Haven't you heard? Wiggins is the worst player that has ever played in the NBA, apparently. If he were paid $1 mill per year, that opinion wouldn't change either, he is hot garbage and should retire to teach knitting at old folks homes.


The way people talk about Wiggins you would think they'd rather have DLo and NO minny 2021 1st round pick. :crazy:

I think they’d have a better chance right now at Simmons if they still had Dlo.

I think Lacob absolutely cares about Wiggins salary and I think they’ll try to dump him after the season. Now, they won’t dump for just anything and they’ll keep him if they have to but I think they would prefer to move him.


Despite everything ownership, management, and coaching has said people still think the Warriors are straight up trying to cut salary regardless of the return.

He shot off of his palm. He shot his team out of games many times, but he was awesome when he was on.

Yes, but ownership wanted out of paying the repeater tax on a crap year.

No doubt that was a big deal. To be honest if it wasn’t for the repeater tax I think they don’t do the deal and now they wish they didn’t. I think they could get a deal done for Dlo, 2 for Simmons. Phily needs a pg that can shoot and Dlo is a much better fit next to Embiid. Curry, Klay, Simmons, Dray would be a monster core 4. They’d have everything. Oh well.

This is the problem I was talking about. Short-sighted decisions. We didn't need to take Wiggins, but we did. Now we are stuck with Wiggins. Best thing to do is try and salvage his value this coming season. Try and make him enter all defensive team or something

Better to be stuck with Wiggins than with DLo. No one but Minny was going to take DLo, and he was useless to the Warriors. Even if no one wants Wiggins he could turn out to be very useful for the Warriors. Plus there's that 1st round '21 pick from Minnesota.

Getting under the tax just makes sense and I don't think it cost the team much to do it. I'd MUCH rather have Wiggins and Minny's 1st than DLo.

I don't think Simmons is available, and I'm not sold that Simmons is far better than Wiggins for the Warriors. Still to be seen.

Bingo. And if it wasn't for Corona we'd have a lot more info on Wiggins right now.

It's not a sure thing that Philly wants to break up their duo. Can't wait around for that. Getting the trade out of the way kept them out of luxury tax penalties as well.

Oh geez. We haven't even seen Wiggins play with our full roster yet. He is poised to have his best year ever which would shoot his value up and take a year off his contract. Maybe its the homer in me but I think we have the pieces to win a title next year with a couple of key bench signings. Not that impressed with any other team in league right now to be tbh.

But if this year is our only opportunity to land Giannis... I guess I wouldnt be too upset. Despite the reputation, Wiggins looks smooth to me. Much better than Harrison Barnes and more ability on D with those long arms. HB had little trex arms.

I am almost sold on playing one game with Curry only (more like 2/3 game and out of shape one). GSW was in it with the champs until Curry got bench.

Salvage his value? We want him to play well so we can win a championship. He's a long, athletic, multi-skilled SF and that's our ideal SF. If he blossoms into the player the FO, Steve Kerr and Ron Adams thinks he's going to be we're not trading him.

Maybe Wiggins is crap this whole time because, well, he was in MINNE-FREAKING-SOTA?

I ain't saying he'll ever be an superstar (Maybe just an average starter), but I think he'll flourish in our system as everyone is held accountable. Kerr's job is to unlock his defensive potential, and I've seen glimpse of his potential in a couple of the 12 games or so this season.

Can't wait. If Warriors can't run Wiggins in Giannis in a trade, I WANT THEM TO KEEP HIM.

Keep Wiggins, Curry, Klay, Wiggins, Green .... the ball will be flying around...Wiggins will be feasting with open lanes.

Now that means we keep our pick....trade down to get 4 and take Deni and some additional player or future pick.

curry, klay, deni, wiggins, green (center spot barely exists folks...).

Still need to find a functional 7(ish) footer for defending the few lumbering offensive bigs left, and everyone on the team is going to have to crash the boards.

As long as we have a center that can start games, we can finish games with a LoD with Dray at center. Who is the 5th Beatle in our LoD? I think Paschall has a chance. Let's see how his defense evolves this summer but I like him, Wiggins and Dray as our frontcourt. I hope we draft a small forward, someone like Williams, Saddiq Bey or Avdija, who can give us a little more length behind Wiggins than we can probably get through trade or FA.

Got a link? Is that what they said? And afterward they denied it?

I just read the part where they denied it, but if they're not making money by holding events at Chase, then...???!!!???!!!
