If I was GS I would be calling. Plumlee is a perfect fit for a GS 5. Good passing big man, good rebounder, really good screen setter and a solid defender. Obviously Looney would still be the starting 5, just think having Plumlee coming off the bench would be a great fit for them.


he would be a bit of a luxury but goo injury insurance. Looney and Draymond will likely play center for them in the playoffs.

Oh ya definitely a luxury move. But one I would make if I was GS if I felt like another championship was in the window this year. Because one thing Plumlee does bring which they dont have (unless you count Wiseman), is a big strong athletic big. That can come in handy depending on which matchups they get in the playoffs.

I could not be more happy with how great Rubio has looked since coming back.

Good one in Washington, Steph got it going and the Dubs are up 2 with 5 minutes left.

Edit: Warriors get the win

And people were actually suggesting we trade Darius Garland lmao.

This is why he's so valuable to our team.

Second straight game where a player inexplicably fouls the opponent in the closing seconds of a game that his team IS NOT losing. What the heck is happening? :lol:

Most important play of that Warriors game was when Steph got mad at Lamb and the Dubs knew they had to get their ish together.

I have no idea how a team can allow a coast-to-coast dunk like that at the final seconds of the game. This type of play shouldn't force OT. That's grabbing defeat from the jaws of victory.

Walker Kessler is fun to watch.
"Thibs called back and wanted more picks," said Jorge Sedano. "And Pat Riley, literally, I was told, called him a mother-bleeper and hung up the phone."

Good win Raps fans congrats!

Brunson had a good look at a potential game winner but it just didn't drop.
