not only that but I dont think Wiseman ever gets to the point where he takes advantage of his athleticism. bigs do take longer to develop though. who knows. we shall see. he doesnt seem to have a good feel for the game.

Does Jarrett Allen have a good feel for the game? LOL.

its not hard to figure out that you wildly overate Green and that the Warriors big men are severely below average as a group.

id take Okoro over Wiseman as well

i get drafting Wiseman- he has amazing athleticism- and the Warriors had a huge hole in the front court and the draft wasnt that great at the top- but they will regret not drafting Ball.
We've been posting here a long time and your knowledge of basketball is often lacking. You don't see things objectively.

do you think anyone on Memphis beside Morant is right now a better player than Wiggins or Green? JJJ will be better than Green soon- we know that.

but right now?
Jaren Jackson is a slack ass though.

Incredible talent, very little fire.

Tillman could be a Draymond type. Not the ball handler, but he’s physical and an absolute workhorse.

Memphis is stupid young. Will be fun to watch them mature.

I’m curious on this situation.
If the clippers choke, again, does kawhi make himself available? The warriors could give them quite a bit, and that would be better then him opting out and lac getting nothing.

Think like the Chris Paul to Houston situation,

because golden state can’t do a sign and trade since they’re already going to be over the hard cap.

Wiseman + Minny pick (after the draft so the salary can count) + contracts would be fair.

Probably would have to include Wiggins to get that done.

Also though, I kind of doubt Kawhi would choose GS. Somewhere like Miami would be more likely, IMO.

You called it. Ws should offer Curry and the Minnesota pick for Morant.

Jared Dudley for Curry. Best offer you're going to get. Better take it while Lebron's feeling generous.

Wait too long and you'll have to throw in the Minny pick.

Can Miami afford him now?

but I guess that makes sense. He’s never won as the guy.

he may still want that. Or since the warriors are down, now it’s ok to go there since he’d be the missing piece?

I don’t know.

Just a guess, but it is mostly about him wanting to be in control. While he could fit very well in GS offense, I get the sense that he doesn’t want to.

Maybe that has changed over the last 2 years.

It'll be interesting. During his FA, he seemed like he was pretty much hellbent on getting back to LA. Maybe he lets the Clippers blow it up around him or see if they can move PG for someone who can be a #1 or at least be the leader?

I don't see him going to the Lakers, even if they could clear the cap space.

The way the Warriors play would be perfect for him. But, if he hasn't figured out he's not a leader, then yeah, you may be right about him not being interested.

Eliminated by Memphis

I may have overstated Step Currys 1A status

Butler and Leonard co-exist?

As a FA or a trade?

That would be an ideal pairing IMO.

Just as long as Kawhi is willing to lead Butler be the vocal leader while he occupies the lead role in the court.

Kind of like Lowry/Kawhi in Toronto. But obviously Butler is better.

Kawhi has a skill set that can fit anywhere.

Yeah, thinking more.....it really would.

Not sure what the Clippers would get in a sign and trade.

Most superstars can do it alone
Like Magic? Like Patrick? Like Larry? Like Wilt? Like Kareem? Heck, even Michael needed a team around him.

I would be interested in hearing your list of superstars who have done it alone. I legit can’t think of a single example.

Find a superstar that gets guarded the way Curry does all game long and has done it alone. I'll wait.
