    lol, and that one is literally poku.

    for his career, he's 39% from the floor, 29% from three, and a minus on both ends.

    man, if you had half the patience for a guy we drafted a few months ago that you do for a guy drafted 4 years ago, has done nothing, and just got cut...

    If JHS can at least show something like this, but he can’t even jump an inch off the floor it seems like lol

    i'm 100% certain that if jhs had gotten consistent minutes on a bad team, he'd have at least a couple nice looking stat lines by now.

    He’s had impressive stats in the G League- and that’s just fine with me because he’s a developing player.

    I still have NO idea what that J was he airballed where “in the air” both legs shot out to the sides as wide as the wide “landing” of jumping jacks.

    Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr, an architect of four franchise championships, has agreed on a two-year, $35 million contract extension that will make him the highest-paid coach in NBA history, agents Rick Smith and Dan Eveloff of Priority Sports told ESPN on Friday.
    :ADORLY2:
    Kerr's deal was set to expire at the end of 2023-24, and his $17.5 million-a-season extension takes him through the 2025-26 campaign. The extension aligns him with the two years left on Stephen Curry's contract.

    Sorry, my size bias I guess, no matter what this guy does on offense …. I see a skinny, puny, midget with no chance of being any kind of NOT terrible on defense, and a big problem because of that …. player.

    Smh..you guys tend to go overboard with the defense stuff some times. Jokic, Luka, Dame, Lebron....those guys can't guard a chair. That doesn't stop them, from being elite game changers at all.

    You can always put some better defensive players around them.

    I like Trae. He's a fun and exciting player. But so is Dlo who has better size, familiarity and three point shooting.

    I'm just not convinced that trading both Dlo and Rui (would have to be for salaries) for Trae makes us better. Add in the picks too and it just doesn't seem to make sense to me in terms of the return. I like him but not that much. I feel differently about Donovan Mitchell who I love as a player, but as stated by myself and others I just don't see why he would come here.

    I do get the vibe that Trae is the player we are most likely trying to get because of the Klutch connection but I'm not convinced that it's a good move at all.

    Really, I'm bummed that our coach screwed us over this year and we weren't able to get a better view of what Dlo and Rui could do for us for a full season as starters. Before making a major move like this I would like a more thorough and bigger sample size of their play alongside Reaves, Lebron and AD.

    Damn Jones.. we are in the stretch run of the season, and you are still going on, and on, about what, coulda, shoulda, happened earlier in the campaign? They have ample opportunity, to prove all that right now.

    We already had a playoff run with these guys, whatever happens by the end of this one, is enough to judge whether we move forward with them or not IMO.

    If D'Angelo goes out and chokes again in the playoffs, who cares about his talent?

    I'd rather chase a chip while we still have LeBron, because D'Angelo ain't leading us , anywhere near one without ,Lebron anyway.

    The only mistake Darvin Ham made in the playoffs, was sticking with D'Angelo Russell against Denver.

    We're talking about 2/3 of the whole damn season coached at a substandard level on and on while you harp on and on about DLO's 4 games against Denver at a substandard level. Pot meet kettle.

    Which as pointed out will cause the whole team to be gassed having to play this hard NOW just to make the playoffs.
