Warriors Rumors Are HOT: Warriors TRADING For Alex Caruso? Kevon Looney Getting CUT By GSW?

so coming up this off season could the Golden State Warriors cut cavon Looney to save some money and then in turn use some of that Capital to trade for a player like Alex Caruso who’s very affordable but really Golden State needs every single dollar amount that they can have at their disposal in order to improve this roster we’re talking about that on today’s Golden State Warriors today I do want to pose this poll question first though because I know that you all know ball so share with me that you know ball what does Golden State need to do to get back to Contender status especially when you see the Dallas Mavericks and the Boston Celtics right now battling it out in the NBA Finals share your thoughts With Me Down Below in the comment section and with that let’s talk some dubs basketball is the cavan Looney era over he has been the ultimate glue guy for Golden State throughout this title run over the last several years and a run that’s going to go down in the history books obviously among Warrior fans as a Great era in franchise history but one of the best eras in all of basketball and we see right now with the lack of repeat winners as far as NBA championships go it’s so difficult to accomplish what the Warriors accomplished for such an extended period of time and cavon Looney was a big part of that success the Warriors could save some money in moving on from cavon Looney if they part ways with the three time NBA champion an ultimate glue guy a cut saves $5 million of Looney’s $8 million for the 2024 2025 season so remember that as we make our way through Today’s Show here’s a Tim kawakami longtime Bay Area sports writer had to say on the athletic about cavon Looney here I think the likeliest situation is that he’s cut and he makes $3 million from them and he’s off looking for another spot and there will be another spot for him in this league teams are going to want him again for a very low number but they’re going to want him it feels like a logical move it feels like a move that a smart basketball organization would make and if Bob Myers was still running this team it’s a move that you would imagine Bob Meyers would maneuver right Mike dun leevy Jr I think that he is a smart basketball mind but we’re just not sure at this point how he operates and how he moves because there’s only one year of sample size with him running a basketball team but when a cut for a declining player saves $5 million of the 8 mil for this upcoming year and you have a lot of holes on this team you’re either trying to get a star or you’re trying to get some really good complimentary pieces The Avenue in which this makes sense is an Avenue that’s worth taking and from my view the Warriors and Joe lob as Joe lob the owner has talked about want to get as close to under the luxury tax as possible and every move really does count you save $20 here you save $20 there off your paycheck all of a sudden you got a couple hundred bucks from an NBA organizational standpoint you save this much money and it really does impact your team building strategy past four years for Looney I thought last year we saw some signs of decline but this is a player who’s always active on the glass very smart makes Championship winning plays I think his rim and paint protection is a little bit underrated never a player that averaged a bunch of points per game right but always a player who had a couple of timely baskets here and there and I think what’s so great about cavon Looney it’s the points and the rebounds and then you could count on him around Rim when he’d catch a pass from Steph Curry Klay Thompson or somebody else to put the biscuit in the basket would you be upset if the Warriors cut cavon Looney emotionally could be a difficult decision to make because he’s won three championships with this squad yes or no let me know down in the comment section right now I do think he’s very replaceable Looney knew the system well no question but there are a handful maybe even dozens of players that possess the same skill set for a lot cheaper cheaper and you can find these types of players glue guys is what we like to call them in the draft or on vet minimum deals and cavon Looney right now is not on a vet minimum deal now we did talk about cavon Looney and a replacement in this video it’s up on the channel right now closing in on 10,000 views so if you want to go check that out we certainly appreciate that but in this draft class in particular especially with where the Warriors are going to be selecting and drafting in that second round you can find a cavon looney type of replacement and look at what Trace Jackson Davis was able to do last year he has some of the elements to his game that cavon Looney brought to those Warriors teams when they were winning Larry OBS stay tuned because coming up next Alex Caruso to Golden State could the dubs pull off a trade for the Sharpshooter and very good defend who can also handle the basketball continue to rock and roll with this but first rock and roll with prize picks it’s the best daily fantasy sports app in the game you can get a $100 deposit match at priz

some of the selections that we like LCA donic more than 31 and a half points must-win game for Dallas can’t go down 20 Jason Tatum Moore in 14 and a half rebounds and assists we saw how good he was outside of scoring the basketball in game one and helped really Chris STS porzingis breakout he was the MVP of game one in my estimation protecting the rim as well Kyrie Irving more than 22 and A2 points maybe things start to slow down a little bit for him an emotional return to Boston getting booed he played a little bit tight will he loosen up a little bit we think so $100 deposit match pri.com CNS link is hanging out down in the show notes and it’s attached to the pin comment of this video so that you can sign up today as for an Alex Caruso trade you think about what the Warriors need right especially if they lose Klay Thompson shooting in defense and Bleacher Report proposing a trade that would send Caruso to the Bay Area here and we want to take a look at that trade and dissect that Grant Hughes talking about it saying Caruso could help the Warriors return to form on defense graded out last year as the best backourt defender in the league among those who played at least 20 games and by defensive estimated plus minus has been an all defensive honorey in each of the past two years one could argue Gary pyton II is close to Caruso’s level when healthy but his 44 appearances last year were the second most of his career for him when healthy has been well basically never I mean Grant makes a good point there Gary pyton II during that run to the championship That season he was awesome and then what happened in the playoffs he got hurt and he’s always a player unfortunately who seems to get hurt so fun to watch because he’s guarded all five positions at times and he’s been able to throw down some hammers hit some big and clutch Corner threes but you can’t count on a player who is never available Caruso would be a great fit he’s been durable throughout his career he can handle play on ball off ball he can knock down the three and defends clearly at a very very high level should the Warriors make a deal for Caruso another pole question coming your way t for trade P for pass what do you think about the dubs making this move let’s take a look at the numbers for Caruso 71 games played last year with the Chicago Bulls and just a player who I think Championship level teams and playoff level teams across the NBA would just be salivating over trying to add him to their Club that’s why going into the NBA trade deadline some Marquee title contenders were hitting up Chicago but Chicago continues to settle for mediocrity ever since Michael Jordan that’s why they’ve been a mediocre basketball ball team for so long over the last two plus decades because they just settle for mediocrity being in the middle of the pack Caruso last year 10 and a half points per game 3.8 rebounds three and a half assists and then you look at the stocks is what some people call it steals and blocks combined that is 1.7 steals per game and a block per night so that’s 2.7 turnovers there and sometimes that number can be even higher with just making plays that lead to turnovers or lead to Misses and that’s what Caruso brings to his teams on the defensive vent and then the field goal three-point numbers 46.8% and 40.8% he’s really taken strides as a two-way player and if you go back and watch the tape and turn on some of the highlights of what he did for the Lakers during that Mickey Mouse title run in the NBA bubble Alex kuso’s made some really nice improvements since that season and he’s turned himself into a very very good two-way player that blitch report trade idea is as such where the dubs get Caruso and then the Bulls get Moses Moody Gary pyton and a 2026 Lottery protected first what the Bulls would then get you replace the shooting loss with Caruso with the shooting of Moses Moody of course Moody is not the same defensive player as Caruso but we have seen some glimpses of Moody being able to play some lock down defense I thought in the playoffs two years ago and he got those rare minutes from Steve Kerr he held up well guarding the perimeter and if Gary Payton can stay healthy that’s some defense right there so you get the shooting in the defense with two players that can make up for what the Bulls are losing with Caruso and then that first round pick if you’re eye a rebuild over the next couple of years I have reservations about trading Moody because of some of the reasons that I said he can shoot the rock man and he can defend when he’s engaged when he’s just getting consistent minutes him getting consistent minutes will help bring the best out of the player there but with the decline of Golden State’s defense they kind of need to spark on that end and there is no question there’s no doubt that Alex Caruso would be able to provide that would you make this trade a for accept D for decline the dubs get Caruso Bulls get moody Payton Lottery protected first let us know make sure you subscribe to the channel here on Golden State Warriors today appreciate everybody for watching Smitty on the ones and twos crushing the game and all of you for making this possible [Music]

Tim Kawakami The Athletic
I think the likeliest situation is that he’s cut and he makes $3 million from them and he’s off looking for another spot, and there will be another spot for him in this league. Teams are going to want him, again for a very low number, but they’re going to want him.

Grant Hughes Of Bleacher Report On Warriors Trade For Alex Caruso
“​​Caruso could help the Warriors return to form on D. He graded out last year as the best backcourt defender in the league (among those who played at least 20 games) by Defensive Estimated Plus/Minus and has been an All-Defensive honoree in each of the past two seasons. One could argue Gary Payton II is close to Caruso’s level when healthy, but his 44 appearances last season were the second most of his career. For him, “when healthy” has been, well … basically, never.”
