@Hooponomics@Jakeley_OnSI as an old school warriors fan, this is how I feel like it would have gone: they trade for any of those players, they suffer a season ending injury immediately. hypotheticals are always undefeated. but no guarantees. still should have traded those dudes though
@Higher_Learning@VanLathan My only rebuttal to this is that other people that have messed up on this level, or were this risky in the opinion of the studios, were already stars. Jonathan Majors was not a star...yet. If this happened in the middle of his Kang run and he was BO gold, dif story. Also, racism.
The teams the warriors should be monitoring are the young teams who have never done anything and need to start signing guys to long term deals. Those are the teams to be monitoring. But instead they are chasing guys whose best years were 5 years ago. Fun
Sources told @ClutchPoints the Warriors will enter the 2026-27 season monitoring other teams facing pressure, specifically the Rockets and former two-time Finals MVP Kevin Durant.
Joe Lacob and the Warriors have not moved on from the idea of one day reuniting him with Curry.
@samesfandiari Obviously, there is a lot of nuance here. But ultimately, they took some huge gambles for the future that were questionable at the time and blew up in their faces. Now they've already screwed up the future. They are afraid of screwing up the future's future now.
@TKawakamiMuse That’s disingenuous dude. Context is important. The two people that didn’t return that hurt the most: Poole and Wiggins. Both of them returned in body but not spirit. The disease of more got Poole and Wiggins was a mess because of his dad
@warriorsworld Based on the evidence they’ve shown us? Watch them expire and get nothing for them and then tell us they tried but nothing good enough was available.
Nick Wagoner gives an update on the open spot at safety:
“It looks like there will be a battle again at safety. Marques Sigle and Ji'Ayir Brown were first up with Malik Mustapha rotating a bit with Sigle in this practice. Sigle had an interception on a ball thrown right to him by Mac Jones and Mustapha later had a nice PBU on a deep ball intended for WR Ricky Pearsall.”
@samesfandiari They want to be not wrong. They are playing prevent defense right now. Playing not to lose. It explains the whole thing. They are afraid to take another swing because they might miss. But you know what Michael Scott says that Wayne Gretzky says...
@nikotaughtyou They are somehow not ambitious and yet completely overly ambitious? Like they believe they are in on all of these superstars and then lose. And because they only chase superstars, they lose out on the moves that would actually help them get those superstars. It hurts my head
@WarriorsHuddle How is Lacob still trying to make sure they aren't bad when Steph leaves as much or more than he is trying to make sure they aren't bad while they actually have steph? That's the issue. He's trying to have his cake and eat it too and the cake is going bad (bad analogy I know)
