Who have we been linked to over the past month?

Drummond
Beal
Gasol
Anyone else?

And we come away with nothing.

That's funny.

I actually haven't watched a game this season. Any comment in the GT's are based on the box score lol. I just make the GT thread and then lurk around to post the hammer thread on time lol.

And about $20M this year when Kemba and Lamb leave.

Also (while a risk because it’s before free agency) we have the ability to deal during the draft.

If Kemba is definitely coming back, we can then draft a 2 guard who can play some minutes off the bench or an athletic shot blocker at 4-5. Next year at this time- Trade our expirings for talent or sign a decent FA in summer 2020.
As long as Kemba returns I think we are going to be a lot better going forward. Devonte/Bridges/Monk can all make strides into good players too.


Thats next year. What's the point of watching this year then? There's half a season left.


Fighting for a playoff spot?
Watching Kemba break players ankles?
Bridges thunder dunks?
Monk becoming a consistent scorer?

We were not ever going to win a title this year with the Warriors built to dominate so not screwing up the future to barely be a factor is not appealing to me.

Well, if this is going to be our team for the rest of this year, I wish Borrego would get some more consistency and rationale behind his lineups. I think at least some of our problems could be fixed by finding lineups that fit together better and utilizing those lineups consistently rather than flying by the seat of our pants every game. I personally would like to see less Batum/Williams, more MKG. Maybe even given Bacon a shot again -- I'm not sure why he disappeared from our lineups to begin with. With the amount of wings we have, there's no reason we should be playing Batum as much as we are given that he plays without any energy and we can almost never count on him anymore. His passing doesn't make our offense any better when we inevitably hit those offensive slumps and he's too passive to be relied on to score, hell, too passive to be relied on to even take a shot most of the time. We can't continue to play him big minutes with him playing the way he has been.

Next year's draft might have two classes of players eligible all at once. That's something to think about should the worst happen and Kemba walks. We'd be a lot less likely to screw our pick up with a draft class that stacked.

What are the rules on a sign and trade? May have to go that route before all is said and done.

i been watching these dudes hover around 500 since the freaking bobcats. it just feels like there is no plan and if we have a plan we are willing to scrap the plan at any moment

Chobot was a disaster but did we completely kick analytics to the curb? The team isn’t bad but seems like we’re just winging it.

“Mitch, get us some help”

“Sorry Kemba, we couldn’t find anyone that would trade for Kaminsky”

I have to think if we didn't do the Dwight trade we would've been in a position to do something.

This is the first time in a long time that I feel completed gutted by this team. I have no hope whatsoever in their future at all.

"Mitch, don't hamstring us next year by trading our young talent and draft picks for a 34 year old that won't resign. I know you didn't sign MKG, Marv, Cody, or Batum to those long extensions that will start expiring next year either."

We should have been playing Frank in the meantime but whatever.

True, I wish we had just told him to stay home and cash checks until we traded his contract but hopefully Devonte becomes a viable player.

I feel like a Milwaukee-esque gift from the heavens that was Giannis in 2013 has to happen for us one of these days. Maybe the 2019 pick we were going to trade will end up becoming an allstar.
