Why the LA Clippers hold a key advantage over the Warriors in 2025 to 26. The Los Angeles Clippers might not have the youngest roster in the NBA, but heading into the 2025 to 26 season, they’re in a much stronger position than the aging Golden State Warriors. And for one major reason, depth. This off season, the Clippers doubled down on experience, adding Bradley Beal, Brook Lopez, and Chris Paul to a core that already includes James Harden, and Kawhi Leonard. After pushing the Denver Nuggets to seven games in the first round of the playoffs, LA proved their veteran group still has fuel in the tank. Now with even more firepower, the Clippers are positioned as serious contenders. While some critics have labeled the Clippers as an old folks home, it’s worth noting that the Warriors are in a very similar situation, just without the same level of talent across the board. The Clippers are deeper, plain, and simple. Next season, the Clippers will roll out a stacked lineup featuring Beal, Leonard, Harden, Lopez, Paul, Ivita Zubac, John Collins, and Bogdan Bdonovich. Collins at 27 is the youngest of the group and yet this team offers more balance and versatility than most. The Warriors by contrast are leaning heavily on a core of Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler, and Draymond Green. All in their mid-30s or older. And while Curry and Butler are still elite when healthy, that’s a big if. As ESPN’s Tim Bonto put it, Jimmy Butler tends to miss a lot of games and Steph is now 38 and has missed significant time as well. When those guys are healthy, the ceiling is high, but the Clippers are just deeper. They can go 10 deep. The Warriors are very topheavy and their top is old and injury-prone. The Clippers are built to withstand a long season. Depth isn’t the only advantage LA holds. They also have one of the best medical and performance staffs in the NBA, a crucial edge when dealing with the physical demands of an 82 game season. Compare that with the Warriors who currently have just nine players under contract and only one true center, rookie Quinton Post. Their wing rotation featuring Butler, Buddy Heield, and Moses Moody, is thin. If one key player goes down, their whole structure could collapse. The Clippers, on the other hand, are covered at every position. They have real centers in Zubac and Lopez. True point guards in Paul and Harden and a wealth of wings in Leonard Beal Collins, Bdonovich, Chris Dunn, Nicholas Batum, and Derek Jones Jr. If one star is sidelined, there’s always a capable backup ready to step in. Bottom line, yes, Steph and Jimmy might still be better individually than any single Clipper, but the NBA season is a marathon, not a sprint. And the Clippers are built to go the distance, even with bumps along the way. If Curry, Butler, or Green miss extended time, Golden State could be in real trouble. In a crowded Western Conference, that might be the difference between chasing a title and missing the playoffs entirely. Front office moves signal a shift in philosophy. What’s particularly telling about the Clippers off season isn’t just the names they added, it’s what those moves represent. The front office, led by Lawrence Frank, has clearly shifted its focus toward win now mode, prioritizing experience and playoff poise over long-term development. After years of dealing with frustrating injuries and playoff underperformance, this version of the Clippers feels like a team built not just to compete, but to end the franchise’s championship drought. The acquisitions of Chris Paul and Brook Lopez in particular drew mixed reactions at first. Both are past their physical primes, yes, but their leadership, high basketball IQ, and ability to perform in clutch moments add dimensions the Clippers have sorely lacked. Lopez offers elite rim protection and floor spacing, while Paul provides stability and playmaking off the bench or in spot start situations if Harden or Beal needs rest. Around the league, mixed reactions. The NBA world has taken notice. Some analysts have praised the Clippers approach as savvy, maximizing the final productive years of their aging stars while surrounding them with a balanced roster. Others, however, remain skeptical, questioning whether so many veteran players can stay healthy over the course of a full season. On ESPN’s NBA today, Kendrick Perkins expressed cautious optimism. I like what the Clippers are doing. They’ve got depth, versatility, and experience, but let’s not act like age ain’t a factor. They’ll need a load management plan and a little luck with injuries. Meanwhile, the Warriors approach has drawn heavier criticism. With limited roster flexibility due to their cap situation, Golden State’s decision to trade for Jimmy Butler, despite his injury history and age, has been seen by many as a gamble. The team is banking on one last championship run with their original core, but many insiders believe that window may have already closed. The Western Conference just got tighter. All of this is happening against the backdrop of a loaded Western Conference where the margin for error is razor thin. Teams like the Denver Nuggets, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Oklahoma City Thunder are all young, dynamic, and getting better. The Phoenix Suns have firepower. The Mavericks are retooling. Even the Lakers, flawed as they are, still pose a playoff threat when healthy. This makes depth and roster flexibility more important than ever, and it’s exactly where the Clippers hold the edge. Final thought, a season of no excuses for the Clippers. The 2025 to 26 season represents a now or never moment. This roster isn’t built to develop over time. It’s built to win immediately. If healthy, they have one of the most complete, experienced, and playoff ready teams in the league. Unlike past seasons where injuries or chemistry issues provided cover for underachievement, this time there are no excuses. And for the Warriors, the pressure might be even greater. If Curry and Butler can’t carry this aging roster, it could mark the official end of the Dynasty era in Golden State. One thing is clear, both franchises are gambling on the wisdom and experience of veterans, but only one seems prepared for the grind of an NBA season. Kendrick Perkins stands up for Draymond Green after harsh criticism. There aren’t 200 players better than him. Draymond Green might be one of the most polarizing figures in today’s NBA. After 13 seasons and four championships, debates still rage about whether he’s overrated, underrated, or somehow both. Some fans and analysts swear by his elite basketball IQ and defensive mastery. Others fixate on his lack of scoring and question his true impact. But if there’s one thing Draymond Green has never done, it’s fly under the radar. Kenyon Martin sparks controversy. Perkins fires back. Recently, former NBA All-Star Kenyan Martin stirred the pot when he claimed that there are 200 players better than Draymond Green. The statement quickly made waves across the NBA community, and it didn’t sit well with Kendrick Perkins. Now, Perkins and Draymond haven’t always seen eye to eye. In fact, their relationship has been rocky ever since Perkins transitioned into broadcasting. But even with that history, Perkins wasn’t about to let this particular take go unchecked. Kenyan Martin basically said there are 200 players better than Draymond Green. Perkins said, “Look, the one thing Draymond has over most of those guys is championships and not just one. He’s got four rings.” Then Perkins got specific. When you’re talking about basketball and what makes someone a better basketball player, Kenyon mentioned guys like Al Jefferson, Elton Brand, and LaMarcus Aldridge. Respectfully, Draymond Green is better than all of them. He’s one of the best defenders we’ve ever seen. And he didn’t stop there. Draymond is 6’5 in, maybe 6′ 6 in, and he spent most of his career guarding guys 7 ft tall. He’s been the anchor of a dynasty. That’s not about luck or just playing with Steph and Clay. That’s about heart, intelligence, and defensive brilliance. Perkins also acknowledged Draymond’s offensive limitations, but pointed out that impact goes far beyond points per game. Sure, those guys were better scorers, but scoring isn’t everything. Draymond runs the offense. He sets the tone. He makes the extra pass. He leads. That’s value you can’t always measure with stats. Draymond eyes a fifth ring and a Hall of Fame future. Despite the ongoing criticism, Draymond Green has one thing in mind, winning again. After falling short in last season’s playoffs against the upstart Minnesota Timberwolves and losing Steph Curry to injury at a critical time, Green is focused on one goal, a fifth title, and he believes the team already has the pieces to do it. The heavy lifting’s already been done, Draymond said recently. We added Jimmy Butler. That was the big move. Now we build around that. We figure out how he fits into the system and we go from there. While the Warriors haven’t made many splashy offseason moves beyond acquiring Butler, Green isn’t worried. Free agency is tough. Sometimes you make your pitch, but it’s not just about money. Players are looking for the right fit, opportunity, and culture. He said, “I think we’re in a much better position than people think.” Final word. It’s easy to look at Draymond Green’s box scores and dismiss his game. But when you zoom out and look at his career in context, the championships, the defense, the leadership, and the ability to anchor a dynasty, it’s hard to argue he doesn’t belong in the conversation among the game’s most impactful players. So, is he one of the top 200 players in the league? Absolutely, and then some. As Kendrick Perkins so powerfully put it, “You may not like how Draymond plays, but you can’t argue with results.” NBA community reacts. Is Draymond undervalued in today’s league? Kendrick Perkins wasn’t the only one who felt the need to push back against Kenyan Martin’s take. Around the league, players, analysts, and fans chimed in, many expressing frustration with what they see as a growing tendency to undervalue non-scoring impact in modern basketball. JJ Reic on his podcast made a pointed observation. If Draymond had averaged 18 points per game instead of eight, he’d be a top 30 player in everyone’s eyes. But that’s not what makes him special. His value is about winning, and we forgotten how to measure that. On social media, NBA fans quickly rallied behind Perkins defense, circulating clips of Draymond’s best playoff performances, his stifling defense on Anthony Davis, his key assists to Stephan Clay, and his leadership during crunch time. The narrative began to shift with many questioning how someone who’s been the defensive backbone of four championship teams could be ranked outside the league’s top 100, let alone outside the top 200. Inside the Warriors, Draymond’s role in the postsplash era with Klay Thompson now officially out of Golden State and Jimmy Butler joining the mix. The Warriors are entering a new chapter, one where Draymond Green’s voice and influence will matter more than ever. Steve Kerr recently spoke about Draymond’s leadership. Draymond sets the tone. He’s our heartbeat. No matter who’s on the floor, when Draymond’s locked in, we’re locked in. He holds everyone accountable, including himself. With the addition of Butler, there’s now a new emotional leader in the locker room. While some are curious how two fiery personalities like Butler and Green will coexist. Sources close to the team say both stars are approaching the season with mutual respect and a shared hunger to win. People think wheel but heads, Draymond said in an interview with the Athletic, but real competitors recognize real. I know what Jimmy brings. He wants to win as badly as I do. That’s the type of guy I want next to me. The bigger picture, legacy, not likes. Beyond the hot takes and debate shows, there’s a deeper issue at play. How modern basketball culture tends to overlook what doesn’t show up on highlight reels. In an era dominated by scoring, step back threes, and flashy dunks, players like Draymond Green, who influence the game through defense, communication, toughness, and basketball IQ, often go underappreciated. But within locker rooms and front offices, his value is well understood. One anonymous Western Conference coach put it bluntly. If Draymond Green hit the open market tomorrow, 20 teams would call. Maybe not for points, but for leadership, defense, and the ability to win playoff games. He’s a coach’s dream. Looking ahead, proving it one more time. Draymond Green doesn’t need social media approval. He doesn’t need to drop 30 points to feel validated. What he wants more than anything is one more championship. A fifth ring would not only silence his doubters, it would firmly cement his legacy as one of the most impactful players of his generation. and he’s making that clear with every move, every quote, and every ounce of energy he brings to training camp. I’m not here to prove anything to Kenyan Martin, Green said in a post-practice interview. I’m here to win. That’s it. That’s the legacy I care about. Final thought. In the end, maybe Kendrick Perkins said it best. You don’t have to like Draymond. You just have to respect what he’s done. There aren’t 200 players better. There might not even be 50. As the new NBA season approaches, one thing is certain. Draymond Green is far from finished, and he’s ready to remind everyone why his name still matters. Stephen Curry calls out Western Conference star as the most athletic player in the NBA, compares him to Russell Westbrook. Stephen Curry, one of the most iconic and influential players in NBA history, recently gave some major props to a Western Conference rival, naming him the most athletic player in the league today. The four-time NBA champion has carved out a legacy as one of the greatest to ever play the game. Just ask former all-star Jeff Teague, who boldly claimed Curry has surpassed Magic Johnson. Or even former US President Barack Obama, who included Steph in his all-time starting five. That’s the kind of respect Curry commands, not just from fans, but from legends across generations. Known for being a nightmare for defenders, Curry’s presence on the court is enough to make even elite defenders like Alex Caruso uneasy. But when asked who he thinks stands out most for their athleticism, Curry didn’t hesitate. In a recent appearance on the good YouTube channel, Steph named Jarant as the most athletic player in the NBA right now. I think pound-for-pound Jaw’s the most athletic guy in the league, Curry said, adding Russell Westbrook in his prime. John Wall before the injuries. We always talked about those guys as the most athletic in the league. Coming from Curry, that’s high praise. He specifically highlighted Morant’s jaw-dropping explosiveness, the way he can elevate and attack the rim with fearless intensity. Jamarant, highf flyier with something to prove. Despite his unreal athletic talent, Jamar’s recent seasons have been turbulent. Off-court controversies have at times overshadowed his on-court brilliance, forcing him to miss chunks of time and putting his career momentum on pause. Even last season, after returning to play, Morance’s name often made headlines for the wrong reasons, including a celebration so controversial, the NBA opened an investigation. But here’s the thing, we’ve seen what Morant can do when he’s locked in. He’s electric, mustwatch, the kind of player who can take over games and leave crowds speechless. As the next season approaches, there’s hope and excitement that John Morant can leave the distractions behind and remind the world why he was once considered the future of the league. And if you needed any more reason to believe in Morant’s comeback, just remember Stephen Curry, the greatest shooter of all time, sees him as the most athletic player in the game today. Curry’s comments sparked immediate buzz across the NBA community. Fans, analysts, and former players took to social media to weigh in, and many agreed. John’s combination of speed, vertical leap, and sheer fearlessness makes him a unique force, even in a league full of worldclass athletes. A statement that resonated. ESPN analysts discussed the remark on NBA Today, noting how rare it is for a player of Curry stature, to openly single out a rival, especially someone from a team that has given the Warriors serious competition in recent years. Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies have had heated playoff clashes with Golden State, and there’s no love lost between the two squads. Yet, Curry’s praise cut through the rivalry and highlighted a level of respect that goes beyond wins and losses. For Steph to say that about Jaw, that means something, said former NBA champion Richard Jefferson. He’s not just talking about highlight dunks. He’s talking about impact. Jaw’s athleticism changes games. Westbrook and Wall comparisons add historical weight. Curry’s comparison of Morant to peak Russell Westbrook and pre-injjury John Wall wasn’t just flattery. It placed Jaw in elite historical company. Westbrook known for his triple double dominance and relentless motor was once the league’s most explosive player. Wall before injuries derailed his career had a first step so quick it left defenders frozen. Morant brings that same kind of edge. But what makes him special, according to Curry and others, is how he combines that athleticism with creativity, body control, and an unshakable confidence. All at just 6’2 in. A pivotal season ahead. As the 2025 NBA season approaches, all eyes are on Morant. After serving a suspension last season and facing continued scrutiny for off-c court behavior, this could be a make orb breakak year, not just for his public image, but for the future of the Grizzlies franchise. Memphis has built its identity around Morant. His energy fuels the team’s fast-paced, fearless style. But after multiple controversies and a shortened season, the question now is, can he lead not just with flare, but with maturity? There’s reason to be hopeful. Morant has reportedly been working hard this off season, training privately, staying off social media, and focusing on getting back to peak form. Teammates and coaches have praised his renewed commitment and leadership behind the scenes. And now with a vote of confidence from a legend like Stephen Curry, Morant has an opportunity to reset the narrative. The league is watching. The NBA thrives on rivalries, storylines, and redemption arcs. John Morant’s journey from rising star to controversial figure to potential comeback hero has all the makings of a must-watch drama. If he can stay focused and let his game do the talking, this could be the season where he reclaims his place among the league’s elite. And if he does, don’t be surprised if Stephven Curry’s words end up sounding like early prophecy. Warriors miss painful final chance to reunite with 12x all-star as options dwindle fast. The Golden State Warriors enter this off season with a clear goal, find a veteran defensive presence to anchor their bench and bring stability to a rotation that lacked consistency last season. But instead of striking early, the front office has stayed quiet. And now one of their best chances at adding a proven leader is officially gone. On Monday, Chris Paul agreed to return to the Los Angeles Clippers, likely where he’ll close out his legendary career. For Warriors fans, it’s a bittersweet moment. It’s not just that the team missed out on Paul. It’s that they lost one of the last truly game ready veterans who could have made a real difference, especially on a minimum contract. As sports analyst Chris Brousard colorfully put it, Chris Paul going back to the Clippers is like Rake and Big Daddy Kane forming a hip-hop super group in 2025. It’s poetic, nostalgic, and packed with power, and it could have happened in the Bay, the one that got away. To be fair, Paul had made it clear throughout the free agency process that he wanted to be closer to his family in Southern California. That alone made it unlikely that Golden State could lure him back after his short stint last season. But now seeing him join a loaded Clipper squad alongside Kawhi Leonard, James Harden, and the newly signed Bradley Beal makes the loss even more painful. Paul might be 39, but he’s far from done. After 20 seasons, he announced this would likely be his final year in the NBA, and he wants to go out competing. Last season with the Spurs, he started all 82 games, mentoring a young roster and putting up steady numbers, 8.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 7.4 and four assists per game. Those are valuable numbers for any contending team, especially one looking to stabilize second units. What could have been in Golden State? Chris Paul would have been a perfect fit off the bench for the Warriors, especially to help offset the defensive lapses and streaky performances of players like Brandon Podzky and Buddy Heield. A minimum deal for Paul could have brought leadership, ball control, and an on-court coach who knows how to close games. Instead, he’s heading to a direct Western Conference rival. And with the Clippers adding Beal and the Lakers signing Marcus Smart following his buyout, the Warriors options for experienced, high IQ guards are rapidly disappearing. Slim pickings for the Warriors. Right now, Golden State’s most likely fallback appears to be DeAnthony Melton, who technically signed a one-year deal with the team last season, but was flipped to Brooklyn as part of a cap balancing move. Melton recently suffered an ACL tear that ended his season early. And while his defensive upside is appealing, his injury history raises serious concerns about durability. If the Warriors are serious about returning to title contention, or even just staying competitive in the hyperstacked West, they need more than hope. They need proven players who can step in and contribute immediately. Paul could have been exactly that, a bittersweet ending for Warriors fans. Seeing Chris Paul reunite with the Clippers and likely retire there stings for more reasons than one. Not only did the team miss a chance to strengthen its core with a future Hall of Famer, but they also watched that player land in the lap of a conference rival that’s already deeper and more dangerous than ever. It may have never been a sure thing, but in an off season where the Warriors have made more headlines for what they haven’t done than what they have, missing out on Paul feels like a missed opportunity they may come to regret. Fallout and frustration in the bay. The ripple effects of Paul’s decision are already being felt in the Warriors fan base and front office. Social media lit up with reactions ranging from disappointment to concern. Many fans had hoped the franchise would move with more urgency this summer after falling short in the 2024 playoffs. Instead, Golden State has been largely inactive, watching high IQ veterans sign elsewhere while their own depth chart remains in flux. For a team still trying to squeeze one more title run out of the Steph Curry era, time is clearly running out. And now with Paul off the table and Marcus Smart joining the Lakers, the options are thinner than ever. The free agent market for veteran guards is drying up quickly. Insiders have reported that the Warriors were quietly monitoring the situations of names like Kyle Lowry, Dylon Wright, and even a possible trade route for TJ McConnell, but none of those moves have materialized. And as the Western Conference continues to load up, the Warriors risk falling further behind. Front office pressure mounts. It’s no secret that Warriors ownership has been under increasing pressure since the departure of Bob Meyers. While GM Mike Dunlevy Jr. has shown flashes of vision, like last year’s acquisition of Buddy Heield, the current offseason has brought more questions than answers. Can this team win with its current roster? Is the front office prepared to make bold moves to extend the championship window? Or are they heading toward a soft rebuild without saying it out loud? The loss of Chris Paul, a player who already had chemistry with the Warriors core, only intensifies those questions. Meanwhile, the Clippers are all in. On the other side of California, the Clippers are making a very different kind of statement. By bringing Paul back and adding Bradley Beal to an already stacked veteran core, they’ve signaled their intention to go allin for a title this season. Yes, injuries have haunted the Clippers in recent years, but if healthy, this is a squad with elite offensive firepower experience and now a future Hall of Fame point guard looking for a storybook ending. With Tyoo at the helm and a deep bench behind the stars, Paul’s return could be the missing piece that finally pushes the Clippers over the top. What’s next for Golden State? For the Warriors, the next few weeks are critical. They’ll need to act swiftly and smartly to address glaring holes in the rotation, especially if they want to compete with powerhouses like the Nuggets, Suns, Clippers, and even the Retoolled Lakers. One possibility being discussed internally, according to league sources, is reuniting with veteran Contavius Caldwell Pope or exploring overseas options for backcourt depth. However, these would be stop gap solutions, not game-changing moves. It’s hard to shake the feeling that the Warriors let something slip through their fingers with Chris Paul. He wasn’t just a veteran with playoff poise. He was a familiar face who already understood the system, had the trust of Curry and Draymond, and could have brought calm to the storm when the offense stalled. Instead, that calm and that experience will now be wearing Clippers blue.
