cement be added dive into multiple factors contributed to the Golden State Warriors exiting the playoffs earlier than they hoped for but the public

Rift between teammates Jordan pool and Dremont green that lingered throughout the season certainly didn't help with the eyes on the draft in their future the

question is can Dremont and pool coexist now according to reports the Warriors do not foresee a potential issue keeping both on the squad next season Steve

Curthle made a statement to the media saying if Dremont's not back we're not a championship

contender look at the numbers without Dremont last season the Warriors looked like it can politely

different team going three of six and scoring nearly 10 less points per game

all right bring my NBA guys back Ryan Winhorse JJ Reddick hello again friends a fresh hour let's do this again

I'm gonna start with you can the Warriors contend for a title JJ without Dremont on the roster

absolutely not Dremont is so important to everything they do on both sides of the basketball defensively

specifically what we saw last year was a non-alete defense from the Golden State Warriors they get beat at the

point of attack too much they foul too much they hovered around 15th all season long and defensive

rating and yet Dremont green had another elite defensive season like he is the anchor of that defense

when the when the Golden State Warriors have contended it's because they've had a great defense

you lose him with really no way to replace him you're not winning an NBA championship

I don't have the Golden State Warriors as the number one contender going into next season like Mad Dog King did yesterday

with his a list but there's still in a tier of teams in the Western Conference who depending on

what they do this summer with the draft and free agency around the edges I believe those teams can compete

and the Golden State Warriors are one of those teams but they're not winning without Dremont and there's no

way to replace Dremont if he does leave Wendy before you jump in I just remember the odds because we did it the

other day they're actually tied for fifth best odds to win the title with the Lakers Wendy

yeah I think the word contend we can debate what the word contend means but I think there's a

world in which Dremont was not on the Warriors and they could contend but what JJ said is so important
