with LeBron looking like he is going to hit the open market and the #Suns in turmoil all of a sudden there seems like a real possibility of one of them joining the #Warriors #lakers

Bruh we already shit the bed with CP like might as well get a 40 year old Bron
I have to be honest, the Bay Area press seems to radically UNDERvalue the Warriors’ younger players and radically OVERvalue the veterans and the value of acquiring other veterans in a trade. LeBron and KD MAY get you into contention if you don’t lose nearly anything getting them, but, like Steph, KD and LeBron are now old, as are Draymond and Klay. That’s just reality. If the warriors have to get rid of JK, MM, BP or TJD, they will not win. The youth are already the core of this team, and without these skilled players that are athletic, the Warriors won’t contend for a title. Steph, LeBron and KD are all highly skilled, but none of them are comparably athletic to Shai, Chet, AE, or Wemby. Even Giannis is struggling to remain physically viable vs the newest NBA players. The Warriors need to keep Steph, JK, MM, TJD, Gui and Podz, and move on from everyone else. If LeBron opts out of LA and signs with the Dubs for almost nothing, yay. If not, trading away young assets makes no sense anymore. That phase of the Warriors has passed, we have to realize that when they were given the opportunity, the youth were the consistency this past year, not the vets
Facts on top of facts. We're sitting on an Ant Man lite with Kuminga in my opinion but we're stuck in the past.
Best analysis I’ve see. And look what happens when teams trade away their youth core… suns went from finals to first round sweep. Lakers went from championship to barely making playoffs
Glad you mentioned how Giannis is looking hella obsolete these days, I'm not the only one thinking that.
Couldn't agree more. With another year under their belt all the young'uns are going to get better not just individually but as a team. You hit the nail on the head. I just wonder if Steve Kerr is the right guy to coach them up. I'm just not sure.
You are way too polite. We DON'T WANT LEBALCO who would love to diminish Steph's legacy. STOP PROPOSING THIS CRAP, ALCHEMY!!! WE DON'T CARE!! HE IS OBNOXIOUS. WE DON'T WANT HIM. WHAT PART OF THAT DO YOU NOT GET???
KD won't come back, but if he did the narrative would be CRAZY. Couldn't win with Russ n em, came to the Dubs and won with Steph, couldn't with with his boy Kai on a Nets superteam, asks out to the Suns then couldn't win with Book + Beal superteam...and eventually comes crawling back to Steph. Weeooweee. His legacy would be ultra cooked in the media + fans eyes.
This is why basketball will never grow more than how it did in the 90s , they didn’t have media/fans with bullshit narratives
@@curtiszyr it most definitely is the fan. now everyone and their dead relatives can just go out there and cause mayhem with their takes, or worse malicious slanders to frame an athlete in a scandal.
Which is crazy because LeBron literally got away with murder just because KD went to the Warriors and made it hard for him to get easy wins.
Very nice photoshop for KD in that thumbnail.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Made me think he was already on the warriors before
😂
I take neither. At this point in everyone's careers, Its just not going to happen. It'll be like The Lakers last "Superteam" with Nash, Kobe, Pau, and Dwight, with 2 of those 4 just straight up injured most of the time, and Kobe on his last productive legs. Trying to get Lebon + Steph or KD + Steph for "One Last Hurrah" will only set the team farther back with a 1st round exit to show for it (See Phoenix this year).
At this point, they need to lean into their youth. They need to start running through Kuminga more (I know, I know), and play Trayce and Moody more. They need to find a way to dump Wiggs, CP, and Klay (unless Klay takes a MASSIVE discount and a much reduced role). Then turn that into one more good player or more productive depth and ride out Curry's final days. That's really the only way for the team to not completely crash and burn once the wheels come off the vets for good.
I'd love to dump Wiggs and CP for one really good player, but I seriously doubt that'll happen, so I say get some decent role players and some picks to refresh the war chest. Maybe we strike gold again in the draft. Maybe we are able to turn it into a better player down the line when someone else gets disgruntled. But I feel that's the only positive way forward.
Tbh... this past year with CP3 was exactly that first Nash Lakers year. Another year of that would be hell
Dray and KD ain’t playing together again
No Lebron attached to Bronny on the Warriors.I cant take the "which big name high priced bench decimating aging star will save the Warriors" conversations. The Warriors need size defense and depth. The current Phoenix Suns situation is a cautionary tale on the dangers of going after big names that look good on paper.
Exactly. The Warriors just need to build for the future right now instead of chasing past glory, the dynasty has moved on. Sign solid, big, athletic guys who can shoot, like every other good team is doing, and trim out the pieces that aren't doing anything for us.
As Kofie said, "they built a 2K team." The hypothetical stats sound good, but the team fit in reality is a big factor.
Lauri Marrkanen is a better fit than both
he’d solve so many problems and can fit in the youth timeline. let dray klay wiggs cp3 MM go, keep TJD Kuminga and Podz.
Bron is too old to blow up your team to acquire him for like a year! What’s the point? Kd yea, Paul George yea.. but a 40 year old bron?!?!? Cmon man
Exactly
EXACTLY!!!! Should not even be a discussion!🤢
As a Warrior's fan, I would like to say...."WE DON'T WANT LEBRON. Definitely KD over that guy!
I would like to see KD back - IF the warriors don't have to gamble their whole future to make it happen. I don't want to see the dubs front office in the same mess the Suns currently have themselves in. I HAVE ZERO FUCKING INTEREST in seeing LeBalco in the bay.
I'd much rather have KD back. He is familiar with Warriors org and system.
Lebron comes with the circus and drama, and he's turning 60 years old, ain't no way!
I think if we got rid of Draymond, who is the guy who basically caused KD to leave, that might improve the chances of this happening drastically. And honestly, I'm down with it.
Warriors have been a circus for a fee years now… Lakers have zero internal drama. What are you talking about? Warriors running old narratives is what sank your roster and ultimately your team. Bron has shot 3 ball extremely well this year, he rebounds, is still a threat in the open court and excellent passer…paired with a legit 3 point thread like Steph? You’re crazy…
@@NealX_Gaming Dray and KD are friends now.
we need more size kd isnt athletic or physical enough for our needs anymore. Also trading draymond means were even smaller and less imposing. We'd get bitched like the suns round 1
Bro atp KD comes with way more drama than LeBron. With LeBron and Steph there's a mutual respect there. Hell it even seems like LeBron respects Steph a little too much lol. KD just seems like he's insecure and that's a ticking time bomb just waiting to blow up.
LeBron really really doesn’t want steph to have more* chips than him. The one way he can guarantee that is by joining the Ws
They have the same number of championships. Unless you're counting that tournament trophy.🤭
@@feelthabreez3571 ah youre right, for some reason I thought he had 5. Ok so he really really doesn't want Steph to overtake him in number of chips!
WE MIGHT AS WELL SELL OUR SOULS TO THE DEVIL SIGNING UP WITH RICH PAUL/kLUTCH MAFIA AND WE WOULD BE FORCED TO CHEER FOR LE BALCO. F NO.
Klay, Dray and Steph could drink from the Balco Elixir of youth
HELL NO. LIKE SLEEPING W/THE DEVIL NAMED RICH PAUL. F THAT SH*T.
"Jeannie Buss, that relationship, whatever that means." Lmao
in all seriousness, it could mean sth. Jeannie is turning out to be a cute MILF lately and I can see Bron get some of it. Similar voice too lol
First and foremost, warriors need to upgrade its size. They also need a stronger smarter coaching staff. Then come up with a winning offensive and defense strategy. Then find pieces that fits that puzzle. Until we are at that point, it’s hard to know what pieces to add.
Lebron coming to warriors and both steph Lebron win their 5th ring will bring world peace.😂
The bronse*xuals and the Curry stans would 150% find a way to still fight the entire season.
Steph, Lebron, and CP3. That would be the talk of the NBA. The only caveat is that they HAVE to win or be the laughing stock of the NBA. They would definitely call GSW a NBA nursing home.
There would be war over the fmvp
fuck that. steph wins 5th no lebron
Not for Warriors fans.
What you said about KD and the weights is what I always felt about Klay when he came back from injury. He should got jacked after those injuries.
If the laker were to blow it up AD would be a better fit for GSW
Yes...for 6 games a year.
@@coachdan007he played 76 games this past season. Clearly you’re a bit behind
The question is why are the Lakers blowing it up but we’re not? When they advanced further AND have AD as their second star.
Nahh AD softttt foh
Lahelp Steroids James absolutely no stop disturbing idea ...i know you have to feel in the video time and get view..Absolutely NOT..KD by far he was there and can fit right in..no matter what!
Bringing Lebron to warriors will destroy the warriors system. You will have Steph, Klay, Kuminga, Moody just standing around the corner waiting for Lebron to pass. Nah thank you.
If the system was good we wouldn’t have missed the playoffs. Change needs to happen. I’ll take having the greatest player of all time on my team any day
No we won't we'll need to trade Klay and Kuminga for this deal.
Can we trade Kerr? That’s my question. Throw in Klay, Draymond, and Kerr. Out with the old
@cristianm6579 the system won 4 rings dummy. Lebron at 40 won't win u shit..
Lebron will adapt. He can facilitate and get Steph the ball.
I don’t see how you can look at the youth movement going on in the Western Conference and think “I need my team to be older.” 🙄
These people are crazy!! Yeahh bring 2 old guys and sacrifice the bench
Both Bron and KD won’t solve any defensive issues. Will help on offense but not the defense.
In this situation I would take Lebron because you don’t have to give up some of our young core since he is a free agent. With KD we would have to trade for him and most likely give up Kuminga or Pods/Davis and picks.
Is he going to take a pay cut? You can't pay all of them.
@@feelthabreez3571 paycut
We need younger blood.
But we aren't likely to get it, and what would you rather watch: a bunch of mid hall of famers or some fiery rookies? I think most fans would be happy with KD or LeBron joining Steph for a dream team.
I'll never forget when LeBlown Games, back in Cleveland, said: I don't wanna chase championships, I wanna stay here and build a champion.
Lmao. Few years later, if that, he was OUTTA there, and only returned when it was favorable to him.
They all lie.
I mean he did get them a chip….
@@samribz3320 AFTER RETURNING when it was a VERY good time to return, as Cleveland had many interesting draft picks years prior and had cap salary to sign interesting free agents.
It's ALL calculated with that guy.
@dvdv8197 The best player they got him was Antawn Jamison the whole time he was there and he won too much for them to get picks. He literally had no one
@@HighlightReelFactory lmfao 🤡🤣
*Kyrie and Kevin Love enter the chat*
The face tells me he knows what he's doing, it's a simple decision to return to LA, but he'll let the media and fans run with it and keep him in conversations for the next few months.
I seen on Twitter some guy is predicting Denver wins series 4-1 against lakers which happened and now he’s saying warriors draft bronny in the second round which then Lebron signs with golden state
Neither
@ What 😊Point Dose age be a factor-----BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE AT A “EXPERIENCE PACE “. I say NO TO LEBRON …….look to add free agency , trades and DRAFT….
KD obviously…but he’s not the same player he was in 2018 and the supporting cast isn’t the same. Warriors need a defensive legit center who can set screens. A Steven Adams would be great if you can’t get a floor spacer. Looney isn’t as effective anymore as he once was because the number and quality of centers has increased and improved in the last few years and his lack of a jump shot is a liability regardless of what he gives you defensively and rebounding. You can use him at the 4 but then you need a 5 who can space. If you put him at the 5 then you need a 4 who is a legit 3 and D guy but then you have redundance of skill sets with Draymond. So Warriors are in a tough spot bc they’re a middle of the pack team now. It’s going to be rough for Golden State for the near future regardless of the moves they make cuz they won’t be at the bottom of the league but they won’t be a contender either
Draymond said they need fresh legs and his referring to Kuminga but the coach wasnt ready about it. Id rather have AD than Lebron. AD and Kuminga combination will be great and will leave Curry open. But anything may happen just like the way CP3 became a Warrior but please dont trade Kuminga. If Warriors acquire either of them the narrative will be Curry need KD/ Lebron inorder to win his 5th ring.
I think KD’s elite 3 ball and better defense would lead to more wins. Warriors desperately need better shooting and interior defense.
But a LeBron 2:04 / Steph team up would break records and probably get its own documentary 10 years from now.
10…more like two or three. The script is written just do some edits and add some last minute stats and games…BOOM done!
Right now Durant is not a better player than lebron, plus lebron have been a more healthy player than Durant in his career. Plus Lebron could be a free agent, durant is not. And i am not sure that durant want to return to the warriors to play with draymond again.
Wiggs and JK for KD???
Lebron and Kd would bring so much drama
God forbid
Klay and Draymond for Lebron. Starting 5: TJD, Lebron, Kuminga, Wiggins, Steph. Athletic wings to protect Steph, Lebron running point forward, with TJD protecting the paint and Lob Threat.
No way LA goes for that
The deal has to be appealing to the Lakers. That's not appealing at all to the Lakers.
Not enough shooting even if they do go for it needs one more shooter then we’re lit
Wiggins is horrible
That D gives up 150/night
There is nothing that would make me want LBJ on the team. He is too disruptive. Nope, nope, nope. If you want to win I wouldnt take him for $1. If you want him for the profile, for the jersey sales, for the headlines well that is the owners choice. If you want to win I would not go near LBJ.
Anybody except Lebron. Lebron would give them 500+ FTs tho
Neither, unless they accept the veteran minimum, and don't have to give up anything young for them.
KD would be perfect for the Warriors...I would welcome KD back.😊😊😊
You are starting to sound like LeMedia. Pushing the false king’s narrative.
Fuck it... bring in Lebron AND KD. 🤣🤣 nah but fr KD would easily be the better option at this point in their careers even though it would be fun to watch lebron and curry on the same team.
🤣🤣🤣🤣you know what? Why not? Lolol
And Giannis.
Big no to both
We already done the KD experiment, I’ll take LeBron this time around. Draymond, CP3, and Wiggins can all go. Absolutely keeping Kuminga and Trayce though
Lol!!! bro, why don’t we get in the time machine go back and bring MJ here also. Not gonna happen. These players had developed a mindset. They don’t want to be in a position to admit they need Steph Curry to win Especially KD
Steph > the Barry Bonds of basketball 'mr selfproclaimed'
ALL TIME ALL TIME.
I don't want that flopping winner leaching Steph's success.... Absolutely NOT.
Btw ...
Kevin Durant already proved he fits in the warriors.... Is that even a question?
The other classes guy didn't even showed up to Wade's hall of Fame induction... He traded him away from the Cavs.... I will never choose that liar to be anywhere near close Steph.
Gotta go with Lebron here, perfect for a 2 year window
Lebron would be the mature Kuminga version who will maximize an inverted pnr with Steph while being a great facilitator out of the post.
we dont need Lebron at all, he will be using us more than we using him
I like KD better as a person than LBJ. I know he has his flaws and can be hypersensitive but there is nothing to like about LeBron save the prospect of winning s and I don't value winning that much. KD has a better comeback narrative as well. Should have traded for him in the off-season after the chip. Could have signed Poole and sent him to Brooklyn with Wiseman, Moody and picks. Hell, I would've thrown in Kuminga if the salaries needed to match.
KD and LeBron have either learned this or not...
They need to come to a team like the Warriors if they want to win another championship. LeBron doesn't need 3-yr max -- he needs a 5th ring and that only happens if he teams up with Steph.
You don't become a billionaire by taking a discount of any kind ever. You become a billionaire by forcing everything you can get.
Bro with the ego these players have, do you really think lebron would go to Steph’s team????
It really wouldn't be a good look for either of them because we're used to seeing them play against each other
Take them both imagine the ticket sales
Warriors need better coaching staff especially the ones handling the challenges. Also find an assistant coach thats going to focus on defense
9-seed either way my brudda
Klay can go respectfully! No assists, no rebounds, horrible attitude when his shots ain’t falling
LeBron to the Warriors being the reason Draymond finally gets in line, makes me value him even less. That implies he has more respect for LeBron than Steph. Iggy doing the 'hand gesture' while Draymond was giggling with LeBron was a red flag. That, among other, team/future destroying reasons, is why I don't want to see this. At least KD comes with little to no drama. On the other hand, KD comes back and wins a 3rd finals MVP, then the questions Steph worked so hard to answer will come back.
There are no Qs about Steph. He won titles before and after KD. KD has Qs. If KD comes back and they win no one will think its all KD.
@@yt.damian Yea, the media may not like KD, but that took another ring and Charles starting the bus rider narrative. The media HATES giving Steph any credit outside of shooting. Best believe they will hold 1 finals MVP out of 5 against him. He doesnt even get the Tim Duncan love. He has never gotten credit for being unselfish and doing his part in winning. Media pundits have taken every opportunity to question his leadership recently. If there are no questions, they will invent them. If they cant say he's not that guy, theyll just bring up accolades. Another example is the Magic convo, he walked onto one of the most stacked teams ever (Imagine LeBron/AD duo but better) and the team got even better after that (not to mention that pathetic 80's western conference). Magic enjoyed a superteam for his entire tenure, yet he just washes Steph who had to live through a rebuild. Stephs main competition are the two most coddled/helped players of all time (Magic for PG, LeBron rival)
LeBron could share some of his Magic Miami Juice with the boys
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
you know there are rumors right
@@jkbzz I'll share with you: it's called not playing defense and not running back in transition. Klay drank it already last year. Didn't work out well.
😂😂😂😂
He's poison. Look at how he treats his teammates and makes them the scapegoat when the team loses.
@@petiteblue007 maybe he can help Warriors get rid of Steve Kerr given his impressive record
I’d give up Wiggs + Moody for any takers who’d give us a 1st rounder plus salary fillers (I’m looking at the Mavs with Hardaway and Josh Green). I’d send those salary fillers to Utah plus that acquired 1st and 2 more of ours (3 firsts total) and 2 pick swaps for Lauri. As long as OKC doesn’t get involved (for some reasons, they aren’t as high on Lauri), we have a good chance. I’d then pick up GP2’s TO and package that with another 1st and another swap and send that to Chicago for Caruso. We get to keep JK that way and I’d then extend him along the numbers of a Jaden McDaniels/Devin Vasell (5 years 130-140m which is ~ 28-26m a year). I’d let go of CP3’s contract, sign Klay to a 2-3 contract (20-23m range). I’d pick up another athlete defender in Derrick Jones Junior, a stretch 4 (Batum dream choice, maybe bring back Saric if that doesn’t work) and a big bruising big (Drummond my 1st choice but any robust big body would do). Cut Looney (sad but he’s gotta go).
Steph, Caruso, JK, Dray, Markannen.
Podz, Klay, DJJ, Batum, TJD
Drummond etc (I literally don’t care about the rest of the roster).
We’d not have any pick control for the next 6-7 years but we’d have 21 yr old Kuminga & Podz who I REALLY believe in. Markannen is still 26 too and we’d still have the big 3 for at least another 3 years I believe.
This is the best, most realistic thing we could do this off season imo. That starting 5 would be epic. Caruso & Draymond for perimeter & interior defense respectively plus ultimate Swiss Army knife utility on both ends of the floor including playmaking. JK for rim/interior offense and Lauri basically gives you something close to a prime Klay that 7 FEET tall for rebounding and interior help defense.
Stop it. Just stop it.
LeBron is a traveling, fouling cheater who complains and blames. We do not want that.
There are no positives there. He is not a leader, he's a blamer and complainer who is lazy.
KD is the premier iso player in a league that has proven that iso is inferior. He was barely a good fit in GSW, but managed because he was so damn elite. But his play style clashed. Which is why Draymond barked at him. Which is why he left. He is not coming back.
LeBron would be amazing in Golden State but it means Draymond is gone. He would be Draymond on crack even at 40 years old. He’s as good of a passer, rebounder, and coach on the floor. He may not be the defender Draymond is because of how he disperses his energy at this age but he will do more at 6’9 than 6’6. LeBron is also a better shooter and far better scorer all-around. He would make Klay and Curry far better and give Curry new life as a consistent gravitational offensive player who makes the offense easier on him which is key for this latter part of Curry’s career.
I think KD would be a better fit
Draymonds moods will destroy a season. Trade draymond in all situations and look for a passer for curry. Curry is afraid he won't be as good without drayond. Curry will be better without the stress.
LeBron would work if available haha
No way I want to see Durant AND Draymond. LeBron and Draymond....yeah....that could work. Curry, LeBron, Draymond, TJD....then need that shooting guard.
Lebron diminishes every player he’s around. Not by his greatness, but by his pettiness and entitlement
Pleaaaaase NEVER Bron! 😢😭😭😭
I despise foul grifting, on-court loadmanaging, whining LeBlown Games. 😤😤😤😤
If KD go back to the Warriors and LeBron join the Warriors, they can keep Chris Paul and Klay Thompson but Wiggins would get traded.
Lineup:
Curry - KD - LeBron - Draymond - Wiseman
Bench:
Chris Paul - Klay Thompson
Lebron @ GS? That will be the end of me being a GS fan. Durant back? Absolutely. Give up Dray, Yes, Give up Klay, Wigs, and Paul, YES. Give up Pod, TJD, JK, No Way.
Great content, as usual!! Dawg, the KD reunion would be special! Not only the familiarity with the system, but KD would be energized back in the Bay. It just seems like he's not nearly as happy in PHX as he was in the Bay. Born would be dope, but it just feels like he's one belch away from throwing out his back for months! Lol...I know he's a physical specimen, but Father Time takes NO Ls. Either way, THE SQUAD NEEDS HELP!!
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 have some self-esteem!! COME ON GUYS!!! They league is going young, but you want the team to add more old guys close to have injuries and sacrifice 1 of the best bench of the league!!!!
We don't need KD OR BRON
I love the fakers wasting a draft pick and potentially sabotaging their lineups to accommodate Lebung's Bronny fetish. Stay with the Fakers.
Puhleeeze... 1st of all, LeBron is not going anywhere. He's just posturing to pressure tge Lakers to draft Bronny and pay him a max... he's trying to save up for an NBA team and the Lakers and possibly the 76ers are the only teams stupid enough to give him a max... he just like keeping the attention on himself even when he's out... he'll be tweeting emojis and leaking soon.
There is ZERO benefit to the Dubs by getting him even for a minimum. Two historically poor shooting point forwards beside our franchise PG? You're clearly trolling... how many balls will they be playing with? I don't want the Vogel Lakers in the Bay and nobody should... I'd burn my merch.
KD should have stayed w/GSW...at least that's my humble opinion...but then again, would we have Kuminga and/or Moody...let alone TJD? On the flip side though, could we have won at least 1 more Ring if KD had stayed for another year or two?
Lebron coming to the Warriors wont change much but only diminishing both their legacy in case the lose to Jokic/Edwards/ any other upcoming young talent, because don't be fooled a team of Lebron (40) Curry (37) Dray(35) Klay(35) is one or two injuries close to disaster. History has shown that types of big team never work
Please stop, Please stop it!!!!! We don't want a 40-year-old LeBron!!! Please stop pushing LeBron's narratives the same as the mainstream media. LeBron loses and the media immediately points out the blame game and where can LeBron go to win a championship. What stars should go play with LeBron to help LeBron!! After winning LeBron gets all the credit!!! Steph Curry is stupid if he is cool playing with LeBron and gives the okay. Syeph's legacy is totally destroyed!! He is just now getting over playing with KD and getting the credit he deserves and you want to immediately bring KD back!! What is wrong with you people trying to make it cool for stars to team hop!! A team properly run does not pick up a 40-year-old LeBron or a 37-year-old KD!! The Warriors owner talking about being light years ahead of other organizations. Action's proving absolutely not, even though I give blame to Steph for being afraid to move on from Draymond and Klay. Stop it, please stop it!!!! Very simple if getting a superstar Giannis is ok.
The Warriors flowing movement eliminates isolated play, unless there is a clock issue that is forced upon the players.
His highlight defense raises a crowd into a frenzy but doesn't comply with elite defensive effort that Golden State requires.
I pass on him and Kevin Durant. Develop the young players into what developed Klay, Draymond and Steph into becoming HOF quality players.
LeBron: no. He's not a good role model for players. He's only interested in himself and blaming teammates for tarnishing his greatness. Bad mojo.
KD: maybe. But not if we have to give up the youth for 1-2 years of fun. (Klay, Wiggins, Dray I can accept)
I'm more intrigued by Giannis or Ingram, guys who transition better to the future.
LeBron will suck all the oxygen out of the Warriors. No way to get him
KD fits anywhere
I would want Lebron over KD. As you said, you would have a bunch of old dudes. So Klay and Draymond need to be traded. In the sign and trade with lebron I would send them Wiggins and Kuminga and salary cap filler if needed. In order to be contender you would need hustle in the starting five: Steph, Podz, Moody, Bron and TJD(a more experienced center would be better though). And it would be insane if lebron comes to golden state. So much buzz. Like a reality show
OK, I’m convinced. Don’t want either of those guys. Gotta get younger players. Look to the future….
In the latest LA coup, Pelinka just removed Phil Handy, the real coach behind LeBron who he had been working with since 2014. With a track record of coping the most difficult player to work with in history for a decade, any smart manager would have jumped at him. If Warriors could lock him down, at least they can avoid most of the retarded mistakes Kerr made this season, making it slightly possible to have another run before Steph retires.
Yo I think Bron is a more realistic spot and warriors can take that 52nd 2nd pick take Bronny if we keeping it 300… Lakers got the 54th pick… CP3 , wigs or Minga and Loon will prob be on the chop… As for Bron and defense you got dray and TJD that can support Bron’s lazy effort or for better word mask it.. all Bron gotta do is be solid on defense.
Its not 2015 and this shit must stop. Neither of them move the needle. Here are targets this channel should report on. Jeremi Grant, Mikal Bridges, and Myles Turner will get the Warriors back over the hump.
Your analyst moved me towards LeBron and Steph together as oppose to KD. But I'm still thinking about both scenario's.
Been there, done that with KD. He never sems happy from all the reports out there. It was reported he went an entire month without speaking to the coach of PHX. That's insane. I don't want LeBron for a crazy price. He may be still a beast, but he will be 41 years old, and you can't give $100 plus million for a guy that old.
I don't care which we get KD or Lebron, sign and trade Klay, trade Draymond CP3 and Wiggins and get one of them. Hell maybe Giannes is a possibility. Yes I know one of the youngsters will have to go for GA and likely for either KD or Lebron as well but I'd love it to get it done..
What value do you place on your soul? LeBung, with his constant whining, flopping, traveling, and overall biyatch approach to the game would ruin my love for the Warriors. More titles? Maybe. But my ethics are worth more than a referee facilitated, asterisked Lebung trophy.
I have to echo @montraix below and say that trading away our young assets doesn't make sense. Having to do that to attract another 30+ year old superstar is simply dereliction of duty. Honestly I'd trade away anybody over 25 and build from there. As much as Steph hates to lose, he's one of the highest paid people in the league. The team can't afford to put talent around him. Clearly that model doesn't work anymore (see Suns, Lakers and W's), we need to be strong and pivot. Go younger and athletic. Or else we're stuck in mediocrity with two or 3 over priced all stars. That all said, I have serious questions about Kerr's ability to coach/trust young players. He needs to show that he can do that.
Tbh, don't want neither., just want they figure out the roster , play more more versatile basketball , I hope Kerr quit to be that stubborn , this forcing superstar team is not working anymore , in the pursuit of not wasting steph's prime by not developing the youngsters , bringing old veterans , the results were the exact opposite , 2 years wasted , 35 % of that is draymond's courtesy, 30 % kerr 's , 20 GMs , 10 % klay , and 5 % Steph
Why mortgage the future for an iffy present? Adding either stunts the growth of JK, Moody, Podz and TJD even more. They don’t need another ball dominating old guy to have to defer too. If you’re just adding more old players, you’re better off keeping CP and Klay while trading Wiggins and GP for a player who can be counted on to show up every night and give you quality minutes on defense. Don’t need/ want Lebron or Durant hunting for another coattail championship at the expense of the young guys who have already had to pay too much.
If Bron came on a friendly contract I'd say why not. It certainly would make for a lot of fun.
But neither is going to happen. We'll probably pickup a few middling vets and finish in the playin again next year.
This off-season will tell us who Dunleavy is. My gut says he's cautious and conservative but I hope I'm wrong.
Not trying to see an even older warriors team run out of gas while young bucks cook em every night in the 4th
Kd is proven in the system. LeBron would disrupt. His stans would say Steph isn't helping him
Not even a Q, KD can play existing system, you don’t have destroy you identity, KD one of a kind player, skilled, efficient, he’s a threat every corner of the floor.
OMG. Just let Steph go pls. Bron and Kerr surrounding Steph in his last couple seasons? Steve Kerr alone ain't enough to make you disgusted? Pls Steph deserves better.
The problem is that our trade assets like Wiggins & Klay didn't have good years and clearly on the decline. That reduced their trade value and the Suns aren't going to want high priced bench players in exchange for a mercurial starter. So a trade for KD is probably out, unless he sits out or something like that.
Lebron could be interesting and it's probably time to rework the offense anyway. Yes he's lazy on defense and he's injury prone, but so is Klay. If we drop Klay and trade Wiggins for a better 2 way and keep the bench intact, we won't need Steph & LeBron playing 40 minutes a game. Kuminga & Podz can start more games and become the offensive threats we need, like they were starting to be this season.
Frankly though I'm not at the "let's blow it up" stage. This year feels more like an outlier in terms of the West's performance. I am not certain the other teams can continue that winning pace- those sorry ass East teams will improve this offseason and they won't be as easy pickings next season.
Of those two I think you have to go with KD. He gives the dubs a lot more of what they need, length, defense, ability to play off ball. Health is a concern for both but with LeBron nearing 40 I don’t think you can count on him being much likelier to avoid injury than KD. Great vid Alch
I could only watch one minute and twenty-seven seconds of this video. Nauseating to even think about! I would actually have to HATE the Warriors as long as leBronny Sr. is there.🤭
There is no positive to LeBron joining the Warriors. I didn’t even enjoy the Dubs as much when KD was there. This move would suck & I definitely won’t be as invested in watching as Warriors fan. I’d rather not watch it if I’m being honest. He’d be nothing but a season long distraction.
