Plus the crew discuss some potential trade targets if they do pull the trigger on a deal, Cy presents a hypothesis on the reasoning behind Andrew Wiggins’ drastic dropoff in play and the crew analyze the team’s most and least effective 5 man rotations based on net rating.

Trade for Mikal bridges and Dorian finely smith for Wiggins and moody and kuminga
Is Clevelands Mobley available?
The time to rebuild is now. Otherwise, just kicking the can down the road.
Are not the fans the ones that support the NBA and everything associated with it? As a fan, I'm in pain! SUFFERING! FORCED to watch Klay, Dray, Looney, and Wiggs. NOT because the team loses! That's bad enough, but what is worse is seeing the FUTILITY (It's EXASPERATING!) of trying to extract another championship out of those UNINSPIRING players. And why? To STADDLE the past with the future. It's misery for the players, coaches, owners… and the fans. Personally, I'd rather see the team losing while developing the youngsters than this!
You guys love Kuminga, why all he cares about is self, he could care less if they win Klay as well
I believe that if Kerr gave Lester Q the Klay minutes, within five games or so, it would be an upgrade in terms of both offense and defense. Much more energy. And he can score!
Thought it had to do with the warriors forcing Wiggins to take the Covid19 vaccine.
Commenting is so cathartic!!
It`s the locker room!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! two players need to go!!
Does Mr. Lacob satisfied with this roster halfway season record considering the team as the highest payroll team in the Nba.
Kumminga is off table in trades. Trade Paul, Wiggins, #1 see where we are?
I just think this season is over until next season.
Klay, Wiggs, Looney slipped from last year is largely the crisis created. What are we going to do to change that?
Great listen as always. Kylen and Cy are a great duo! Kuzma would be an interesting move. I like him as a basketball player but I don't know enough about him off the court to make my mind up on that trade just yet.
Keep GP2 Steph Kuminga BP TJD and get some good length athletic defense and scoring for Wiggins Looney Drey and Klay while the have any trade value.
Trade Kerr for Mike Brown 😂
Personally I don’t think the evaluation to determine trades should be dominated by what will make them marginally more competitive this season but rather evaluate what best serves the franchise going into subsequent years. Rationally even your best player Steph Curry is under contract until 2026 and is unlikely to remain a dominant force given his high usage and advancing age. Kuminga and Moody must be retained as a basis for a new core. Obviously if you’re going to trade it must be Klay Thompson and his expiring contract, Draymond Green to a contender needing a boost off the bench, and perhaps Andrew Wiggins though I think better coaching and a better scheme might make him a useful player again. The plan should start to replace Kerr and most of his staff with better teachers of modern professional basketball and begin drafting physical athletes to play a more well rounded game. Mr. Lacob is a smart guy….he.knows some pain is inevitable to get back on track and I doubt he’ll accept being relegated to a decade of oblivion for someone’s foolish insistence on nostalgia of the old guard.
Kyle Kuzma for Andrew Wiggins 👍
I don't see a trade that will make a difference in winning a chip this season.
trade talk not going be happened when someone died trade talk mite happened right after team played game you just not going do trade talk right when someone died the GM toke a brake right after someone died talk mite happened more it get close
Have literally been saying Kuzma for Wiggins since the beginning of the year. Wiggins misses his best buddy
To Hell with anybody in this comment section that wants to trade Kuminga. You’re truly delusional. Shouting to both Cyrus and Kylen for staying solid on JK. I wouldn’t trade him for Mikal Bridges. Kuminga has the potential to be better
You guyz serious? Can’t figure out what’s the issues are?
1. Coaching staff – Kerr got exposed, Kenny Atkinson pulling Moody out of rotation.
2. Wiggins lethargic act. I never liked him. He was impactful in 2022 💍 is mainly because of Andre Iguodala
3. GP2 injury
4. Dray being dray main guy MIA
5. Klay throwing 🧱
6. NO MINS FOR MOODY & DNP GAMES 😡
7. Curry just not interested anymore
8. Too much hype and cuddling for Podz
9. Looney walking like a 🦆
10. CP3 unbelievable expecting 39Y old to win championship for us when he has won nothing in his career
I told you Cy, this season was going to suck. This organization has no leadership. Its spinning in circles and none of the "leaders" know what to do. They are afraid of hurting feelings.
The ppl who are hating on kuminga are the 2015 fans
The roster overall is better on paper than last season. But the core is worst that last season.
For GW to make a trade first step is to recognize the roster is a flawed roster. Do you think they can do that?
I keep seeing trade so called possibilities involving Wiggins, suggesting he has value. Nobody wants Ben Simmons lite
Wiggins misses Poole
