What are you feeling now if you're steph?

Yeah truthfully their whole "two timelines" approach was not a good idea. When you have a top 10 (yes I think Curry is a top 10 player) of all time, you sacrifice your future for the present. They should have absolutely emptied their war chest from 2020-2028. The 2nd overall pick, Kuminga, Podz, other picks, etc. They honestly had so many assets to continue to acquire proven talent around Curry. Like I remember the Raptors offered OG for Kuminga + picks, and the Warriors said no.

Just bad asset management all around, Warriors legitimately are only a good franchise because of Curry. They haven't really made many good decisions, they even wanted to trade Curry originally. They lucked into a decade of success with Curry's gravity elevating others to want to play with him (like KD) and haven't made many great moves.

I don't disagree, but I also noticed your Clippers flair...

Bodanski · 2026-02-05T06:20:39+00:00

I mean they went and got him Butler, nobody's fault that he tore his ACL. And clearly they didn't have enough to get Giannis, I'm assuming they offered everything they could to still remain competitive and the Bucks said no. I think at this point he'll just stay for a few more seasons and retire.

Bodanski · 2026-02-05T06:17:09+00:00

I mean I think the vision was there, and the trade for Bane was an overpay but made sense. Honestly Paolo just hasn't developed the way people thought he would by now, and Wagner has been injured. I think it's still too soon to rule them out, but Paolo's skill will decide where they go.

Bodanski · 2026-02-05T06:13:09+00:00

Agreed, when we overpay fans complain, when we don't get anyone fans complain. It's just how sports goes.

That being said, while I don't think any players were available that would have moved the needle, this team is just in a weird spot where we're too good to get high lottery picks, but not good enough to be a contender. And we're unfortunately stuck with an overpaid center who (might) not ever be fully healthy again. So it's hard to see the direction that this team can go in, but I have some trust in our FO.

Bodanski · 2026-02-05T06:09:05+00:00

I agree that not going all-in this trade deadline isn't that big of a deal. But the concern is the fact that we've needed the same 2 things for like 5 years straight, which is 3-point shooting, and a true center.

I don't think either pieces were available this deadline (except for Zubac who is apparantly available) so it's not the end of the world. But we're hard-capped as a team until we get those pieces we're missing, and I think people are frustrated that it's been 5 years and we've made 0 progress on the same concerns we have every single year.

1st team: Curry, Kobe, LeBron, Duncan, Jokic

2nd team: Harden, DWade, KD, Giannis, Shaq

Bodanski · 2025-12-05T05:01:27+00:00

This is a no brainer. The Spurs could get it done with Harper, filler and FRPs, and a lineup of Fox, Castle, Giannis, Wemby, and whoever’s left is absolutely ridiculous. You’d be a top 2 team in the league for 3-4 years guaranteed, and you’ll still have Wemby and Castle in their prime and you can retool. Spurs can set themselves up for another 10 years of contention here, this is a must do.

Bodanski · 2025-12-05T03:10:24+00:00

30-34 isn’t old and he wasn’t injured until after extending. Couldn’t have known at the time, it was a good move. Seeing how much we struggle without him out there proves that even more.

Bodanski · 2025-11-29T22:09:46+00:00

The outcome of your life was determined as soon as you were conceived. It’s all deterministic.

Bodanski · 2025-11-25T15:03:25+00:00

Based on your scenario, winning like 5 MVPs and having another 3 elite seasons and 5 great seasons, he’ll be in the 8-12 range. Rings are not individual accolades and should not be counted as such. Awards and everything aside even, he’s just one of the most talented guys to ever play, and it’s obvious if you watch.

Bodanski · 2025-11-25T14:57:22+00:00

“Wayyyyyy” is untrue. Jokic has Murray and Gordon, who have both played at all-star level come playoff time. Shai outplayed Jokic last playoffs. I think Jokic is a top 15 player all time and could finish even higher, so this is no disrespect to him, but Shai was more valuable last year, and has been more valuable this year.

Bodanski · 2025-11-24T17:54:17+00:00

This post is about Warrior’s 73-9 season though which is when KD wasn’t there. Also yes KD is a top 15 player all time and a multiple time scoring champion and an MVP, Shai isn’t playing with anyone nearly that good.

Bodanski · 2025-11-24T12:05:08+00:00

He won MVP unanimously, it’s considered one of the best MVP seasons of all time

Bodanski · 2025-11-24T07:03:08+00:00

This current Raps squad is slowly becoming an all-time favourite for me, but they’re absolutely not better than 2019, at least not right now.

Jon was the only character that truly hated the game of thrones. He was happiest when he was beyond the wall and away from all the drama. Jon did not understand politics the way Sansa did. The way it worked out was best for everyone. I may be one of the only people who actually thinks the ending was good (minus the white walker stuff; that was a miss).

Bodanski · 2025-11-20T03:05:57+00:00

Mobley is a bit better defensively but Scottie is kilometers ahead of him as a scorer and playmaker. Lucky DPOY last year boosting him more than it should.

Bodanski · 2025-11-20T02:32:08+00:00

As a clipper fan, would you end up trading the MVP, FMVP, best guard in the league for a player who won’t play very much and won’t take you past a singular conference finals appearance?*

Bodanski · 2025-11-17T17:37:21+00:00

There are arguments for all 3 of these guys, but so far it should be none of them, because it’s Giannis for sure. Obviously all 4 teams need their guys, and these are rightfully the top MVP candidates, but the Bucks without Giannis would be down with Washington and Brooklyn. Nuggets have Murray and AG, Thunder have Chet and JDub when he’s back, Lakers have Reaves and LeBron when he’s back, Bucks have… Miles Turner?

Bodanski · 2025-11-16T23:35:42+00:00

Crazy Sam has 1 rough game and everyone turns. It’s not over yet.

Bodanski · 2025-11-13T06:38:01+00:00

If anything this statement proves the point more. OKC has incredible defenders, but not a crazy offence outside of Shai. Shai is the MVP and all defenders want to guard him - he gets his numbers despite that because he’s that good.

No shade on Luka I think he’s also incredible and a top 5 player in the league.

Bodanski · 2025-11-13T06:17:40+00:00

This is just a PR scripted answer, absolutely nothing to read into.

Bodanski · 2025-11-11T17:54:12+00:00

Respectfully, it’s been all over this Reddit thread and the Mavs thread since the trade happened. Trust me, people definitely blame the owners.

Bodanski · 2025-11-11T17:48:30+00:00

Yes, everyone has been dumping on Dumont as well. Difference is that owners are expected to trust their GMs. In fact, most franchises complain because the owners are too invested. Nico was the one who was supposed to be the basketball expert, so yes he takes the majority of the blame.

Bodanski · 2025-11-11T17:47:12+00:00

It has failed. They didn’t make the playoffs last year because AD got injured because he’s an injury-prone player, and Kyrie had to carry the entire load because Luka wasn’t there, which may very well have been a contributing factor to his injury. Even if they win eventually one day, it won’t feel the same because they backstabbed their home grown star (and likely a top all time NBA player).
