no he is the perfect tank commander. where else would you find a player that has -18 net rating?
Are we tanking or are we trying to stay mid? Who even knows at this point?

With Steph Curry on your roster, this shouldn't even be a question. However, with Joe Lacob running the show and everyone repeating the mantra, "we don't want to improve the roster," who the hell even knows.

I mean I know we're not tanking. At a minimum that would require trading Steph or that he "magically" gets injured and misses the rest of the season.

Are you sure? We continue to play Schroeder out of his normal role and heavy minutes even though he's quite literally tanking the team with his minutes. He's been the perfect stealth tank commander dragging us down and he continues to play heavy minutes.

You can't tank with Steph. I mean look we won last night. That is not tanking. A tanking team would have figured out a way to lose that game. We're squarely a mid team that ends up with one Lottery ball.
There's so many things we could do to actually tank and start a rebuild. We actually have valuable assets. Wiggins is having a good season. You might be able to trade him and actually get a pick back while taking back some **** contract. You could trade Steph for 4 first round picks. That's pretty much all you have to do. We'd lose nearly every game the rest of the way with those two moves.

It's only because Schroeder fouled out, can't tank without the stealth tank commander fouling out.

Steph was great tonight, love seeing him bring us to the finish line. He had 31 points on 21 shots, 8 assists and 1 turnover. Saw one comment in hereabout Steph "stinking it up" -- my god folks!
Weird officiating wrung out some of the joy, but we pulled it out.superunknown wrote:

Saw on reddit that it was 4 players at one point. Just insane!

Steph played 37 minutes. Kerr could have played him 32. There's just no way you can call this tanking. But I assume you're not being serious anyway.
I mean look. If this is tanking, add it to the list of things the FO and Kerr suck at.

Obviously they aren't selling parts to make sure that we tank, but playing Schroeder heavy minutes while he's being a clear negative has me questioning what the priorities are.

A team that's trading away something useful to the Warriors is going to view Schroder's value as an expiring, not as a tradeable asset. And if the plan was to pump his value by starting them, its having the exact opposite effect. Its much more simply explained by Kerr thinking that Curry/Dray turn the ball over too much and he wanted to play a PG with them, regardless of fit

I do think there are some teams that need a backup PG. OKC / Suns come to mind. Trading Schroeder to OKC for a pick can be part of a bigger deal to upgrade our front court.
I do agree starting Schroeder with Curry is not looking good, but benching him will decrease his current trade value even more. What other reason is there to continue starting Schroeder? I don’t think Kerr and coaching staff is that stupid with how frequently they shuffle the starting lineup in the past.
