Some Warriors fans cherry picking stats and games. How about the game before this one at Boston?:
12 points
4-6 from 3
9 rebounds
6 assists
2 blocks
2 steals
I am very interested to see what happens with him as a free agent
Jordan Poole estuvo disponible el ultimo partido pero no vio minutos. Aun con las lesiones de Trey Murphy y Missi.
Mosley ha decidido acortar la rotación antes que darle minutos a Poole.
Poole promedia 6 puntos en 16 minutos esta temporada. Con 19% en Tiros de campo y 21.4% en Triples.
Todo parece indicar que, al igual que el año pasado, perdió su lugar en la rotacion.
Let the Booker/Jokic/KAT propaganda campaign begin.
That train ain’t never late
the warriors believe they can attract a “big” name next summer, either through a trade or free agency, per @jakelfischer.

🤦🏿. KD going to go down in Warriors history as the biggest blessing and curse in the history of the franchise.
Really got Joe thinking that all big names are on the table instead of building a team and maintaining one normally.
"The Warriors are one of those teams out there that are looking around... thinking are we sure Jokic isn't going to become available next summer"
@JakeLFischer tells @DarthAmin why Golden State wants to keep their flexibility open

Then who they adding to make the salaries work. Gui and GP2?
the bucks reportedly want to trade myles turner for kristaps porzingis, but the warriors are unwilling to include moses moody in a deal, per @clutchpoints.
So we're likely looking at Jalen Smith, Yves Missi and Myles Turner or Ware respectively.
Turner is pretty near straight up with some negotiation. Ware, Smith and Missi are cheap contracts and the big question is, what does GS have to take with them?
Zach Collins, Patrick Williams, Buddy Hield from Chicago?
Pels don't really have a contract to get long term relief from with KP. That's probably adding picks on GS side.
If it Ware instead of Turner, is it worth taking Caris Levert or Gary Trent Jr.'s contracts?
the warriors have reportedly discussed kristaps porzingis trades with the bulls, pelicans and bucks, per @brettsiegelnba.
Then you’re not trading him. WTF?!?!?
most teams reportedly view kristaps porzingis as a negative asset, but the warriors remain hesitant to attach draft picks or take back long-term salary in a trade, per @dannyemerman.
The fact Kuminga is just a solid role player got nothing to do with Kerr either.
To hear you Kultists tell it, Kerr is the reason he’s not Jaylen Brown
Thinking of a trade Dunleavy could do with the likely self-imposed Lacob limitations of KP contract, (maybe) Moody and the 27 first (and no other).
My Reasoning:
1. Playing with Steph and Dray and Jimmy on a team playing for something may light a fire under Turner. He’s a center you can pair Dray with
2. Depending on who you hear in Milwaukee, Rollins is having some issues adjusting to Taylor Jenkins. He apparently was a big Doc Rivers/Rajon Rondo guy. He’s also an impending FA and Burries and the kid they got from Miami is the future at that position there.
3. 27 draft isn’t that great. Get protection on the pick is low risk.
4. Losing Moody hurts, but add GP2 and it’s a 3 for 1 deal that allows GS to sign Dalen Terry.
I think the Lauri interest died when he got the new contract. It’s not financially feasible now. They’re not dealing Dray for him and hoping he and Yaxel can hold down the defense imo
lauri markkanen could emerge as a trade target for the warriors, who have shown significant interest in him in the past, per @seandeveney.
“he is 29 and not quite on this team’s rebuilding timeline, but he remains a top big-man scorer, and has long had the trade interest of teams around the nba–most notably the warriors, but others, too.”
*Sigh*
Lacob and Dumars are the irresistible force and unmovable object of inactivity and ineptitude.
That’s why I have no belief there will be any trades and Tim and Nick back it up as Lacob’s mouthpieces with the whole “If we traded the pick we wouldn’t have Yaxel” propaganda.
God bless Marcus Thompson for being the voice of reason on +/- as he pointed out later in the pod that, while they wouldn’t have Yaxel, they’d have Jaylen Brown at the minimum (depending on how serious you believe LeBron was)
Hopefully, we get another Jimmy scenario and Dunleavy can sell Lacob to move the 27 first being it’s an ass draft and hopefully they’ll end up drafting in the same area they did the year they traded the pick for Jimmy.
Tim Kawakami makes the case that the Warriors may not be that far from contending when Jimmy’s back while simultaneously saying it makes no sense to upgrade the team using a couple draft picks #LightyearsParadox
That racist Kris Weems joins the Kuminga Konspiracy
Warriors assistant Kris Weems on Jonathan Kuminga:
"What I would tell him all the time is, 'You gotta do some of the things that you don't want to do to do the things that you want to do.' And I don’t think he really understood that. Steve [Kerr] was asking, like, run the floor, get to the corner, and everything. But JK wasn't absorbing how important playing off the ball was for us. [Wiggins] figured it out... He started to figure out the pin-ins, and how to attack, using [Stephen Curry] as the decoy. JK just was like, 'Just give me the ball, man.'"

Interesting. Ben Simmons has wanted to be a Warrior for a minute. Basically has always wanted to be Draymond’s replacement
Ben Simmons says he called out Steve Kerr during a preseason game after the Warriors passed on signing him:
"I said something to Steve. I said, ‘Y’all didn’t want me?’ ... And [Kerr] said, ‘I didn’t know if you were healthy.’ And I was like, ‘OK. That’s why you have people that do their job and go fly out and see.’"

Charles Lee calls out Naz Reid
"Unfortunately, he didn't meet our standards in the first half, and at halftime we made the decision that he wouldn't play in the second half."😳

Herb and Yves for a first and a swap maybe. Two firsts? Come on now Joe
Latest Pelicans intel, via @FearTheBrown:
- People around the league believe the Pels and Dejounte Murray want to work together to "find [Murray] a better situation."
- Jordan Poole told the team that he "would be open to opportunities elsewhere."
- Joe Dumars is "extremely high" on Jeremiah Fears.
- Teams are continuing to monitor Herb Jones; Pelicans still asking for around 2 first-round picks.
- Warriors recently inquired about Yves Missi.
Dumars’ level of overrating the value of his talent makes even Lacob and Dunleavy look reasonable
The Pelicans are open to trading Herb Jones, who is averaging just 3 points in 17 minutes per game, per @FearTheBrown
New Orleans is reportedly asking for two first-round picks in return.
“League sources say the Pelicans have held firm at an asking price near two first-round picks, though no team has met that figure. Many in the league believe Jones' value will continue to go down if his minutes continue to be sporadic. Jones' contract is also slated to jump next year from $14.9 million to $20.8 million. Nevertheless, several playoff teams view Jones as a valuable cultural and basketball fit.”

Bill been obsessed with the Warriors going after Sabonis for the past two years.
“Yaxel [Lendeborg] might have single-handedly saved the Steph era.”
“Yaxel looked like mid-2010s LeBron.”
@BillSimmons can’t believe how good the Warriors rookie has looked so far to start the season and wonders whether it’s revitalized Golden State.
Continuing to monitor this one. If GS is throwing in a first or more with the KP contract, why not try for a future piece like Murray over the present non factors like Turner and others?
Game 3 and they already don’t care. If you knew you had to manage the old guys to a game 3 level degree, then the roster construction is more ridiculous
