Why The Golden State Warriors Do The Deal
Some will struggle to see the fit for Zach LaVine on the Golden State Warriors. To them, we implore you: use your imagination.
Yes, the Warriors will be stacked with guards following this deal. So what? In today’s positionless NBA, they can work with that.
Klay Thompson can comfortably play the 3. In all likelihood, he’d settle in as the Warriors’ new starting small forward. Meanwhile, Jordan Poole would be relegated to a sixth-man role. As a score-first combo guard, he’s well equipped for that role.
Furthermore, the Warriors could periodically lean into three-guard lineups. They shouldn’t hesitate to acquire LaVine on account of positional overlap.
