Anthony Edwards and Andrew Wiggins aren’t extending anything. Especially Wiggins and the contract. Gordon is a better player on a much better deal. Take Gordon and Ross and draft Patrick Williams at 15 and the Warriors are a better team instantly.


Gordon is a severely worse offensive player and shooter than Wiggins. They are similar defensively We lost KD a 28 ppg scorer and got Wiggins that can give you 22ppg while playing good D and passing and probably can hit open shot which is better than the production you get from Gordon that gives you 14ppg and will brick most of his jumpers

We need more sure things and spacing on offense. Especially in this 3point shooting league. You think the Mavs would be able to tango with the Clips if they had any less of the shooters they have? A combo of Wiggins+Wiseman is better than AG+Ross. Bro that's just terrible value to move from #2 overall. We need more picks from them

Wiggins is ass and the Warriors don’t want Wiseman. Gordon is an better player than Wiggins and can defend the big wings and power forwards in the death lineup. And his contract is so much better it’s laughable. I’ll take Gordon over Wiggins easily.

If you make the trade and get th eMagoc pick they can possibly get Williams who will be better than Wiseman. And Ross is a throw in to give you some
Minutes at the 2/3. Warriors are batter team with those guys. But again, that’s way down the line. They’re going for stars first.

Happy for Minny to get #1. Good for them and for GSW, as they will invest in playing that player when the losses mount and that will lead to a good pick for GS.

The report stated “likely”. That’s not what Woj said.

Now based on your behind the scenes contacts, I’d need to know names at this point because Betty from accounting doesn’t count, and she sucks at draft evals.


Yeah I’m certainly not giving names. Giannis wants GSW and GSW obviously want him but a lot of things have to happen. Step 1 was getting a top 2 pick. Mission accomplished there. Step 2 will be Bucks losing and step 3 is Giannis not signing super max and asking for a trade. Lots of moving parts there. If it doesn’t work out then the focus turns to Simmons or Embiid. They’ll take either one but I think Simmons is higher on the list. Plan C is Aaron Gordon. GSW don’t want that pick in any way shape or form. None. Just wait and see.


No offense, but while you may know some people who know Giannis, I doubt you are also connected to Warriors deal makers.

I know one guy and he has relationships with multiple nba players and nba personnel and a couple of them are with the Warriors. He’s giving me stuff here and there over the years and he told me about KD to GSW days before it happened but I didn’t really believe him. Won’t make that mistake again. The Warriors know Giannis wants in but they also know it’s still a long shot because Giannis will have to get nasty to get it done. The front office love Simmons, some of the players love Embiid and Myers really loves Gordon(obviously he’d take Giannis first).

If we keep pick, draft Wiseman. The potential is too high to not take.

If we trade, we NEED a rebounding/shotblocking big to deal with AD and Leonard. We looked tiny out there early in the season against the Lakers. Im personally not interested in any trade that doesn’t net us Giannis.

Myers eye for talent is definitely lacking if he loves Gordon for us. If we still had KD fine, AG can just be the next Iggy, but man we need scorers from every position on this team. It's a reason the Raptors are good, It's a reason the mavs are hanging on with championship favorites.

AG is no scorer whatsoever and Every team will guard us like the Raptors did in the finals. Steph is old now we cannot be depending on him to still carry all the offensive load.

Also we need rebounders and shot blockers if not we are not winning jack

That's what I proposed earlier, our #2 and maybe a future 2nd for their #8 and their first next year. No idea what they want (Ball?) or how desperate they are to move up though. But it's the Knicks so they may do something stupid. With #8 we have a good chance of getting one of Okoro, Okongwu, Toppin, or Vassel (among others). Knicks 2021 FRP would be an amazing asset to have if they're looking to trade.


Agreed. If we can swindle the Knicks for a future first I hope Myers goes for it.

Bob didn’t say that. Calling teams and talking trade doesn’t mean they want to trade the pick.


They 1000% want to trade the pick.


If they even 100% wanted to trade the pick they could trade it no problem. The problem is that they want to trade the pick for significant value in return and that value may not be available.

Yo If the trade this pick for AG, bob deserves to be gone


Not if it's #2 for AG and 3 Orlando 1sts.

What more? We gifting the Magic a free franchise player for a player that is not proven for us and have little odds of improving. Unless they give us 2 more future picks + their 15 or whatever that's a bad deal.


Wiggins and the pick for Gordon, Ross and the a pick is plausible. Something like that. But that’s way down the road. Lacob and Myers are going big game hunting first.



I’m sorry but That is an absolute crap return and looks like tunnel vision and trying to fit a square peg into a round hole, just to get something done. The only possible saving grace could be Orlando’s 2021 first rounder... on top of Gordon, Ross and their first rounder this year, but they are a treadmill playoff team that Will have added added a #2 pick. That 2021 pick won’t even be in the lottery.... SMH. I don’t even like Gordon more than Wiggins and Ross plus a mid round pick is just a crappy return. The dynasty is over if that is the crap leadership is looking at.

Aaron Gordon sucks guys. I would swap it for Wiggins just for the better contract, but I would never add any more value to it. He's not the missing piece we are looking for.

I like Simmons though. I think that he would work great with Steph and Klay giving him space. We would need a shooting 5 to maximize the fit (Aaron Baynes maybe?), but he's young, has great size to play the 3 (or the 4 or even the 5 in the small ball lineup) and is a great defender. He's also a good fit with Steph because he can be the playmaker while Steph plays more off the ball which is a plus

I watched quite a few Magic games this year. Aaron Gordon looked awful compared to how he looked a couple years ago...loose handle, screwed up shot, ect.

I’m all for trading the #2 pick for a star. Not for Aaron Gordon though. I’d only be interested in Gordon if the asking price was something like our lottery protected 1st next year.

Now....Giannis, Beal, Simmons, ect...that’s a different story. Of course I’d package the 2nd pick for those guys.

Wait a sec. I don't love these Aaron Gordon ideas; I think if it comes to that, it will mean we weren't able to do what we wanted (which is how I felt when we traded for Wiggins as well). But if the rationale is that it would be a bad idea because Wiggins can score 22 while playing good D, that's a reach. Wiggins has historically been a horrible defender. I'm optimistic we can potentially turn him into an ok/average defender, but even that involves some amount of finger crossing and faith. I also think he isn't going to score 22 with healthy Curry and Klay, but he also doesn't need to. I honestly think the goal is to turn him into a slightly better scoring Harrison Barnes. Something like that.

Oh yeah, and Aaron Gordon is more of a 4 than he is a 3. So from a fit perspective, not ideal with Draymond imo.

Could he fill the Iguodala role off the bench? I think that might be his best fit if he were here.

why?


Just a few days ago, Wiseman was on a podcast with Scottie Pippen and Richard Jefferson. They said with Warriors most likely in position to draft him, he’d have the benefit to play with veterans who knows how to win with their system and he can learn from them (paraphrasing). However, I think they also questioned his intentions/goals in the league: Does he want to play for an established Ball club and might not get as many touches or to develop (with us)? Or does he want to be “the guy” on a developing or mediocre team where the game plan will run through him. Of course, the generic answer he gives them is he’ll fit into whichever team drafts him and he’ll continue to put in the work. If it’s the latter, I feel Wiseman will Grow tired and request for a trade if he doesn’t get that many touches or is limited due to this raw abilities. But, if they’re winning, I’d say he’d want to stay put.

As we all know, this organization wants to remain competitive and win now with Curry, Thompson, and Green almost or at their peak. Maybe asking for TJ Warren is a bit much (matching/equating salary purposes), but could involve a 3rd team?
