We want LoonGod back too

For sure what he had during 2022 Finals

I never said they weren’t fine rotation players? I said they were depreciating assets. Would you agree they were worth more in a trade a few years ago than they are today? Also if you really believe moody was key to that championship run playing 8 mins a game I have a bridge to sell you.

Podz is negative AF and complains when his flopping maneuver doesn’t get him free throws. pretty much is a traffic cone on defense aside the occasional charge. hope the warriors enjoy rotting on their team for nothing

Podz literally only re entered the starting lineup after jimmys injury and moody has been in the league since 2021 and only entered this year. That is besides the point of my comment, when you are looking to contend you shouldn’t operate on two timelines it’s just stupid unless whoever you draft is somehow completely NBA ready.

Podz shoots 40% from the field when he starts and close to 50% when coming off the bench. Another disaster class incoming

The fact that Podz out of all people is starting isn’t the flex you’d imagine

Post too

Nah because Kerr has too rigid of an offensive scheme and refuses to adapt it based on personnel. Same reason he never really ran pick and roll with Steph and KD together. Hes a great coach but for certain guys it’s just tough to work with him. The warriors drafting him was just a classic example of ownership being unaligned with coaching.

He’s had plenty of time to “develop.” He’s played more minutes than Andrew Wiggins some seasons, and way more than Moses Moody. Moody is a rotation piece and sometimes starter/closer.

Also, how long do you think a player has to develop? He’s only 23, if he ever had potential, he will show it on his new team.

It’s crazy you guys are already lining up reasons to blame the Warriors after he gets traded and proves to everyone once and for all that he’s not that good.

Exactly. Since that first ring with Steph, Klay and Dray, the warriors have been on win now mode and the urgency of it has only increased as Steph has aged. You can’t develop and try to fully contend at the same time,. You always end up focusing more on one than the other.

It is exactly as you said.

Developing players requires mistakes but win now means you can’t afford the mistakes.
Young players need minutes but win now means you need to play contenders.
Veterans have trust but young players need tolerance.
Young players getting minutes in the rotations of the playoffs shrink considerably.

Meanwhile Draymond fucked up Jordan Poole’s full potential and literally downgraded his basketball ability

Looney, Podz, Post, Poole. If you consider older G Leaguers finding a role, then JTA and GP2 count as well.

If you consider “developing to full potential” in the literal sense, then Wiseman fits that bill because he his full potential just wasn’t an NBA player.

Lacob choosing Kuminga over Kerr would be the ultimate owner-meddling move.

He clearly should’ve had more opportunities over years

Roster has been bleak post 22

I can tell when someone hasn’t actually followed someone’s career. All of the talk about Kuminga on this sub is bullshit.

He’s played a lot early and often. He was just ass. You can’t teach a non hooper how to hoop. He’s has terrible instincts, IQ, and mentality. You can’t teach those things.

He’s been a losing asset since day1 and hasn’t shown Anything outside of small spurts of good play here and there. When do you blame a player for being bad and not an org. The same org who has rebuilt or built careers for tons of players.

Kuminga conversations on this sub are hilarious. Hopefully your team overpays for someone who is athletic but can’t hoop at a winning level.

G league and ignite are two different words things brother. This is why I don’t take anyone on this sub seriously.

Ignite might have been a g league team but the purpose was something else.

Go learn ball and go learn the league.

Infact go to your local blacktop and play for a few weeks.

Y’all are dumber than rocks. Easily influenced by media and highlights.

Stop responding if you can’t make a layup line warmup or if a free throw makes you sweat.

Why didn’t Steve Kerr just develop him into a #2 option next to Steph, is he stupid?
