Where are the game threads?

The Warriors are making everyone but Steph available.

I would loooove to get Klay for DLo/Rui/JHS/Picks. Imagine that 3 point shooting next to Lebron and AD. It’s likely we would get outbid by a team like Miami…. But I’m sure we would still be in the running for DLo for Draymond lol

 

PG-Caruso
SG-LaVine
SF-Finney-Smith
PF-James
C-Davis

Would be a solid line up. I'm okay to part with Reaves if we ultimately end up with a line up like this.

 

Klay is borderline washed, 43M dollars is outrageous. Don't want any parts of Klay, unless he got traded and bought out.

I'd like to grab Kuminga, Looney or Moody. Cheap contracts with decent talent attached.

 

would love to get looney if he's included in some deal for them to bring in a star and we can be a third team facilitating.

kuminga and moody are interesting, but i think a lot of their hype was generated from gs's pride more than actual results. both are going to be extension-eligible this summer, i think? that's when things start to get dicey and you can really lose value on players (see rui in washington). so i'm not sure what their value is in trade. i'm pretty sure chicago would gladly take on even this version of wiggins for lavine if he came with either guy, though.

 

We know who has the next exclusive scoop coming out of team Klutch

 

Would you guys trade Reaves and JHS to Atlanta for Murray and Sacramento's 2024 first-round pick? This could potentially give us a shot at drafting Bronny, and maybe having Lebron for his final contract.

 

Haynes on the player type we're looking for and on our interest in Murray

 

Reaves for Murray and a late 1st rounder so we can draft Bronny even though he’s not worth a 1st round pick?

I cannot emphasize this enough: hell no.

 

wiggins is having the worst year of his career at age 28 with three more years on his contract at 25+ million per. very curious to see how the warriors get the big upgrade everyone is forecasting.

 

Vegas, care to share with the class?

 

The upgrade from Reaves to Murray isn't enough to change our destiny this season. The Murray trade has to be for DLo, maybe JHS too if they want him and draft capital. I'm not even sure the upgrade from DLo to Murray changes our destiny this season.

Irwin said on his podcast yesterday that he thinks the FO doesn't want to trade the 2029 first right now, because on draft night we could have additional salary (Vando) plus three firsts to trade. He doesn't always have the scoop, but he's been right sometimes. Waiting to take a really big swing on draft night makes sense to me, right now we're too limited in what we can trade (I'm considering Vincent basically off the table given his injury) and there aren't enough guys available. The first name that came to mind was Mitchell, he has a player option for 2025-2026 so he could really start leverage that going into next season.

I don't care at all about getting Bronny tbh. So long as LeBron is still playing at a high enough level to compete, I'm skeptical he'll just go wherever Bronny is. I'll call that bluff, and I think/hope he eventually realizes that's probably not the best thing for Bronny either. If LeBron declines to the point where he is willing to go anywhere Bronny is, well then I don't really care if he finishes his career here.

 

2 1sts?



(If you know, you know)





Woj today:


Seems he's taken the #1 spot as the guy we're most linked to by everyone.

 

Lakers, Miami, Philadelphia, New York and Detroit named suitors for Dejounte Murray


According to Jake Fischer of Yahoo! Sports, Detroit, New York, Philadelphia, Miami and the Lakers are considered teams to compete for the Hawks shooting guard.
Why Detroit is on this list ?

 

Yeah, would have given 10y to Spo easily.

True. I liked his mentality but he lacks coaching ability

I don't think Hayes is an NBA player.
Tyus or Rozier would change our landscape. Still trust DLo though. I don't think we have a roster problem. We have a coaching problem
