Golden State Warriors thread - All Star 5

[fidstar]

We aren't the powerhouse team anymore so the glamour has worn off, and we are a state with high income tax and often make players look unplayable with our system.

Happy with the two pickups.

 

[ZionMig22]

Saric is a great pickup

Stretch 4/5 who can shoot

 

[ZionMig22]

I am actually content with the bench now

CP3, GPII, Moody, Kuminga, Saric

CP3, Curry, Klay, Wiggins, Dray to close games out

 

[Kramer1]

JaVale stretch waived by Mavs.

He's the spot minute big we need, and a nice lob threat to pair with CP3.

 

[fidstar]

I love me some JM, but I think he's cooked.

Yeah, probably right...but 5-10 minutes he's better than a g league stiff.

He will sign for Lakers or Suns

 

[fidstar]

Already injuries. Green out the first two weeks of the season. Really needed some reps pre-season with Paul.

 

[Scotty_222]

Can we go after star lord now that he’s out in Portland? He’d be perfect

 

[fidstar]

Not sure I want the guy who only plays an average of 42 games a year.

 

[Kramer1]

Time Lord? Looney makes less than half his money. Expensive back up 5, and would cost a FRP. Pass.

Portland won't be the worst though if they keep Williams and Brogdon.

I'll take any win over the Lakers. Good contributions from Kuminga, Moody and Pods from the looks...that's what we need to see.

 

[fidstar]

Podziemski looks like good depth at the guard.

Podziemski looks like good depth at the guard.

Just watched replay and he looks good. You can see the DDV comparisons...less athletic but looks a more natural PG.

Kuminga shooting well...but the handle...yikes. Makes Jaylen Brown look like Kyrie.

 

[Kramer1]

Not a line up that will work in all situations, but Stef looks like he loves playing off CP3. Space really opens up for him.

Didn't watch today's game, but saw he had 17 free throws today. Nice and aggressive.

 

[AJ_2000]

Kuminga shooting well

20+ ppg average in preseason. Im not a huge believer in preseason performances, but that's pretty outstanding. Left hope he can build on it during the season

 

[AJ_2000]

Home opener tomorrow against the suns. Then 7 of 8 on the road, let's hope we've sorted out or road issues, otherwise we'll be bottom of the league

 

[Kramer1]

Wiggins is just so ****ing passive.

Currently 6 rebounds and 3 assists in 3 games of basketball.

 

[AJ_2000]

2-0 on the road, today against Houston was closer than it needed to be, but we look better than the trash we served up away from home last season.

 

[ZionMig22]

Back to Back win

Would have lost this last season

 

[AJ_2000]

Back to Back win

Would have lost this last season

3 straight!

 

[Kramer1]

Pels less Ingram aren't much, but Stef looks as good as ever, and rookies were insane.

 

[fidstar]

Best game so far. Love that we are positive when Steph sits. Paul has been great.

 

[ZionMig22]

Warriors will need to make a decision on the 14th roster spot soon

Notable FA's:

Terrence Ross SG/SF
JaMychal Green PF/C
Rudy Gay SF/PF
Will Barton SG/SF
Terence Davis SG
Jeremiah Robinson-Earl PF
Nerlens Noel C
TJ Warren SF
Goran Dragic PG
Kevin Knox SF
Blake Griffin PF/C
Juan Toscano-Anderson PF

We need another stretch big who can screen, score and rebound.

Robinson-Earl is my choice. 6'8'' who screens and can shoot the 3
Noel 2nd

I had the impression we were going with Gay, but holding off on filling the spot to save a few bucks.

I wanted Noel last year, but he's absolutely toast. Dedmon probably ticks the skill set box, but if he couldn't work in the Heat system he likely doesn't work in ours.

I come back to Dwight...let's get a bit older and a bit weirder see what plays out.

Holmgren currently tearing us a new one...none of them are staying with him.
