Giannis would look great in a dubs jersey but it would break my little dubs heart if we had to trade Klay . If management isn’t sold on Wismen , or Anthony Edwards . Maybe we can trade down to a team who does and take that teams draft pick next year to bundle . Anybody check out this Obi Toppin kid? Shooting lights out from the three 6’9 great NBA build under athletic looks like he could contribute right in for the bat . With Him Paschall, Marquises I think we have a VERY athletic team which has been lacking
They don't need to trade klay. I'll rather have klay than Giannis. It's not like we haven't won a championship in 50 yrs or something. I believe if the right pieces are built around Steph and klay we can make a push. Giannis or not ..
Package Wiggins the 2 first next year (The double draft 18 year olds will be elegible) And two 2nds And Add giannis that’s a Super Super athlete team with the all time best shooting back court . I think we need to build next years warriors much like the bucks built there team during the warriors run ,Super athletic who can run the court , size , strength, and length to cover for Curry
In other news, I have a new version (v6) of the LGW bookmarklet out. I added buttons at the bottom for mobile device navigation -- but I haven't tested this on actual mobile devices yet.
Possibly, but I think it's the line, and the specific years he was here. Everybody in that 2015 Championship is going to get serious love, even over guys like J-Rich who were here longer and were the lone ray of light (okay...almost) for a season or two.
I voted for 'em both, but I'm a homer and proud of it.
Here's the one scenario I can see for the Warriors to get Giannis. The Warriors would trade Wiggins plus one of the picks for Ben Simmons, and then turn around and trade Simmons plus the other pick for Giannis.
Would the 76ers go for it? What they need is a point guard who can shoot, so maybe they'd have been more likely to trade for Dlo than for Wiggins. But it's clear Simmons+Embiid is not an ideal pairing.
Would the Bucks go for it? Surprisingly, I think they just might. If Giannis is going to leave anyway, Ben Simmons is about the closest replacement they could get. His skill set is similar to Giannis from a few years ago.
Now, this scenario is only plausible if both the 76ers and the Bucks falter in the playoffs. The 76ers would have to lose in the 1st round (or maybe reach the 2nd and get swept) and the Bucks would have to fall short of the finals, and as a result both Simmons and Giannis ask to move. I'm going to be holding my nose and rooting for the Celtics.
I mean, if Giannis is going to leave anyway...then Wiggins plus both those picks (plus, I'm sure, somebody like EP) seems more likely; I don't think we'd need that dance that particular "I'm Taking Your Superstar" dance with two teams. I don't think we could.
But I do daydream about their first game together, seeing Giannis smash some block right into Dray's waiting hands, Dray running the break with Steph and Klay causing defensive panic off-ball and Giannis swooping up to catch some ridiculous lob and slam the ball down so hard the rest of the League just quits and gives us the Larry O'Brien trophy right then and there...or having some stupidly amazing season where Giannis and Steph are the top two scorers (with Steph edging him out by like .2, .3 PPG).
...basically, all the sort of juvenile daydreams that used to idle through my mind and that I learned to block out have come rushing back in at the thought of such a talent coming to GS.
Sure, that's very likely for financial reasons, but since I'm fantasizing about Giannis coming anyway, I'm imagining a way (Giannis gets 3pt shot like KD or Dray works his back up to 33+%...whatever) that ownership will decide they can afford to keep the OG core and have the new hotness, too.
Besides, I can think of reasons we'd do well to keep Dray even if we had Giannis. KD is an amazing ball-handler and a much better passer than Giannis is right now...and of course, the whole 'not enough ball to go around' stuff about Klay, KD, and Steph. Anyway, that's just the offensive end.

The Brazilian Blur! Ros was like 'whoa, wuuuut?! you heard here first, folks!!'
Much luv to J-Rich, heart of a Warrior.
I'm on board for Giannis--he's Freaky-Deaky! ;P
Wow Barbosa gets more love than J-Rich...must've been relatively new fans in the polls.

If Giannis comes dray will be traded. They do The same thing. Giannis is a taller ball handler. They'll have to trade draymond

Exactly. It’s weird how Giannis is categorized as a small forward when he is CLEARLY a power forward Khris Middleton is the small forward.
