107935, It's a big chemistry change for a team that just won 73.

And they came really close to back-to-back.

It's obviously a home run move, and it's one you really have to make if you have the chance... but it *does* change the team chemistry in a huge way, and it's gonna eliminate much of the Warriors' vaunted depth. And it might result in Bogut and Ezeli *both* leaving, when really I thought if they just added some depth in the interior they'd have been fine for another run. Now they get KD but lose all that interior play... who replaces them? Who sacrifices shots for KD?

It'll obviously almost certainly work out, because talent wins games, and one shouldn't overthink it (I'd bet on them in Vegas if the odds weren't going to be absurdly public)... but it will be a very different team in a lot of ways next year, and it'll be interesting to see how Kerr keeps the ship on course.
