Pwill gettin 7 pts/3 reb for $18 million a year. Wiseman/pwill is a lose-lose.

Facts but hopefully they would have taken Lamelo

The only thing stupider than the Bulls contingency plans are their plans smh

OTOH without being able to dangle Carter they might not have done the equally dogshit Vooch trade in this scenario and kept those 2021 and 2023 picks. Ended up with Franz or maybe even someone better since they would have sucked more those years.

But then we wouldn’t have made the Vooch trade

Who knows. Maybe Wiseman would have developed better on a team not the warriors where he wasn’t needed to play in a system that he was a bad fit for.

Better than trading for Vuc still

PWill and Carter aren’t tearing up the league lol

Though the Warriors are just beginning to ramp up trade discussions, they know of at least several teams interested in moving up to No. 2. One is Charlotte, which, to take Wiseman at No. 2 and fill a glaring need at center, could offer Golden State the No. 3 pick and an intriguing frontcourt player such as Miles Bridges.

Another option could be trading with Chicago, which reportedly wants a playmaker. To draft Ball at No. 2, the Bulls could offer the No. 4 pick and Wendell Carter Jr., who’d have a chance to become Golden State’s long-term answer at center.

If the Warriors move outside the top three picks, they’d likely eye Israeli small forward Deni Avdija, who can guard multiple positions and slide into a secondary-playmaker role. According to a league source, Golden State has become “infatuated” with Avdija’s skill level and believes he can develop into a Danilo Gallinari-type.

Yeah it’s trust me bro

Of course he does - he can’t share it, but he knows

Edit: to anyone still seeing this, please read the comment thread to see his bleacher report-sourced articles about the possibility that the Warriors would consider trading down pre-draft. No “deal in place”, just typical pre-draft speculative journalism.

Sadly yes.

I think at that time they were looking at Vassel, Avidja, Hali, Toppin

Klay tore his Achilles the morning of the draft, like hours before it started.

the Kawhi draft comp is a hell of a drug

The Anthony Randolph prototype

I’ve gone to 60 bulls games over the last couple years and have never stopped to wonder how talented Pat Will is. If he’s not dribbling off his own foot, he’s putting up the worst dunking FG% in history. He’s hot buttered ass through and through.

He’s tricking you jus like he tricked our GM. Dude is straight up booty.

what talent bruh he can’t shoot consistently, can’t create, can’t handle the ball

Deng got ⁵⁄₇₁ and they offered BG like ⁵⁄₅₀. I was pissed at the time but it turned out great.

Can’t even do shit without someone either replying like he did or with “☝️🤓” its sad, man

LMAO

genius

Absolutely

no question. 4th overall picks don’t always turn into stars, but he was genuinely one of the worst players in the league this year among guys who actually play significant minutes

Not really, in my memory. Maybe it’s the draft people I follow and read about but a week before the draft Pat Williams started rising suddenly and wouldn’t stop, every day people would talk about how they heard that he could go late lottery, then top 10, top 5. I remember on draft night thinking he was probably going 5 to the Cavs.

It depends on how you define a huge surprise. If a consensus #2 pick gets drafted #1, it can still be a surprise yet in real terms hrs only moved 1 draft position. If a projected #60 pick is picked at #45, it’s not really much of a surprise despite moving up 15 positions.

Where are people getting this idea? It’s literally made up. Deni is the most reviled player on this sub because of where he was born. So many threads about him are completely meaningless but exist to give people an out to be flat out xenophobes and get away with it. Defending Deni will you get banned far quicker than calling him a baby killing genocide supporter. 

Are you new here? Even mentioning you like Deni a little and people bombard you like crazy.

Listen I don’t like Israel either but Deni is also very good at basketball lol

When we start doing some “what side” and “we all know why” I start feeling like im watching one of Kyrie’s documentaries

He’s also like the only israeli i can name besides….. um…. Was TJ Leaf Israeli? So Silver isnt doing a good job

Or maybe he’s just a really good basketball player

I thought you were joking, that’s hilarious actually.
