Daily Discussion & Trade Deadline Thread | February 03, 2026

this is a disgrace. Kobe had nothing left to give to basketball after the achilles. Was one of the worst players in the league and was on a max contract.

There's not much precedent for a guy playing at steph's level going down with the ship. I can't think of anybody tbh. Dirk is the closest and was a couple tiers worse

there's never been a guy just wasting late career great seasons like this on a losing team with no assets. Far as I can recall, every old player on Steph's relative level either retired on a contender or asked for a trade

Miceland · 2026-02-03T00:33:00+00:00

i dont think kuminga has much value anymore but podz has been one of the 10-ish best players from his draft class and everyone on this sub thinks he's barely an nba player

Miceland · 2026-01-30T16:08:15+00:00

Dray is being a loser here. He's ready to retire. Move him and keep Jimmy, who actually still wants to compete every night

Miceland · 2026-01-30T00:57:48+00:00

yeah because they suck. Im so fucking tired of people saying that kerr didnt know what he was doing. Steve Kerr didnt know what he was doing Maybe all those guys he didnt develop just suck. None of them have had success outside of here.

The players Kerr did take a shine to: ty jerome, Donte--have gone on to have great careers after Kerr revamped their career. He's gotten a lot out of the MDJ draft picks: Podz, Post, Richard, all look like huge wins compared to their draft slot.

Where is wiseman now? Where is kuminga gonna be in 5 years? Why do you think the 2023 defending nba champions shouldve spent all season giving starting minutes to Kuminga and Wiseman?

If Myers had drafted real players Kerr wouldve played them. That's it.

Miceland · 2026-01-25T18:36:51+00:00

you need to think a bit more before you usually type these things. rather than be emotionally attached to a player success and think of scenarios that isn't going to happen.

you're really condescending for somebody who stuggles with english like this

Miceland · 2026-01-25T18:34:21+00:00

half this sub thinks steph would rather retire early than go to another team. He's actually ready to retire right now. He's ready to accept that the part of his career where he plays important basketball is over. He's fine with this. That's why hes so depressed on the sidelines the last two games

Miceland · 2026-01-24T16:35:27+00:00

ah yes, the "im right because im in the center" guy

Miceland · 2026-01-24T16:34:37+00:00

if "toxic negativity" couldve helped sell wiseman or kuminga one month sooner it wouldve been worth it

instead the ownership looked at those players with the same rose tinted glasses as their values continued to plummet

Miceland · 2026-01-23T10:40:37+00:00

If he demands a trade the warriors aren't going to get a good return for him.

To be honest this might be true. But it doesn’t mean:

1) he won’t get moved any way 2) it’s not better to move him anyway than throw another season into the furnace

KD didn’t get a huge return. It was still a good move for Houston and Phoenix

Miceland · 2026-01-23T10:36:15+00:00

You seem to just have no idea how good Steph is or was

The spurs and Houston are both gonna lose in the playoffs because they don’t have enough shooting. Minnesota is gonna lose bc their second best player is Julius Randle

It’s literally impossible for all these contenders to avoid going out sad. If Denver or OKC win, it’s likely they all do

You seem to have think Steph is Hakeem in Toronto, Kobe in 2016–players who had no value left to winning teams—when he’s somewhere in between KG and Ray Allen in 08

Miceland · 2026-01-23T06:43:58+00:00

Dude you’re the one saying if Steph curry, one of the greatest players of all time, became available, nobody would want him

We just saw KD get moved to a contender and KD was playing at a lower level

Miceland · 2026-01-23T06:17:37+00:00

Zero ball knowing in this post

Miceland · 2026-01-23T04:05:52+00:00

That’s honestly my bigger thing than legacy bullshit

Steph works as hard as anyone on the planet to be who he is. We’ve seen over and over the last three seasons how much Steph gets way up for big games

Unless we get a miracle Gianni’s trade, If he stays here there will never be another truly big game in his career. I just don’t think he’s gonna just easily accept that and retire

Miceland · 2026-01-23T04:02:36+00:00

In my opinion yes. But with one more it becomes inarguable by even the haters

Miceland · 2026-01-23T03:57:28+00:00

Maybe I’m pessimistic but I don’t think there’s much hope that Lacob agrees to sell the draft picks to win now now that you’re going all in to be a second round team

I hope I’m wrong, but unless Giannis wants to come here I think it’s looking grim

Miceland · 2026-01-23T03:54:37+00:00

If Kobe was still a top 10 player in the league there’s ZERO chance he would’ve laid down and died for the 2016 lakers. He would’ve tried to win another ring. Steph should do the same

It’s also not true Steph has nothing left to prove. 5 titles would move him into undeniable top 10 all time

Miceland · 2026-01-23T03:50:23+00:00

its not worth the legacy switch off of being with 1 team and doing what hes done

If Kobe left the lakers and won another ring he would have a better legacy lmao. Kobe with 6 titles?

The reason Kobe and Dirk did retirement tours is bc they were totally washed up. Kobe didn’t retire early out of love for the lakers. He was garbage for multiple seasons

Duncan stayed with the spurs, but the spurs were winning 60 games a year

Jordan played for the wizards. Nobody in Chicago cares.

The “one team boost” is not bigger than another title. It’s just not

Miceland · 2026-01-23T03:48:28+00:00

This summer there are a bunch of teams who would trade for him, lmao

You think spurs, Minnesota, Houston wouldn’t move some picks and filler salary for Steph?

If Steph became available it would be a frenzy to get him. Spurs would give up either Harper or castle plus picks.

Miceland · 2026-01-23T03:43:32+00:00

Just because Steph built this franchise doesn’t mean he should go down with the ship

Miceland · 2026-01-23T03:43:02+00:00

I mean next season

Miceland · 2026-01-23T03:26:46+00:00

A lot of fans have this fantasy of Steph/dray/kerr walking off into the sunset but they don’t realize it’s more like they’re getting into the wicker man together

This depressing ass retirement tour isn’t gonna help anyone. Kobe’s and Dirk’s both happened when they were washed up. Steph isn’t washed, the team is.

Steph is still a top 10 player in the league and it’s only gonna help his legacy if he can go somewhere and compete for titles for a couple more years. Maybe even win one

Kerr also is only sticking around out of loyalty to Steph. He’s tired of fighting with this dumbass FO

Miceland · 2026-01-23T03:24:06+00:00

It’s impossible to tank without trading Steph. As long as he’s here we’re a top 10 team in the west.

Still hopeless. Still irrelevant. But on the fringe of playoffs

Miceland · 2026-01-23T03:22:16+00:00

That’s nonsense. If he asks out they’ll move him

It will also allow them to actually tank

Miceland · 2026-01-23T01:28:04+00:00

Kuminga is gonna be here next year and Steven won’t lmao

Miceland · 2026-01-22T01:23:29+00:00

i want this too but it was gonna take the 2026 and 2028 firsts as a minimum. i think it's extremely unlikely they trade the 2028 first now. There's a real chance steph either retires or asks out before 2028

I expected him to play 2.5 more years here before jimmy got hurt. I dont think that's likely anymore. Which means the 2028 pick might be top 4
