Saw this article the other day about the Warriors being "ready to roll" in the draft and these two paragraphs stood out:

"[Larry] Harris and father-and-son Lacobs, CEO Joe and VP of basketball operations Kirk, are in their usual roles, processing information and offering opinions. Shaun Livingston is the third former player, along with Mike Dunleavy and Zaza Pachulia, in the room delivering assessments. Steve Kerr, missing the playoffs for the first time in his coaching career, is involved."

...

“I've told my friends and people that will listen that I feel very confident about the three picks. That if we keep them, that we’ll get the right person because we've spent enough time to say, ‘OK, if we make a mistake, we've made the mistake as a group.’”

"OK, if we make a mistake, we've made the mistake as a group" said by Harris really did not sit well with me. The first paragraph confirms the Lacobs are very involved in the draft process (and Myers was not mentioned), and that last line suggests to me that these guys will ultimately defer to what Joe wants so if it's wrong they "made the mistake as a group" and everyone's jobs are safe.

Wiseman feels like a "we can't get fired if he sucks because Joe loved him" type of move. I'll hope for the best though, because this pick is crucial for how the rest of Curry's career goes.

Ok Bob Myers given the green light to use TPE. This is where Im fully confident in the FOs ability. Not drafting but this. If Klay indeed out, I'd pull the trigger immediately on Eric Gordon. Plus defender, good shooter, down year after coming back though but fits nicely into that TPE. That is a really nice placeholder and just round out the rotation behind him for the times he's out injured throughout the year

Justin Holiday for the MLE. Can play 2 or 3, doesn't need the ball in his hands, but can hit the 3. Plays pretty good D. Poor man's Klay.

Alright, so I'm gonna reel in today's news for the Warriors fans who feel like they're heads gonna explode.

- Klay's injured. This sucks. There's nothing to do about it.

- Warriors drafted Wiseman. I know that (especially among some Warriors fan groups) he's not considered to be the consensus favorite fit, but we NEED to trust in Myers. The guy knows what he's doing. Wiseman fits an immediate need and brings a type of bigman value that the Warriors haven't had in a while.

- The Warriors drafted Nico Mannion . The guy IS 6'3", and slightly one-dimensional, but overall not a terrible pick for the 48th. I'm genuinely excited about this guy and what he could bring.

- Justinian Jessup. He's kinda cool. Warriors played it smart with a DNS player, reserving spots for vets in the free agency.

This off-season thus far has not been what anyone has expected. It's been filled with twists and turns, and many deals NOT including the Warriors. As a fanbase that has recently been exposed to drastic changes in the roster (KD, Boogie, etc.) we need to recognize that making transactions is not what's going to immediately make this team better; what will is TRUSTING in what we already have and MAKING the most of it.

Justinian Jessup sounds like a twig who can shoot.

Screw this sh!+ man. This FO can go to hell. Kent Kirk Lacob Bob Myers can walk off a proverbial cliff. Rick Cerebrini needs to get fired. Joe Lacob living off the teet of Steph Klay with his smug face on first take.

So... anyone that we're hoping will fall to GSW at (ugh) #48...? I have an eye on Tyrell Terry. Maybe half an eye on Maledon, Mannion, Bane...

Whoever knows lacob should tell him to get rid of rick celebrini. Rick has a bad luck following him. Research his previous job and you'll find out they were plagued by mysterious injuries too
