Mailbag Question: is this not the best possible time/situation to move off of Draymond? I think the Ws should find someone else for elite defense and/or draft compensation and remove the cloud of his craziness from the franchise. Thoughts?
Get rid of Draymond (if anybody wants him)
Its hard to hear these blind warriors takes. They would not have beaten the lakers with another big man and kuminga is not a valuable asset
Not if it takes Kuminga. Give Kuminga 30mpg and watch what he does!
Pascal is in a contract year man he’s not taking a team friendly deal when he can get more money in the market he’ll essentially be a rental whether we win a title or not
guy keeps interrupting Jason lmao
The same reason the looney draymond front court doesn’t work anymore can be applied to siakam the guy can’t shoot anymore and is a mediocre defender. And acting like kuminga is some incredible asset when all he’s shown in 3 years is a guy that is an incredible athlete and not much else is very rose colored glasses way of looking at it. The answer is so clearly Lauri regardless of what you have to give up pick wise.
Saying Kuminga will be better than Siakam is wild imo
Would be nice but if Masai wanted 5 firsts for OG what would it cost to get Pascal Siakam coming off an all-star season? I've been a GS fan for a long time I'm not interested in going back to being a bottom-feeder team with no future. If it can be done for CP3, Kuminga and like 2 firsts cool. But if they end up with no draft capital I don't think it's smart. Especially with Siakam being in a contract year
No way the dubs make a trade. Not their style.
this guy talks over the end of Jason's sentences SOOOOO BAAAAAAD it's painful to listen to/watch
Lauri or siakam?who you want
I'd rather trade Wiggins then kuminga
Trade wiggins. It's his motor that bothers me.
That's y they regret trading him. U don't trade futures superstars. Wiggins n moody for pascal
Keep Kuminga, trade Moody and Wiggins, put Draymond out to pasture. Maybe some team will pay Draymond the vet minimum to be their enforcer. He joins Dillon Brooks on the list of discarded misfits. I am on the fence with B. Podz. He’s got heart and freakish talent for a 20 year old, but I question his durability. Guys like him don’t always hold up well after being banged on by bigger bodies night after night. Even Iverson couldn’t avoid getting banged up.
Did theae guys not watch the game last night? Kuminga literally did all of that last night and creates his own shot…
You don’t trade Kuminga for Pascal when he’s looking to get paid and not take a cut. Go Lauri instead
I hope they let Wiggins go.
Kuminga is indispensable.
Let me make this perfectly clear, THEY NOT PART WITH KUMINGA, not now. So, that is not on the table.
Pascal next to Warriors spacing would literally dominate teams. Most fans don’t understand he’s one of the best interior scorers in the league while being on such a poorly spaced team. Raptors only have 1 maybe 2 outside shooting threats defences respect (OG & Scottie). Next to Curry and Klay?? Siakam would dominate.
im not sure about draymond at the 5. just having steph at the 1-2 causes mismatch issues and with the current trend of extremely athletic wings and bigs i dont think draymond would work. i think steph, klay, [future trade], draymond, trayce as a 5 would also make the bench elite.
Get rid of Dray but never JK. Give JK more time on the court and draw plays for him. If kerr will only do the right thing and decisions are sound, GSW will be champs once again.
12:34 wiggs is supposed to be that bucket getter. Idk whats going on with him. But if they could markannen that'd be a huge upgrade
Trading Kuminga for a 29 year old would be a really dumb and impulsive move. Wiggins, Looney, and some picks is what I would lean towards. Kuminga should be untouchable.
