Of course we do it in a heartbeat, that’s robbery for us. Warriors would turn down a deal of Wiggins for Randle straight up let alone a deal that has them sending out two young prospects as well.

The time to do it was on draft night. Not sure they'd have accepted it, but if there was ever a window, it was then.

Have to strike while the iron is hot.


randle doesn't make sense for them now. wiggins has become kind of important for the makeup of their team. and are they playing randle and draymond next to each other ? if they make a trade it will be for a stretch 5 with enough size to deal with bigger taller centers. that's their weak spot.

I would have been all for that and in general I would have preferred we looked to deal Randle before the season ever started.

Yeah, Wiggins has now proven that he can be positive contributor on a winning team. He was still a work in progress last year. Now he's a stud for them.

I think Randle and Draymond makes sense in your frontcourt if Randle shoots 40% from 3. Draymond in the short roll, Randle as a tertiary option that can spot-up from 3. As a 33.5 3-point shooter, I agree Randle doesn't make sense for them.

I mean that ship has sailed now.

But you trade pieces when their value is high, or at least before it falls off completely. There's an element of risk involved, but you don't gain anything without risk.

Golden state is likely to trade Wiggins and sell high on him. He’s having a fluke year as a winning player and they already drafted his replacement (Kuminga). Wonder which team they’ll fool into trading for Wiggins

So they’re gonna trade their best prospect over a fluke winning player? :lol:

Warriors aren't trading one of the best 2 way players in the league for an inefficient black hole that plays no defense especially since that guy also doesn't fill a position of need for them.

Warriors team is basically an anti-Randle type of team, he wouldn't fit their identity or culture.

Randle's value isn't even that high as there are better big men on the market that the Warriors can look to get. Indiana alone has 2 guys who would fit the Warriors better than Randle

They need to stop holding out asymptomatic vaccinated players. This is making no sense at all. Hold out the unvaccinated players if anything.

Warriors aren't going to tamper with their chemistry for Randle of all people.

the good news is that this is spreading so fast it appears within the next month almost the entire league will have had this and they can just move on. the bad news is you don't know what the repercussions are on some of the players health going forward.

Makes sense but perhaps there B a chance still.
And I think Philli still is a chance with Simmons. But we gots a month+ to wait (aka Feb 3).

I likes Randle, but with no #1 here, I'd sooner see him go.

It is starting to get amusing now. We have half the league infected (but not sick by all accounts, asymptomatic.)
Let them test negative 2X and then play. (Like NFL?)
