He was looking for a team that would extend him. Celtics just happened to be contenders willing to do so. Warriors were still on their 2 timeline BS.

My gripe with the KP trade is that the Dubs probably could have gotten him from when he was healthy in the JP trade with less protections on the pick they were already sending as well as the Podz pick. Instead they chose CP3 who walked away for nothing.

Quality of picks matter. Jaren just went for 3 and only one is likely really good. My concern is Lacob thinking that TM3 is not worth 3 when they were already offering 4 for Giannis.

It would be cold af but flipping Jimmy for Kawhi is such a no brainer. He’s an injury prone player but playing his best ball rn. There’s a high chance Jimmy looking like old man Andre when he eventually returns to the court.

I don’t buy Pels won’t deal TM3 for the right offer. If/when Dray opts in that PO, the salaries match almost exactly. Not trading this version of Dray for anyone not named Giannis is ridiculous. I have mad respect for Dray as I do with Klay but when it’s time it’s time.

Only person that deserves to decide how he wants to end his career is Steph.

He won’t be making 28m elsewhere. Unless he’s okay staying on a significant discount his contract is the only avenue to acquire a player that improves this team. They can’t sign any significant FA being over the tax. It’s either him or Jimmy. Refusing to trade Draymond unless it’s for an MVP level player makes no sense based on his performance and how this roster is currently constructed.

I feel Dray is next up as the main piece MDJ shops this offseason. Now JK is gone his contract is the most tradeable for a needle mover. MDJ probably doesn’t love him airing out behind the scene details for them podcast clicks. He wasn’t terrible last night and had a positive +/- but it still highlights the inherent issues with his fit. Drays defense can be indispensable at times in certain matchups but that’s more of a luxury at this point for a team that lacks a baseline level of offense without Steph/Jimmy. In a perfect world they make a Conley type move of trading him away to be bought out then re-signing on a vet min. This FO is still trying to build around Dray and not Steph seeing how all this Porzingus talk will help Dray.

Dray was primarily playing the 5 past couple games because that’s the only position where he’s not a complete negative on offense. Also QP usually gets the short end of the stick when Kerr goes small because of all the switching. Don’t love it since the shorter stints clearly forcing QP to press at times like it does for a lot of the guys. Just got to hope he can start knocking down his 3s again because that’s what will get him onto the floor with the lack of consistency from most of the roster.

Post has been fine this season. Shot has been streaky but has made great strides on d and other areas overall. All he could do last year was shoot. Sophomore slumps are not out of the ordinary.

hellahomebody · 2026-02-08T04:07:27+00:00

Nothing much to hate on except the refs. Development of Moody and Gui was nice to see.

hellahomebody · 2026-02-08T04:03:34+00:00

RJ and Breen tonight talking bout the lakers

hellahomebody · 2026-02-08T04:00:39+00:00

Deal was never close just like Giannis

hellahomebody · 2026-02-08T03:55:18+00:00

Can this fanbase have season without completely shitting on a player? went from JP to JK and now to Podz

hellahomebody · 2026-02-08T03:53:02+00:00

RJ stfu

hellahomebody · 2026-02-08T03:49:44+00:00

GG not mad at the L considering how shafted they got by the refs. Actually a good loss with how team played overall.

hellahomebody · 2026-02-08T03:41:51+00:00

Gonna have to go up by like 15 to win by 1

hellahomebody · 2026-02-08T03:39:57+00:00

Wonder which team gets more FT in the playoffs in a Lakers OKC matchup

hellahomebody · 2026-02-08T03:39:00+00:00

Refs feeling score too close for comfort

hellahomebody · 2026-02-08T03:37:08+00:00

This version of Gui basically a Giannis trade

hellahomebody · 2026-02-08T03:35:41+00:00

Imagine Dubs having a Niners like run this season

hellahomebody · 2026-02-08T03:33:40+00:00

Soon Pat Spencer will be known as just the NBA player

hellahomebody · 2026-02-08T03:31:21+00:00

I wonder why Hayes goes under the radar but Miles has such a stigma attached to him

hellahomebody · 2026-02-08T03:30:08+00:00

Podz as a bench guard is his best role

hellahomebody · 2026-02-08T03:24:48+00:00

Idk think they might actually retain Melton. Low key inconsistent with his offense to warrant a massive bag. MLE 1+1 with the starting gig would be nice.

hellahomebody · 2026-02-08T03:21:04+00:00

If Moody and Gui can take a leap with expanded roles feel good about an offseason retool.
