[Slater on 95.7] “They don’t want to trade [Podziemski]. He’s beloved organizationally…One of the rare aspects to him, compared to the Warriors’ other recent picks, is Steve Kerr couldn’t keep him off the floor as a rookie.”

Of course they don’t WANT to trade him. He’s a great fit with this team. With that being said, we already saw from the Shams report that the warriors stance is that the Jazz either get Podz and less picks, or more picks and no Podz. Just the way these leverage battles play out.
Dunleavy playing hardball. I like
Only real PG on the team. Would be a shame to just toss him in a trade.

Podz’s skillset is going to be more important to organization than Kuminga’s imo. Athletic forwards with subpar shooting don’t have a good place in modern NBA. If one of the two had to be traded you go with Kuminga. Watch Podz turn into post trade SGA if he’s traded.
Also if Ainge wants someone, you don’t give that person to him. He’s better than most GMs in spotting talent.
who realistically is going to swoop in? spurs if they are way ahead of schedule this year? Thunder if they have an injury? Detroit because yolo?
God can my jazz and your warriors just fuck already this is getting EXHAUSTING
Podz
2 firsts
3 swaps

If the holdup is just Podz and picks for Lauri, I say we do it. Podz is great, but he was a starter more so for glue elements and hustle rather than future star potential. Podz not likely to be a first or second option on a contending team. Second options are harder to come by. Get Lauri.
Loosing all our young players + picks is a non starter
Send the fucking picks. We can not trade podz. It is absolutely worth mortgaging the future for our generational talent we may never see again in Curry and keeping Podz and TJD who have also shown flashes of brilliance so early in their careers. This should be a no brainer.
it has never been so joever in our lifetime
Honestly podz really needs to develop a finisher near baskets. I’ve never seen a guy get blocked so many times on lay up or close to basket attempts. If he makes even half of those blocks it’ll help tremendously
Ya it’s a rare occurrence when Kerr gives so many minutes to a rookie. Especially when we have a deep team / great bench like last year.
Thank God!
when lauri gets here kuminga wont be the 2nd scoring option defeating the main reason for keeping him. that lineup will need complementary players, players that dive for loose ball, crash for rebounds, set offball screens, be positionally smart, and podz do all those things better than kuminga. with lauri spacing the floor it will also mean podz should have an easier time under the rim if his interior finishing is your concern.
I dont want Lauri if it entails giving up either Kuminga and/or Podz. Off limits, Lauri’s not worth it
Podz is good, but he’s overrated. Not long or athletic. Takes charges but can’t stay in front of fast and athletic players at the point of attack. Drives inside and then gets stuck cuz he can’t get his shot off or has to find an open player. He’s a good rotational player. Podz does have better BBIQ than Kuminga though
Understandable. He is the best young player this org has and honestly, it’s not even close. Hopefully, if the Lauri deal goes through it can be done with Kuminga instead of Podziemski.
Someone’s gotta study how Ainge keeps getting these hauls for his players. Over the past 10-15 years, besides the Thunder, Ainge is probably #2 at gathering ransoms for players. Shit is wild.
I definitely feel synergy with dunleavy and Kerr. We’re not making a trade unless everyone is in
People here expecting to get Lauri for free i guess
I don’t get why Danny doesn’t go strictly picks tbh.
He’s not trying to be good the next few years take 26 28 30 and all swap rights. Control of 6 years sans the chance the Dubs are a top ten team 6 years from now.
Danny’s problem is he’s not trying to be bad. This MFer middle of the packed his way outta the Paulo Chet draft and the Wemby draft smh.
Fir real from 21 to 23 three stacked classed dude has come away with Walker Kessler who he’s trying to trade and Keyontae George who isnt on Podz level.
Danny’s problem is wanting to win brownie points for being competitive but he should actually want to be a savagely terrible team the next three years…. talent pool is disgustingly good up top. Flagg Boozer Dybantza omg… and after get GSWs picks and swaps the years after.
”Everything for Steph”
lol
Podz is reportedly to have no equal in his competitive drive and his play seems to show that. There is no reason he should be such a good rebounder but he wants it more than the other guy and it’s also why he led the league in drawing charges….. He wants it on every play.
They really are overrating him
I don’t get the Lauri hype, he’s an addition to a good foundation, not a generational talent to build around
Trading Podz would leave a huge hole in the roster @ PG/SG. Warriors would definitely be mortgaging the future if he’s included. If he’s included in the trade, Warriors certainly are giving a few less picks. A redraft would have him picked well inside the top 10. Podz rookie deal makes him more valuable than Kuminga.
