2021-2022 NBA Season

[msgkings322]

Wiggins has been a very nice fit. Basically at this stage in his career he fills that Iggy role better than Iggy did.

More Harrison Barnes from 2015

 

[WiggyRuss]

That isn’t the best part.

He claims to have played minor league baseball a long time ago.

And he thinks that qualifies him as an expert on today’s NBA players and their lifestyles.

the irony of this post.

 

[The Q]

You are so wrong on him. Playing next to Steph? I thought Steph was ass this year? And why sell, he's going to help win a title....

When did I ever say Steph was ass?

I think the meanest thing I’ve ever said about curry is he he hasn’t surpassed Chris Paul as the greatest pg ever….yet.

But it’ll likely happen.

You called Wiggins was a great player since before covid was a thing.

That’s objectively false

He wasn’t even good last year.

He’s had one good half seaosn vs 1.5 seasons when I’ve been correct.

Let’s see how it plays out

Ok this is a fair comp. Barnes cratered for a while after that only to somehow be the only player ever to resurrect their career in sacto lol

Never said he was great, he is obviously good, and perfect in his role on this team. You were wrong about him. Again.

That is spot on and it was actually the exact thought I had when thinking of Wiggins role now.

[The Q]

Agreed but you don't compare Wiggins to Morant or Garland. You compare him to Ingram or Heyward

And bridges, booker, dray, Paul George, even Royce O’Neal, Porter, and cam Johnson


And he comes up short against every single one of them

 

[The Q]

Never said he was great, he is obviously good, and perfect in his role on this team. You were wrong about him. Again.

Nope. For this half season at most. But even then, his contract is ass and the reason the warriors haven’t made any major adds or used their exceptions

You said you’d take him over Ben Simmons straight up

 

[tlance]

Because I’m right

The fans sham voting doesn’t change that.

But this is easily the best year of his career

Of course it is his best year and of course he doesn’t deserve to be an all star starter.

But you continuing to double down on your “trade Wiggins” idea is absolutely ridiculous.

The Warriors would be incredibly stupid to trade him right now. Because his trade value doesn’t match up to his production for the Warriors.

 

[tlance]

Of course.

But it is an all star exhibition.

I would much prefer to see a starting lineup of:

Curry, Morant, Booker LeBron and Jokic

Does he deserve to be an all star? No. Do you trade him from golden state? Get the fvck outta here man. Dude is thriving in his role.

Yep. Not worthy of being a former #1 and overpaid. But so what, in terms of impact and talent he's a very good 3rd scoring option on a contender. And even better defender on this team.

 

[Shanemansj13]

If you trade Wiggins you are downgrading unless you find a team that absolutely loves his potential and say Wiseman's potential but even then who would give up a ton for that. Wiggins is still is on a bad contract but it doesn't matter now. So the Warriors need to make the best of the years they have Wiggins at his best, he is a great fit and helping this team in his specific role.

 

[msgkings322]

In the conversation but what about Herro? And by year end Poole will be in the mix.

 

[msgkings322]

And bridges, booker, dray, Paul George, even Royce O’Neal, Porter, and cam Johnson

Nope. Short vs 2 of them and Dray isn't a comp

 

[msgkings322]

We laugh at your denial. Wrong wrong wrong.

His defensive effort is what impressed me the most. I honestly think he was expected to carry too much offensive weight here in Minnesota and that is what made him so lazy on defense here. Because he did not play defense here, at all. Change of scenery certainly had an effect but the most important factor imo is he is allowed to be the athletic freak he is without the weight of being expected to carry a team.
