Golden State Warriors nailing draft picks jumpstarted dynasty | Dan Patrick Show | NBC Sports

didn’t have a coaching resume we took over for Mark Jackson who was more defensive minded Steve came in and said no we’re going to shoot the three and they changed basketball here is Steve Kerr talking about losing Klay Thompson I just want to uh say thank you to Klay Thompson for 13 incredible years 10 of which you know I was there for um what he did for the team the organization for the Bayer for me personally we were going to miss clay um these things rarely go like you know like you want where you get to draw it up and execute it and everybody goes out together uh we were hoping that could happen but it didn’t you know we wish clay well but we love him and and we’ll miss him and um clay if you’re watching thank you for everything all right some nice parting gifts there some nice compliments for Klay Thompson who is going to the hall of Fame and you go back and look at how that roster was orchestrated and you go back to those three draft picks because you know Steph Curry Minnesota passed on him twice and he wasn’t great the first couple of years because he had the that bulky ankle injury and you know he was what giving you 14 points a game Klay Thompson 11th pick overall and I remember watching Pack 12 basketball and I just thought oh Michael Thompson’s son and then i’ go all right he can shoot now didn’t think that he was going to be the shooter that he ended up being one of the greatest Shooters in NBA history and then watching Draymond Green it’s tough to sometimes project when you’re great in the Big 10 because we’ve seen guys be great in the Big 10 and not they’re not great in the NBA style of basketball it’s just a little different there Draymond was one of those players where you watched and you go man he kind of does everything I just don’t know if he does anything really well and then people thought well maybe he can be a Dennis Rodman type play defense and rebound I thought all right and then he came in and he was far better than that and he’s going to the Hall of Fame as well this allows you to add players you can kind of pick and choose and then you get role players uh you know Harrison Barnes can be in there you can have uh who was it Stevenson was in there Andre Gala was in there like you just kind of you know adding pieces but you don’t need to add anything major and then they did when they were on the verge of losing to OKC and then Kevin Durant shocked us all by let’s go to The Hamptons come out here and tell me how much you love me and then I’m going to go play for Golden State and they ended up winning a couple of titles then he leaves they win another title and which I think is the most important title that they won because it was oh Steph needs Kevin Durant now without him they’re not winning anymore and then all of a sudden they won that title a couple years ago but you you have to hit you know the Spurs obviously you got David Robinson and Tim Duncan you know you got David because you were bad and you got the number one pick you got Tim because even with David being injured with the bad back you got the number one pick you somehow locked into the number one pick but you got to have Manu job and Tony Parker that’s what makes you a dynasty that that’s what makes you a formidable team keeping the pieces together then you have a Hall of Fame coach as well how having those players as great as Mike and Scotty were you have to have Horus Grant or Dennis Rodman or Tony kach you have to you know even with the Lakers you have to have role players with the dynasties all the Celtic teams the great teams you got to have those role players who understand what their role is and they’re able to contribute and if they don’t and they want to go play someplace else you’re able to kind of fill in the void yes eaten so like if you were creating a checklist of what a d has to have it usually starts at a draft it does for me because it makes it easier I have you under contract as opposed to I got to bring you in with a larger contract yeah you can’t really free agency your way into Dynasty yes I mean it’s hard to do that look at the Knicks now with what they did now they brought in Jaylen Brunson who was undervalued but Dante deenen like you’re getting guys that kind of fit who you are getting the right players instead of is saying hey we got to get a big ticket item and that’s always what you hear with the Knicks it’s like oh you got to go get that guy or you got to get that you got to get Dame Liller you got to get no you don’t have to if you draft correctly then that allows you to maybe have one or two big ticket items but I just don’t believe I think the days of having three true Stars I think it’s over
