What if the Warriors had suspended Draymond for the Poole punch and decided to trade Draymond instead of Poole? Do the Warriors and Poole play better without the psychological issues associated with the punch? What would the team look like this year?

What would the team look like this year?

It would be CP3 throwing lobs to Ayton that he pulls back down and shoots a 12foot baby hook.

the problem with the warriors outside of Curry that they are USED TO LIVE IN ALTERNATIVE REALITY.

That reality is called "cheat coding with the guy that is gravity himself and think that it's you who mean business"

That's a decade of "we can't show up when gravity is not on the floor". For some of the players on the team that rely on Curry heavily it's an easy cheat-code version of basketball that extremely fast becomes straight up impossible, because you used to cheat-coding i.e. lost skill completely when the settings have changed. You may think a whole lot about yourself but the IDDQD on Nightmare difficulty in Doom doesn't work even if you thought that you're a pro.

How many times it was that Embiid's teams can win when he's out, Giannis teams can win when he's out, Clippers can win when anybody of their stars is out, AD can win when LeBron's out, Boston can win if somebody's out, but the team that has a whole lot of all-stars are stuck for a decade when the "gravity" cheat settings are off
