I am proposing the ultimate "Be careful What You Wish for" Mega-team mega-trade. Steph-Klay-Dray-Wiggs-Moody-J Dub-Kuminga & Poole all going out. Coming in: Lillard, Beale, LaMelo Ball, Simmons, and pick up Marc Gasol, Aldridge, Millsap, Patty Mills & Nic Batum with midlevels and minimums. We get everyone we have had to suffer through trade rumors and FA pick ups for the last year and a half. We get everyone that everyone has been crying for that would obviously help make us a Championship team. If they are all so great, wouldn't they be a Championship team on their own? Hell, I'm sold. Heading to Trade Checker now. If I'm not back in 3 days, someone call 911. LOL
I was hoping there would have been some videos of D.Lee selling fouls. I forget if it was Fitz or Buke, but I remember one of them commenting D.Lee looks like he gets electrocuted when he takes a small slap on the wrist.
Man I dis Ront Artest yesterday, and today theguardian has a piece about how he has become a mental health.advocate especially for young people. The NBA doesn't seem to be nearly as good as the NFL in producing bad apples, but I suppose the greatly fewer episodes of head trauma might have something to do with that.
I definitely felt like Lee's COVID case was one of the strokes of bad luck that stopped us from getting into the postseason proper. Heck, with how close the play-in games were, he could have tipped either game the other way with his steady, gritty, veteran plays. (Just having another guy who knows what he's doing so the core guys could get another few minutes per game of rest down the stretch would have been nice.)
And, sure, Damion's a shooter first and foremost, but he also adds a lot of awesome extra sauce. How many times do you remember hearing Fitz call out, "Lee is in the middle of everything good right now!" as he snatches contested rebounds or draws a charge that stops an opponent's transition opportunity flat? Sneakily, steadily as his career has gone on, he's had more and more of those games where the other team was just NOT READY for Lee to tear them apart.
Plus, I love that he has the guts to take (and make!) the game-winner with the seconds counting down, even when Stephen friggin' Curry is on the court just a few feet away.
His COVID case sounded pretty bad, so I'm hoping 🤞 that there are no lingering effects on his stamina/wind since that's not unheard of even in otherwise healthy people. Besides that? I'm not worried about this guy's play. He can keep doing the stuff he does and that'll be plenty.
Sure, he has his cold streaks and his limitations, but Damion Lee continues to be a fantastic guy to have in the rotation and will likely add a few of his own buckets to the Dubs' next championship.
Having Damion Lee is the reason losing Bazemore didn’t bother me in the least. I prefer his steady and improving play, his ability to makes 3’s in places besides the corners and his lack of recklessness.
Easy choice; one left for more playing time for himself and the other has taken it upon himself to mentor Moody.
I love d lee and feel hes super underappreciated by the fanbase n coaching staff, he could have easily taken mulder's minutes last season. Hes a good defender, good rebounder, plays his heart and makes the right play more times then not
Good work! Having D. Lee as the near the end of the bench depth means your team is in good shape. I expect him to eat up a lot of early game minutes this year and hopefully flop less. There's a fine line between selling the call and flopping like a Harden Fish on land.

Are any of the Warriors players not vaccinated yet?
Is the sudden Warriors news that a Draymond for Simmons trade might be possible a clap back by the FO to Draymond’s KD conversation?
Isn't Ben Simmons with "Klutch" Sports Group? Isn't that a little off-brand.
Kevin Pelton gave the Warriors an A- for the off-season: https://warriorswire.usatoday.com/2021/08/31/warriors-earn-high-grade-in-espns-offseason-report-card/
SMH, I guess Hardee got to him too ;)

Wow. They know stats for players before the season even starts?

That graphic is straight fire!
