Locked on Blazers guy was trolling GSW last month. Did his goofy laugh while stating "the Warriors suck.". Blame Richman if this pick ends up 20.
Well right now they're in the play-in so if they get into the playoffs and one of the teams with an even worse record than theirs gets into the playoffs let's say in the east then the pick could be as low as 16... if they keep winning they might have a better record than three or four teams in the playoffs and then we're at 18 or 19.
No way was that either/or on the table... anyone (including Cronin) would have taken JK instead of a bunch of 2nds STOMP
then we give more to get him. That wasn't my point. My point was @illmatic called it that he was worthy of trying to get. I am simply giving him credit because he had been saying for a while gsw was misusing him and he itbetter than gsw was using him as at the time.
I don't think the Warriors were misusing him, I think he is/was a talented young player figuring out how to play in the league. It's pretty common for young talent to struggle at first as they find their way and then have things click. Kuminga had all sorts of bad habits he had to change (or drop) that were detracting from the good things he can do. His physical talents were always obvious, the W's sure have needed another frontcourt athlete & he's still on a favorable rookie deal through next season. Bay Area sportstalk had him involved as the centerpiece for getting back Siakam or Dejounte but those are just hypotheticals that we don't know if they were really pursuing. I doubt they were ever actively looking to move him but I'd guess the price to Portland would have been Shaedon or unprotected lotto picks in a better draft then 2024 STOMP
Curry is playing us like a fiddle. He rolled into P-Town with Klay and Kuminga, and scraped the paint off the Blazers logo. "Thanks Steph, we need these losses". Now he's tearing up the rest of the league and reducing our 2nd pick into mush. Steph is diabolical towards the Blazers, we love him & hate him.
I just saw a YouTube video entitled, "Hottest Teams Coming Out Of All-Star Break" in my feed and the thumbnail was Steph. I fucking hope the all star break has cooled down the geriatric Warriors. They need to fizzle out. I'm not greedy, I'll take a late lotto pick but fuck them if it's near pick 20. I'm hoping the fucking Jazz re-establish some semblance of a backbone, kick the Warriors out of the play in and the 9th or 10th place team in the East makes it into the playoffs. That would put our Warriors pick around 10. We win the lotto and we have the first and tenth picks.
