Let's be honest here. The Warriors are screwed. Lacob is trying to sale you on two although good young players but they role players. Not needle movers. Neither Podz or Kuminga have been able to lead the team and win games in Steph's absence. Say what you want about Jordan Poole but he WON many games while Steph was injured. Steph missed 26 games during Poole's last season on the team. Poole averaged 26ppg and 5 assists which helped the Warriors win more games than they lost. WITHOUT STEPH! Need an example, go back to the 2022, Christmas Game where he went against Ja Morant and the Grizzlies. Poole was incredible scoring 32 points while Curry sat courtside coaching him up and looking on like a proud big brother! Until and Podz and Kuminga can step up to where they are leading and being major contributors to winning games with and WITHOUT the core, you don't have a franchise player in them yet.

You guys are delusional. Podz is an average player at best. Can't create his own shot or defend any elite guards. Don't talk about the window for Curry if you're not willing to trade a guard like him for Lauri a 7 footer. Guards are a dime a dozen.

I can see this team hovering around .500 for most of the year then possibly stealing a few at the end of the season IF the chemistry is there and Dray doesn't do anything crazy. I'm mostly worried about the interior defense and potential scoring droughts. The motion offense will be great for a a lot of players on this roster but is there someone else who has the handles and shot making ability in ISO situations NOT named Steph Curry? Can Kuminga be that in the mid-post area to add another dimension to this offense? But I really like the idea of Post a 3&D center @ 7'1 - like Zubac w/a jumper oooofffff!

43.5 wins. Do we want over? If we dont go all in and back Steph this year then we will sign Kuminga next year and commit to rebuild with Steph. REBUILD WITH STEPH?!?!?

Don't trade Jk

Hey jazz asking for to much for someone who not heallthy for the whole season warriors try some where else

You sound like Steve Kerr. This is basketball and he is too short. I don’t know what’s this obsession with the warriors and small guards, look around the league the warriors are too small and lacking on athleticism

Smash the under. Curry a year older. Draymond a year older. Wiggins a shell of himself. Looney a shell of himself. No true #2 option. Still no size. Buddy can’t play D. Kyle Anderson on his 4th team and can’t shoot 3’s. The West is more stacked than ever. Warriors will be battling for the 9th/10th seed or miss the play-in

Podz is an average player. I just like his confidence and hustle.

Trade for lauri markennan lauri draymond steph wiggins and kuminga i love that starting 5 thats a championship starting 5 and with buddy hield and Anderson post and tjd off the bench thats way better and probably the best in the west with the shooting bigs theyll have but if not then just trade kuminga and a first to portland for jeremy grant that'll make us deadly as well

Podz is good but its much easier to find a combo guard than a 7ft sniper that'll also unlock JK to give him the space needed.

Take Kai Sotto 7’3 center a ring protector plus millions of Filipino fans ,

Kuminga over Podz

Yes, Pods shows promise. But he isn’t a 7’ athletic star like Laurie. Watch a reel of him. He was shut down last year without real injuries. Also limited minutes in many games yet his averages remained high. If Pods is the price you DO IT!! They are not anywhere close to the same level.

Thunder, mavs, wolves, nuggets, kings, lakers, grizzlies, pelicans, n the suns are all better teams in the same conference. Warriors are gonna be dirt

I find it funny how folks had to go through essentially the stages of grief to realize that this team is pretty good as is. But, as long as people get it... Markkanen or no, I expect Moody and GP2 to be moved because they have to place on the roster. Not on the graphic shown, was Lindy Waters and Gui Santos, both kind of overlap with Moody as well. It would be easy to move Moody, who's going to want to play to get paid THIS YEAR, and replace him with Waters instead. Gui Santos they may hold onto because he's still young, and has potential, but right now he doesn't seem that useful for the team this year, and he could be cut or traded to make room for Quinten Post as well. GP2 can be the backup plan to Melton, but with Beekman, you just don't need that, and in fact, a 2 way is the best way to backup Melton because they won't play every game (in the case Melton's healthy). So, GP2 is totally irrelevant. One thing they could do is move Moody and GP2 for a big like Wendell Carter, or Steven Adams. The money fits perfectly. The reason they may want to wait to pull off that move, would be to hold out that a big name like Butler, Durant, etc. becomes available down the line instead, and they need the salary to match.

podz is mid, trade him while the stock is high

What happened to Cyrus ?

Hammer it. In Chuck we trust 🫡

I wouldn't trade either player.

Who is Lauri ? not proven

What people always forget about the Lacob booing is the context. The Warriors had just recently had their most success in over a decade with the We Believe Warriors. That was dismantled by previous ownership when they shipped out Jason Richardson for Brandan Wright. JRich was the heart and soul of the Dubs who has been there through thick and thin. Then they let Baron Davis leave for the Clippers and did a knee-jerk Corey Maggette signing. So when Monta got shipped out, the last remnants of the We Believe Squad along with Stephen Jackson....it was kind of a here we go again with our favorite players leaving (not even to mention the Moped drama) I personally felt it was a great trade and was excited for Bogut and felt Curry was that dude....but when someone says "We Miss Monta"....of course the people are going to boo a still fresh wound. Not the fanbases greatest moment, but it's a completely different fanbase nowadays anyway.

Just develop younger big players .

You can’t get Markennan for a couple shitty draft picks. If you want to keep your young players then focus on rebuilding then. If I was Steph I’d look for another team to finish out my career.

I don't think the "trust" factor had more impact than the randomness of life... They tryed to trade Curry by Bogut and only didn't happened because Bucks demand Elis instead. Also, Klay Thompson by Kevin Love trade only wasn't finished because some veterans lead by Richard Jefferson did huge pressure to keep Klay. That's the life. Nothing wrong with this. ===== EXAMPLE from other sports that you all cant jump to the next "=====". The Brawn GP Formula One Team, that only runs one season in 2009, had in hands a car that was terribly compromised - it had been designed around a Honda engine and gearbox, and the Mercedes setup seriously compromised it's handling. The only thing that they can do at that point was work over aerodynamics. In the first half of the season the aero benefits were so great that the compromises were irrelevant and the loss from poor weight distribution was none. Jenson Button won 6 of the 7 firsts races and won the championship with just two more podiums on next 10 races, finishing the others between 5th and 8th. Barrichello finish in 3rd overall with two wins, three second places and one third, what put Brown team 20 points ahead Red Bull to win Constructors Championship. If wasn't this huge problem before season starts, they probably wont win, even a single race. If they used Honda setup or if the car was originally designed for Mercedes setup, in both cases, the deflectors they created (and copied by the other teams, being ready to de used after 7-8 races) never would exist. At the end, as Joe Lacob (in realation to frachise value), Ross Brown bought the team for £1,00 at the end of 2008 to sell for £150 million at the end of 2009. ===== This roster (any roster since 2013-14, that weren´t the no roster season) is very ok. We just need to bring back the pick and roll with some post splits to balance small ball strategy, giving to defenses way more layers to think about than just put pressure in five players spread behind 3 point line rotating the ball as a hell to find a uncontested shots. Ballance we lose since Kevin Durant came, as he was the own ballance for defences: instead small ball with pick and roll & post splits, small ball with Kevin Durant. And by what we saw last season, TJD will be a unstoppable weapon doing screens and rolling. Btw, my first game was at 12yo, so I'm "covering" the team for 39 years 😅. Let's improve Curry, Klay, Drey and Barnes as startes to Curry, Pod, Drey, Kuminga and TJD! But, about this off season, I can resume some main points I noticed (and its my perception for sure, I'm not saying this is the true): Big problems - They let the entire world know that: 1- Main goal was have US$ 0,00 luxury taxes. 2- Klay Thompson contract would not be renewed (and if wasn't clear, Klay came to help with it). 3- Chris Paul should be waived. 4- Wiggins was a MUST BE trade. 5- Even with 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, they still have wishes to build a contender team around Curry (just remember LeBron no deal last season). As result: A- Klay Thompson, Chris Paul and Andrew Wiggins trade value = 0. B- Because of (5), any team with a Top Player that can help the Warriors reach the goal to be a contender, easily would request our best young players with rookie contracts. Not one, but two or three. C- Because of (B), one more time, the only way to replace them would be finding veterans that would accept minimum veterans deals. D- Because of (C), with a main rotation roster smellling like a garbage time roster. To have any chance to win, start 5 players should play from 40 to 48 minutes, like New York Knicks guys did at the end of last season. And, of course, this only would be possible with another head coach. One million dollars question: if Myers was the GM, topics from 1 to 5 would be fall in public domain before next season starts, not 6 months before last season ended?

Put Quinten Post in the G League with Strength and Conditioning Coach for 1 yr! . We was Right about James Wiseman we should get him Back and Add him to the Roster and on this New Offense... Get Wiseman

You crazy? Podz plus/minus is off the charts

It wasn't Kerr who "trusted" the young guys. So that's the problem. They were already on the cusp of being a great team. Kerr didn't have to go thru the trials with a 21 year old Steph and Klay.

I don't believe the Dubs can win the Western Conference, even if they add Laurie Markkanen. Just my opinion. However, the Warrior media (Monte Poole, Kylen Mills, and Kerith Burke) are obsessed with getting a trade done.

Moses over Buddy when you factor in defense.

Good question from Charlie (about Draymond). He really didn't play that well until after he came back from his suspension. It's quite likely that the chemistry would be better without Draymond.

Playing time is associated with confidence. It's an uphill climb for a player's confidence when you're getting limited time or DNP's. JK and Moody would be playing great and then Kerr would pull them, put Klay in for seemingly no reason. The more Moody plays the more he'll realize his incredible potential! Also, why is there not a single word about Q. Post? When do we get a look?

GS just needs to start the season out with what they have. Forget about Lauri for now. Let the young guys get their minutes and see how they develop. I think it will up the players' value for when they do make some moves. Get towards the trade deadline during the season. More teams will wanna bite and make some moves.

Dynasty is not repeatable. A lot of Warriors fans are in dillusion with their young players 😂

They should keep their picks and bet on their youth. Waste the rest of curry’s prime trying to build. look how good wiseman and Poole worked out.

How come Cyrus is gone? I watch his new channel but I’m curious

Other teams will be better and have less injuries or just have more time with player ps they traded for. Your team is not good at all… That is for Charlie not Kaylen shes great.

Your team is not good

steve kerr lost 10-15 games alone by himself from bad decision making and playing podziemski over better players

I thought the intro was gonna be "alright alright alright" 😂

Just bring in another all star to line up with Steph Curry then go be mediocre for the next 20 years like the bulls. Why wouldn’t u want to maximize on a top 5 player of all time your Club greatest. On for what Kuminga or even Pods & picks Joe Lacob must be mad but usually happens when team owners stay too long maybe it’s time for a new owner to push the narrative like a young once did.

Steph has 2 all-NBA years left, max. Trading away our future for Lauri makes little sense. No single team has greater than 20% chance of winning it all going into the season, given the parity. We need to keep the team together. Don’t want to go into rebuild mode in 2026.

This is copium to the max

Player rotation during the '22-23 season was a big reason why the two-timeline failed. Except for Poole, the other young players did not get much playing time with the vets. They would get to play non-consequential minutes or if GSW would decide to sit their starters for entire games due to load management. Naturally, these youngsters would get blown off the court. And the GSW coaches would use these as basis for the DNPs of Moody and Kuminga. If these young players as bench players were given the opportunity to play meaningful minutes with the vets, things would have turned out differently. Coach Kerr may have forgotten that during his stint in Chicago with the Bulls, the bench was always playing with at least Jordan or Pippen except when the game is already been decided.

They can’t afford Laurie and kuminga simultaneously so either talk to kuminga and extend him now for less, or if he wants too much, use him and not podz in the trade for Laurie and include a third team. Maybe the spurs and Utah and golden state?

Sorry end of dynasty. There is no chance the warriors will win another championship without klay Thompson

Get Jimmy Butler for one player and picks if Danny A is too stubborn. Win now.I grew up watching everyone laugh at the warriors. Win now while you can. Future is too random.

Sure trust the youth of 27 yr old Lauri an All-star not a "potential" all-star a 7ft Stretch Big shooting 40% from 3 and grabbing 9 rebounds. Steph plans to play as long as LeBron and he's in his Prime now and the most conditioned athlete. He'll be here another 5-6 yrs.

The dynasty started cause in back to back drafts...yall drafted 3 HOFamers. Since then the Warriors have drafted many players and none have really panned out or given a great opportunity. The league has caught u to the "3 is more than 2" perspective that they Warrirors took the league by storm. Trusting the youth is good but history shows young players under 24 ..dont win title. Podz, Kuminga and Moody are good but u wont win a title before curry retires with those guys

The dynasty started by Kerr allowing Steph to shoot whenever he wanted. That and their center being hurt and Kerr having to sub in Draymond to take the center spot. They weren’t expecting what happened when they did that. As far as podz, he’s a local, fans like him, he’s loyal, don’t trade him. Especially not him plus picks. It’s one or the other. Get a third team, if you have redundancy in a position, deal out other players, get a couple more first round picks, and send them to Utah without any players. It seems Danny might just want more picks and not players anyway. If he insists on podz, tell him to kick rocks. His player is marginally better and much older. Your player is younger and worth more.
