Golden State Warriors Talk

Butler didnt come out aggressive and shot 9 times in 34 minutes which is a joke given what the Dubs needed from him with Steph out. But in the end the Wolves have the 2 best players and that was the difference

Assuming the tailbone injury is affecting him

Well it's sad that we went from championship admirations to basically looking hopeless but that happens when your Batman is out, and no1 but Kuminga stepped up, all I'm saying is look forward to an off-season of Giannis to the Warriors, I sure hope so but I doubt it. Since I doubt that this is For whoever follows the numbers, How much cap do we have ? Can we make any moves that'll help ?

Well, it's all over but the cryin'.
Doubt The Dubs can win 3 games in a row at this point!

It's on the thinking about next season; who should they keep, versus who should be gone.
Then, there's the question of which player(s) can be be added to the core group …

Gotta throw whatever to get Giannas

Yup, we can wish. Also, get rid of Dray, Looney, and Hield

Id say zero chance on Giannis. Who do the Warriors have that Milwaukee would want? Maybe Kuminga. But salaries have to match so they would have to take back Draymond and much more. Giannis wont go to a depleted team with no chance for a title. Teams like OKC, San Antonio, and Houston have young talent and tons of picks and much more likely to make a deal.

I agree. Warriors are on their last hurrah. In 2 years it's going to be a full rebuild.

I expect Lacob to go big game hunting tho. Edward's might be that guy a few years down the road (long shot)

You'd pretty much HAVE to trade Jimmy Butler because his salary matches. But I don't think a 36-year-old Jimmy Butler and three future 1sts is enough to even make the Bucks think about it. Not when teams like the Thunder/Spurs/Rockets have loads of draft picks (and in some cases, quality draft picks) to give up.

I think that rugged series against the Rockets took a lot out of this team. Not much energy in the second half. Missing Steph is obviously a big deal but Butler looks drained, Podz isn't playing the same and even Draymond isn't quite the same.

I don't think many of us expected this team to go deep into the playoffs. After all they had to get there by winning the play in. With Steph injured it was nearly impossible tha they could win.

Podz having a Harrison Barnes 2016 finals level performance

will take that if this is the end result

My hope is Lacob learned he should be aggressive these last few Steph years, because the NBA will award you the #1 pick at some point.

Proven the NBA is a better product when the warriors are doing good.

"So you're telling me there's a chan..."

Hindsight is 20/20, but damn did this team not capitalize on the three lottery picks with Wiseman, Kuminga & Moody. Hopefully, Kuminga has shown enough plus his potential/athleticism to be able to package in some type of deal to get some quality in return.

The past is the past but this series is a painful reminder to me of what could have been to have more young, quality talent on the floor and also to brace against an injury to the aging core. This team could have had guys like Haliburton (maybe a small trade down - no one had him going #2), Wagner & Sengun (or Murphy). Then, you've added enough impactful young talent to complement the existing core to where the "two-timeline" thing actually could work.

Still holding out hope for this series despite down 3-1. If they can somehow win Game 5 (maybe guys like Moody & Podz actually hit some shots and Kuminga keeps it up...maybe Randle cools off), then you've got Game 6 back in SF and hopefully Steph back if he's close to or at full strength. Then it's really on.

I dont give them any chance at all to win this series and will be pretty shocked if they win game 5 in Minnesota. Without Curry they are simply a flawed team.

I do blame Meyers for their terrible drafts and think he was overrated as a GM. He lucked out that West was a huge Klay fan and stopped the trade for Love. Durant was a gift from God and I believe the players were the reason that he came on board.

Wiseman was a bust but most people thought he was a star in the making. So I give him a slight pass there. But, taking Kuming and Moody instead of Wagner and Sengun was brutal. ESPECIALLY Moody over Sengun.

I trust Dunleavy more than Meyers. He has a tough job ahead though given their flaws and age.

Some very good points.

Though holding out hope for Game 5, am also realistic and would be very surprised if they pulled out a W.

I also very much blame Myers for those horrible drafts that were crucial to giving Steph and the other aging core the young talent they needed.

The offseason is going to be interesting in seeing what they do.
