The Kings’ blockbuster decision to sign DeRozan in a sign-and-trade will give Sacramento another superstar to join Domantas Sabonis and De’Aaron Fox, giving the franchise the talent it needs to win its first playoff series since 2004.
The Warriors also made plenty of moves this offseason, with Golden State parting ways with franchise cornerstone Klay Thompson and acquiring Buddy Hield, Kyle Anderson and De’Anthony Melton.
Barkley there is a lot of criticism the Warriors, consistently attacking the team over the past 10 years. The longtime NBA commentator labeled Golden State a “shooting team” — a nickname they disagreed with — saying they would never win an NBA championship during the Warriors’ 2015 title run.
Even now, Barkley believes the franchise is finished as a competitor and will be mediocre next time season, unable to compete in the deep and talented Western Conference.
You can bet that even with your retirement from broadcasting imminent, the Basketball Hall of Famer will continue to attack Warriors and Golden State fans.
