My number one issue with the Warriors right now is the lack of bench depth.

Here we go again.

Shaun Livingston
Andre Iguodala
Quinn Cook
Jordan Bell
Jonas Jerebko
Kevon Looney
Jacob Evans
Damian Jones

How many teams in the NBA have more talent on their bench?

Livingston and Iggy are a year older. Iggy barely finished the season.
Cook so far so good but only played small part of the season.
Bell so far so good. Did pretty good in the summer league and the playoffs.
Looney definitely improved his defense but still lacks any offensive skills.
Evans is still pretty raw. Nunn from the summer league showed much better offensive skills.
Jones is injured but will be ready on training. Hasn't showed anything special.
Jerebko nice signing.

The bench lack scoring for the exception of Cook. Even if we bring back McCaw he hasn't shown anything that he improved his game. Still scared to shoot the basket.
I am hoping the Warriors get a scorer like Beasley and Crawford that can get you 8-10 points a game. None of the guys on the bench are a threat to score or stretch the floor for the exception of Cook and Jerebko who is mediocre or average at best. Warriors are betting on a lot of their young guys to take their game to the next level.

Teams benches always have weaknesses. That is why they are on the bench. And no to Beasley and especially Crawford.

That is true but you rather sign Mccaw than Crawford or Beasley. McCaw especialty is defense he got cook multiple times last year there were multiple games he played 15-20 minutes and the only stat he has was 1reb or 1 ast and got burn on defense multiple times. I am just saying Jones and McCaw are a scrub I rather sign a proven Vet than those two sad thing is they been with the team for almost 3 years and hasn't shown any improvement on their game.

The Warriors need to get contributions from their younger players. McCaw and Jones are going to be on the roster and get minutes. The only question now is who the Dubs will sign for the last spot.

Jerebko good?

According to Slater they are just gonna leave the last roster spot open so total of 14 to save some tax money. They are gonna sign two of two way player to fill in the rest. It's the main reason why I am pretty critical on the last two spots on the roster McCaw and Jones. There are still other better veterans out there compared to those two.

As for McCaw I still haven't seen anything he signed. I think he is still looking for some team to sign him to a bigger contract or a multi year contract. Foh if I am the GM I woulda rescinded his offers already.

When you have Curry, Thompson, Durant, and Cousins (once he's healthy), you don't need much scoring from your bench. You can always have 1-2 of those guys out there as primary scoring options. Cook can score off the bench and they have a bunch of guys who can defend.

Unless Cousins gets in fights with teammates and destroys the team chemistry, the Warriors are very likely to win another championship.

No Beasley, but I wouldn't mind a year of Crawford.

Initially that is true, but this gives them the flexibility to sign another player at any time this year as well as the ability to promote one of the two way players to full time (ala Quinn Cook last year). I would not be surprised to see a full 15 player roster this year, maybe sooner rather than later. This leaves them open to fill a position of need in case of injury too, without having to release anyone. #Lightyears

I'd add cousins to the list of bench players as well.

I don't think he will start right away, and seems to have an understanding the staff will figure out his role as he returns and is fully healthy.

I still can't believe Cousins is on the team.

With the Leonard trade, Steph Curry is the only guy left from his draft class, still playing for his original team.

Crawford was one of the most inefficient players in the league last year, and he is 38 years old. Myers has been quoted more than once saying that he wants to get younger.

Came across the video and it still pisses me off. Warriors should have won this game. All part of learning how to win, especially on the road. I guess the W's have gotten their revenge since then.
