2026-27 Regular Season Official

[Onus]

Also don’t trade a single pick.. the issue this team struggles with is commitment to a path. They have opted to do the nostalgia tour so just do that. Unless the team some turns into a 55+ winner, pushing any future assets out the door is just going to make the next chapter harder

Yea I don't feel like we should trade a 1st especially anything other than the 27 1st. But this team could be pretty good once they get Jimmy back. I still think a Steph/Yaxel/Jimmy/Dray/Podz should be a good lineup and can contend with anyone. Probably just need another wing to help us get there. But it's like damn do we really want to trade a 1st for someone who might not even close and the answer is probably not.

If Yaxel is able to keep up this play he's playing like a top 50/30 player, which means we'd have 3 top 50 players if Jimmy can come back to anything close to what he was. Add in Dray and Podz that's a really solid 5. But to get us to the playoffs we probably need a 3/d type wing to replace Gui in the starting lineup just so we can keep yaxel fresh for offense.

I’d see it as a money pit tbh

Curry, Dray and Jimmy playing 16 games in a row will be borderline impossible. And that’s if Jimmy is healthy and good, if they gel, if the depth gets it together… meanwhile MDJ does well with picks. If Yax keeps showing out, the team will need to start thinking about not wasting his prime, which is just a couple years down the road

IDK the 27 1st you're likely looking at role players unless you get a top 2 pick, but the top 2 picks have issues on their own that may make it difficult to win with. I trust MDJ making the pick but 27 draft just isn't all that great and if it's all that it takes to get a Herb is a top 10 protected 1st I'd do it. But I wouldn't trade any other 1sts at all.

It's too bad we won't get to see Yax vs. Ant, that would have been fun. For the skills, but also the epic ****-talking.

Yeah, I think the Warriors should win this one with Minny being down their best player and playing their 3rd game in 4 nights with an OT loss on Monday.

Still questionable on the 1:00PM injury report.

Went through his regular shoot around routine. So I would anticipate him playing. fingers crossed

I'm good with role players tbh. Since they refuse to properly rebuild, the least they could do is construct a solid foundation and rapport among the young guys. If they can land a high end role player in the 10-20 range, I'd rather go that route than pick up Herb Jones. Guys like Herb are a luxury that this kind of team could afford when Curry and Klay were wrecking shop.. much tougher as a foundational piece. So to me, he's a win now deal despite only being 28 or 29

Also, while its early, I like this draft a little more than most. Don't see any true high-end stars there, pretty bleak there really, but I'm seeing a lot of #2/#3 upside guys. Early standouts for me are Holt, Mullins, and Fogle.. but I'm keeping an eye on Diane, who might be Naz Reid-ing as we speak. If he gets disciplined and in better shape, he could be a long-time center in the league

This is realistically the last year for Steph and Dray to do anything. And if all it takes is a 27 1st to give them a shot to make it to the playoffs I'll do that. Add in that we get a major boost from Jimmy coming back and OKC being decimated there's no one in the west that will stop us from making the finals. In lieu of that I'd try to get multiple picks for 28.

Steph was killing the Wolves that year including the brief time he was in the playoffs. I'll always say we would have won if he didn't get injured. I also think Jimmy was what, 75% with his butt injury? A 100% Jimmy might have been able to win a game, as Thompson plays more the evidence gathers of him being a dirty player. As a big Jimmy fan how hobbled do you think he was?

This is why I don't think we should give up on this season. As we're seeing injuries can happen to anyone and any team, old/young injuries are indiscriminate in basketball. With Steph/Jimmy/Yaxel that's 3 top 50 players that's really as good of a chance as you can ask for. OKC is vulnerable and they're really the only team that has given us problems.

Steph's injury in 2025 was likely tied to the Olympics and playing more competitive basketball that summer than it was to being old. That was also the year Haliburton and Tatum tore their achilles. Jimmy's injury was a freak accident someone undercut him for a rebound, and then he got undercut again which tore his acl the year after. The runner's knee though is from being old and overuse but it doesn't seem to be affecting him.

Herb would be our best POA defender by a mile

One of the reasons he was attractive was that in addition to tenacious defense, he hit open 3s at a good clip.

That no longer seems to be the case.

He was a second round pick (#35). The last two full seasons he shot under 31% from 3. Last season he shot 38.3/30.9/80.6 at 28.4 MPG.

He's now 28 so we may be witnessing a decline athletically.

This season he's also shooting under 40% FG. That is not playable, especially in the playoffs.

Dumars is smoking something, wanting 3 FRPs for Murphy and 2 FRPs for Jones. Those days are gone, teams got burned trading a trove of FRPs and now with the Second Apron, teams are valuing draft assets more.

Look at the Warriors with the 11th pick of the draft. Don't trade away picks unless it's for a star. Hell even a top 10 pick in a poor draft class like 2027 should be a rotation player on this team -- maybe not a contender.

They still need to start winning some games with the current roster consistently but if they get to the halfway point and they're at .450 or so, with Jimmy's and maybe Moses' return on the horizon, they'll have a tough decision to make at the trade deadline, especially WRT giving up draft capital. Assuming at this point we never see Porzingis on the court again but impossible to know, but in any case, you can't count on him being there for a hypothetical playoff run.

You will see how they approach the season on these back to backs.

Do they load manage Steph on every one of these games? They will certainly sit Horford on the back to backs and maybe before the runner's knee, they might have played him in enough of the back to backs. If Steph sits on a back to back, Draymond probably sits as well.


Another possible option, maybe a long shot, is if the Clippers buy out Derrick Jones, who's an expiring $10.5 million. He's 29 but can make an open 3 at a good clip and his overall FG% is good so he can attack closeouts and finish on breaks still.

Steph leading the league in gravity at age 38! I've seen him draw attention of 2-4 guys at times, just an insane feat for a guy of his age. It was an absolute treat watching him bomb logo 3s last night.
