Alex Shultz of sfgate writing gibberish based on an obvious truth spoke by Myers that in the long run everybody is tradeable. This is supposed to be making us fans irate.
Looking at the B/R FA big board - they have Drummond listed at #30. We could be a sneaking contender for his services on a 1 year vet min. He rebounds, sets screens and can defend the paint. That’s all we need.
Anybody know of a good lowlights compilation for Wiseman, i.e. video analysis of areas for him to improve on? His highlights are so tantalizing. I've been wondering how much his weaknesses can be mitigated/addressed in one season.
Ok, now it's time to put old trades in perspective. Russell for Wiggins and MIN top 3 protected 1st round pick that conveyed this year in the form of one Jonathon Kuminga. We all know Wiggs' contract was a bad one, but it served 2 critical roles.
A. it maintained the 4th Superstar salary slot, whether or not it would be occupied by an improving Wiggs or used in a future trade scenario &
B. it's the price that the Warriors had to pay to secure another lottery pick after their 7 year draft drought (2013-2019).
A definitive "How do you like me now?" moment for Bob & Co.
I love Meyers, but this was probably the easiest draft he has ever run. The NBA (all teams other than GSW) literally made these picks for him. "The Oklahoma City Thunder select ..." And the Warrior's 7th pick was in before Adam Silver said, " .... Giddey." I suspect Moody was 2 or 3 on their board after the top tier was cleared and I suspect they did not believe he would fall to 14. "And the Indiana Pacers select, Chris Du...." What, what what??? Again, the pick was pretty much made for the Warriors. THANKS NBA!!!!!! We couldn't be a dynasty without you!
some insight into Warriors' workout with Kuminga -- they had Atkinson work with him, and they had a nice long dinner as well. Sounds humble and a good character. Makes me more optimistic!
Watched another Moody game. This was the Sweet 16 ARK v Oral Roberts, one of Moody’s worst shooting games. Yes, he stunk it up shooting (it would have been an easy win if he’d had a merely bad shooting day), but he still made lots of contributions, particularly on D. He was the head of the snake on the Ark trapping again, until Oral specifically adjusted, so Ark had to send someone else to double. Generally good rotations, though he got beat backdoor once.
Moody got more assertive on O when Ark needed a comeback, and actually drove most of the comeback with his (rare that day) points. Some big steals on D and hustle too, with one memorable play down the stretch, stripping from behind and flying to the floor.

Draymond 8 points FG 100%
Target - Batum and Sataronsky in FA.
Other options - Gay/Mills/Baynes-if bought out/R Lopez/Howard/Carmelo

Doesn't look like Mannion's night against Nigeria
3-10 FG / 0-4 3pt / 4 reb / 1 ast / 1 stl / 15 mins with 5 minutes left to go in 4th.

Love that punishing the glass is a point of emphasis for these guys.
Indiana Pacers are in Win-Now mode, going all in so as not to waste Chris Duarte's prime years.

In one game near the end of this (presumably*) massively successful season, I’d like to see Kerr give Wiggins a night off and start a lineup of:
Steph-Lee-Klay-Draymond-Looney, and then hockey sub-in…
Poole-Moody-JTA-Kuminga-Wiseman
They could sell shirts with all 10 players with the caption “How do you like OUR process?” or holding joints with caption, “Home grown, bitches!”
Man I'm excited for kuminga, hes going to be great, hope he comes out to summer league and bullies people
