Name a player the Warriors should sign in NBA Free Agency?
Don’t worry, Steve and Curry make more money in China then the warriors
I always wanted Lonzo Ball because of his defense, high IQ, and passing ability. If healthy he should be the obvious choice. Of course every player traded or bought isn't 100% now. Just trading expensive cripples now!
Bro you don’t know 💩 about basketball!
Malik Williams and Isaac Jones please talk about these two players for the gsw
Cam
None of this really matters. Lmao free agents are not the answer! See ya next season. Peace!!!
Waive Podz then get Cam Thomas and maybe 6'11 Duop Reath. Need another C/PF.
Then sign Pat Spencer or get someone else too.
Lacob has failed miserably. Dumpleaver is just a yes man. We are headed right back to the old Warriors. Strap in folks it's gunna be a lame ride!
To everyone freaking out friendly reminder we have a winning record against the suns, the lakers, and the Spurs. The dubs right now as constructed are better than all of those teams without Jimmy. The record is making everyone feel worse than they should. Steph is playing great, melt has been great, Al has been great, Moses has been better, pat spencer has had flashes, will Richard has been great. If kp can be healthy which is a big if this team absolutely can win a playoff series against the lakers or suns and I don't hate their chances against the rockets or Spurs either. The only teams we should really worry about is Denver and OKC. It's not the end of the world.

The front Office is horrible and need to fired, along with kerr
Georges Niang is a nice player. Hes about 6'8" and can shoot it & is used to winning cultures. I like Lonzo "if you didn't need him to score" because he sees the floor extremely well and has size about 6'7". Cam is a scorer, but if hes gonna put up bad shots & shoot poor percentages, whats the point?
Let’s be real here, they’re going to sign someone from the g league 😤
Chris Boucher should be the obvious target
Cam Thomas is waived by team so warriors should get him before other teams 💀 he will be big help
Easy, someone who looks just like Podz, but taller, better, and breaks into Kerr's brain before he yells, "Podz my golden step-son, go forth and be like I was when I used to play" a baby unicorn
C-
F
D GRADE. We traded 3 players who dont play for 1 player that doesnt play and a draft pick we they wont develop
All terrible
We dont want them! Theres reason thejr being bought out!
Let's just sign every player who is injured and/or prone to injury 💪
It's over for the Dubs, let's all go support the Celtics with Smitty, Vuci man is the 'young' version of Horford and The Big dingus that Dublevy was supposed to get.
Lonzo Ball
i remember george niang lit us up for like 30 last year lmao
Cam Thomas and boucher
F
They definitely need to makeup for not getting lamelo 😢😢 go get lonzo so steph can run around like a happy camper😂😂
I already love what your talking bout i heard lonzo i dnt need to hear nothing else
B
Give Pat more minutes I believe he surprises us on the buyout for me it's ball or niang
I don’t understand how the trade deadline was disappointing. They tried do giannis. What more do you want them to do? Act out emotion like you and not think logical? Warriors fans are true brats. It’s not 2016 anymore😂 let go of the golden days. KP is a good pivot
We must be realistic the best fit is highsmith but we need scoring when porzingis or curry are hurt we need a further scorer and he is a good microwave scorer too! So please dubs take Cam Thomas!!!
Trash trade. F –
Where the hell is Seth Curry did he get a backyotomy 😆
Your being dramatic they don’t need everything just a piece or 2, you over doing it smh good thing your not the coach!
F- unless the grab Cam! Then maybe we can bump it up to B+
Podz could do it? says all we need to know about your show which i still can't believe you still have a show! why in the hell would we pick up Cam Johnson another Guard under 6'4 when this team needs size and a 3 and D Wing?
c+
I love this show but the trade wasn't that bad. Look at who they dumped? Kuminga and Hield? No one wanted either of them. This is about next year. Porzingis is on an expiring and he'll be a cheap option if he gets back half his health. And they kept both Bulter and Green .
We’re kinda in a wait and see with the unicorn! If he can stay healthy? Curry got his center rim protection that can shoot!👍🏽
Cam Thomas only plays when his mom on the sidelines.. so um wtf
F
It’s it possible to sign Malik Beasley
Get Pat Spencer. Right now.
