The Warrior fan base has been screaming to play the young players
These other teams like the Pacers, OKC and Minnesota are good now because they played their young players and now they are ready to help
There is absolutely no move for us to make that will make us a champion next season but 2 seasons from now yes but play JK, MM BP and TJD and Gui
We didnt make the playoffs we didnt play our young players like we should have so the fans are already eating a down season
The same analysts that will advocate for a "big move" are the same analysts that will be evaluating Dunleavys failures when it goes to crap and the team lost promising prospects and the picks that can actually recover the teambin less than a dozen years.
Lacob is under pressure? He has a solid team with a fanbase that will continue to fill his new arena, 2 years after winning a title by getting Otto Porter and Nemanja Bjelica… no team is entitled to 4 titles in 10 years much less 5 in 10 or 11.
The warriors need to let klay go or have him come off the bench for no more then 15-20 min
Trade wiggins away preferably get a defensive minded wing defender
Try to get lauri without trading away to much(no kuminga)
And get a 2 guard that can get a bucket and guard
Video title is just click bait. We done, cooked, finished. We had a great run. But, there is nothing that can be done for any kind of quick turn around to title contention. And, these playoffs have removed any doubts I had about that. We are far from any of the remaining 8 teams, which are all better, younger, cheaper, and some have legit current top five talent. Curry is still good, but he's no longer at the peak of him powers. Most of the roster is just bad.
I am constantly annoyed by the fans: "Oh we could have had ANT or Haliburton" talk. The Warriors took Wiseman.
Those same fans: "WE NEED A BIG MAN…" It's like the Warriors did what was asked of them and the guy didnt work out. And they won in 2022 without a big man.
Lottery picks are always going to be a gamble, but don't rant about wanting a big man, when the Warriors tried and used their #2 to get them.
And Who knows if they can even get a quality big man in the offseason and if THAT guy is going to work out.. It take a certain type of player to play for the Warriors.
The concept of the whole two timeline is idiotic. You can only focus on one timeline at a time. As soon as the window closes, then a team needs to sell its assets, get to the bottom and get top draft picks for a few years and then the next timeline could happen. OKC gave up on the first timeline once it traded Paul George to the Clippers for SGA and a ton of draft picks, and sank to the bottom for three years, and now look at where they are and have a realistic chance to have an open window for 10 years. The current Warriors core is no longer good enough to win a championship and we might as well trade Steph for a future all NBA (think Maxey or Haliburton a year to two ago) and stockpile on picks. None of the current young warriors including Kuminga will ever be a top 15 NBA player, and the young warriors won't move the needle enough. It's a painful process to move away from Steph and rebuild now. If you wait till Steph is at 40 years old, you give up on that potential young stud plus picks and the rebuild will take probably a decade longer.
I’m definitely with Maria! That was a great call.
They didn’t need Lamelo they needed Wiseman to work out Wiseman was the right pick because they needed a big man. They also needed Draymond not to hit Jordan to be honest Wiggins ain’t been the same since his boy Poole got traded
There's a belief that the Warriors failed this year because the big three got old. I think it's more from bloated contracts. Chris Paul, Klay Thomson, and Draymond made a combined 105 Million this year. Because of that the Warriors overall roster was not as good as most teams. If the Warriors can put a more competitive roster around Steph, they can compete still.
We expect Wiggins to be traded, klay to be a bench player, get a big and play the young!

Wigs for J.Allen
