Second round exit probably

The hope is to be a dark horse team that has an pretty unlikely but not impossible chance at winning. Essentially like they were for the second half of last year

2nd round exit. Not good enough to keep up with the young upcoming teams tbh. Still no center, Steph and Jimmy another year older, and steph coming off a hammy injury those don’t just go away they linger especially at his age. Not looking good tbh

Egg shells. Stay in the running and hope to have the oldies in good health entering the playoffs.

Conference finals at best, but most likely a second round exit

Warriors will get into the playoffs through the Play-in Tourney then will be the betting favorite to win their round one matchup vs #2 Seed team. It’s crazy how predictable yet unique this team is.

They would have a plan and not waste Curry’s and Butler’s time if they did the right thing and settled this Kuminga situation.

But they’re bozos who’ve been covered by Steph and Draymond. The

expectations are for them to fuck up and waste another championship year.

The warriors fans? Championship. Me? Maybe 2nd round. We old old.

Kuminga better stand his ground. Kerr doesn’t want to play him since he’s not a player for their system. He’s better off just waiting until the last day and taking that qualifying offer.

They are going to be a tough first round opponent. Then one of the players will get injured (probably Jimmy) and the Warriors will be out by next round.

Not the finals that’s for sure

Curry to have another 15-16 season somehow.

play in team, sounds like butler is gona stir the pot

Health dependent.

Mediocrity

Jimmy half asses the regular season, first round exit in the playoffs when they get matched up with the Thunder or Nuggets

I feel like he really connected with him in that moment

Draymond with his natural mentoring motion

Did the Warriros found out who leaked the tape?

He just reached out real fast

Ya he ain’t doing that to JK. He did that to JP because he had significant height and weight advantage.

This is what I keep coming back to like what are the three guys in this headline going to be on the floor together, that’s horrible spacing

Kuminga doesn’t fit Jimmy + Dray. He fits with either one but not both together.

The larger issue isn’t Kuminga but Draymond being completely useless on offense and forced to play Center because of his offensive woes.

This issue reared it’s ugly head in the 2022 Finals too but the Warriors had much better front court shooters back then in Otto Porter and Bjelica.

So much drama, for such a mediocre basketball player.

It’s a pretty common platitude that Kuminga can’t fit or doesn’t fit. I disagree. If you look at games 25-30 last season, he was fitting great. He was penetrating gaps in the defense off of actions from teammates that opened up creases he could exploit with cuts and drives. The JK/Steph combo was also looking great when it was used. In fact, JK was ¹⁴⁄₁₇ last season plays assisted by Curry (meaning a screen, split or pass). I think if you swap Jimmy for Wiggins and you put Horford in there to help space you’ve got a nice balance of shooting, rim pressure and defense. I think there’s a ton of potential there.

Neither did Poole really but it’s important to have a guy like that and we can’t expect a bunch of late 30 year olds to carry us 82 games

Seemed like Jimmy was pretty clear about what was going on.

We have 9 players in late September I think it’s fair to want to know what’s going on

Soon as you typed “Jimmy Butler” your question was answered

Employee wants more info about his relatively new workplace. Man that’s fucking wild, who does that?

Why should he be included? It’s Jimmy fucking butler lmfao.

Meeting in the middle regarding Financials ( heat)

Issues with the the coaches starting line up ( 76ers)

Audacious to the coaching staff and teamates ( timberwolves)

I don’t think those events omit Jimmy from being informed with front office decisions

Because he’s one of the top players on a team that should be looking to contend for a title given the top end talent they have and they have not made a single move yet in the offseason? D’Fuck

I think it’s the talent around them + injury history.

And you only have 9 players on the roster rn

Prime Klay washes 2025 Jimmy

Well for starters they don’t have anything on the interior in the conference that has all the best interior players in the league. The likelihood of all the old guys making it through the season without injury is pretty low. I like Butler and I think that was a good move for them, but you have to have a full team and depth in the postseason, and the current roster just isn’t that. I don’t think the end of last season performance means much. The Lakers played pretty well the second half of the year and got bounced in the first. I’m not high on them either but the Ayton addition is much more than anything the Warriors did this off season.

lmao RIP Klay and Dray

Current Jimmy is not close to prime Draymond come on bro

Idk why everyone is so down on them. They had a dominant end to the season before Butler and ultimately Curry got hurt in the playoffs.

Because they’re old and they’re even more likely to not make it through next season healthy. It’d be one thing if the Dubs had a deep team where they could use the depth to get through the regular season to keep the vets fresh for the playoffs. Even then you’re hoping three 35+ year olds can hold up over a long playoff run.

They want the best contract for a trade. New team doesn’t want him to be able to opt out.

Not sure warriors want to depend on goodwill. They need to be able to trade him for value (or keep him) in that 3rd year, which is when lots of teams have cap space.

when a player pressures their team to make long-term sacrifices for short-term opportunity where the player doesn’t expect to be on the team long

When a team pressures their player utilizing restricted free agency for an opportunity to sign a player for less to keep them as an asset to trade. The team doesn’t expect him to be on the team long either.

There’s no longer any goodwill to be had here. Both sides understand the deal and want to come out as the main beneficiary.

“Poor man’s Jalen Green.”

Ouch. But accurate.

As a Warriors fan, the role the team wants from him seems pretty defined (two way role player), he just doesn’t want it. 

Coaching staff has been trying for 4 seasons to get JK to lock in on defense, but he cannot or will not do it. He is good at on ball defense but offball defense, box outs, contested rebounding, etc  is, at best, wildly inconsistent. 

He only works hard on offense, and even that is spotty efficiency-wise bc his court vision isn’t great. You can have a low BBIQ or lackluster defense, having both isn’t great for guaranteed minutes.

It’s trying to fit a peg in a square hole. Kuminga thinks he’s too good to be not prioritized over 3 all-stars and isn’t willing to play an assisting role. Look at Jimmy and all the shit he ate while developing on the bulls to become the player he is. Kuminga is talented, but his ego doesn’t let him see anything but the entire team revolving around him. That and it’s pretty clear Lacob is doing everything he can to keep kuminga after wasting a lotto pick on him and seeing how much better the people they lot go for him are.

Jimmy fans defending him by saying Heat didn’t do enough to build a contender and then now watching what the Warriors are doing. Lol!

Well, he’s paid for now. He’ll become an issue once contract negotiations come up.

Im just glad Kerr finally fixed his back problems.

He was probably more curious about what handshake deals we have with free agents. Utah is looking to buy out Kevin Love, maybe Jimmy wants Lacob to consider bringing him in.
