i mean they couldn’t have fumbled the situation any worse and their fans were defending it for months on end lol

This is what happens when your first love chooses someone else. 

If KP was healthy we wouldn’t be able to get him for Kuminga

If theres any staff that could get him healthy though it’s probably this one with Celebrini. Them propping up OPJ for a ring was crazy work.

I think they’re moving tingus pingus tho

Especially with Giannis coming who needs a stretch5 next to him

So hes still a fantastic fit for the team

KP is one of the craziest what-ifs ever but yall ain’t ready for that

“We’re desperate to get rid of this loser, give us Giannis pls tnx”

Apparently only the Warriors fans could justify this type of stupidity

Mathurin for scraps next

It all went wrong since they drafted Wiseman at 2 but whatever they’ve won more than enough in the past 2 decades

I like that they leaked to shams that Milwaukee weren’t serious about doing a deal, like their offer wasn’t just players they didn’t want and a few picks

Well Giannis shoved Mike in the past so he doesn’t want Giannis anyway.

Haha I was about to say this is a Bulls-level fumbling

You think this is the absolute lowest during the summer best we could get was Malik Monk. At least in theory if KP is on the floor it makes our team better

KP tore his ACL that year

They’d honestly be pretty sick now except we’re probably only going to get two of them on the court on any given night.

I mean just go back to 2023 and it’s a sick core

Yeah Kings offered an OK package (Monk + 1 lightly protected FRP) and Warriors fans back then were nitpicking everything

It was a bad offer then too

Peak would have been Siakam.

We offered Siakam for him when we were shopping him out.

Fucking lol, big Warriors L.

And that pick would be staying with sac

You dodged a bullet by not getting Kuminga. Now send your Monk handgrenade somewhere else.

Trading for a lottery protected Kings pick should be grounds for immediate dismissal, everyone knows that’s two seconds in a shiny package.

that shit would not have conveyed

i think that’s the one that the front office probably wishes they could take back but if you told them they’d still win that last title maybe it worked out

“We need a big now. We don’t need a top prospect who’s proven himself overseas.”

Now, we have a lineup full of guards regardless.

Does Lamelo hit like 4 half counters as the backup PG? Obviously better now but 2022 Poole was crucial

I’m fine with how it all worked out in 2022 and beyond. We hit out legacy with the 2022 title

The 2020 draft was crazy difficult to predict. There basically wasn’t any chance to scout these players in college ball. Wiseman averaged (basically) 20, 10, & 3 blocks in college, but he only played 3 games. LaMelo played 12 games in the Australian league. Covid messed up that whole draft. The Warriors tried to trade down, but no one wanted to trade up in a draft with so many unknowns.

But, I was calling Wagner > Kuminga before the 21 draft. I really wanted the Warriors to take Kuminga because I wanted Wagner to fall to the Kings. That was a blunder by the Warriors.

Kuminga over Franz Wagner also has to hurt

our fans think that Lacob is the real shadow GM haha

Yep he was supposed to get Giannis with our DNP guys!

Back to where they were before Curry.

I wonder what the rebuild looks like for the Warriors when that comes. The team is a mega brand now and the most popular in China. Probably a top 3 FA destination with a lot of potential off the court.

Kuminga free from GS lol

I wouldn’t want to play in such a rigid system anyway tbh. They are the most particular team in the league and have been the past 10 years. Winning style for sure, but if you aren’t that type of player, unbearable to play in

Free at last! Free at last!

you had a good run sir. great even 🫡

New pfp?

Might as well as just bought him out trading him for someone who may never play a game again in pretty risky. Should’ve just taken Gabe Vincent and Dalton.

I mean, I doubt his future trade value will ever be much higher than it is now

Should they have traded him earlier? Probably. Should they keep holding him at this point? Probably not

Well it had to be before the deadline no matter what. The saga was too far soured (not to mention long). Just move on and buy low on KP (should he ever remain healthy)

Not that Carter has been great when he did get run, but we didn’t even play Keon when the dudes a baller. Who we do and don’t play, or even try to develop, isn’t an indication of the quality of player. Queta was another player the kings buried. That’s just how we do

Nah Carter played tonight and went 0-6 from 3. But clearly him, Saric, Monk, or a lotto protected first is better than JK

/s

His value has always been theoretical. Putting him out there was more likely to tank his value than increase it. Plus his DNPs started when he developed a random injury when we moved him to the bench.

Yeah,

I guess the criticism was that the warriors could have mane had one or the other back then and instead they got greedy and now they didn’t get either.

Although I’m interested to see how Porzingis turns out

Couldve gotten Monk already

who would when his coach/GM publicly shit on him?

glad JK got out of that situation

Kings offered Monk plus a FRP (Minnesota’s I think) but Warriors would have had to trade Buddy too and the FO didn’t want to trade Buddy.

LOL

Kinda both? It’s honestly hard to know because he’s never really been given run. The team was absolutely weird with him, but he also objectively wasn’t a good fit and there were questionable on-court results. The phrase “winning basketball” got thrown around a lot. That he could put up a lot of points, but never actually meaningfully contribute. It’s really just a long and drawn out mess.

The fact that they didn’t flip him the moment rumblings started that there was friction back when he was cheap and had higher perceived upside is still wild. They probably could’ve gotten a young player and a pick two years ago!

Tank Commanders

Tanking for that 2026 draft pick.

So did kuminga tech ically. Team option
