Emergency podcast: Warriors acquire GP2 after trading James Wiseman to the Pistons | Dubs Talk

It’s Steve Kerr!! Not having a page in his coaching repertoire for offensive bigs. It’s not James fault. I am so disappointed. He’s the general, he needs to know how to use his troops. If he doesn’t do good there play him at 4. The league is shifting again, the skilled offensive bigs are running things. Positionless but still big. That’s the analytic, that’s the eye test, that’s the truth. Giannis, KD, Jokic, Embiid, even AD. Can you imagine if any of these wanted to come to GSW, we’d say because they cannot do the other stuff, so it’s not a fit. Just let’s be true, it’s Steve Kerr.
I appreciate the emergency podcast. Happy GP2 is back. The Warriors will have three excellent defenders in Klay, Wiggins, and GP2.(Kuminga is improving)I believe in the Warriors Championship DNA that has shown up when they have played the Celtics and Grizzlies. If Ja Mychal Green stays healthy, he will be an excellent reserve big. Warriors don't need a big star. Just someone who can provide the intangibles that Looney and Draymond provide. It's supposed to be challenging to repeat. Winning a chip is hard. If everyone is healthy, the Western Conference playoffs are going to be entertaining for sure! Let's Go, Dubs!
Now all of you James Wiseman haters out there watch the biggest mistake that the warriors have made in the last 10 years happen with the Pistons we should’ve got rid of Steve Kerr before James Wiseman watching the warriors play for the last two years I’ve seen exactly what they need they need a center and being that the salary cap is what it is they’re not bout to be able to get a good sitter so why not train a good center because the coach was not good enough James Wiseman is about to go on a tear through the eastern conference and the Golden State Warriors will want him back and not be able to get him
Watch this 40 piece that James Wiseman gets his first day with a bad boy pistons
This doesn't have anything to do with Steph its the front court basically Dray who's going to opt in JW was a sacrifice for next year and he wouldn't be able to get the position in the front court.
Remember when the Warriors tried to trade Curry early in his career? Well, they just traded Wiseman. Seems like the W's did this for financial reasons.
No organization or individual is perfect, we all make mistakes so people should stop harping on the supposed mistakes that the GSW/Steve Kerr/Bob Myers made. In the first place we don’t know the circumstances around each event and decision, we only see part of what is going on. What does it say about the organization if the entire league is making adjustments to deal with the Warriors?
I’m glad for wiseman but warriors are dumb a former number 2 for gp2 😂😂😂
Here we go with Monte and his Kuminga slights again. "Good at times" as a PoA defender. Always needs to put a qualifier in there.

Wiseman will go down as a failure by coaching staff, not front office. No reason he should have been getting DNPs. We are 2 games above .500 and still have no clue about how good Wise could’ve been. He could have played at least 30+ games this szn and we would still have the same record. I’ve said since the beginning Ty and Lamb should not be getting JK and Wise’s minutes, the only thing that accomplished was delaying JK getting to his role now and hindering Wise’s development, for maybe 2-3 extra wins? At the very least, if the coaching staff still wasn’t sold on Wise, you are showcasing him to get better trade compensation. I love Steve but this was obviously a failure by him, and unfair to Wise and the fans. You ultimately did not let the 2nd overall pick play, to be a .500 team; we wanted to see his potential and we could have and still been within the record we have now.
I’m sorry but the Warriors won last year because yes they played well but they were also very fortunate. Steph, Klay and Draymond are not the same from 5 years ago, the west is stacked this year. The reality is they’re a mediocre team GP2 is fan favorite but he’s not gonna fix the teams deficiencies, he hasn’t played this year and he’s a liability on offense. If we don’t make the playoffs and Wiseman starts blossoming in Detroit maybe the management is the problem.
Should of just kept playing wiseman, by now, he'd be a better defender and have better chemistry
I'm telling you Marquese Chriss is the one player that fills the void along with GP2 unless we can miraculously get Bol bol ❤️💪💯
They should never trade wiseman
He did get a Ring.
Kerr got him another guard!!! HAHAHA!!!
they need a better Developmental staff
they need to cut ties with Rollins. especially after he snaked his way unto
the franchise.
Without the injury's it would have workout fantastic what what he does in Detroit playing everyday
Steve Kerr just don’t know how to use centers. You can look at how we used Boogie. So knowing that, it’s insane that we wasted the pick on a center as opposed to someone like Haliburton which is more Kerr’s style. Kerr didn’t even try to use Wiseman (or Boogie’s) skillset to help our team win
The way I see it Warriors still needs a center but for now they have to go on. When you join a team you have to fit with the team
Lamelo wouldnt fit in our system. He doesnt play a lick of defense. We have enough scorers on this team. We need defense.
James needs to work on his jump shots. They are slow
I really hope for Wiseman to ✨ ✨✨shine ✨✨✨in Detroit! I’m certain he is very talented and deserving.
So, in about 3 years, the Golden State Warriors will be a waistband of a team.
speaking of javale mcgee. why didn't they re-sign him on the cheap before leaving the warriors. i am glad to know gp2 is back but i hope the wise man haunts the dubs decision to trade him. steve kerr with all his success has the same issue that former coach don nelson had. allergic to to developing and playing bigs. where is Nerlens Noel?
No one talks about Bob Myers' role.
A reason not to renew?
Pay Bob Myers all the monies.
Getting Andre. Getting Durant. Getting back GPII just to name a few.
These transactions were super complicated and intricate…. I don't believe 95% of the other GMs get these deals done.
Trading James Wiseman will be known as the "Golden Stat Curse".
