The 2023-2024 NBA Season

[fightinfunbags]

Let’s just all agree to play it out this year with what we got, be fun

I think you could see a ton of teams looking for a deal of varying proportions. Between buyers and sellers I think you have as many as 25-26 teams that could be looking to do something. The Thunder may be one of the only teams that may sit on their hands.

Oh I expect a deal of some sort, just likely won’t be a blockbuster

Wow that’s some stupid stuff

Marcus Smart with 8 threes last night

 

[tlance]

yep

The top 5 pick was a chance to extend the window even longer

that said it's impressive it went this long.

2 top 5 picks…

I completely wasted. The other being under utilized.

I think it’s funny.

Kerr is a shit coach at player development. His dumb ass better retire with steph

Kuminga was 7 I think

 

[msgkings322]

Nah. Not really.

He is part of the problem actually.

It is Kerr’s fault more than CP3, but Kerr just refuses to play his young guys the minutes they deserve.

He will ride or die with Curry, Klay, CP3, Wiggins etc.

And that is a really small and not good backcourt unit at this stage in those guys’ careers.

Anytime guys like CP3, Klay, Wiggins have to miss, it means Kerr has to play young guys.

And that is what the Dubs need.

As someone who watches most of the games this is not really correct. CP3 anchors the bench, it's him and young guys, and the bench routinely outscores the opposition, it's the Warriors strength. Be interesting to see if it still is with someone else (Podz?) running point.

But Draymond being out has definitely allowed some of that. And Wiggins has already been demoted to the bench he gets less than 20 minutes most days. I don't disagree with the general concept but losing CP3 will hurt

You are correct

Don’t know why I thought he was higher

 

[msgkings322]

Paul trade was still a win since they can get under all the stupid bullshit this year if they want

They can’t burn it down cause their pick is only top 4 protected but they should make sure the kids get run


Let klay and Paul walk and restock this summer

Problem is they are so far over they don't have that much room even with both of them walking. Maybe like $30 mil

He anchors the bench.

But he also closes a lot.

And it is not a good closing lineup.

 

[msgkings322]

Yes. They caught lightning in a bottle

But there’s still a core here, especially defensively

But klay has collapsed and Paul wasn’t the right fit

Klay is playing better and as I said Paul has helped them have one of the best 2nd units in the game

I’m curious if they don’t use Paul to take on a few 2 year deals and do their reset next year instead

They might but he's been very good

 

[msgkings322]

It’s funny how eveyone lost those deals

Gs
Washington
Pho



Wash might win the most with a 2029 first

But still….

Warriors won that deal

Missing on Wiseman definitely hurt

 

[tlance]

Warriors won that deal

They really didn’t.

There are no winners here.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Missing on Wiseman definitely hurt

I get the logic to want a cheap top 5 contract to go with your core but it was misplaced with Kerr. Not that he could've saved Wiseman.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

just once I want someone to pretend to drop the baby
