that **** is beneath him, and he could probably coach the team better than Lil Kerr

Yeah it was sooo obvious. Gigantically so. Plain as the nose on your face.
That's why he was taken 12th and the 11 teams with the highest picks all passed on him.
Add Haliburton to the other obvious picks the Warriors (and over a third of the league) missed like Giannis and Jokic and Paul George and Kawhi and... and...
Armchair gms with 100% hindsight just stating the obvious.

Would you categorize Devin Vassell as a "missed opportunity" for the Dubs? You liked him enough to take his name as your forum ID.

Stop with the silliness. Of course not.
Taking Vassell at 2 would have been a massive stretch just like taking Haliburton at 2 would have been a massive stretch.

Simple question then - Given your preference of Devin Vassell, were you the Dub's GM, what would you have done with the #2 pick?

Trade back. Everyone would have traded back. The Warriors were publicly trying to trade the pick. There was interest in the pick, not much, but some. The Warriors weren't going to get an unprotected future pick in return or anything like that. But someone offered something for #2.
Yet we kept the pick. I have my theory as to why that happened but nobody really knows.

I mean we've been through this so many times. It's amazing you could be so clueless. The OBVIOUS answer that literally EVERYONE here knows is that Joe Lacob always wanted a "legit 7-footer" like James Wiseman. Period. The End. Finito.
But I'm sure your response is "ehhh, you don't have any proof" LMAO just like always a moron

I'm one of the main proponents on this board of the idea that Lacob forced the Wiseman pick. You could have just asked me.
Can you please have the composure to refrain from calling me or anyone else a "moron" or any other insults? I know you thrive on conflict but everyone else is just trying to have a nice conversation.
I don't think anyone who is at all serious has ever suggested that Bob Myers or Steve Kerr or others in the Warriors organization weren't as high on Wiseman and Lacob (or his son, Kirk, for that matter) simply put his foot down. I think people have considered the idea that Lacob, as the final-say guy when it gets down to it, was surely emphatic in his Wiseman enthusiasm, while carrying significant weight.
This is standard speak. And Lacob isn't lying here. Again, to a man, the Warriors raved about Wiseman's talent from day one. To think Lacob went into the war room and demanded Bob Myers draft Wiseman when everyone else wanted Ball, or someone else, would be a work of fiction. The truth is that Lacob wanted Wiseman badly. So did everyone else. The Warriors perhaps made the mistake of thinking too much in terms of roster need than the best overall player, but that was still a consensus strategy.
