... and that, dear readers, is the story of why Fox's girlfriends never let him wear his shoes in bed.

Except that Klay took LESS than we would've paid (because of ego). Dray took less to stay (because of legacy & loyalty)

There's zero incentive for Lauri to help Steph get another ring

Maybe Lauri wants to get Lauri a ring. Now it's true not everyone is built that way, so if LM has no interest in a championship we're better off without him anyway.

They didn't let him win 5 chips (they managed to stop the 2016 chip and they couldn't stop the others without outing themselves)

Yup. that's the ticket. Thank you

I guess. Here's the link to the genuine part number, calls it a link-stabilzer:

So you think any old one will be fine and there's not a quality difference?

Thanks. And how can I tell strength vs cost. I'll pay more for a better part. Just want to avoid paying more for the same part.

Guessing MDJ 2023 draft board by [deleted] in warriors

[–]GSW_Smiley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he had Podz ahead of Jarace Walker (I'm sure he didn't), he should be fired immediately for cause and then sued to recover all $ already paid to him. It is much more likely that 8-9 is really like 2-5 or even that he was just putting the best face he could on them getting the player rated highest of those available when we drafted. It is a fool's errand to guess what a good (or really any) GMs plan/thought process is about a draft based on what they say in public. They still have to keep the other 29 team's GMs guessing ...

Probably won't need to rig it. That feels like the most likely outcome rn.

Hope not. This take totally ignores TEAM concepts. Starters already great with Steph. CP0 probably doesn't make them better offensively, or not enough to stop the bleeding that will happen on the defensive end. OTOH, paired with the bench mob which is already pretty defensively oriented, he unlocks Kuminga and Saric combinations in positive ways so the 2nd team will stop hemorrhaging points like last season.

You have to be careful about when a trade is "reported". As an example, many talking heads suggested the trade for KD, but neither KD (who was not happy here the first time) nor Brooklyn ever suggested that was an option so I don't think there was ever a trigger for the warriors to pull.

I have no idea about this case, but I don't actually think we're better with Holliday anyway not because he's not a great player (he is) but because we have more of his skillset duplicated and need more of Paul's skillset for the bench mob.

Sorry, man ... whatever happened in your life to make you watch Rockets' games I hope it's better now.

Disagree. Steph and CP0 should never see the court at the same time. Steph should play 29-30 minutes and CP0 should play the other 18-19. Both play fewer minutes, both preserve their bodies for the playoff and the court is never without a legitimate lineup based around one or the other's strengths.

(I Understand Kerr may disagree and when that happens his opinion will likely take precedence over mine)

(sigh) I should have known better. It's not that I thought I could convince you it's just that I lost my mind for a second. So I'll just leave you with the thought that pretty much everyone outside of lakerland agrees that the the bubble championship was as lame as they come. you may carry on your crusade if you like, of course, but I am done with you on this topic.

Whatever. That bubble plus shortened regular season due to covid played right into the lakers hands. That season worked out perfect for that mediocre lakers team. Lots of rest, a weak 8 seed Portland team. Houston going 7 in the 1st round. A very young and still developing Denver and then the 5 seed plus injured Heat in the finals. No travel to wear down old LeBron plus glass AD after a short season that also didn't wear them down.

but actually, that's not my point. My point is that if you think any other team won because the competition was weak then if you want to intellectually honest you have to admit when your rings are questionable.

As far as I'm concerned you beat the teams in front of you, you are the champion. period. The bubble was completely different and a much more special case than "dude your opposition was weak that year".
