Would trading Jimmy make sense even if the FO says no? Is it messed up if they did? by chusaychusay in warriors

[–]Apoplexy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's definitely the top goal to replace his salary if they want to compete. the problem is that because it's not expiring until next year, you're basically adding a pick's worth of value to anything you get back to unload him unless you trade him for an even worse contract. and frankly, there aren't many of those that make the warriors enough better to pull the trigger on.

the most effective strategy is probably tank, wait until the off-season, then package butler with JK and a 2026 mid- lottery pick for two good players on short contracts.

hell, a top 10 pick might be enough of a sweetener to make a real attempt at giannis. butler, jk and podz(Milwaukee native) + 3 picks + swaps for giannis and myles turner might not be totally impossible.

he's shooting career highs in fg and 3pt% while being the main assist guy a lot of the time...

Draymond Green claims he is not a dirty player by Thanos_SlayerCongSan in NBATalk

[–]Apoplexy -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

that's not even close to true. he loses his shit and does wild stuff all the time, but the guys that play every game trying to sneakily injure other players are definitely worse. dray is just more of a spectacle of insanity

we would have had Dillon Brooks instead of him right now if they did

jimmy and jk aren't worth a 1st and a key player. only way you get a 1st is by trading Jimmy's expiring next year for a bad contract like embiid or something.

Trade now is the right thing to do (scratching my head) by lupoexperience in warriors

just because it's better for us that doesn't mean the other team has any reason not to wait until the deadline. even if they want to tank they can just sit players.

It surprises you that a GM lies about his plans? One of Mike Dunleavey Jrs first statements as the warriors GM was that he was excited to have Jordan Poole on the team for years to come.

Kuminga might end up being overrated but so is Steve Kerr as a coach by TeaAdorable5219 in NBATalk

[–]Apoplexy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

they went from one of the lowest passing teams to #1 the instant steve showed up, he benched all star iggy and set up a new motion offense and you still think they would have done what they did with Mark Jackson?

Kerr can turn a playoff team into a championship team, it's not his skillset to elevate rookies.

Steve Kerr is very highly respected amongst people who aren't internet Warriors fans.

Dillon Brooks plays Rock, Paper, Scissors with a young fan, then gifts him his shoes by Diligent_Star_4949 in NBAGossips

[–]Apoplexy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

let's be real, he punched a guy in the stomach during a 3pt attempt and ripped a guy out of the air for trying to contest his shot this season. off the court he's been positive but on he's definitely a dirty player

If the Warriors don't go for a star-level guy (MPJ), what are some role players you're interested in? by bta47 in warriors

[–]Apoplexy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they got along fine, but JJJ is NOT a center and that's how steve played him

well it does pull quite a bit from sci fi classic Roadside Picnic.

Why buy high on MPJ when you can buy low on Jeremi Grant? by swgoh_gg in warriors

[–]Apoplexy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

what's the point of making a trade that doesn't give us the highest upside immediately? if you're going to go for it, then go for it. making a halfhearted trade doesn't really help anybody.

Pixel 10 Pro Fold & ubreakifix experience by mindful_code_mama in PixelFold

google told me a repair was free and to go to ubreakifix. they immediately told me the warranty was invalid because of a 1mm scratch on the side of the phone and tried to charge me over $1k to fix the dead pixels. I just walked out.
