‘YOU CANNOT HAVE EMOTIONS WITH BUSINESS!’ – Perk STILL DISAGREES w/ GSW keeping Klay | NBA Countdown

I know that the Warriors fans and even some Laker fans are going to be familiar with what we’re about to put up here we’re about to put up the teams that are in front of them and yeah what about those Sons what about the Mavericks you know the Kings they’re in sixth right

Now the Warriors watching for six for a long time but they got to be forget about six watch your six your six because Guess who’s coming from behind you the Houston Rockets six consecutive victories they’re now two and a half games back of the Warriors for that 10

Seed and moving fast now look this is the schedule coming up for the Warriors this is the one I want you to pay attention to this is in 15 days in 15 days will this game be for the number 10 seed the Warriors better hope not but

I’m going to tell you something must-win games start now guys must-win games begin this evening mere hours away because the Warriors only have a 27% chance of advancing past the playin that’s out of the playin perk so what would it mean if the Warriors aren’t able to secure that seed at all nothing

Wouldn’t mean anything it wouldn’t mean a damn thing to me okay it would maybe mean something to the rest of the world but I didn’t have the Warriors pick to do a damn thing this season and I’m not the one that’s calling the shots in the

Front office and decided not to do a damn thing at the trade deadline right they decided to St pack they decided to bring Klay Thompson Off the Bench they decided all these things so they have to live with their decision and so when it comes down to it they knew that that

They didn’t have enough around stephh Curry to compete in a tough Western Conference so if they failed I’m not sure that’s true because they were playing some of their best basketball in after they didn’t after they didn’t trade and it was working Steph sprained his ankle I was the one that said what

Trey Klay Thompson I was the one that said Trey Klay Thompson and they moved him to the bench he started killing he played saying means nothing if they if they don’t make the eighth seed right they miss the playoffs completely and here that’s in steps Prime that you were

Calling to trade Klay Thompson when then they’re going to have decisions to make about clay about Jonathan kaminga who may be their most valuable trade asset but also has been one of their best players you’re saying it means nothing that all of these decisions may be bubbling up very urgently for Golden

State I Wasing no I was answering the question at hand that’s what I’m saying is if they don’t make it i’ never had expectation like I think the thing is perk what you’re talking about is you don’t have any more expectations for the Warriors Dynasty as we have known it

Right they’ve won four championships under Steph you feel like the tide has turned towards the youth I’m still here to say that Steph Curry is still remarkable in his prime this is going to be the most important offseason because they can restructure things around step

In a way that when you said hey trade Clay they’re like actually let’s let these things naturally evolve what has happened naturally Jonathan kaminga has proved his worth what has happened naturally well Klay Thompson has accepted a better role coming off of the bench these are all things that are the

Natural course of events when you don’t panic and you push for things and now these conversations that were so difficult in February are going to be easier for them to structure something something around Steph who again Malika said is leading the NBA like we talk about LeBron James being remarkable at

Year 39 Steph being able in year 15 to lead the NBA made threes is still remarkable and I believe that Steph knows he can still do this for another three years to come so it still means a lot track there’s two tracks going on you got Steph you got you got Steve Kerr

Trying to figure out how to beat the Grizzlies tonight trying to make their young guys work guys PA trying to figure out how to beat the Grizzlies tonight that’s a sentence that not good at home what do you want me to say so that’s one thing going on you know they’re they’re

Working on that trying to win the next game they got the the rockets on their heels then you got the front office who I’m telling you has some whiteboards that they’re not showing anybody that are going to be about this summer because you’ve got uh expiring contracts

With with Klay Thompson you got uh Chris Paul you got a whole set of opportunities you’ve got some first round picks that you can trade and there’s no way with the team in 10th place right now and Steph Curry is still being able to be effective that they’re

Going to bring the same team back next year they’re going to go to work and I’m promising you they’re working on it every single day and that’s what’s fascinating obviously they’re underachieving this year they’ve got some more work to do and that’s what we’re going to see they definitely have

Some more work to do but they’ve been holding on for so long and that’s what happens to hold on the tile years ago with this but listen to me Wendy this is what I’m trying to explain you for the simple fact when you when you put your you cannot have emotions with business

And this is what’s going on with the Golden State Warriors right now they holding on too long because of the emotional ties with Klay Thompson right like they could have made some moves at the trade dead line but Klay Thompson is going to have a statue at some point

When he retires outside the arena so you know what we got to go and confine how did you feel when the Celtics traded you huh how did you feel when the Celtics traded you and they hadn’t you know that core hadn’t lost yet you you want me to

Tell you it was they lost not M cuz I went back to the finals so I feel sorry for them but at the end of the day we’re talking about me that was in my Prime and they got rid of me for because they had Shaq and Jo we’re talking about guys

That at the end of their career but I think but I think that your point what you are saying doesn’t support that it means nothing I think you’re saying it means everything that now by losing by not making the eighth seed at all it ushers in these conversations forces their

Hands y’all giveing me a headache He
