Re: Hot Takes for 2021!
Warriors will trade out of #2 with Detroit swap picks and get Rose for TPE. Then pickup Vassell with Detroit pick. They will sign Aron “Zaza with a three point shot” Baynes with the MLE and will get GR3 for the vet min. They will fall to the Clippers in the conference finals however. Saw the trade for Rose on YouTube and feel it fits with the Warriors desire to add veterans and also with Detroit looking to likely start a rebuild.
Steph, Rose
Klay, Poole, Mulder
Wiggins, Vassell, GR3, Simmons
Draymond, Paschall, Smiley
Baynes, Chriss, Looney

Re: Hot Takes for 2021!
Depends on who we pick in the draft, and how much he can contribute to the team. I see the Dubs will be fighting a playoff spot next year, 6-7-8 seed as best. Too many holes to fill especially on the Defense.

Re: Hot Takes for 2021!
Wiseman will be selected in the draft and start right away. He will be totally fine in the starting lineup playing around 20 minutes a night. People will be surprised with how easy the transition is because we have a great system, great shooters, great passers, and he will be an after thought for opposing teams. If Jordan Bell, Ezili, and Damian Jones can start here and help us win than so can Wiseman. The pro-Wiseman vs anti-Wiseman discussion will continue as people project his long term potential.
Shooting off the bench will be an issue like in years past. People will avidly vouch for a Mulder since he seems like the best pure shooter.
The TPE player will be a disappointment and face scrutiny from fans if it’s not a guy coming here on a bridge trade. Bob Myers will attempt to trade the TPE player at the deadline along with our own 2021 1st rounder and Poole or Looney to push us over the top. The TPE player in a deadline deal will be a big topic.
The MLE player will seem like a decent bargain player to fans.

Well that's definitely a 7th seed team you've built there.

Re: Hot Takes for 2021!
GS tries to package Wiggins + picks for another star but find that any team with a star on the market really doesn't want Wiggins back in the return package.
GS then drafts Wiseman, adds a mediocre guard or wing with the TPE and fills out depth on the cheap.
Due to some missed games by Curry/Klay/Draymond, Wiggins being mediocre and Wiseman being interesting but not good the team barely makes the playoffs then goes down in the 1st round.
The team then makes a drastic and umpopular move next offseason to avoid a huge luxury tax bill.

Re: Hot Takes for 2021!
I wonder how the 2019 Finals go if the Cousins experiment doesn't happen and we end up with Brook Lopez instead... Cousins was so bad, and still getting 20mpg in the finals.

If I recall, Marcus Thompson insinuated the Warriors first plan was to go after Tyreke Evans with the MLE. I'd assume that the minimum spot that went to McKinnie might have gone to a youngish C, but all indications seem to be that the front office was really planning on going with Jones/Looney/Bell to start the season. Evans probably would have helped up until the point he got suspended for violating the drug policy. So that would have been a nightmare. Brook should have been our target though, totally agree with you.

Re: Hot Takes for 2021!
We've got to address the backup PG situation, I'm not feeling confident in any team that has Bowman/Poole as Steph's primary backup. Drafting Haliburton takes care of that problem as well as adding a versatile, efficient, 2-way small ball weapon to the mix.

Maybe im just a pessimist but this feels about right IMO, except for the drafting Wiseman part. I wouldnt mind if they did but personally i believe the intel that they wont

lol I gotta admit the odds of being a borderline playoff team are higher than people think.
Worst case scenario IMO is:
Draft Edwards or Deni who prove to not be ready to contribute playoff level ball yet
MLE someone that proves to be washed or back to sucking (gasol, Dwight, Whiteside)
TPE Andre in what is clearly a pre-agreed plan from earlier in the year
Curry / Bowman / Poole
Klay / Edwards / Lee
Wiggins / Andre / Juan
Dray / Paschall / Smiley
Gasol / Chriss / Looney
IMO that roster would have used the #2/MLE/TPE all on things that might not help this year. And I don't think its a far-fetched scenario.

In hindsight the worst thing about getting Cousins was how little relief he brought to his teammates over the long slog of the regular season. Someone else would have taken more minutes and given the other guys more opportunity to rest. Instead everyone started falling apart in the playoffs.

Very few guards enter the league ready to play significant minutes as a floor general. Poole, with a season under his belt, is far more likely to be a reliable ball handler off the bench than Haliburton or any other guard in this draft. There isn't a Morant, Rose or Paul in this draft.
The hottest of takes...

Re: Hot Takes for 2021!
Warriors draft Toppin.
Warriors trade 2nd round pick(s) and TPE for Rudy Gay.
Warriors enter Bubble 2.0 as the virus is still a problem.
Warriors and Wiggins have a good start at 17-5 only to have injurie issues with Klay for a period. Wiggins steps in at shooting guard and Rudy at starting SF. Both allow the run to continue.
Chemistry issues with Draymond emerge as he dogs Wiggins and others and his personality get's old in a hurry. Toppin is becoming a dominant PF and a much better scorer taking up more of Draymond's minutes.
In a surprise blockbuster at the mid-season trade deadline, Warriors move Draymond Green, Paschall and NEXT years pick for Embiid (as the Doc and Philly attempt to keep them together doesn't work).

To piggy back on that.
Wolves start 7-0 then drop their next 10 due to complete lack of defensive focus.

KAT requests out mid season and Wolves begin another never ending rebuild
On another note. Bucks start way worse than last season, Nets best team in the east and Giannis somehow indicates he is not re-signing with the Bucks and they trade him mid season for the best offer(Which is us)

I predict that KAT and DLO announce their engagement at the All Star game.....even though neither make the team.
