Simmons on that no look pass. Holy shit. lmao.

 

[Mecca]

I have no clue. I didn't watch any preseason games.

He had one good offensive game.

He had a few nice defensive games.

The kid is improving, it's only the first game.

Yep. Can’t wait for that. I hope it’s nationally televised because that will be great TV.

 

[Bolts]

Better than nothing I guess

 

[Bolts]

Ummmm...don't do it, friend....lol

I don't care about vcash especially only betting 350, worth it for the chance to give him an avatar during round 1.

 

[Mecca]

You talking about Rozier? That’s who blocked him right?

Yup.

Celtics won't pay Kyrie, Terry and Smart.

 

[DJ]

Should have taken the under....bowed into peer pressure and took the over.

@Mecca

This is the maddening part about the whole McCaw saga. The Warriors would LOVE for him to thrive with them this year. They were looking for him to take over Iguodala's role, who Iguodala has already mentioned before he was grooming him to take his spot.

If McCaw became a lockdown defender and versatile wing, that makes Iguodala very tradeable. He'll be an expiring contract, a vet with championship experience who could help a Brooklyn or Sacramento immediately.

If say McCaw had a strong season and showed he could be a contributor they could give him a 3 year 18-20M deal, which would be a good value for both. Then you, non guarantee Livingston and trade Iguodala into open cap space. Now if KD bolts, guess who has 20M a year they could give to Boogie?

The Warriors would then be able to lock up Klay on a max with bird rights. Then could do the same the following year with Draymond and have 4 all-stars locked up with solid backups.

McCaw honestly fucked himself over on this one and potentially the Warriors. So he should be @WiggyRuss new favorite player by those accounts, lol.

he did the Warriors a huge favor- its like they have a bonus roster spot

Stop shooting Kyrie

You're an evil, evil man.

True, I'm just impatient because of what we gave up to get him, and how some of the players behind him seem to be way ahead of him.

 

[The Derski]

Yup.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Rozier in a Suns uniform. Right now we need a PG bad. To think at one point we used to have Dragic, Thomas, and Bledsoe on the same team and now we have nothing. We traded Brandon Knight in the offseason too. At least we picked up Jamal Crawford. I hope he teaches Booker some of his moves.

 

[ericd7633]

Shooting 16% from 3 isn't gonna get it done.

 

[msgkings322]

Taking OKC +12.5. No Russ, but Draymond will be on a pitch count.

And no Livingston, and the Ws usually have a rough game first home game (got killed by Spurs in 2016, lost by 1 to Houston last year)

Good bet

 

[DJ]

Yeah, ridiculous....

Kobe was nowhere near as good his first Season.

True but a couple of things....

Kobe came off the bench and came straight into the League out of HS. Tatum had a year of college seasoning.

 

[msgkings322]

Yep.

Thanks for this.

In have been racking my brain trying to figure out what is going thru this kids head.

He is clearly getting some Shit advice.

I remember us discussing him briefly around the draft and we saw him as Iggy's possible replacement.

What a fucking dope.

He shoulda listened to @WiggyRuss. Once he knew he sucked he'd have signed.

he shouldve jumped on any, and i mean ANY team giving him the opp to be an NBA player.

I mean hes no Cedi.

Both Philly and Boston are top defensive teams... add in opening night rust and jitters...

... the poor shooting and abundance of turnovers are predictable.
