This is where you all have been hiding!

I had gotten the notice about the switch of URL and tried to enter it into my RSS aggregator (yes, some of us still do that -- I think it's me and 4 other people...), but at the time, it the URL still resolved to letsgowarriors.com. Glad to have finally located the community.

People disagreed with me for saying I was rooting for the Clippers but after some of those CP3 antics in this game I'm betting some Warriors fans were triggered enough into rooting for the Clippers.

Very fun team, honestly.

The front office really fucked up this year, we could easily be playing the suns or clippers right now in the wcf, with that being said, I hope they don't over compensate by trading wiseman and the #7 for a marginal improvement.

I don't see someone taking moody before 7 and I feel like he can come in and help right away with shooting, rebounding, defense and off ball movement, that plus a potential deadly center that's only 20 should not be moved unless it really takes us over the top

Keep Siakam (doesn't shoot, not enough of an improvement over Wiggins to merit #7 and Wiseman), give us OG for Wiseman + filler.

I'm warming to the idea of a trade with Toronto if and only if it includes Boucher. Here is a very informed take on his season:

It's about to be a wild offseason.

So now I’m reading that we are dangling the #7 and Wiseman to upgrade the squad. But how would we do that without giving up a contract but what are they actually thinking? Please don’t do that for Simmons

I’m hoping the Warriors can pull off a three team sign and trade with Oubre going to the team of his choice, and the Warriors able to use that salary towards a Simmons trade.

I'm curious how many here would do Wiggins, Wiseman, #7, #14, and future firsts for Lillard? I've been all on board with trading for a superstar, but this one is really tough. The fit isn't perfect, but with that much firepower you can usually make the rest work. Does this team beat a fully healthy Brooklyn?

Steph , Dame and Klay might break the NBA record for 3pters by themselves

From Shams:

Memphis coach Penny Hardaway interviewed for the Orlando Magic head coaching job and has emerged as a serious candidate, sources tell

@TheAthletic @Stadium.

For context, Penny Hardaway has been mentoring Wiseman pretty much his entire life. Orlando has Wendell Carter and Mo Bamba at the center position.

Hmmmm....

Atlanta putting Okongwu on Giannis shows how much faith they have in him.

Damian "Loyalty is my only flaw" Lillard might be requesting a trade. Lol.

Apricot: how do you manage to go back and find comments? Do you literally scan through everything (while clicking "Load More" 1000 times)? Or is there some sort of "sort by <3" feature?
