Curry is the warriors. The need to fire Kerr. He has no idea how to coach a team that isn’t full of talent
Windy sounds even more like Mrs Doubtfire today 😅
What he saying is “don’t make no moves to deplete our future for me” just trade me and get the pieces to keep building winning organization in the future.
It was never Darvin Ham's fault nor of Frank Vogel's. It always comes to what LeBron wants and if it doesn't work out he hangs all the blame on the coach or some X,Y or Z and walks away.
Warriors wouldn't be in this position if they didn't draft Wiseman.
This is extremely lazy analysis. The warriors don't need a better player than Steph to contend, they just need better players and better fits.
2 years ago, the Lakers got Rui, Vando and DLo at the deadline and went to the WCF. In 2022, the Celtics were sitting at 21-21, traded for Derrick White and went to the NBA finals.
The warriors have the assets to get better if they want to but they have to want to be better!!
Why the hell these guys not mentioning that the Dubs have done nothing for the last 3 years lol! I expected better from atleast Windy!
The NBA has gotten young fast and long. And the shooting is precise. If you dont have these ingredients, it's hard. .I go Moody and Podz for Dejante Murray. Trade Dray for a 1 pick to Detroit. Resign De Melton.
CURRY WASHED UP NOW
Bring Durant back
If curry really meant this, he would’ve took much less on his contract to give the Warriors more flexibility
Steph always been a real one… respect the greatness
Didn’t Windhorst disrespect the warriors by calling one of their victories a checkbook win?
Because 2025 and 2026 draft is stacked with talent
Also about the Tim Duncan Spurs, they are still a contender in his twilight stars because they had a Kawhi Leonard back then, Bontemps had a point, not gonna lie.
Steph and company hasn't found their version of Kawhi, which can lead a team even if he is in his twilight years.
It's amazing how all these 'NBA Pundits" (especially Bontempts) keep saying Jonathan Kuminga is a trade piece when he's been the second best player on the team for most of the last month of the season unitl he got hurt. One of the reasons the Warriors really suck right now is because JK isn't playing. Look at some of his game logs before he got injured.
The expectation from Jalen Green is to be a player that draws traps and the way he played the last Memphis game says that you should either let him shoot the three ball or trap him. If you try to go over the screen in a high pick-n-roll, he is beating the big man to the cup with that amount of distance to the basket. He is one of the fastest in open court. So, when the trap comes you get off the ball and dump it to Sengun and let him play 4 on 3 basketbal with Amen leaking to the dunker spot from the baseline and Fred and Dillion ready to trigger from three on the wings. Jalen's performance is the thing that will unlock the next tier of Rockets offense.
I think everyone overreacting I think he is saying we are fine we are right there with him taking a backseat overall to start the year. Look for Steph curry usage rate to go up towards and after the all star break
Let it ride for the rest of the year with Houston, they’re deep enough to withstand most short term injuries.
Golden state can still get someone good and give up wiggins moody and picks
I really dont think the Pistons should make any moves this season, the chemistry with these guys is amazing and they are only beginning to improve! We've suffered long enough, no need to rush the process now, we are improving! Let's go Pistons!!!
Suns are done
If hes so worried about the teams future he should request a trade so they can get assets for him. Why would he be in favor of perpetuating their midness by not wanting them to makes trades but also wanting to stay there
its wild how much hate Green gets from ppl who never played basketball and just provide "analysis" by reading numbers
They had to cut after MacMahon said "I am starting to wonder if it wasn't all Darvin Ham's fault" because it was so funny Brian probably laughed too much and Lebron wouldn't like that, so they had to edit it out
Why is Brian always wrong when recounting a game or a stat? Almost to the point it’s a talent to be this consistently incorrect.
Thankfully the Tims are here to correct him.. shows just how little actual basketball he watches and understands and purely makes his opinions on scouts and front office insiders rather than actual ball knowledge.
Think he should move to purely being the host and moderator and let the Tims speak on basketball, maybe when a contract extension is happening Brian can chime in as you can tell that’s what he really enjoys but I have to block him out when he tries talking about the game on the court.
He's right throwing everything into the wind, just to get an expensive fossil like LeBron is foolish.
Because that's exactly what everyone has been pushing. They wouldn't improve and they would lose valuable players. They should be setting everything up to build for the future.
Hey NBA Experts check Jalen Green's stats when he starts next to Amen Thompson and they say he's not a good player
Obviously he’ll be involved and maybe a stake owner of the company soon so.. yea makes sense
LEARN FROM THIS LEBRON JUMPSHIP
Trade dame for steph
I’ll trade Jaylen brown right now for Green Thompson and Eason
ESPN be running their employees into the ground
Curry has a point though. Just look at the Phoenix Suns with their big 3s—they went all in and now they're stuck, maxed out, and their star players are aging. Imagine GSW going down that path too.
If Steph wasn't dedicated enough to rehab and correct his ankle problems the dynasty would never have happened.
Windy stay with throat problems
When are the Lakers firing Rob Pelinka? That’s the question that needs answered.
the warriors franchise doesn't deserve steph curry
It's pretty obvious to me Curry and Green are getting equity in the team or something like that. That's why they're cool with not competing.
I'm old enough to remember another high-level defensive team with no stars like Houston that made it to the finals and won…04 Pistons.
Got it all wrong. Steph is challenging the locker room From #1 to #12 below .500 they need to wake the Fxx up and need to play at the higher level.
Jalen Green is having more of a flash now…since November 23rd he's averaging 24 on 46/38/89 splits
Feel better windy!!
Everybody is looking at the warriors all wrong. They shouldn't be looking at making a run for a championship. They should be looking at picking up a player to make the playoffs and make whatever noise can .
Im a raptors fan and i tip my hat to curry for being unselfish and looks out for the future of golden state.
Brian voice sounds like a drunk late 50s aunt at a funeral reception in Virginia
Sengun>>>Booker
❤
Bontemps a legend I don’t care what anyone says.
Curry knows at his stage in his career no player GS can add will make them a contender. Giving up young players and pick will not make them better. All it will do is kill any future they might have.
Gotta appreciate the dedication for Windy’s RFK Jr’s imitation for the whole pod. Bravo!
