Looks like PBJ went to the Wizards as part of the Chris Paul trade as well. I wonder if that was always the plan, or if the Dubs saw this as an opportunity to get back into the 2nd round...

No way, that’s amazing! Now I’m excited! I think today we undoubtedly got a bit better, added some vet savvy. stability, shooting, a little size, and some upside, while not moving Kuminga or Moody. ‘A’ grade for Dun and the FO so far. Would have preferred maybe Sheppard to Podz but overall, not bad. Now let’s see if MDJ can nail some vet min contracts to fill holes.

Good motivation to prove everyone wrong, I suppose.

I think the 2nd unit will have a whole different offense with Paul running PnR w/Kuminga & TJD.

I'm guessing it was contingent on someone they wanted being available at 57.

This was a good trade IMO, but I just don't like the asset usage going back to last season. At any rate, from where the roster was, this looks to be a plus.

The trade as a whole depends on either what CP3 can give us on the court or as an expiring contract in trade.

Lakers fan coming here in peace. I watched every game TJD ever played in at Indiana and I think you guys got the steal of the draft. Awesome pick. Can't believe he slipped to #57.

asset mgmt has been horrendous, selling low on both Wiseman/Poole, trading last year's 1st for a late 2nd this year...just poor planning across the board.

Yeah. I will say this, if we had traded PBJ for #32 and taken TJD, I wouldn't have such a strong reaction even though in the end its the same net result. But yeah, #57 is the type of pick you get by trading away a future 2nd or a small amt of cash so it stings more.

Trayce is absolutely incredible. I love him for us. After watching his highlights hes basically everything we wanted Wiseman and Kuminga to be.

at least mdj doesn't believe in sunken cost fallacy. cut bait on pbj quick in favor of TJD

DevinVassell · Post #14 » by **DevinVassell** » Fri Jun 23, 2023 5:37 am

Never thought #57 could get me so excited. Love TJD like everyone else. Warriors finally, finally get some size and a 4yr player who Kerr might actually play.

Outside of missing Hawkins this is a great draft for mine. The GMLeavy legend grows!

Its actually really good asset management.. Dubs were on the hook for PBJs guaranteed first-round deal, when he wouldve spent all of it developing vs contributing (and they shouldve traded out) and now they arent. MDJ has been on the ball so far

I don’t see him having a role in today’s NBA. Seems like a mini salary dump to me.

Yeah it's not great asset management... but Dunleavy wasn't the primary on all those decisions. The problem is that we'd have too many young guys and not enough PT. If you take TJD but keep PBJ, is PBJ just playing in the G-League all next year? TJD is 23 and looks ahead of PBJ in terms of being able to play in the NBA and defend. As sweet as PBJ's jumper looks, it doesn't take long to look at 10 mins of TJD footage to see that he can do the basic finishing/cuts around the rim with a move or two that we sorely lacked, and a bit of rim protection. PBJ was just too weak on defense to realistically be getting enough time yet, as amazingly sweet as that jumper looked (and I WILL miss him).

Definitely. Tick tock on the core, we got the exact type of guy I was hoping we for -- a tall older guy at 6'9 who can hold his own and looks like he could make some contributions off the bench this season. Basic finishes and defense, man we could have used some of that vs. the Lakers, there were so many easy buckets Steph set up but we had nobody to make the finish. Steph draws a crowd many feet from the 3pt line and somehow we can't convert at the rim, it was maddening. No idea if he can actually hack it for us, but it's worth a shot as I doubt PBJ was getting minutes and we are running out of time here.

Good job Dunleavy.

Asset management is horrendous but while grossly mismanaged, are a sunk cost at this point.
However, we also need to account for the win for Lacob's money. What is the difference between the 1st and the 2nd round contracts times 6, while may be possibly getting better player and better fit. It's like what difference will it make over time what the Niners paid for Lance if Purdy will become Tom Brady. Wouldn't they have paid the same price for Purdy if it was known he is the next Brady?

Trading PBJ for TJD is not a mismanagement because when you are drafting PBJ you are not anticipating drafting TJD. So you are basically trading an asset for hopefully better asset in terms of the need and fit. While saving money, big factor if you ask Lacob.
The real horrendous mismanagement of the assets is when you are screwing the draft that is right in front of your nose and you are in control of it. Wiseman instead of Wendell Carter and Hali and Kuminga instead of Wagner. PBJ, although first rounder, was at the very end of it, far from the lotto pics. No big deal whatsoever to trade him for anyone at any point if you supposedly bettering your team.
Trading Wiseman for peanuts is a totally different story on asset mismanagement.

He's not really known for his size. He has good size if he was a PF but is positionally locked into the Center position. With Looney and Draymond also being essentially non-shooters, it's difficult for me to see him having a lot of playing time early on. The hope should be to have him ready to contribute on rest days and down the road.
