I'm ready for some real changes on this roster -- and a new GM.

Also, it's time to let Kuminga start and find out how good he can be.


You seriously throwing shade at the FO on this? Are they supposed to predict the future and know someone in his family would need his support? They're actually doing a great job of protecting Wiggs and not making this the public's business.

Wiggins news seems to be grabbing some headlines.

MT just dropped his new piece on wiggins in the Atlantic. Unlike other pieces, he managed to include some unnamed players quotes.

They know why, inside that locker room. He has their grace. That says a lot.

“What he’s dealing with,” one player said, “is some real (expletive).”



There's alot more in the article, give it a read.

Congrats. You've kept it a big secret. That's fine. But acting like he'll be back in a few weeks when you know he won't? Not cool at all. Also, at some point, it WILL come out.

Meanwhile, while everyone pats themselves on the back for keeping the secret, the FO made no moves to get frontcourt help and the season is shot. The players know they're aren't winning squat this year.

Yes, I am throwing shade at them. Both Myers and Kerr made statements hinting that his return would be relatively soon. I have no issue with them wanting to keep this secret. I don't really care what his issue is but it is important to know whether he's coming back or not. In that regard (since they DO know what his issue is), they let of us down by acting like he'd be back. If as you said they can't predict the future, then stop acting like he'll be back when you don't know.

Those kind of quotes are just going to fuel the fire of rumors. I wouldn't be surprised if TMZ starts stalking his family.

You don’t know any details, maybe something changed with his situation and his status went from possibly coming back soon to a much longer absence.

I remember when my wife was dying of Cancer and finally died. That kind of sh*t can crush anybody. I'm not saying that's what's up with Wiggins, but if it's anything like that, you just have to give him and the Warrior organization some space. Stuff happens.

Still seems like some amount of speculation. Here's a link to what Myers said about that.

only if you subject yourself to social media and the need to know everything about everyone all the time. I have no problem waiting for him to say what has been going on.

I have no problem not ever learning what's going on with Wiggs. It's clearly extremely serious. The team is united in maintaining privacy regarding the matter. As far as I'm concerned, it's next man up...Time for Kuminga to step up.

No worries, I won't. It's awful.

Andrew is of Bajan descent like am, his mom is from Barbados and he made us proud when he won the title with you guys, so i was heartbroken for him. I hope he will be alright.
