That's why they should add a second team all nba caliber Siakam to that core. For Wiseman, Kuminga, and Wiggins. :nod:

If Warriors actually head into the season with Kuminga and Wiseman Bob Myers is truly dumb


You have to assume this makes a trade more rather then less likely to happen! If you’re all in to be paying Steph $60 mill when he’s 52 years old, you have to be willing to maximize his chances to be successful now! With the rest of the league reloading, it makes no sense to stand pat and pay ridiculous Tax penalties for rookies! :banghead: :banghead:

Come, let the Raptors ease your burden: Siakam and Boucher for Wiggins, Wiseman, Kuminga and Moody!

Just as an aside, Precious, Barnes and Moody all played at Montverde Academy!

Meh. They'll just be replaced with another generational talent that's going to do the same thing. Rinse wash and repeat.

Nunn got his qualifying offer pulled because Miami would be hardcapped if they signed him.

Toronto should jump on signing the guy. I know he had some domestic violence issues in the past, but he has been really positive with helping single black fathers.

https://theundefeated.com/features/miami-heat-guard-kendrick-nunn-helping-single-fathers/

Overall, he is was a 15 PPG scorer and just knows how to score and scrap on defense. I think NY will go after him, but he'd fit in great on Toronto as a 6 man type.

Warriors fans are so delusional. On their Reddit page:

Lakers have Russ, LeBron and AD. If Klay comes back healthy enough Curry, Klay, Dray and Wiggins are collectively better than those 3. Then add in the Warriors seem to have better depth. Warriors > Lakers


They really would rather keep Kuminga and Wiseman than make a win now move cause they think they have a shot with this team. They really think Klay coming back is gonna take them from 9th seed back to the top even though he hasn’t played in 2 years

Umm sorta.

Not that he was ever on the table as far as we know but had Masai been interested in him, we could have taken him in the deal.

Except that you can't include more than one player in a S&T so it would be him or Dragic + Precious.

their tune will change quickly once they realize a 18 year old and a 20 year old aren't going to help them win a championship

maybe the Warriors are just content being an ok playoff team again. I feel like the Heat will be the same as well.

I like him. But we don't have the capspace unless we move Dragic for nothing

I dont think Masai wants to trade Siakam, otherwise if that deal was available he would have done it pre-draft.

Made sense. Now he’s a valuable piece on the Pacers

Really odd decision. Love Yuta but he’s nothing special

Would’ve rather cut Watson if anything


Shhhh, you're not allowed to criticize any moves the Raptors make otherwise you're not a real fan lol.

Warriors stars aren’t so young and injury free themselves either

Waiting till mid season could cause guys like Pascal and Turner to drive up their prices since that’s when teams get desperate for a splash and Pascal will likely drive up his value again. Could easily come to bite them in the ass if they wait

How is there no info on what's happening with this Lowry S&T? No rumblings or anything?

I don’t believe that offer was ever on the table for us

Warriors should be trying something for Pascal or Turner though

:lol:

This is the most depressed I’ve been about the teams talent level in 7 years or so.

Feels like our team is made up of wing defensive role players. Not a bad foundation but damn.

There’s no guy you can turn to to get you a bucket. There’s no “it” guy.

There’s no more “don’t poke the bear”

I think people are just wanting to see Oshae perform over a longer period of time instead of a 15 game span where he shot way above his career averages.

His TS% in college and his rookie season was under 50% but in a span of 15 games with Indiana it was 64%. That type of improvement in such a short period of time would be unprecedented. The law of averages state that those numbers will revert closer to his career averages and if they do, then Oshae is probably a fringe NBA player.

As I mentioned before, they going to play the risk game it seems and see how they are 30 games in. But they arent far off from Lakers. They are getting way overrated.
