What is an acceptable trade for Durant. The nets are not going get the offers they want because it would gut any contender. I really do think the warriors going trade for him. It is just one of the few teams that have assets and won’t be gutted. It would have to be a 3rd team involved but I’d be willing give up wiggins wiseman moody and picks.there is definitely a money problem we can’t pay everyone. So we going have to unload some of our guys or lose them for nothing. Selling high on wiggins now is smart. A 3rd team may give up a lot to make the nets happy

Kuminga has already proven he can play in the system and do fine, any questions about his BBIQ are ridiculous. Only parts of his game he needs to work on to play for us is his offball defense and shooting.

Dude put up a positive plus minus in a whole month when he got extended minutes with dray out and the team was struggling, he doesnt have to prove anything in summer league

Right now he is much more zion then kawhi, we just hope one day he has the potential to be a kawhi like perimeter player

Did his knee hold up with no setbacks. If the answer is yes after tonight, then I’d say Wiseman had a really successful game.

One bad note to McClung, next time keep your poise and never ever stop and argue with the officials. Do run and argue.

Ok, silver linings:

- Kuminga is officially the ‘4th quarter Lion’. When he roars, everyone starts clawing in defense

- JW put up a ferocious fight and was VERY upset for the defeat

- to TRY a -20 comeback is the Warriors stigma

- MM knows how to fall without hurting himself

Loved Weatherspoon's game. Liked Santos' game but he's wild, needs a few seasons in the G-League to iron out his game probably. Liked Moody's approach but he needs to hit his threes and use his left. Didn't like Kuminga's approach but the athleticism is astounding and he took over in crunch time.

All in all, very encouraging game from Wise. Solid force defensively, worked on the boards. That’s all you really need to make him playable. Still needs to work on the screen and the roll…

Moody similarly, is a calming steady connector player who can chip in points and play solid defense. (For the sake of this paragraph, please ignore the two cowabunga dunk attempts thx)

Kuminga, I’m not sure I learned anything. Exciting alpha player, not much more to prove as a clutch scorer against Summer League defenses. So what does he do when the defenses are better and he has to play in the Warriors team context?

I kinda wonder if these guys just too hyped up about finally having a chance to play together.

I get wanting to see Moody and Kuminga sit, but I’d also like to see them get a second shot at playing together because there was a lot of good in the second half that you’d like to see over a full game.

If Wiseman can just protect the rim and keep crashing the oboards while not fading on his jumpers, I’d be happy.

OK well somehow we just lost game 1 to Boston but let's not lose faith. Boston hit in my opinion way more threes than expected and will regress to the mean. I'm calling GSW in 6.

when moody adds a left hand to his bag his life will get a bit easier in the paint

Gonna act like that wasn't a foul?

Moody really needs a left hand so he can finish with finese instead of power dunks.
