Skrrrrrrr: You can't ignore the fact that he's already in his 30s ,he will never be the same again. Even curry and draymond has slowed down a bit. These guys need to take a paycut during the next phase of contract renewal or be traded. Asat today, it would be an herculean task to keep Looney, Wiggins, and Jordan Poole three key pieces for the future. And you also have to factor that wiseman is due for a contract extension which isn't cheap for a top two pick. GP 2 also needs to get paid next season see wahala So the warriors definitely has to trade some players or lose them for nothing. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Skrrrrrrr: 8:48am On May 21, 2022 |
etidy: So the players that have brought them thus far should be traded for Wiggins who is basically the fourth option, Looney who is inconsistent and incapable of logging heavr minutes, and Poole who is just showing promise? Is that your plan. Were you not the guy that said curry should be traded the other day, why am I even replying you? |
Re: The NBA Begins by etidy: 9:01am On May 21, 2022 |
Skrrrrrrr:Maybe you should read chats and check names when commenting. I have never said curry should be traded, maybe someone else said that. But as things stand, either klay, draymond, Wiggins and Poole has to be traded. Poole is just 22yrs, in his third year in the league and rapidly improving. Losing him will be tantamount to okc losing James harden, that will be a big mistake. Wiggins play a role where very few players in the league can fill, he's also the warriors best perimeter defended, has no ego and has age on his side, so he's probably worth keeping. |

Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 9:49am On May 21, 2022 |
Missed opportunity by the Mavs mehn. Don't know if they recover. They had to win that after such a start |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 10:06am On May 21, 2022 |
Roland17:It's part of what I'm talking about. Guys with no ability to put the ball on the floor, cannot slash. Just spammin 3s. Even if you're not a star you mean all you can do is spam 3s. Unfortunately this is just a matchup nightmare already in the sense that what the Mavs do well the Warriors do even better. Worse still they have guys like Wiggins and Poole who can slash to counter a bad shooting night. Then how do you now explain Kevon Looney scoring 21 points in the paint |

RIP MAMBA Just finished watching his last game, mehn what a performance vs the utah jazz....Kobe was on fire in that game mehn Thats one of the best individual performance i"ve ever seen in any sport.. literally in tears 2 Likes |

Tinneh: Didn't he attempt like 50 shots in that game? |
Re: The NBA Begins by Khanben: 10:10pm On May 21, 2022 |
etidy: Wiggins is overpaid for the role he's playing. The use is on a Max contract and is basically a 3nD guy on the team, so if they are looking to move off someone to reduce their wage bill it will probably be him 1 Like |
Re: The NBA Begins by Khanben: 10:20pm On May 21, 2022 |
steady986: Something his fans will never remember. Don't get me wrong, Kobe is an all time great, in my top 10 all time in fact, but I actually watched the guy and maybe it was because I was more of a fan of the Spurs way of playing basketball, that I am able to put his greatness in perspective. As an aside, just finished rewatching game 4 of 1999 Spurs vs Lakers playoffs, and I just remembered how ineffective Kobe was in that series. I say this, just because I will always be a believer in giving young guys time to figure it out, all because I have seen other greats also take time before they got to the top of the mountain. PS: The next season the Shaq & Kobe 3peat domination of the league started. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Khanben: 10:24pm On May 21, 2022 |
etidy: When Klay gets back to full speed, Wiggins will basically be the warriors version of Dorian Finley Smith with maybe better handles and lesser defensive ability and versatility. DFS is on a 4yrs/55mil contract recently inked while Wiggins is on a max deal. So they can definitely replace what he does at a more cheaper price. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Khanben: 10:26pm On May 21, 2022 |
The Celtics have 6 players who received votes for the nbas all-defense. A testament to how good they are on the defensive side of the ball |
Re: The NBA Begins by Tinneh: 11:12pm On May 21, 2022 |
steady986:YEAH think it was about 22/50 i guess...at a point all his teamates did was just give him the ball and watch |
Re: The NBA Begins by etidy: 12:32am On May 22, 2022 |
Khanben:Klay will be 33 years next early next year, players at this age don't just get back to full speed after 2 major career threatening injuries back to back. The Old klay is gone, although he can still be a meaningful contributor. 1 Like |
Re: The NBA Begins by Khanben: 1:56am On May 22, 2022 |
etidy: The old Klay is the one that scores 30+pts and takes just 7 dribbles, guys like that age very well 1 Like |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 1:57am On May 22, 2022 |
Celtics are getting the breaks beat off of them. What a terrible start |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 2:02am On May 22, 2022 |
Bucks really missed PJ Tucker mehn. What was their idea behind letting him walk and replacing him with who? Fvxkin Grayson Allen |
Re: The NBA Begins by Khanben: 2:05am On May 22, 2022 |
A40: Ownership were trying to be cheap, no 2 ways about it |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 2:06am On May 22, 2022 |
This thing Marcus Smart is playing I don't know what it is but it's not basketball |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 2:10am On May 22, 2022 |
Khanben:Classic case of pennywise pound foolish. Cos they signed Grayson for 2 year 20million |
Re: The NBA Begins by benji93: 2:15am On May 22, 2022 |
I don't understand why in a 2 on 1, you go for a 3-point shot, argues one, after Herro bricks a 3. Good point. He certainly forgot the era. But well Herro is a knockdown 3-point shooter, argues another(maybe Mark Jackson here) |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 2:17am On May 22, 2022 |
This is disgraceful from Boston. I can't even see what they are playing. Just doing cardio on the court. All over the place |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:24am On May 22, 2022 |
PUT SOME FREAKING EFFORT GUYS! WHAT THE HELL!!! |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 2:31am On May 22, 2022 |
Celtics missing too many free throws. You can't aid home cooking if you can't make free throws |
Re: The NBA Begins by Android22: 2:32am On May 22, 2022 |
etidy:Relax. Poole is getting a 100M 4 year extension on his rookie contract. Looney is getting 6M a year from next season. Klay will come back to close to his best, yes he is going to be 33 but he lost 2 years of basketball which has extended his playing years. The treatments and medicine/diet regime is better these days as you can see players like Lebron and CP3 play comfortably and at the top even at 33. Klay at 33 in basketball mileage will actually be 30. He only needs to play within the team, be patient and allow the game to come to him. Sometimes he forces bad shots and just does not read the game well. Nobody is trading Curry. He has been inefficient by his unbelievably high standards but even at that his shooting % is still better than Luka's. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 2:33am On May 22, 2022 |
All the 3s wey Tatum for make this series he don make am the last game Adebayo. Barbecue chicken |
Re: The NBA Begins by Khanben: 2:43am On May 22, 2022 |
A40: He just played the last year of his rookie deal at 4mil plus the 2yr/18mil they signed him on is a 3yr/22mil deal, which is nearly the same yearly average as what Tucker signed with the Heat at 2yr/14.4 mil. But I think the main reason was they did not want to pay the luxury tax this season, which was stupid because of them being defending Champs. The idea that ownership is unwilling to pay the luxury tax for a championship team is just aka-gum and cheap |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 2:43am On May 22, 2022 |
Decent run by Boston to close the half. They just gave themselves a puncher's chance |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:45am On May 22, 2022 |
I swear y’all intentionally do this to me |
Re: The NBA Begins by Khanben: 2:59am On May 22, 2022 |
Butler out for the second half. Celtics have a huge chance hear |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:01am On May 22, 2022 |
Butler out. Be like Smart sef don break something. What a series man |
Re: The NBA Begins by Khanben: 3:02am On May 22, 2022 |
A40: Assinn, the level of swings no be small |
