Disagree. He's their engine. They'd still be very good though.

Yeah, he really bails them out a ton. Their offense can get bogged down pretty easily, then he'll take over for a couple of possessions and things open back up. They'd still win pretty easily against a good portion of the league, but I think they'd struggle against most top end teams and have a lot trouble in series.

The Warriors blew three lotto picks on Wiseman, Kuminga and Moody. Flat out botched em all.

Yet somehow they won another title in 2022.

Just like at Rutgers, this kid is so damn smart and smooth. I love the clip at :30. Third youngest player in the league IIRC.

This is like some Bucks draft black magic except to the extreme. If they hit on one of those picks they look so much different for the last few years and the next few.

Watching this Spurs team and they are a well oiled machine. Would agree with the talking heads that they don’t need to trade for Giannis nor will they. That said, it puts the heat on Houston to make a deal to keep up with SAS and OKC.

I do fault Horst for never coming up with a steal trade like SAS did getting DeAaron Fox nor finding anyone in the draft. All the Bucks org needed to do was have some stones to trade Dame for Fox at the deadline last February. Vivek would have done it.

He's like 4" off the floor but good for him (not sarcasm).

Silver won't be happy if the Lakers aren't in Vegas.
