remember what happened when he went down last year vs Denver?

[Heavincent]

That really sucks.

[livinglegend]

Very misleading thread title.
You are making it sound like he will be most likely out for the whole playoffs.
In reality, in the article, it says they are not sure when he will be back. He could be back before the playoffs or he could miss the start of the playoffs. They never mention him missing the whole playoffs.

Also, ISH posters in this thread, mostly followers and copycats, just believe what you said. Instead of reading the article by themselves and making sure that what you are saying is true, they just believed you. :facepalm

they didn't say he was out, he could be back before the playoffs

lee can come off the bench where he would dominate

Replace Green with Harrison and it would be an upgrade from last year. I really like the idea of Lee coming off the bench with JO or Ezeli. So it's not really devastating.

^ Nahhhh, Barnes would not be an upgrade over anything right now. Barnes should be getting DNP-CD's to be honest

edit: Also Draymond Green is really underrated. Everyone loves the damn guy, he should be starting regardless.

[DMAVS41]

Really thought the Warriors should have packed Lee and Barnes for something this off season after they got Iggy.

They just don't need Lee imo, and while I like Barnes...his value was never going to be higher than it was after the playoffs last year. He's a good player still...don't get me wrong, but Lee/Barnes could have netted something real nice.

ay homies. dat shit aint cool, but my teams da thunder ain't mad at it doe.

we need dat eazy finals run.

It's all about the matchup, IMO. We match up well with the Clippers and OKC but the Rockets aren't a good first round look.

Draymond has improved big time though, and him getting more minutes is what we need in the playoffs.

[YouGotServed]

These clowns weren't going to do anything in the playoffs anyway. The only bad thing that can come off of this is now the Warriors have an excuse when they get bounced in the first round.

"But look! We didn't have David Lee!"

:facepalm Injuries man, I'm telling ya.

:facepalm Aren't you the guy who thinks Rockets are making the WCF?

I think you posted this in another thread and I completely agree with you but hindsight is 20/20. People were hella hyped for Barnes last offseason, Warriors front office included :confusedshrug: and the DLee thing (is he good or is he overrated?) is very controversial in Warriordom.

It's not hindsight for me though...LOL

Just kidding...you never really know what is going to happen...I just don't understand the logic. Although they have been great with Lee this year.

Clippers aren't the Nuggets. Without Lee, we won't make it out of the first round.

true. green on blake diesel is not a good matchup

[SacJB Shady]

But now GSW has an excuse, so they have nothing to lose. Mark Jackson will still get to keep his position.

Yeah. Your point?

Case in point. :facepalm

[Artillery]

Warriors almost traded Barnes this year, right? Or am I remembering wrong.

[RoseCity07]

I think this helps Portland's chances at the 5 seed. I think Clippers are gonna tank the Blazers final game so Portland stays at 5. Then they can get the Warriors in the first round.

would still rather play the blazers

and anyway clips and rockets have it easier with warriors and blazers than the okc and the spurs who will have to play the healthy suns, mavs or grizz

I'm happy with the Rockets, Clippers, or OKC. I don't want San Antonio though. I don't think Portland can beat SA. Not with Stotts as coach. Pop would destroy him in the playoffs.

Lee lost weight in the off season. Someone on here said that Lee's body would be more fragile and he would be hurt. It turns out that that seems to be what happened. Lee lost a lot of muscle and wasn't strong enough to sustain the physical play.

Naw the Warriors need Lee vs the Clippers is they play them in the first round. The Nuggets from last year were perimeter oriented which favor the Warriors regardless. The warriors need Lee against the Rockets if they move up as well

[Solefade]

trade david lee for ryan anderson doe

or get al jefferson

[smoovegittar]

Knicks will give you Amare for Lee. Come home, Dave!

[andremiller07]

Didn't hurt them much last year and with the defence Jermaine O'neal plays while giving enough on offence I really don't think this is a big loss if you were going to lose one of your starters you would pick David Lee.

JO I think has looked great this season and he is a better match up defending the likes of Blake/Dwight/LMA or whoever they go up against. Even without Lee the Warriors can score enough imo.
