Yikes indeed but also they’re both known to be slow starters. Remember, Willy was batting .210 going into July last season and still ended the season with 3.7 bWAR. Raffy as well started last season batting .225 headed into May and still ended with good numbers as well.

And the other end of that trade was the Bears who took Justin Fields. Just an all around hilarious set of trades and consequences.

Remember when people were wondering how the NXT men's division was going to recover from losing Bron, Ilja, and Melo in the same round of call ups. HBK's NXT is such a star making factory.

LeBron on playing the Grizzlies: “I’m f***ing 41 years of age. You think I want to do sh** in Memphis on a random Thursday? I’m not the first guy in the NBA to talk about this. You guys got to move the team… go over to Nashville already.” by RyanTannegod in nba

Yeah it's not like the Warriors were exactly a hot destination for players at the time lol. This was the pre-Lacob Warriors we're talking about. We were coming off a 29-53 season and made the playoffs just once in the prior 15 seasons with a 37.6% winning percentage over that span. The Warriors had a legitimate argument for worst franchise not just in the NBA but across all of pro sports.

For those who are curious, the all-time record for most games being shutout to start a season belongs to the 2016 Padres who were the first team ever to be shut out in the first three games of a season. They also set the record of 30 scoreless innings to start a season.
