Game Thread: Curry and Poole vs. DLo and Anthony Edwards (maybe)

dubnationhq.com

The Golden State Warriors have been having a tough time lately, but there’s nothing like a classic battle of the backcourts to awaken the slumbering dragon — I’m not sure if those words all go together, but you get the point. It looks like coach Steve Kerr will be starting Moses Moody again, as the team continues to prioritize developing Jordan Poole as an energy reserve.

Moses Moody will start again tonight. Steve Kerr said it’s to have more size in the starting lineup and his preference to keep Jordan Poole in that sixth man role. He said he should’ve played Poole more in the first half the other night.

Nemanja Bjelica has been added to the usual cast of characters. There’s nothing much out there on this, just that Bjelica’s name showed up on the injury report as “questionable.”

The more interesting update is that the Minnesota Timberwolves have added exciting guard Anthony Edwards to their injury list too, citing a pesky class of injury (tendinopathy) that has been at the core of Kawhi Leonard’s absences. Jarred Vanderbilt was listed as questionable earlier, but has been deemed “in” for tonight just prior to tipoff.

Chris Finch said the Wolves continue to consider resting Anthony Edwards and his lingering sore knee. After it’s now acted up again, Finch said, “everything is on the table”. Finch also pointed out that this injury could hang around all year due to it being a form of tendinitis.

Here's some good news. We all know the salary cap crunch will start to heat up next year with Poole & Wiggs needing attention. I always felt the Pick coming in with Wiggs would end up being his replacement, and by the trade deadline next year, I could see JFK in his place. Just spit balling here.

Curry-Klay-JFK-Dray-Wiseman

Poole (extends), Moody

This is just the old core and the new core.

What is really interesting is what Wiggins could get on the market in return. Maybe a high end rotation piece and a late lottery pick. I would certainly leave that up to Bob. My point is, Wiggins may not only net Kuminga coming in, he may net another foundational piece going out. The Warriors have a lot of player value, but next year it's likely they will need to shuffle the deck, convert that Wiggs value into another position/skill set.

Durant becomes Russell becomes Wiggins and Kuminga, becomes Kuminga & WHO???

Stay tuned.
