Re: Around the NBA - new season chatter
This is why I have GSW missing the playoffs. Klay injury tanked their season. Not anywhere near enough firepower in the West.
Wiggins needs to find his way to a team who only needs scoring off the bench. If I’m GSW I’m calling OKC about a Horford swap

Look at his games played... in 9 years hes played 70+ games only 3 times. Making a decision to max out a guy with that injury history, along with his personality things during game 1 after a long layoff is a bit foolish... it is a long season, lets see how things go when things get tough, because if history is any indication, he will alienate his team, his coaches and his fans before the end of his current contract...
would i max out Kyrie if it meant getting KD, of course... but Kyrie is not the guy you want being the #1 on our team.

Re: Around the NBA - new season chatter
That’s why you can’t press to hard on highschool highlights and no meaningful games to back it up.
Wiseman has potential regardless but he clearly has no real elite go to type of skill sets on offense you’d normally expect out of a bigman taken top 3.

This is the truth. Kyrie gets injured every year.

Wiseman didn’t play preseason. This is his first game

His immune system is weak for getting Covid, clear sign he's never going to be good, especially after game 1 of his career.
