Why The Golden State Warriors Do The Deal

Following this deal, the Golden State Warriors would be virtually guaranteed the best defense in basketball.

In fact, they’d be pairing the two best defenders of their generation. For a long time, if Rudy Gobert didn’t win Defensive Player of the Year, it was likely that Draymond Green did. Imagine the two of them together?

They could be unstoppable. With Draymond as a free safety and Gobert in drop coverage, avenues to generate buckets would be hard to come by for opposing defenses. Furthermore, Gobert makes sense in Golden State’s offensive system. He always ranks among the league’s leaders in screen assists.

That’s a quality this team covets in a big man. Furthermore, as strong a 2021-22 season as Wiggins had, he’s replaceable. The Warriors can find a 3-and-D wing on the open market, and afford more reps to Jordan Poole to replicate his shot creation.
