No picks for Porter. And imagine Okongu instead of Wiseman
Gsw have guys that can play center but they keep saying we need more help but they don’t talk about how Kerr playing 4 guard putting draymond at center I mean this guys not making any sense I mean the guy with the glasses want to say who is the real problem but the skinny dude not letting him
If they do nothing you complain….if they do something you complain….cmon be serious
The common theme whether warriors win or loose is, why is Kerr compromising the team to cater to podz?
Podz + buddy on court together = instant loss (worst back court in the nba) don't be fooled by the effort every single team shoots over podz and buddy like they never existed
Podz + gp2 = instant down 7-10 points.
So the real question is why does Kerr play 2-3 guards ALWAYS to cater to podz?
This team gets better by subtraction whether it's trades or injuries. Eye test dont lie, stats don't lie.
Dunleavy gota take away the toys, it's obvious that the addict can't help himself reverting.
吉巴交易巴換來更好適配柯瑞定能奪冠😂🎉
Comparing Alexander to moody lol
Sooo alexander wasn’t “messed with” his first 5-6 years but moody was please
Moody stinks
Podz and Moody can't create their own shot if their lives depended on it.
Combined 1-7 FG, 5 points, 2 reb in 33 combined minutes…but hey, they fit what Steve wants to do….right?
It’s only 72 hrs until MPJ arrives… hopefully
Dear lord compared jk to porter jr of course Porter Junior would close games. The guy can score we need guys that can score. Games aren’t gonna be that close. We have him on our team.
Kolsky is worked up this episode. But I think you’re over valuing defense. Unless it’s point of attack demon which just not available, offense in today nba is the way to go. Lauri I think is slightly better than mpj but I would rather have mpj. For what the warriors do, he would fit better. I just think the value of playing years with a superstar player, being able to fulfill a role well, and honestly would complete that us nicely. We are no longer a small team. He’s over 40% for career if I’m not mistaken he will have the green light.
Steve Kerr needs to be investigated for intentionally throwing games with his obvious piss poor coaching and line-ups. It's either he has dementia or he is involved in a gambling syndicate and wrecking the Warriors. #firestevekerr
Nothing will get better until you address 3 issues:
1. Draymond being old, small, slow, unathletic, center, and a primary ball-handler
2. Kerr's rotations and hatred towards true bigs and scorers
3. Dunleavy not making enough moves, or making bad moves
Every trade scenario will result in a player out of position for Kerr, with Draymond at Center. Dunleavy is asleep in the front office, so any draft picks will be wasted, and we'll have this same circus of WTF are we doing. It starts will Kerr, Dunleavy, and Draymond being the washed anchor of a fallen dynasty.
JK has routinely out played Jalen Johnson whenever they have played head-to-head. JK is stronger and more athletic, and often JK has flashed the height of his skills against Jalen’s “defense”. The missed draft pick was Trey Murphy. So similar to Moody, but older and more ready to contribute than Moody. I get the fascination with Moody’s potential, but the team needed a ready-to-contribute player.
Dubs aint gonna get anything better than Porter. Is he the most perfect player ever created? No, can he help them alot? probably. 2026 first, who cares. 2028 first, top 10 protected? yeah, not a ton of risk on that. If ur talkin like 29-21 unprotected, maybe u got a point but they need something & not many options right now. Pull the trigger on this nonsense & make these games somewhat enjoyable to watch
Steve Kerr will never develop a star player; the current stars are already getting old, it's time to fire Steve Kerr.
Kerr likes Green, Moody, Podziemski, and Payton, and none of them have any talent right now.
We should be very grateful and happy to have Jimmy Butler on our team. We have been truly blessed and fortunate to be warriors fans. It has been a great time. As a basketball and warrior fan I feel a huge level of gratitude
Just imagine if the FO drafted Trey Murphy and Jalen Johnson instead of drafting JK and Moody in the 2021 class…Steve, STOP the non sense SMALL lineup !!
YES 7:46 look @ Dudes like Mcadue who would come in like 5 for 5 literally every time, he new where to be & what his role was Melton was forcing tonight, the bench needs to stick to that Dubz formula
I would like a good 4 spot or lengthy 3 who has high % 3ball for JK
Kolsky, I''ve read that JKs camp wanted him to sit. Look at what happened to AD. And the Ws agreed, probably because they have a handshake deal in hand. In short it's not Kerr's stubborness or supposed desire to ruin JK (!!????really??) that accounts for JK not playing. Once JK goes elsewhere, we shall see. Wiseman has never developed anywhere. Supposedly it was Kerrs fault when Wiseman was here. p.s. the Ws aren't going to the finals almost no matter what. Keep the picks, outside of Markannen. Or pick up Wiggins as part of a three team deal.
The roster construction is on Kerr. No draft pick gets selected without Kerr’s endorsement and also, a very good draft picks don’t get selected by Warriors because they don’t fit Kerr’s architype (which has nothing to do with being a great basketball player)
Bottom Line
Warriors needs: a new coach, a new system and a new roster. the formula is simple: more pick and roll, more athletic wings, more spacing, more development and less rigid structure. The Real Issue: The Warriors have been trying to keep the dynasty alive with an outdated system, a mismatched roster, declining veterans, weak defensive coaching, a front office that’s too sentimental. The Bottom Line: Steph is still elite — but the infrastructure around him is not. Fix the architects. Fix the builders Then fix the roster.
Hard playing in the nba when you are a g league team
Trading JK before replacing Kerr is a huge mistake. Kerr should be and will be gone regardless, but to get rid of JK before knowing how he would perform under another coach is a huge mistake. Kerr is systematically eroding the Warriors but crushing the confidence of everyone outside of Curry. They will regret trading JK regardless of what they get back, but if they are not going to get rid of Kerr than the Warriors have no choice. Kerr could easily be replaced but JK is unique and you cannot find players with that kind of talent when you’re going to have to trade away first round picks to trade him away.
Keep Steph and Jimmy And Dre maybe Al everybody else can go
Chuck would sell all his pants for a 1% increase in the Warriors chance to avoid the play-in.
My guy, we need quality. And you need pants.
comparing NAW to Moses Moody😭 dude on the right does not know ball
GSW better get rid of JK, Buddy, and Podz or were cooked. Like even getting Monk would be better than keeping Buddy or Podz at the least.
