Warriors are a smart organization. I won't be surprised if they sell high on Wiggins in the offseason and get another stud.

Yeah that's what they should do. Trade him away for a big man, and give Kuminga the keys


They’re just going to sign Mitch

Of course.

Who's paying up for Wiggins on a $33.6 million expiring contract?

They are 1 game away from the Finals and took the night off so they can close out at home. Only reason for them to sell high on Wiggins would be for a superstar

Yea, they took the night off and still only lost by 10. Wiggins has been playing really well. You can tell people were hovering around like vultures for a bad game to go after him and take some sub shots at RJ :lol:

Was just about to post something like this. Wiggins been good all post season, people just love to say anything lol.

You also have to be a warrior casual if you didn’t think the whole team was taking off last night after winning game 3. That’s one of their bad habits. Curry even said oh now we’re playing with house money. I also expected them to have more desire to close it out at home since it’s been a 2 year hiatus for them.

Not only that. It’s going to be a big, fat expiring contract.

Yea, that’s the point. People are busting on Wiggins when the Warriors would hang up the phone if we offered our starting QB Randle. :lol:

Thought on the "blowouts"

Haven't all playoffs had tight games, but also games where one team won by 10 points? I recall this is the case in the past.

Well, 20 point wins are the new 10 point wins.
Teams take at least 20 more 3's than they did just 5 years ago.
Hell, they take about 40 more 3's than they took 40 years ago.

Teams shoot about 40% from 3. That's games that will have an 8 point spread over 5 years ago, if one team is hot and the other cold.
18 points - there's the abundance of "20 point blowouts"

Just a highly speculative, super unsupported theory with no statistical evidence to back it up. If anyone wants to do that, have at it.

Apparently even Monty Williams doesn’t want Ayton back and has been complaining about him.. kind of damning when a coach like Monty doesn’t want you

He’s soft, poor work ethic and he’s a diva that wants to get overpaid. Makes sense that the Pistons would want him because they haven’t learned a thing from Andre Drummond. I feel bad for Cade

As a fan of neither New York team, gotta think the Knicks could have done a better job than the Nets has they acquired KD after 2019. What a **** show across the river.

And he wants more shots.

Would be awesome to see him and Randle go at it over who gets to chuck more.
