Not feeling the roster just yet
As long as parasite cp3 stays it's over.
It makes no sense we still don’t have a real center to backup Looney
Tristan Thompson played great when given playing time with the Lakers. We can get Dwight, who can provide physicality. We NEED more height.
These guys are in denial. Pooles scoring was extremely needed and when he didn’t score the warriors struggled.
CP does not replace that. I know everyone acts like the warriors just need to worry about defense/turnovers but scoring does not come easy. Basically if klay is having an off night they are probably losing and klay has a lot of off nights
We still need a rim protector for the bench.
Curry is my guy but wrong with that take tho. Roster is not done and does not make sense. They still need more size! Chris Paul I fully believe will get traded again. I think Warriors traded for him to get a leverage piece on a expiring contract. And Chris Paul has expressed he doesn't want to come off the bench so hows that going to work!? It's inevitable. With the current open roster spot I think they should sign Christian Wood to a vet min deal or wait and hope Dallas waives Javale Mcgee and bring him back.
Don't gimme no bammer!
No one thought the '21-22 team was a title team. This team has all the same components.
– 2 smart guards to back up Steph.
– Moody / Kuminga need to fill the 2/3 backup roles with Kuminga playing the occassional 4.
– Saric is the Otto / Belly replacement.
– Hopefully Gp2 is healthy
– Anything from the rookies would be a bonus
(Quinones will have a moment or 2 this season.)
What Steph is saying is true. You started the season with 6 players under 25 that are still developing. Let’s be real PBJ, Rollins, Wiseman/GP2, Iggy, and that 15th spot that went to Lamb were all wasted spots last year. GS kept adding young players for this “two timeline” approach instead of adding vets that can help to the roster. This year they basically gave PBJ and Rollins away just so they can get those roster spots back
The year the they won the championship the bench was filled with solid vets. GPII, JTA D LEE, Otto Porter, and Belly. That is who Jordan Poole played so well with. Last season James, Ty Jerome, Jamychal Green, and Anthony Lamb are very different players so the bench wasn't as strong. Other than Chris and Gary, I'm not sure about this bench.
With the smoke cleared I'd say Bob had a different vision than the owners. I figured it was Bob who wanted to keep the core together and when he left there would be major changes… sign and trade for Draymond and then trading Klay. I was wrong, unfortunately. Now we're going to have to watch these old dogs slowly die. They're adding 1 year contracts around them, guys i like. They traded a lot of their youth for an aging expiring legend to run the 2nd unit… which was much needed without Iggy contributing. Poole couldn't handle that assignment and was ready to have a bigger spotlight. He led the league in ft% but wasn't given the technical foul shots. He played brilliant bball and should have been starting over Klay but didn't. He talked more shhht than Draymond and got dropped. Now it's his show in Washington… best of luck. PBJ will be a nice role player… he's skilled. Rollins is an interesting project… not sure who he becomes but i saw his potential.
Kuminga and Moody… combined 10mil of potentially tradable assets? Or building blocks of the future?
GP2 better get back on the Bonds special superhero sauce.
This team is old and scrappy but not title contenders… unless there's another trade.
