KAT doesn’t have any heart to win, don’t trade for em
Warriors should just move on from draymond. Dude is like 34, disrupts team chemistry with his antics, and gets suspended at least once every postseason lol. Just find somebody else to play defense who’s younger and not an asshole 🤷♂️
A trade for Claxton or Jusuf Nurkic makes the most sense because we wouldn’t have to give up a lot.
We also need perimeter defense, so that’s something to target in free agency.
WARRIORS Raptors trades were garbage. No reason for the Raptors to do either one.
Crumbling because previous drafts of big men has been a dud and the big three getting old.
The video is mostly just different ways teams can fleece the Raptors. 😂
I like the og trade honestly
Saw the thumbnail and just came here to say a resounding NO to trading for KAT
I like the first trade — Boucher could be a backup big and Dubs get OG for wing help, while JP could take over the Raps back court if Fred leaves
the KAT trade sucks arse
poole and kuminga for buddy hield amyles turner and a SRP. turner is the best fit for the warriors, he’s and elite rim defender that can run in transition and can also hit 3s. buddy is an elite off ball shooter that comes off screens and that is the bread and butter of the warriors system. with buddy and turner on the team they can run a variety of versatile lineups that can run opposing bigs off the floor by putting draymond at center and inserting buddy in to create a 4 shooter lineup around draymond’s playmaking or run a traditional lineup with turner and still have draymond as the lone non-shooter.
How about Poole to the magic
MAGIC:
Johnathan Isaac -> warriors
RJ Hampton -> heat
Mo Wagner -> heat
Fultz -> heat
WARRIORS:
Poole -> magic
Baldwin -> magic
HEAT:
Jovic – warriors
Duncan Robinson -> magic
2024 1st round pick -> magic
Here the heat get a center in MO Wagner who in his games at Orlando proven he was a good bench addition with limited minutes. This helps their hole at the 5 spot.
The heat also need depth and talent at the point and shooting guard positions as Lowry and gabe Vincent are their current point guards and Lowry is most likely going to be traded and Vincent extended. So fultz finally has a place where he can go to play with Vincent. And rj Hampton gets more of a possibility of play playing behind herro. Heat get younger talent AND back up and get rid of Duncan robinsons contract for just a pick. To some this may sound like not the best trade but giving away a pick and a player who hasn’t played in jovic for a good backup centre like MO and a PG like fultz is actually a good trade off for less salary.
Here the magic lose Johnathan Isaac who has been injured and is pretty much out of the game plan with Paolo and Wendell carter being starters. He still is good but how good is still in question, he’s a bit older than their current roster and has a bigger contract for someone who isn’t contributing as much. Giving him away is a good move to free up salary and get a return whilst he has value. Fultz is a good player but Cole Anthony is better even in backup, Fultz finally gets a place to prove himself in a playoff ready team. He will only get older and further from the teams future plan with all the magics picks. Giving away rj Hampton clears space for new picks to have a position in the squad and similar with okeke who doesn’t have much opportunity to play due to their dense PF list.
The magic get back Poole whos a good proven SG who can make a front court (I think it’s that one I always forget) of Cole Anthony, jalen suggs and Jordan Poole. Magics picks will most likely be chosen on the best option available or SF spot as that’s their position with the least depth. So getting Baldwin back who can play SF and is a good shooter can provide that back up to franz.
Warriors give up a player who is young and talented but offensively not consistent or good with choices… he is a smart player tho as he works with the warriors complicated systems, however his contract is a problem and his shooting can easily be replaced. This allows the warriors to keep Draymond who is actually much better as a defensive and anchor for the team, he’s been there for all their wins after all… there may be some controversy around his character and skill and contract but his role and ability to work in their system is hard to find or match.
The warriors also give away Baldwin who is as a good young talent but they also have kuminga and moody at that position and they are playoff ready. The warriors get back okeke who is a small 4 but is a good future back up for the warriors. They also get jovic who is very good at playmaking and is an agile and good at shooting PF/SF/C his foot speed could suit them behind looney. So okeke and jovic can be backups and give warriors depth at the 4/5. You may say that why would they need okeke, jovic kuminga moody looney Draymond. All at the four and five BUT curry and klay who knows how long they’ll last before they retire and who knows how safe from injuries they can be, klay might be gone next year or the year after and warriors don’t have the most picks. So if Draymond goes then they still have plenty future stars left. That’s a good trade off for Poole however poole was a big part of their game plan starting or being sixth man so…. Jonathan isaacs defence is vital
As a warriors fan, ngl, I don’t like any of these trades
Before getting into the video, everyone that is not a Warriors Fan already know! 🤣🤣🤣 all I hear is how the Warriors will attempt trades for Towns or The Greek Freak. Guess the views have to come from some where even if those trades are going to be completely unrealistic. 🤷♂️
The crumbling Warriors? They are the defending champs, they had off court issues that distracted the team this szn. I’d say it’s more unfortunate
People don’t realize the Warriors need another playmaker and the only trade that makes sense is siakam
The Toronto trade for OG would work very well, although Toronto would likely want much more draft capital considering Anunoby's value on the market. A trade I drew up had Poole, Kuminga, and 2023/2027 frps for OG, Otto Porter Jr, and Malachi Flynn. This way, both teams get what they want in an even valued trade
The Warriors trading for Karl Towns would be a complete mistake, even if it was doable. He doesn't fit on the Warriors because of lack of defense (which they need) and effort (the Warriors' offense is near-constant motion and KAT seems lazy frequently).
Rudy Gobert on the warriors would be crazy
Poole for Dfs and cam Johnson seems realistic and fair imo maybe the warriors throw in kuminga and some picks and get claxton as-well potentially
These trades are absolutely hilarious. Basically, the Warriors are giving out trash and expecting gold in return. I'd like to swap my Honda Civic for a Lambo too please.
nobody is trading for pool nobody
Smoking something with that KaT trade for poole
Nba discourse is beyond terrible. Jordan Poole had one bad year now he might have the worst contract in the league? What?
If the warriors want Kat, I want draymond green, kuminga, and a boat load of picks. At least 2 unprotected firsts. If that’s too high of a price to pay consider this. Kat has chemistry with Wiggins already, and he’s the best 3 point shooting big ever. Period. True he’s not an alpha, but he can be the best possible compliment to curry, and fit perfectly into their system. Also, as a timberwolves fan, I’d rather run it back knowing that both Gobert and Kat will increase their value again next year with better chemistry, an entire offseason, and no injuries. (Hopefully) also Minnesota did the best against Denver shorthanded. If they have naz and McDaniels for that entire series, they probably take it to 7, and/or even win it. Also if McDaniels and Reid don’t get injured they beat the lakers in the playin and play the grizzlies round 1 instead.
leave it to warriors fans to hate their players then overvalue them once they're in the trade machine
Nah we not trading OG, i'd be fuckin furious. Its time for pascal to move on so scotty can get more touchs.
Bleacher report is garbage
I think OG, KAT, and Siakam will get traded but not to the Warriors. Toronto will rebuild. Its going to be hard to get off Poole its a terrible contract that has no value. at his best he was a sixth man that didnt deserve that contract I don't know what the warriors was smoking. They GM must have still been drunk from the chip parade.
No Kat we don’t want him he’s soft and can’t play D
