Golden State Warriors: The Issue of Jason Thompson

For a few years prior to the 2015-16 NBA season, the Golden State Warriors were stuck with a dilemma, and his name was David Lee.

Lee, 32, was once a cornerstone for the Warriors franchise following a sign-and-trade deal with the New York Knicks. A double-double machine, Lee provided the team with roughly 20 points and 10 rebounds a game, giving the fans something new to believe in after “We Believe” had come to its unfortunate conclusion. He was a fan favorite for the five years he was in Golden State, acting as the team’s premier offensive presence in both the low post and in the pick-and-roll.
