Message: [QUOTE="Horn88, post: 3010597, member: 7087"] The stat I read that stuck out to me was entering 14-15 Steph/Klay/Draymond cost 14.5M total which was 22.9% of the cap. Entering 19-20, Steph/Klay/Draymond will cost ~91M and will be 83.4% of the cap. I don't think they'll be able to afford a Barnes type replacement. Those three were so cheap they could build out a great supporting cast and part of what made them so devastating was that not only were their starters dangerous but their bench would come in and could go on these mini spurts to blow a game open. But now Iggy, Bogut and Livingston are older and they don't have any money to get strong veteran role players like Speights, Barbosa, Rush, etc. that helped make them so dangerous. I'm obviously very/too bearish on a Durantless GS but I think they'll see a major drop off if he leaves. He just does so much for them on both ends and they won't have the resources to beef up the supporting cast to offset his departure. [/QUOTE]
