Alright I changed my mind. Knowing that Draymond should be back in a week or less, I think losing CP3 will help the team post-return as long as Kerr is willing to take the offensive hit that comes with Podziemski playing point guard. Deal with the offensive dropoff and start playing Moody more and with him and Draymond in the Warriors will be much bigger and better defensively, jumpstart their transition game, and restore their proven Curry+Defense winning formula.
A lot of whether they are actually going to be a contender this season depends on Wiggins getting it going, but perhaps if Wiggins has more defensive support behind it will help him establish a rhythm and feel more comfortable offensively.
I don't know how good it looks in the games where Draymond is also out, but whatever. It's time for Kerr to remove Podz' training wheels and see what happens, and this gives them a prime opportunity to do so.
