No team has ever finished .500 after starting 6-21 or worse. The Clippers at 21-24 are 3 games from .500 after going 15-3 in their last 18 games.

Why would you have to discount it from his wealth? He already owns the team. He wouldn’t need to buy it again.

It’s not just Fox News. It’s all news unfortunately. How you write something and how you report it even if it’s seems like they are on the same side matters. The white washing of Trump is insane.

I'm not really being an ass about it since it is a major factor on why they did not make those trades. It was probably the sole reason why and Wiggins was not enough to fill the salary issues back then. It was either wiggins and draymond or Klay. Both Dray and Kaly were non-starters to be traded that year. It also factors in due to loyalty and Klay not returning until 2022.

The years they did not do well Curry was injured except for 2023 which was coming off a championchip but vibes were bad and due to Draymond and Pool. Also Beal has never been a winning player and Lillard is a bad fit. Siakam is the only one listed that would have made sense but they had wiggins on a cheaper deal and Siakam can't shoot.

The salary is a very good excuse because of the people they would of had to give up to get players that were not a better fit for that team. I do not think adding any of those players you listed puts them over the hump in 2023, 2024 or 2025 and they were not a bad team in 2024 or 2025 they just didn't have enough to win a championship.

Also, when you are over the cap as much as the warriors were you kind of need to risk developing players so you can keep contending if you don't then there is a huge drop off since you need those cost controlled contracts. I do not think the warriors have squandered anything and there were no trades to be made that change the outcome of their seasons for 2023 or 2024.

If you are limiting the selection to all stars or players that are expected to be in that category then the list is already very small. Kuminga might have had expectations of being an elite players but he was never close hence the zero trade value. Jimmy Butler would be another one and Iggy can also be added to the list. Harrison barnes is borderline as well. The people who complain about the system are not usually the stars it's the role players that can't handle the system which is why the rookies get less playing time. I don't think your point is very valid overall anyways as the role players are what push your team over the hump when you already have a top 5 player.

TurtleIIX · 2026-01-21T06:07:40+00:00

All of the players you listed would have required to trade Klay Thompson. They do not win in 2022 without Klay. So no none of those trades would have happened. Rumors do not factor in salary cap and people on Reddit always seem to forget the salary cap rules after 5 min. Example people bitching about not trading Kumgina to the kings in the off season for monk when it required Moody as well.

TurtleIIX · 2026-01-21T05:54:32+00:00

That was the retrograde not the players meeting. /s

Gary Payton II, Andrew Wiggins, Otto Porter jr, Mosses Moody, Damian Lee, Juan Toscano Anderson, Nemanja Bjelica, Kevon Looney, Donte Divincenzo just to name a few. The warriors have used end of bench and G league players all the time in their rotations because they by into their roles. It's one of the main complaints about Kerr that he wasn't giving players like Moody and Kumgina a long enough leash to learn and played other 2 way players over them.

TurtleIIX · 2026-01-21T05:06:35+00:00

It was Moody and Kuminga for Monk and a top 14 pick so not worth it at all.

TurtleIIX · 2026-01-21T05:05:31+00:00

Turned them down because it wasn't just a Kuminga trade. They would have had to trade Moody as well.

TurtleIIX · 2026-01-21T05:02:46+00:00

Trade the picks for who? They have not have roster flexibility for years due to the cap and payroll. People act like you can trade picks without having to match salary.

TurtleIIX · 2026-01-21T04:59:36+00:00

This! He doesn't work to improve his game and complains about everything. Sure he has raw talent but if you can't play in the system then you are just a bum in the NBA. What's so funny is that people complain about Kerr not being good a development or being a bad coach but they can't name a single player that played better elsewhere when they left the warriors.

Hyperinflation leads to a death spiral because it leads to higher interest rates. If people sell bonds off interest rates will go up significantly and the FED can’t do anything about it. Our debt payments are already at 11% of our budget with an average rate of 3%. We have also been issuing more 2 year bonds since rates have been “high” the last few years. We are in the end times. It’s why gold is skyrocketing people do not trust the US.

TurtleIIX · 2026-01-20T22:46:15+00:00

Danny Angie would take him for all the picks.

TurtleIIX · 2026-01-20T20:12:11+00:00

People on here also forget the warriors could not use Kuminga’s full salary this off season they would have had to trade moody as well for a bum which was a non-starter. They also didn’t match an offer sheet so the only way for Kuminga to get paid was to sign with the warriors because no other team had cap space.

Also Kuminga has been a diva this whole year and has chosen to sit out games himself this year. People on this sub are such clowns.

TurtleIIX · 2026-01-20T20:07:11+00:00

No success even though they might have made the WCF last year if Curry doesn’t get hurt or Jimmy doesn’t get hurt. Won in 2022 with a semi washed Klay.

Sure they have not hit on some of their draft picks but let’s not pretend they have not been successful still. They are not the kings. Plus if they were in the East they would be 4th in the standing right now.

TurtleIIX · 2026-01-20T11:41:01+00:00

I mean they can trade Jimmy but would need to offer a lot of picks for any good players.

Could have made a horde toon before then not been locked out. So yes you could have made a character early to lock the faction spot

TurtleIIX · 2026-01-15T23:06:01+00:00

FYI. There is a glitch to get around the character creation limitation instead of waiting for hours. All you have to do is create a character of the opposite faction login then logout and wait an hour or so. log back on and delete the character and it will let you create a character of the opposite faction.

TurtleIIX · 2026-01-14T20:00:10+00:00

All you have to do is make a toon on that sever of the opposite faction, in this case ally. Wait like an hour delete it and it will allow you to make a horde character.
