That GP2 sequence at the end of last night’s game: pass deflection, forcing the jump ball, winning the jump ball – that encapsulates how valuable GP2 is to this team. Especially seeing that Wiseman is an everyday DNP for the Pistons now, and probably out of the league in a couple years.

This trade is the best thing that happened last year.
I am a Wise believer, but man he is so hard to defend; especially with what GP2 provides. Did y’all see his defensive recovery on Giddey that led to the jumpball in the 4th ? Gary sticks to you like glue on defense. Absolutely incredible (pun intended)
Wiseman was in same draft as Anthony Edwards, but AE was taken by Minnesota anyways. Crazy how you cant see or predict busts.
Hard to argue the Wiseman pick too much; obviously hindsight 20/20 and clearly best move was to move on. I continue to wish him the best, seems like a good kid. But the Poole trade will go down as the more important trade if we can get another ring.
I’m amazed at the similarities between Wiseman and Trey Lance. Bay Area Covid-era draft picks that didn’t have enough tape or experience, but were drafted based on potential and positional need, and ended up busting horribly. Thank god both teams managed to figure out a way through those mistakes!
the only negative about this trade is that we even had to make it, coulda resigned GP2 and let Wiseman go at the start of the year
wiseman unfortunately just seemed like he had all the physical tools but lacked the basketball iq and focus to ever get nba pt
Man wiseman is a terrible bust- feels bad cuz he seems like a good kid, had a friend that works at the arena who met wiseman a few times and loved him, super nice kid but man he is not an NBA player
The defense last night by GP2 at the end sealed it. So money.
GP2 was amazing in the closing minutes. Disrupted OKC offense that lead to Klay steals and free throws, Caught the lob from Draymond, tied up with Giddy and won the tip that lead to a warriors offesive conversion. All over the floor contributing in huge ways
I feel terrible for James Wiseman, he had all the tools but just couldn’t really figure the game out.
Wouldn’t be surprised to see him out of the league in a couple years.
Regardless of their play, Wiseman and Poole had the worst attitude on the team. I am glad they’re both gone.
I’m going to get killed in this thread but how much help do the 49ers need at D- line. It’s almost like the KD warriors now after the chase young trade lol
