Being competitive and confident is required when you play the position Draymond had to play. He was the Warriors floor general and enforcer. He brought a lot of the rim protection and physicality that they lacked. They don't win rings without Dray. They don't get a 73 record season without Dray. You can't be a soft unconfident person and play the role he played.

Can't believe the Lakers let this dude and KCP walked for Westbrick. They were super dangerous running around hounding guards in the playoffs. If they have both of them this year, they may get past Denver. Back to form AD, Caruso, and KCP would be a crazy defensive lineup.

As a Lakers fan, losing Caruso basically for free was one of the worst moves we made. While the Nuggets would almost certainly have still beat us (especially without decent backup bigs to support AD), having Caruso guard MPJ or Reggie Jackson would've been such a big help.
