Golden State Warriors Talk

Lol at giving a complete failure since 2019 when that time frame includes a title.

Obviously they missed out on some draft picks especially on Wiseman. I was critical of the Moody pick but that's probably on Bob Meyers. In any case, just because the draft hasnt been great doesn't mean you just trade picks away now. Building through the draft has always been the way to build teams and that wont.change.

The caveat is that We have a generational player on the roster that demonstrated he could still win a championship. But Ownership was looking at 2028 already?

you absolutely trade those picks to maximize that window. Let's say we traded first rounders from 2022- 2027, would have likely been high picks, rather than imagined lottery picks. We've spent 1st rounders on salary dumps

Steph is why the team is going to get worse and worse. You can't build around him at his age and improve IMO. Reminds me of the end of the Bonds era.

Also, Dunleavy may be the worst draft pick the Warriors have made in my life. It is close with him, Fuller and Washburn.

James Wiseman is right there as well.

They easily could have built around them but whiffed on picks. Steph still plays at a high level when healthy. If we had some younger legs we could get by.

They could still build around him but choose to keep picks. You're telling me Lacob/FO can draft someone better than Jaylen brown or AD?

Hell even if they traded for Brown (3-4 first rounders) they could flip brown in two years to recoupe a pick or two.

If this FO had a plan to tank, they would entertain trade offers for Steph. They clearly don't want Steph gone for following reasons 1) fan revolt
2) no attraction 3) Steph winning another title elsewhere

Enjoying all the slander Lacob and FO is rightfully getting from national media rn

front office has no interest in building a team, just keep trying for random superstars

That was a really good interview from him

I guess they should just play with what they got instead of creating more cap hell or whatever

The trade deadline time might be more better for them... free agency wasn't all that as far as available players the Dubs could "realistically" sign w/out giving up too much and overpaying

If by the time playoffs come and Dubs somehow get in with a healthy and rested Steph, Dray, KP, Podz and Horford... they just might be a hard out, especially if "playoff Jimmy" surprisingly appears. It's wishful thinking that maybe Santos, Richard, Melton, Leon (if they keep him) and maybe Cryer can take a big step (improved a lot). I like the rook, Yaxel, might be somebody, ya never know...
