Golden State Warriors Will Not Bankrupt Team To Go All In For Steph Curry’s Remaining Years
The Steph Curry era of the Golden State Warriors could be nearing the last few seasons and many Warriors fans wonder how aggressive Joe Lacob will be in trying to send Steph out with his 5th championship. Lacob made an appearance on the Hoops Adjacent Podcast and said that he WILL NOT mortgage Golden State’s future, citing that the trade market is filled with illogical wants and can be the most dangerous way to try and improve your situation. Kylen Mills and Charlie Walter break down Lacob’s comments and discuss whether they agree with Lacob saying this year’s team will be better than the ’23-’24 installment.

that’s just leverage. GS don’t want to appear too desperate. judge what they do … not what they say
Great
Podz and Moody + draft picks for Markannen. Melton is backup PG.
Might as well trade curry, gsw should start the tank
As he should, this is part of his business. No owner would bankrupt his business.
He overspent for last 10 years and now he is even richer from Warriors franchise + his rocket 🚀 interest business. He doesn’t want to spend anymore?
I think after or just before 30 retires he is gonna sell the Warriors franchise.
Imagine that Steph Curry literally made that man a billionaire. Lacob should be forced to sell the team. He is an embarrassment.
Isn't kuminga a champion ?
Laurie isn’t Gianni’s or Lebron. Warriors need a tall defender and the only thing they can trade is one of the many forwards on the team or lots of picks, Not their only back up point guard. Utah can kick rocks after saying no to moody plus all those picks.
Should Steph request a trade after this season?
@lockedonwarriors Kylen & Charlie you both are talking for 34 mins and about players and owners but never mentioned about Bad Gut Kerr.
He is the reason Kuminga, Moody, Wiseman + many more were not developed properly. Also, no proper playtime for these folks.
He played CP3, Anthony Lamb, Jerome, Cory more than Moody and Kuminga.
Kerr has to GO
Team is better yes but still an average team not a contender team, at best 8 seed at worse 12 seed
Screw Utah. Trade kuminga for jimmy butler and some picks. Jimmy is tall enough and can shoot and defend. Laurie can’t defend. Or go after Ben Simmons or Julius Randal.
Draymond
wigs or kuminga
Jimmy buckets or Simmons or Randal
Steph curry
Insert another shooter here
And you going to the conference finals at the least. Keep pods and moody and picks for your future.
I want to know if TJD is working on his threes and freethrows. Screw Utah. If TJD becomes a shooter and decent ball handler, you no longer need a center.
#KylenMills ……Loving the fresh-natural beauty and charming appeal of KYLEN MILLS!👍❤️
I miss Cyrus. Charlie’s takes are awful. He talking about young players stepping developing and stepping in yet Kerr has not attempted to develop them for the most part … JK 7th in mins play yet #2 in scoring per 36 min … 3rd in fg% 4th plus minus. Moody barely plays … and the way the roster is set now he still not gone play buried behind Melton.. Buddy …& Podz. So what he say makes no sense… relying on guys we have not developed. We obviously need a trade we have too many players playing the same positions especially at guard. Trade anyone except kuminga… Podz is over valued he’s a role player. Willing to trade him and picks. As long as we have a core of Steph JK & Lauri and that deep roster we’d have a Chance. If it don’t work guess what we still have Lauri & JK ti build around … Steph has 3/4 more seasons in the tank. We’d be fine nest 3/4 seasons with them. By that time we’d have our draft picks Back. I don’t see the big issue … Again Lauri is only 27.
Kylen, I hear you on Lauri. He DOES fit. He's a player who fits almost anywhere. But, Pods was a rookie after limited college play, and he showed TONS last year as a rookie with the ball in his hands often. I trust him to improve, Im totally looking forward to his 2nd season, we just traded a HOF 2 guard (so therefore we need solid guards, both 1's and 2's); and we've already traded too many picks away. We need more picks, not less. Ainge will never give in, and he never seems to lose in trade value. We almost certainly therefore need to let Lauri go in our own heads and look elsewhere, basically because of Ainge, which is unfortunate. I really appreciate Lacob's straightforwardness, even if it only makes Dunleavys difficult job a hair less challenging in his efforts to secure another good manuever
Any team that makes the playoffs can make it to the finals. Like Lacob said, having the best team means nothing when you deal with injuries.
Lauri can fit in with the Warriors on offense, but what is the upside of Lauri on defense? A 7footer that can only average 0.5 blocks per game..
What does Lacob see that I dont. Steph has a few good years left. He needs a freak 7' dude who shot 8 3s a game and was more efficient then Steph scoring. Please no more role players. Lauri is young and secures our future. KD level shooting 7' dudes are super rare. Only Ainge would trade a guy like that.
kerr easily cost the team 10-15 Losses if not more with his weird small ball subbing rotation that was always the reason they blew so many leads
There are players available besides Lauri and let these young players develop and grow.
Can we talk about summer league? Can we talk about who is in the queue rather than all this played out trade theory?
What happened to giannis and KD rumours, why aren’t the warriors trynna sort something out there, for sure wiggins, Podz, moody, Kyle Anderson and 5 picks can get either one at bucks or suns, both those teams need a restart and for sure they can convince either of them to move
Lauri IS THE FUTURE!!!!! KUMINGA Podz Moody aren't All-Stars they're Potential…. Lauri IS MORE FUTURE THAN KPM…… KUMINGA has attitude problems he can't dribble in traffic any gives you four fantastic points a game everybody bass in his potential on two electric dunks every game is jump shot is inconsistent… This is not compared to a 7 ft stretch big that shoots 40% from 3… KPM isn't going to take you nowhere. Lauri is 27 he is Young you got at least eight nine years with him.
This team as it stands at best is a 8 seed team but mainly a playing team that will not make the playoffs. They are not contenders to Denver OKC Minnesota Phoenix the grizzlies with Jah the Kings with DeRozan it's not enough
It is snowball effect , draymond punched JP , the Front office didnt do anything to address it , that destroyed the chemistry , Front office gave that contract to JP to makes him happy , that messed up Klay's mentally , then klay started to force things to get his money and complicating even more the team chemistry , then this young guys got very limited time behind klays , and nobody told klay to play team basketball because his mind is not in the right space , meanwhile for unknown reasons wiggins keep missing time and coming back out of shape,..and in the middle of this never ending drama kerr continues with these crazy lineups at the end of games that turned almost guaranteed victories in losses.. Bro Lauri Markannen wont Fix all that crap, is a culture thing that was broken and needs to be fixed first ,..
