warriors playing games: the saga continues

LOL way to go out there on a limb. Warriors most interested in three players that have been the consensus top 3 for a minute. Great reporting right there.

SUPER SLEEPER. Not sure if I posted him before but this is Naji Marshall. He does it all (and might be as talented as SaDDiq Bey). Only problem is he's clumsy lol. He has like Grant Hill skills but he falls all over the court like Shaq lol. Hes like a poor mans Saddiq bey. I guess you can call him Naji bathtub lmao. jk. He is a sleeper tho just kinda clumbsy. I truly think Malichi Flynn and this guy would be a great draft for the knicks

Naji Marshall

Can't have it both ways. Either they're high on Avdija and not high on Wiseman or they're setting a smokescreen that they're high on both. If they're setting a smokescreen then why this?

MJ personally visiting Edwards with Buzz Peterson in tow makes me nervous. I had hoped that MJ learned his lesson from the Cho days about the dangers of having too many cooks in the kitchen. He needs to let Kupchak make this call.

Owners always have the ultimate power. Always. There's no argument that Jordan is an inferior judge of talent - which, I think is because he keeps wanting to see himself in others (see: Kemba Walker) - and should let Kupchak do his thing. But he owns the thing and will always have the ultimate say. Just call it the Jerry Jones disease, from which there is no known cure.

The Ringer loves Tyrell Terry. Says he has all the tools to be at worst a secondary play maker to close games and O'Connor can't understand why he's not top 10. UNCNYC might he on to something

Yes lol. I think Terry is the most talented player in the draft. I think if we trade with the knicks and get them to throw in a future 1st we walk away like Bandits.

Terry has it all. Smart both off and on the court
Enough star appeal
Great shooter
Gets his own shot
Good defender
Good passer

Needs to add size which he has. Pretty much the same size as Ja Morant

Braggins · Post #1591 » by **Braggins** » Thu Oct 29, 2020 8:51 pm

For the record, I also like Tyrell Terry. I think top 10 could be a stretch, but I think hes a solid mid to late 1st guy with sneaky upside.

Anyways, do we know which of the top prospects are going to be doing individual workouts? It looks like Ball isn't doing workouts.

Read on Twitter

Maybe Ball's camp is desperate to keep teams from seeing his jump shot.

Surely everyone has seen it and is aware of it by now!

If the interwebs almost broke down with the footage of Vassell messing around with long jump shots then I'm pretty sure everyone is very mindful of Ball's jumper!!

Yap Tyrell Terry has fans. Yosemiteben, Braggins, Amcoolio and UNCNYC. We are kinda like a fake version of the 4 Horseman lmao

UNCNYC · Post #1594 » by **UNCNYC** » Thu Oct 29, 2020 11:11 pm

If you are a Tyrell Terry fan today is your last day to submit your application. You can do it via mail in ballot. Online voting is not an option due to Terry having too many fans and the site crashing lol.

UNCNYC · Post #1595 » by **UNCNYC** » Thu Oct 29, 2020 11:17 pm

We should trade for pick 8 and select Terry

Then select Joe with 32.

Terry / Martin
Joe / Martin
Miles / Batum
PJ / McDaniels
Biz / Rashaun Hammonds

We shop Zeller, Graham, Rozier, Monk and the future 1st.

I'm a fan because he's gained in size. 6'3 174 is better than 6'2 155.

Warrior fan dropping by....

Agree. It makes no sense for the Warriors to hype up Deni or other guys that aren't considered top 2 or 3 IF they plan on trading out of the #2 pick. No sense.

Nationally it's easy to say "doh...Warriors need a big guy". Warriors KNOW that the modern NBA and the key to their 5 finals runs was the versatile SF/PF combination. Small Ball, Death Lineup - that had nothing to do with a lumbering 7' rookie that can't guard your mother (or mine) on the outside. Wiseman, IMO, is the most attractive bust since Anthony Bennet.

IMO, Warriors will attempt to trade out of 2 to 3 - 5 and take Toppin. I like the trade with Chicago getting Wendel Carter Junior and their pick for the move up.

BTW, the only player Warriors have said nothing about (as far as I know) is Toppin. Now THAT makes more sense - Warriors are talking up Deni and other's in Toppin's area so they can get Toppin if the Warriors trade down to 5-6.

Wolves fan Dropping by. I'm sure the Warriors assurance to Charlotte that they don't want Wiseman would just be taken by the Hornets in good faith............... NOT!!. The Hornets want Wiseman they have to trade up to #1.

KGdaBom · Post #1599 » by **KGdaBom** » Fri Oct 30, 2020 4:57 pm

Hey Hornets fans. Do you believe the reports that Wiseman is the guy you want?

Conceptually it would make sense, but historically with Kupchak (and Cho before him) we've had no idea what they were thinking before the made their pick so the fact that it's out at all makes me think it's not true.

Stuff doesn't tend to leak out of our FO.
