Igoudala signed with Warriors because two of his closest friends were best Warriors player and Warriors head coach.

Whole Nuggets- Warriors series before free agency is one of dirtiest sports stories . Mainly because of Igoudala himself.

He still goes on podcasts and sell bulls*** how Curry was "trashtalking" to him, where ex Nuggets players and coaches said he was out there going to dinners with Jackson ,Green; Curry after games. Just straight up mole.

Iggy was attracted to $50M , big, booming market, better team, more sucess and ..two close friends.

Fact that Igoudala still holds grudge against whole nba in Jackson's case, 8 years later says a lot about their personal relationship.
Golden State had the loudest fans in the playoffs and remember vividly Iggy saying that was a big reason he was signing there.

He also had way better offers.

on West alone, Kings and Jazz have/had louder fans.
He turned down Kings better offer.

So it's not loud fans that he cared the most. He had his reasons... probably prefered Jackson & Curry who he was close to over other alternatives. Especially after he *probably* snitched on previous team to help Warriors advance.

Someone has an opinion, tries to point out things as it happens during the game—continually by the way—to validate that opinion and they’re a troll?

lol Come on guys… My last comment that he sucks was definitely foolish, but all my other points are reasonable—EVERY TIME trying to layup or finger roll instead of playing like a 6’10” big, his low FG on volume shooting, his whiny/moping after weak takes and not getting back… He’s talented, he is not a player to build around as your number 1….

We have a 6'10" 250 pound POWER forward and coach Mosley has him camped out at the 3point line or trying to drive past everyone including guards. His bread and butter has always been elbow faceups and postups.

I'd also like to see Paolo+Fultz vs Paolo+Cole stats because I'm not sure Fultz is helping Paolo out there. I have a feeling something is going on there but haven't dug into the stats.


Would love if they ran a PR for Fultz and Paolo and actually give Fultz the green light to score first… I think it’s so basic but would be so productive…

I always believed when staggering lineups it would be Paolo with Cole and Fultz with Franz, unfortunately Mose went the other way and I can understand why. But I honestly don't think Paolo and Cole play together that much besides a min or 2 per game, so don't even think there is enough data.

On the contrary, have said positive plenty of times… I actually want to be wrong, there’s nothing good about being right in this aspect—been a die hard for my entire life… I just don’t think growth comes so much in maturity or “game character”—the raw you will always come out… Not thinking he needs a ton of growth in his skill set per se…

Open to an example of a growth in terms of game character (effort, killer instinct, complaining)…

Less emotional players like Duncan also carried teams to victories. Banchero carried Duke as a freshman so i am not sure if he cant lead his team to victories aswell.
Yes he has his flaws, but he can create good looks and he has elite tools. Thats a very good package for such a young player.
My money is on Banchero going number 1 !
