Just let the agentic ai sort it all out

Now you’re the one working in the middle of the night so the offshore resources don’t have to disrupt their work life balance. 

Unbelievable that he didn’t want West back. A lot of our success came when Lacob was just signing checks, and not meddling in our drafts.

I can see why Bob was ready to leave before Steph even retired.

Lacob told me they hacked basketball. Was he wrong?

Maybe. But the talent after 14 that was available in that draft is crazy.

Sengun, TM3, Jalen Johnson. Even Kispert, Aldama and Grimes would have been better. It’s one of the better drafts in recent memory and they had TWO picks in the lottery for it and came up empty.

If Steph plays long enough the Warriors might be 15-67 with him still playing

Naw it’s white shohei time after curry

About to hit that rate even with Curry I hate to admit it, this org wasting his last good years.

Tickets are finally gonna be affordable though 

15 wins might actually be more then I expect.  I’m guessing they barely win double digit games. Like 10-12.

I hope they trade their picks unprotected like the Clippers and …

Oh…

wouldnt that be more on the GM?

What about Poole, TJD, Post, Ryan Rollins, Will Richard? We can really draft in the 2nd round, can’t we? (presumably, once ownership quits caring and lets the front office and scouts do their jobs)

Ohhh. That explains all the MPJ rumours lately

Yea it definitely wasn’t Bob and MDJ.

It was Lacob and his kids.

Bob and Kerr were lockstep until the end. And Bob left because Lacob and his kids were running the show

On a team light-years ahead, lets break that mold and regress. No 3-point shooting, no switchable D (Wiseman only), no BBIQ should all have been red flags.

Also, I blame Myers and Lacob. MDJ may have been guilty as well, but I haven’t heard about that

That’s called BB UQ. U standing for “Unintelligent”

Celtics almost trading 4 FRPs (forget if the Tatum/Brown picks were included) for Justise Winslow

Wrong sport but Jerry Jones demanding the Cowboys pick Johhny Manziel and the rest of the room ignoring him and picking Zack Martin

The magic were aggressively trying to trade up for Killian Hayes

If the Thunder had one pick earlier in their first lottery years, they would have definitely picked Greg Oden over Durant, and Thabeet over Harden. I’m less clued in about whether they would have picked Westbrook over OJ Mayo, but that’s two generational busts and a journeyman who peaked as a rookie that they didn’t get the chance to miss on.

Vlade apparently really liked Josh Jackson but Phoenix saved us from ourselves

There was this one time where the suns drafted Marvin bagley over Luka but that’s pretty well documented

thats the same reason Kerr told Anthony Edwards they wouldn’t draft him if they had #1 pick. Wolves were also looking to trade down

not even Ant would fit Kerr’s system

I think they wanted Giddy, then split between Franz and Kuminga. I believe they wanted Duarte instead of Moody too but he like Giddy was taken 1 pick before.

Nothing pre-Steph Warriors fans aren’t used to. Got 4 rings in the Bay and one of the greatest players to ever touch a basketball will be a franchise lifer. Nothing else matters

He’s going to be insufferable on TV after his career. But I agree he’d also be a terrible GM.

He hates Michigan. Look at Jordan Poole. Sparty ALWAYS hates Michigan no matter what.

He’s helped us with 4 championships but also cost another 2-3 more. We could have like 6 with KD 

He gave Wiseman 16 starts to open the season, before putting Looney back in the starting lineup. Of the 39 games he played as a 19 year old rookie on a team with alleged title hopes he started 27 of them.

This season, Moody (23) has started 28 games of his 39 played (and has looked whelming overall), Post (25) has started ²⁷⁄₄₁, JK ¹³⁄₁₈, Richard (literal rookie) ¹³⁄₃₆, Podz (22) ¹²⁄₄₁.

In terms of minutes, Podz is 4th (0.2 minutes behind Dray) at 26.7, JK 5th at 24.8, Moody 6th at 24.3, Richard 9th at 18.8, Post 10th at 18, so he isn’t just starting them for a possession then sending them to the lockers.

For comparison. Castle is currently at 30 a night, Wemby 29 (minutes restriction recently has brought it down), Harper at 21, Flagg at 34, Duren at 28, Ausar at 26, Edgecombe 35, Chet 29, Clingan 27, Ace 23, Matas 28, Amen 37.

Given the fact that I specifically picked out some random young guys that are indisputably miles better than every young guy we have combined, I can’t really see the argument for “young guys don’t see minutes under Kerr.”

Melton (vet) is 7th in minutes at 20, Horford 8th at 19. Just for reference.

Steph/Jimmy/Dray are 1st/2nd/3rd respectively in minutes and top 3 in starts. So unless you’re saying that he plays Steph/Jimmy/Dray too much, I’m not sure what you mean when you say “Kerr defers to vets too much.”

If you mean that he only plays them in the first half: https://nbarotations.info/team/GSW2025 . Also not super true, though, he does default to Steph/Jimmy/Dray/Melton in crunch. Who have also been some of our better performers as of late, so…

They definitely wouldn’t have played in 2022 when the warriors won the championship.

but I kinda doubt it with how much he defers to the vets on the team.

They played Jordan Poole major minutes during that playoff run cause and no one today would say Poole has high basketball IQ.

Argument #2: Kerr also loves playing Podz so he clearly makes exceptions

Franz would have def got minutes if warriors drafted him

It’s very hard to prove, but I really think every draft class has one or two busts that would have been awesome in a different situation. And it’s not always even the team’s fault, sometimes it’s just a bad personality fit. I think everyone has seen it at work when someone doesn’t meet their potential mainly because they didn’t gel well with the boss or colleagues, and I imagine in the nba that effect is magnified

Lacob thought he was the magic sauce, and not Steph Curry.

He pulled a Jerry Krause

Lacob wanted to pivot from Steph after 2019

Steph was 31 years old in 2019

So unless you thought Steph was done at 31 years old, idk what you mean

what a stud

It was Lacob and Myers vs. Kerr and West about trading Klay for Love - people remember West because he of the threat but I do find the disagreement between Kerr and ownership/the front office interesting too.

Either LaMelo or Haliburton would’ve been incredible next to Curry

It was such a bad draft on top. Nobody wanted to trade up for the Warriors pick apparently. Lots of 3 and D guys later on, and one Haliburton
