Paschall traded to the Jazz

Warriors actually had a much deeper team than us last season. Paschall's 17mpg was only good for 11th best in Warriors rotation last season, and 8th best for the jazz .

We were 1st seed only because of the brilliance of our top eight guys. Our end of bench rotation had been hot garbage all season. Guys like Brantley or Oni would not ever see the floor had they played for the Warriors last year. Fighting for minutes against Draymond/Looney/Wiseman/Wiggins/Oubre, it's kinda a miracle that Paschall survived for as long as he had. He's playing only behind Bogey and Gay here so I expect him to get even more opportunities from the Jazz.

OK...I'm just going to ignore the obvious math plotholes to your analysis here. I mean...come on man lol.

No, it's not a miracle that Paschall was getting minutes at the start. That team did not have a bunch of good players. You could just as easily turn that around and say that Paschall temporarily getting 17 MPG shows their weak roster. The Warriors were only playing 8 guys during their playoff chase. Oubre and Wiseman were injured and Paschall still couldn't get a second of meaningful basketball during that time.

He got benched and they just dumped him. It's ok to admit that.
 
I think this was done primarily to appease Donovan. We gave up next to nothing for EP so I'm OK with it. If he can improve his defense I'll be happier about having him on the team. I get that he's likely replacing our Morgan or Brantley so I'm not upset about the trade but I'm more excited about our FA signings as I am about this.

A lot of people think he was misused in GS and that he isn't a fit but they never hated on him; they considered him to have role player potential which - if he can play consistent for us - works for me.

I said from the beginning that he was benched and salary dumped but ok... All i'm saying is that he would easily get PT here at the Jazz cuz our end of bench rotation was hot garbage. Not saying Paschall is great or anything, but he can't be any worse than the likes of Brantley or Oni.
 
What's really great about this trade is Eric told Donovan about 3 weeks ago on Instagram that he needs to get out of Utah.
 
Just going to point out that while Paschall did get a lot less minutes his per 36 min per game stats were better in his second year than his rookie year on a better team.
 
This has absolutely been my favorite move of the off-season. It may be totally irrational but I feel extremely good that he can be a rotation piece and eventually a starter.
 
Seems like he's a pretty mediocre rebounder. I think ideally you have a small-ball switching lineup of like Mitchell/Ingles/Royce/Paschall/Gay, but if Paschall cant rebound well it may not work.

You might be able to replace Ingles with a better rebounder. I think putting Bojan in there not only gives you a bit more rebounding, but also another offensive option (Bojan’s post game).
