Top players:

1: Looney

2: Paschall

3: Russell

HM: Poole

Given that second year of Dre's extension is team option and he has sat out more than half this season and probably will sit out more games, what are the chances Dubs trade for him next season?

I guess it would depend on what SF market looks like next year, how spry he looks like in POs this season and if Dubs have something worth giving to Miami (unless Andre forces Miami's hands just like this year).

Geezus.

DLo: 0/8 threes

Lee: 1/7

Paschall: 2/5

Chriss: 1/4

Bench unit: 0/10

Can't make 3s and can't get to the rim.

Yikes

these are the times I start to consider 30-point rules: if two teams are 30+ points apart after 3 quarters, coaches limited to using their rookies first in the 4th, followed by 2d yr, 3rd yr etc., to field a team. :-)

Expand full comment

Both, Burks GRIII sit,Dubs 30-something points down. Looks like we are going for a lock on that 30th lottery pick-around 16% is it?

Expand full comment

14% And sadly, in a draft bereft of a Georgios Pappagianis type of talent

Expand full comment

Well, he was 19 when drafted; 20, when he came back to Greece after a stint in Sacramento where they were collecting centers and got little development. Now, 22, he is starting to show, particularly on the National Team.

7'3" with 7'6" w-span...all he needs is a bit of TLC/development....

I kinda like this deal for Memphis. Got a first with Andre, then offloaded him for Winslow. They kept their first and got younger in the process (although Winslow is injury prone).

I think both Andre and the Grizzlies come out as winners here. But the salaries still don't match up (Andre's $17 million vs. Winslow's $13 million), so there have to be more pieces involved that we don't know of yet.

Grizzlies core:

Ja Morant, 20

Jaren Jackson Jr., 20

Brandon Clarke, 23

Justise Winslow, 23

Dillon Brooks, 24

De'Anthony Melton, 21

Tyus Jones, 23

Incredible job by the Grizzlies front office.

Isn't matching allowed up to 125% +$100K?

Per Bobby Marks @BobbyMarks42

"Contract for Justise Winslow is $13M per year over 3 seasons with a team option in 2021/22. Heat still have to send out close to $4.2M in salary. This deal will certainly expand into more players/salary."

Ah. Thanks.

I wonder in retrospect if we keep Andre and then ship him out mid-season for Waiters Island and James Johnson and a young player and or draft pick plus get to keep our 24 pick, if this isn't a wash with the deals involving Russell currently being discussed.

Granted we probably won't see a final iteration until the off-season so there's a good opportunity we met positive value come out BUT with Iggy off the table next year something tells me 2021-2022 is the year the Warriors are setting themselves up to go back all in.

There was no way the Warriors would've kept Andre and did the sign-and-trade for D-Lo. Either one or the other. Sign-and-trades place a hard cap, so they needed to offload a big contract to make it possible.

Expand full comment

Minor pedantic correction (I lost a bet on that): Sign-and-trades place a hard cap "on receiving team".

Expand full comment

That's not what I was referring to though. I'm saying Never getting DLo do we get more value long term in just keeping and trading Iguodala?

Expand full comment

Warriors would've lost KD for nothing in return. Personally, I prefer getting a young All-Star in return for KD rather than the possibility of keeping Andre, then using him as a trade piece for role players and/or picks. That's just me, though.

Expand full comment

Oh, right. Trade deadline is tomorrow at 12pm.

Wait, tomorrow?!

Expand full comment

Genuinely curious where both GR3 and Burks are going. GR3 makes sense in Dallas for our second round draft pick. Burks though? Maybe Philly?

Expand full comment

If both of them are gone, we are going from #30 seed to - oh wait #30 seed. It's going to get even more painful to watch. At least Steph is on the horizon.

Anyone could use them. That's why everyone assumed they'd be gone. Wing players that can shoot are in high demand

Warriors at half vs. BRK:

ORtg: 88.2

DRtg: 127.7

NetRtg: -39.5

eFG%: .360

TS%: .418

Quite simply, terrible on both ends of the floor. An abysmal 2-of-22 on 3s (9.1 percent). Allowing 49 percent shooting from the Nets. Severely outrebounded (28 for the Nets to 17 for the Dubs).

Per Woj:

Memphis has agreed to a deal to send Andre Iguodala to Miami, league source tells ESPN. Iguodala agreed to trade and has agreed to a two-year, $30M extension with Miami.

We were able to shoot well against the Cavs and the Wizards because of their poor defense. Against the Nets? Well....

14 in opponent three point % (35.4%)

2 in opponent two point % !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (49.3%)

Evans/Poole getting more minutes and taking 3s instead of Robinson and Burks is part of horrendous 3pt%

Expand full comment

Wasn't Evans strong suit coming out of college was NBA ready defense? Wasn't Poole's his outside jumper?

Expand full comment

Anyways on Evans. I said it since first game in Summer league last year. He doesn't have the NBA 3 point range. Saw it right there when he gave up a wide open 3 to move up 5 feet

Expand full comment

Spot on.

Expand full comment

So I'm an Arizona Cardinals fan (loosely now because I don't really follow the NFL any longer). Every single year I used to ask How the hell are they so unable to defend the opposing team's tight end. Like every game the other teams tight end would have a career game

Anyways that's how I feel about this Warriors team this year. How is it that game Ina ND game out they just can't defend the 3 point line. They are absolutely awful

Expand full comment

Imo, Warriors love to overhelp inside and when the off-ball rotations aren't perfect (ie, most of the time) it means they are vulnerable to kickouts and swing passes.

Even started to see some of it last year as they seemed vulnerable to giving up that weakside corner 3.

Fitz - We make every team look like #1 3pt shooting team. Nets arent an exception.

First year of me watching Dubs (or NBA), I used to hear Fitz's excuses and go - "oh! yeah, that makes sense'.

Since then every time Fitz comes up with a excuse for Dubs not performing/loosing, it makes me wanna throw remote at the TV.

Nets broadcast a complete 180

Unless at least one of Green or Paschall can be a 3pt threat, I'm not sure they will every work together on the floor at the same time.

Or at least with Pashcall at the 3. Maybe it would in a Green at the 5 smallball unit.

that's what the Dubs have said they want: Paschall at the 3

Just keep holding him out till his contract runs out?

I'm sad, I really was hoping we could keep Robinson around

He could come back as a FA next season if the price is right. If you could grab an early 2nd round pick for either one it makes more sense than seeing them walk anyway when the season is over.

my guess is that it's as much about the picks as the tax relief. Warriors love those second rounders
