Melton and Podz are shooting guards but both can play at the 1 and/or with Steph. That leaves some room for Moody. IDK what that does for GP2 or Waters and I don't understand why we need Hield. Waters likely comes in when we run 3 guards and need shooting. Melton, Waters and Curry definitely will leave teams scrambling.
FWIW, I love Draymond but Kyle Anderson is as close as we have been in a decade to have a replacement.
đ„ Kerr then Moody will be a true star if not already.
Good to see that nobody overreacts after the very first game of the preseason…
Melton is a better GP2, Podz has potential as that role Poole had as 6th man/rotational starting 2 guard, GP2 is great but likely should be included in a trade, Moody imo has greatest starting potential next to Wiggins who would be a perfect fit with his experience and length to defend and rebound that gives him an edge over Melton.
Realistically Dubs need to swing a good trade for either a starting 2 or a starting center. Combinations of Podz, GP2, TJD, Looney, JK draft picks has enough salary and value tied in Dubs should be able to bring in someone decent.
Easy get some size to remove some guards..but Kerr loves going small so its a coaching problem
Starter
C – Kevon Looney
PF – Draymond Green
SF – Jonathan Kuminga
SG – Lindy Waters III
PG – Steph Curry
2nd lineup
C – Trayce Jackson-Davis
PF – Kyle Anderson
SF – Kevin Knox II
SG – Moses Moody
PG – Brandin Podziemski
Lindy is the next Klay đ„¶ watch what I tell you đ
Might age bad, but if the dubs can only extend one guy between moody and JK, i think moody is the better fit and wont be expecting a max contract.
If they could flip JK+ GP2 for a true center or a stretch big that can offer some rim protection, i think theyd be in great shape moving forward. Id really like to see Myles Turner on the roster, but Pacers would ask for alot.
That shot that Waters made, I believe no one else except Curry could have made it. He shot that shot from 30 feet that's range. It doesn't grow on trees.
I like to see Knox take either Spenser's or Santo spot. He can shoot and a bigger rebounder.
Until, they get active big, nothing will change for the Warriors (6-11, 7-0)
better help is a scam. please stop promoting them
During season if Kerr does throw in GP, Pod,Curry, Green Moody that would be nothing more than a gimmick basketball. In a 7 games series good luck!
When it comes to trade, they can get a pick for a player clear up cap and take a gamble ink Post to a regular contract instead of a two way.
Sadly with Melton One person regardless of how much we love him is GP 9 M contract. Clear that contract wait until F/A to open in Dec.
I dont think injuries to clear up minutes nor Pod starting is a non starter for me. Pod isnt relevant as a starter at the 2.
You guys are saying that if you play well on a Warriors Team you get moved to the back of the line.
Moody, plus 14, blocks Steph in practice had best game against Sacramento in playoffs! Wiggs has to go to bench and get less minutes. Getting ridiculous Kerr! Water needs 10-15 if he has that 3 ball! Curry, Melton, Kumminga, TJD, Dre. Quick off bench Moody, Wiggs, Pod, SLO Mo! Let Buddy come in launch 4 3âs a half!
The Warriors roster is fine. They just need to establish the pecking order. Everybody has a wishlist of thing we canât even afford. We develop stats we donât always have to buy them.
Moody is better than Hield. I will keep saying, the problem is steve kerr, who donât trust in him. Better in size, finish to the rim , defensively and hustle player.
maybe they should play 10 guards together.
Just another reason expansion being a strong mustđ Quinten đŁ
G = Curry
G = Podz
C = Payton
F = Hield
F = Melton
Starting 5: Curry, Melton, Wiggins, Green, Jackson-Davis
Second 5: Podziemski, Hield, Kuminga, Anderson, Moody (or Looney)
Draymond having to start presents problems. With him being a non-shooter, it's hard to put another non-shooter (Jackson-Davis, Looney, Anderson) next to him in that lineup.
Is Lindy waters a defensive stopper? I know he can shoot 3s…. but ive heard he is a below average defensive player. they call him 3 and D though
