I'm not asking for that every night, give me more then half of that a night along with his great defense and I'm happy with him.

Wiggins is having a very good year. Super defense, shooting 37% on 3's and the only Warrior dependable enough to not miss a game. Some of you guys just think of his draft position and his salary and think he should be James Harden. He is a very good - not great player.

His pay ! Yes, that's the problem, he's a third option getting paid like a 1st, you don't see that as a problem ? Bc of his pay he's hindering the team to have better players. He's one of the most overpaid players in the NBA.

What "better player" would the Warriors have right now if they didnt have Wiggins?

Question. Would you rather have A, B, or C
a) D'Angelo Russell at almost 29M
b Wiggins at just over 29M and Minnesota's top 3 protected pick next year
c) none

This was the question facing Myers when KD left. Of course he didnt know that Klay would go down again and miss another year. I think he made the right choice for sure.

It's not that simple as the team would have been over the cap with or without the acquisitions for Russell and Wiggins. In that situation we would have been left with only the Mid level exception like we're right now which doesn't always get you much in Free agency. A big part of making the Sign and Trade for Russell was about preserving KD's Max Slot which Myers never would have been able to replace.

Poole is making the most of his call to the show. Looks like he belongs in the big leagues.
