I see the Warriors are trying to trade KP as soon as possible but don't want include Moody in any deal.

I like Moses buy why?

just posturing hopefully. I like Moses a lot and he would be useful if he is back to his usual self but he's far from a deal breaker and his salary could be useful in a potential trade.

Perhaps so it can’t be said they blew all 3 of those draft picks.

I would guess they have a good idea about how he is progressing physically and consider he will be a valuable player though.

If you believe in the GS Medical staff, they seem to think both look like they can come back strong enough to make a difference vs using their salaries to bring someone else in.

Looking around at the Porzingis trade possibilities, particularly the J.Smith from Chicago inquiry by GS, they can't do a 1:1 trade and since GS is at 15 NBA contracts, GS would have to move a 2nd player to allow a team like Chicago stack some salary to make it a legal trade. Who would GS move? I'm guessing it would need to be Will Richard or Bassey (I would try to keep Bassey for the ability to rebound in certain situations). GS could possibly get Hield or Okoro back as filler.

I think I'm finally being able to extract a player's stats with another player on the court with them vs the team's stats with these 2 on the court. Hopefully I can start pulling more stats and some defensive numbers.

So, GS is looking to put themselves in the same situation as they were with Dennis Schroder where they could flip him if he isn't working out or if someone else, they want more shakes loose at the deadline.

Golden State would prefer to move the deal before December 16, Stein and Fischer reiterate, and is hopeful that his limited partial guarantee for next season, along with his reported willingness to discuss a buyout, could be financially enticing to potential trade partners. December 16 stands as a key date because that is the last day the Warriors could add someone via trade and re-aggregate their contract in another deal by the February 11 trade deadline.

Thanks, that's interesting data. Very obvious which player Steph benefits the most from. Although as with all stats there could be other factors, for example which of the other 2 players were also in the lineup when the third was, and for what % of the time? Would be interesting to see Steph + Yaxel without Draymond or Podz, etc., although those numbers are probably too small to draw conclusions from this early, and probably at least 2 of the 3 are on the court together most of the time.

Sure, I hope to be able to do more teammates. I'm not sure I have all the historical play-by-plays yet so numbers could be slightly off plus it's just doing the games they both played.

Looking at the time with Kuminga in GS it's what I expected, Curry shot a bit higher percentage but took about 3 less shots per36 with Kuminga on the court with him.

The Ringer NBA podcast said that this is the best second unit offense which the Warriors have had under Kerr. Obviously small sample set. They were shooting almost 40% from 3 as a team. Can they keep it up or will it revert to the mean?

Another observation was that they’ve been running the PnR more.

But one of their guys questioned if Curry at his age could go through the season and carry the team through multiple rounds. Certainly Curry was out in the first game of round 2 with a hamstring and 2022 was over 4 years ago.

Curry's hamstring was after the olympics. A lot of players had much worse injuries after those olympics

Just need to win 12 of the next 30 games to be near .500 (20-21) at the halfway point of the season.

The Warriors need some healthy guards, or they're going to wear out Curry during the upcoming 5-game road trip. 11 of the next 15 games are on the road.

We need depth across the board except for center. Our big wings are Yaxel, Gui, Niang, Malevy. Our guards we have Steph, Podz, Melton, Cryer. Our centers are Dray, Horford, Bassey, Ike. Can we apply for an injury exception? Do those count against the cap? I don't think we can do anything.

I think if the team has enough players injured they can add a player, but I believe they still have to deal with any apron hard caps. At the moment, the Warriors are stuck.

Honestly, I am at the stage where I would be fine with a buyout for KP. Give him his guaranteed $3M for this season and $3M for next season. That would open up a roster spot, plus drop the Warriors $17M below their 2nd apron hard cap.

In the event a player on a minimum salary contract goes down with a season-ending injury, the Warriors could waive the player (and pay them their guaranteed amount) and add a replacement vet minimum.

Yea if we get another injury we might have to bite the bullet just so we have some options and don't have to play everyone in garbage time. I haven't really been too high on anyone who has been available for KP yet but maybe someone new comes up.

I think before we do that though we might need to waive Malevy and get someone who can actually play minutes on that 2 way.

I wonder if all the injuries and lack of depth currently is whats leading to Richard considering trying to play through his thumb injury? Seems like a bad idea to me I think he needs to just take the time off to get healthy. I only play a doctor on tv, of course.

He probably wants to play because he's in line for a lot of playing time and he could break into the rotation.

Did we let Herb get on the plane with the Pelicans?

Walter Clayton Jr. is playing 16 MPG for Dallas, shooting 48.1/43.3 with 3.4 APG.

Some of us noticed when he was released though to be fair, he was performing very poorly for Utah and Memphis before he was cut.

Because it's hard to get an expiring contract that is actually good. We are trying to sign a max player and letting KP expire would just do that. Bring in someone longer term is not a good move if we can't win this year.
