He's an aging player that's slowing down. On top of that he's not a good fit for just any team.

Cant score. Can't shoot. Not a good rebounder anymore. Defense has really declined especially guarding perimeter players. Other than that he's really good.

Offense aside, I just don't think he has been engaged with the game enough while out there.

Trent Williams blowout vibes, but just the entire game. Maybe having Kristaps out there may help a bit

I said this to a buddy the other day. Roughly one out of every 4 or 5 games, Draymond's defensive value shows up. That is about the percentage of time that he truly helps the team (provided that game doesnt happen to be the one out of every 4 or 5 games where he has like 6 turnovers).

The job of Dunleavy should have been to convince a team that this defensive value would show up much more frequently in a playoff series than it doesn in the regular season....and to be honest, I dont necessarily think thats too big of a stretch.

But the point is moot as he will still be here this and next year.

Good at getting fouls and arguing with refs

If he's not gone next year, I hope they limit his minutes... come off the bench and be that 6th man like Iggy use to be

I hope he has something left for the playoffs (if we can get there)

FO did him a solid... he'll get more playing time and grow. Here with Kerr, he was only going to grow gray hair

But I want to see one of him knocking out Dray, Podz and Kerr!!

I was a little surprised by this trade. I always felt Davis looked pretty good when he played but for some reason he didn't see a lot of playing time. He waqs always around the basket which is something the warriors need more of. They're too reliant on 3 point shots.
