Paschall traded to the Jazz

Our bench got exposed in that Clippers series though, we also blew a lot of big leads.

Right. It's because we had no depth beyond the rotation and suffered injuries. That lack of depth also meant the Jazz had no counters.

Maybe this is an argument of semantics to some, but I see a huge functional difference between 2nd unit players and non-rotation players.

I agree and would add that we got beat in part because a rotation player had a career night and other bench players played extremely well in the 2nd half. Multiple things came together for the Clips that night.
 
Here's an interesting discussion about why Paschall regressed for the Warriors last year:

What's Paschall's ideal role in Golden State and is he ready to fulfill it?

One of the takeaways is that he does best in P&R and isolation situations. With Draymond and Steph back last year, neither of those two types of plays is prominent for Warriors. Maybe it will be better for Jazz?

Also thought it was interesting just poking around how many pre-draft prognosticators thought of him as a versatile, capable, energetic (if still imperfect) defender. Warriors were excellent on defense last year, so I'm not entirely sure why the defense seems to have stagnated/regressed for him.

Ehh. They did it two games in a row without their best player.

The Jazz had a worse team and it wasn't close.
 
We've added a lot of depth without losing many assets. I'm very confident that were a better team going into the next season.
 
If the Dubs flame out for whatever reason, Id be down for Bogey for Draymond. Don’t think they’d do it and I wouldn’t blame them but an O’Neale-Green-Gobert front court would be badass defensively, and I think Draymond could get Don to work far harder on d. I know he’s past his prime but dude is so good on d, passing, a solid rebounder…
 
I don’t know how much you can conclude about his defense. During his rookie year, the warriors were terrible. Last year, their defense started out horribly. He hasn’t had a great cast.

They didn’t start out as excellent.
 
I like this flyer. Especially for the price. Not sure he's better than Brantley, but I will take it. It's also kind of funny having in mind just a few weeks ago he was bugging Mitchell on a live stream asking him "When are you going to get out of Utah?" and now he's traded here :D
