Warriors are a smart organization. I won't be surprised if they sell high on Wiggins in the offseason and get another stud.

Of course.

Who's paying up for Wiggins on a $33.6 million expiring contract?

Yeah theyd prob have to attach picks or Poole to get rid of Wiggins. That contract is one of the worst in the league. Yikes!

It probably would be worse for them on the Knicks with 10 times the media and fans than the Nets. Imagine all the Knicks podcasts constantly ripping Kyrie for not getting the vaccine everyday, and the Harden stuff.. The Randle thumbs down would be nothing compared to that.

Yah, plus Dolan empowered Melo and CAA a shat ton. He’d definitely empower Kyrie. Imagine if anti vaxxers tried to storm MSG?

Nets get away with a ton, now that I think about it. Joe Tsai, trying to get Morey fired for his words on Hong Kong. Kyrie’s antics. Ben Simmons drama. Steve Nash being a massive bum and STAT and D’Antoni quitting. DeAndre nepotism and firing of Atkinson. Then again, that’s what small market teams are like.

It’s not bad anymore, it’s an expiring that can single-handedly reset a franchise from one year to the next. Poole will retire a Warrior and I could actually see them ship Wiggins out and receive value in return, while also shedding big money.

Signing Ayton to a Max contract? That contract is one of the worst in the league. Yikes!

Yep. He’s not better than Steph, Klay, Draymond and Poole. Wiggins is just a mid role player getting paid as a max cat.

Yeah Melo just say you don’t really watch the warriors. He’s more efficient from the field than anybody along with guarding the opposing team best player.

But even if he’s the 5th best player, which I disagree, what’s the incentive for moving him and attaching Poole and picks to do it?

The warriors don’t make moves like this and that’s why they’re an elite organization

plus and minus? aka one of the worst stats of all time? :lol:

it's obvious you haven't been watching the games. Luka has been destroyng him. Luka is shooting 48% from the field and 44% from 3 when Wiggins has guarded him this series. so yea he guards the opponents team best player, but he does a bad job at it and gets torched :lol:


and you read what i said wrong. i said they should sell high on him. if you can move him without attaching assets it would be great, but it's likely other teams will ask for poole or picks because his contract is awful. it is unfortunate they are stuck with wiggins for another year who is blocking Kuminga from greatness.

Kyrie likely not extended
Ayton likely not extended

Dolan be like "can we sign these people? I'm willing to pay"
FO "No can do Sir -- we dont have cap space"

Has guarded him better than Mikal Bridges and Bojan Bogdanovic. Wiggins has been the best defender on him through three rounds so there's that. Luka also turning the ball over 4 times a game. Kerr even said after game 3 that they're not in this position without Wiggins defense and scoring. But hey I guess we see the game different.

Yeah I did read what you said kind of wrong, however, I still don't see the need to get rid of Wiggins. Kuminga will get plenty of playing time next season when Payton, Lee, and others become Free agents, unless they prioritize Payton.

Worried about my Warriors. Celtics and the Heat both play physical and we've been soft these playoffs. Hopefully Payton can get healthy..

Jayson should not have let Randle tutor him on how to beat the Heat D. That was $30,000 down the tubes.

Return to New York Knicks
