@@nilesfreebury Here’s our issue. Previously what Wiggins brought to the table was decent scoring and top notch defense. Even with his offense dropping off, it would’ve been ok if his D was the same as previous years, but it’s not. He seems disinterested. Send him to go play with his friend. That might help his mental state.
@@leonardo_da_g9168idk man it might be a nice balance. The more dogs on this roster the better. And sometimes having a second hothead can give the first hothead a little more perspective and self awareness…
No way I'm trading Kuminga and Podziemsky for Scoot, he doesn't fit the time line and he didn't show enough to not be certified as a bust for a third pick
Interesting take , on Kyle Kuzma I watched kuzma play a lot here in dc , he is talented but I will say at times in a heated game he can be inconsistent at times in scoring and on the defensive end, ( the fight in the player at A HIGH LEVEL) playing small opponents teams he shines but in big games 👀
Ur intro is spot on. Whoever wins this years championship will make it 7 years in a row where we have a different champ. I liked it better seeing the Warriors in the finals every single year, but that may be a bit biased.
Kuz would be great!! All arounder but needs to work on his defense. It would take more than Wiggins. Dude has been bad and expensive...The Warriors will likely need to get a legit big to defend the best bigs while keeping TJD as a small ball center. The Warriors probably have to give up either Moody, Podz or JK as part of trades or to acquire picks for some size. Also, keep Klay if he's reasonable cost otherwise move on and Moody can take his spot. Looking forward to the Warriors offseason...they need to be aggressive to even have a chance to compete with the contenders.
Grant probably the best fit for the Dubs, can easily keep up with our pace and his offensive game aligns with ours perfectly. Still doesn't deal with our size problem.
Simply put, if Wiggins can be traded, if frees up more time for Jonathan Kainga. That’s what I’m looking for. so we’re trading for a defensive center/big or an expiring contract
Appreciate you talking about realistic trades rather than harping on the biggest names in the leagues like other RUclipsrs. I been blowing up your vids thinking kuzma could help so I’m glad you broke that one down.
@@AthleticAlchemyTrue, Poole did start to look better at the end of season so who knows. Maybe the way management thinks in DC, it might’ve been JP’s “adjustment year”🤷🏾♂️ I’m just saying stuff now, but kuzma might be the player that’s good enough to help now but not mess up the development of the young guys future.
If the warriors won’t trade for ingram, what makes us think they’re making a push for portis or kuz?? Knowing them they might just sign another 6ft guard and not add any size to compete.
Nah Unc u wylin with that Scoot trade 😭 but Kuzma might be the play, only problem is Dray at the 5 for most of the season might wear him down for the offs.
Here is a wild trade idea, Klay to the Magic for a couple first round picks, that you flip to the hanks + Chris Paul or Wiggins for Dejounte, then trade the other to the Wizards with the 2025 1st for Kuzma. Dejounte replaces what we lost in Poole during the 2022 season (a little less scoring, but better defense and size) and Kuzma, as well as Kuminga become high energy wings. What we need to do more than anything is lock in on defense all year, while having people who can create their own shots and play within the system. DJM played for the Spurs and Kuzma played under Lebron, these guys should be are targets. Let Trayce be our big, and pick up a back up in free agency. Keeping Moody and Podz for their energy and switch up is great too. I do think that the move away from the vets, needs to happen, Steph is still Steph, and Dray can be very effective, but we can't count on Klay giving us what he did 5 years ago.
Not that I would do this, but I think on paper a Kuminga for Grant/Simons could work for both teams. Again, I'm higher on JK in the long-term, but if we are talking about getting a two-way guy like Grant 'and' a sharpshooter/ball handler in Simons. As the foundational players of the trade.
Adding Kuzma and Jonas Valanciunas, we'd have the size, rebounding and shot making to contend next year. Jerami Grant? Nope...he's a Tobias Harris...scored lots of points on bad teams in meaningless games....if you watch him, he's got no handle, no mid range, zero playmaking ability. Grant is a name, nothing more
Bobby Portis for Wiggins would be a great trade that lowkey helps both teams, they get their wing defender we get our ideal stretch4/5, but na I think the Bucks keeping him and that good contract. Their salary table is screwed too. They need to drop salary so they are expected to try to move Middleton instead.
I give you full marks for creativity and thinking outside the box, but absolutely NOT!! I would not consider trading JK and Podz for Scoot Henderson. No way! No how! No sir!!
Keep Kuminga at all costs. Trading Wiggins for Kyle Kuzma or Portis Jr. would be an upgrade. I’m not sold on Scoot. The league has figured out midget ball.
Giving up Kuminga and Podz for Scoot is just crazy. I think Scoot has the potential to be a great player, but I don't think his ceiling is higher than either Kuminga or Podz. Besides, if we want to compete then we need win now players now rookies who will hit their peak in 5 years. I'm okay with trading the young guys if we can get quality win now players in return
You sold me on Kuzma. Could be a cool yin/yang combo with Looney and draymond if they stay and be scoring threat if Klay leaves. Feels like he can connect with the young guys and the vets. Scoot idea is interesting. Itd be a rebuild, but cool idea. Bulding the protoge.
Kuzma doesn't want to compete on a good team. Washington was going to trade him to Dallas at the trade deadline but they didn't get the package back they wanted. The front office was still going to let him go to Dallas because they know Washington is not at all competitive and they didn't want to stand in his way. This nut said he didn't feel Dallas was a competitor and they weren't on his timeline. He wanted to stay and build in Washington. Truth is he was the first option in Washington until Poole finally got it together after the All-star break. If Dallas wasn't on his timeline the Warriors certainly aren't.
As a wizards fan; If yall trading wigga for kuz the price starts w 2 unprotected 1st plus a young guy, our front office not giving away players for bad contracts
hell yeah, get Bobby Portis if we can. Scoot would be great, but it feels like we're gambling two potential stars for one potential star. Steph is a literal mentor for any rookie on the team whether he's worked with them directly or not.
Hey Alch....Doing a great job! I was watching and waiting and finally you got to my guy Bobby Portis. If we can grab him and make all the pieces and numbers fit, I think he's our man. He's a real hard nosed competitor with some size. With Draymond and Portis it'd be like rice and beans....if you know what I mean
Kamminga and pods for scoot Henderson is the most ridiculous proposition I’ve ever heard in my life. I like your videos bro, but come on that’s crazy talk
bro what the HELL was that scoot henderson proposal???? Yo love the channel, been watching since the beginning, subbed to the Patreon…that was one of your worst takes EVER. wouldnt even trade scoot for kuminga straight up. podz for scoot straight up is even a “yeah maybe, i guess”. lmao that was crazy Alch
Portis? Hell yes. Scoot, hell no...price is too high. JK should only be let go for an established star. Kuzma straight up for Wiggs + a pick is OK but doesn't make me exited either.
the warriors are right at the 1st paron for next year with CP3's contract on there. Grant they're in a youth movement and he doesn't fit their timeline so they might make the trade for CP3's optout option to save 30m it's a tough move but I would trade draymond and resign Klay. kuminga is in a contract year I think Grant + Kuminga better fit

But you made me concerned about that 2nd Apron shit
The second apron won't be a concern if they let Klay and CP3 walk which they should.
Pods and Kum for Scoot might be the worst trade suggestion you’ve made Alc.

@@AthleticAlchemy I would rather management not close the door on a possible giannis for jk, rather than open up the door on a jk for scoot.
Send Wiggins in a Kuzma trade. He can reunite with his buddy Poole.
Have you watched Kuzma play? Not actually better than Wiggins. Better scorer, maybe. Guarding Luka or Tatum…no
@@nilesfreeburykuzma most likely wouldn’t be on those guys. He’d be on someone like siakam. Luka and Tatum are for JK and moody to work with
