He was assigned to Santa Cruz to scrimmage with their teams. He won't be playing in any games, but he's there to get some actual run during practices. I saw this video and it hyped me up a lot.


Will he be ready to go by the new year?

All reports pointing to him playing before Christmas. They're 100% going to have his comeback game at home though. This upcoming home stand would be too early for him to return, and then the Warriors go out on the road. Think his most likely comeback game will be against Sacramento on December 20th.

I’m happy for Wiggins given all the flack he’s received over the years.

I still believe the Suns are the better, deeper, more talented team. And I don’t believe a guy that hasn’t played in 2.5 years is going to magically return to his HOF self.

If I’m wrong at GS ends up winning the west, this time I really will create a thread entitled “I was wrong”.
Klay doesn't have to be HOF level to improve this already league leading team. Will your opinion change if they best Phoenix twice this week without him?

But perhaps a bit less legit than the Warriors

I don't think so at all. This is a team that went to the NBA finals last year and has started 17-3 with a 16 game win streak. There's nothing to de legitimize about them. They deserve their due. On top of that you outside of CP3 the core of the Suns is significantly younger than the Warriors. We're one of the oldest teams in the league. There's bound to be some wear and tear throughout the year. It's just about managing the team as best as they can to get into the playoffs healthy.

It's that new contract pressure, I'm sure of it. He didn't forget how to shoot. He's trying to earn his money from the home fans and pressing. On the road, everyone hates you so you can play looser.

No argument from me the Suns and Ws are the best teams in the West. Just hard to say who's better. And the Ws have reinforcements coming.

Yep very clear that this is the issue. Hopefully he is back to normal soon at home.

Only if they win the west, considering the levels to which you're hyping them.

My hype affects your judgement? Again, will your opinion change if they beat the Suns twice this week without Klay?

Yes on your hype. You're parading yourself on here like this was the Warriors of five years ago. Therefore, I'm abiding by your standards that regular season wins don't matter.

Only if they win the west. Anything short and I ain't admitting squat.

Didn't you predict that the Warriors wouldn't even make the playoffs this year?

We get it. You dislike Wiseman. It's a tired act.
I have nothing personal against him- I just dont think hes very good or has a very good feel for the game of basketball.

Maybe he turns into a solid rim running big man.

To even suggest he can be a player like Ayton someday---- a guy who at 22 years old went for 18, 14 on 69% shooting in the Western Conference Finals to get his team into the Finals seems awwwffuuuuuul suspect.


Nerleans Noel.

not DeAndre Ayton.

Wiseman played 1 season and didn't have a typical offseason leading up to that season. Acting like he can't be as good as ayton who isn't even an AS is insane
