"Are they watching your minutes? Is it full-go as far as you know?"

"It's full-go as far as I know."

"Our job is fun. Is this even a job?"

about the younger players:

"I see coach cuss one of them out. They don't pout about it."

I'm ok with filling in end of bench spots on guys like that. Not everyone has to have some crazy upside you are waiting on, and needing development. Sometimes just having another adult in the room, and likely someone to give solid practice minutes type of guy. Someone who knows where they're supposed to be on the court so that if they do end up playing, it is able to elevate our super young guys, versus having an air head out there with them.
Doubt he sees many minutes. Hopefully he doesn't. But seems like a better keeper than Knox.

Another great interview. A lot of likable characters on this team. Also loved that Chauncey is cussing the young players out.
 
It probably is because there are so many new players on this team, but it seems like they have a lot of wild cards that could affect how this season goes.
I mean what happens if Williams and Ayton are able to give us 4th quarter minutes together? What happens if Ish is able to play SF minutes next to DA, Grant, and Brogdon? All of a sudden the team would actually have a lot of size and defensive potential.

It will take a while to know which lineups actually can work. I am looking forward to the flexibility.

Feels like either all these wildcards are being discounted, or those players aren't as good (and I mean good, not great) as I think they are.
 
This is not surprising because he mentioned this in the interview posted here.

 
Good News: Blazers tied for 3rd.
Bad News: GS is bottom 4, so they get to keep their pick.

That's pre-lottery.
Detroit had the worst record in the NBA last season, but got bounced out of the top four and picked 5th.

What happens if pingpong ball grace the warriors with the 1st pick next June? Do we just lose the pick or what?

Yes, it's top 4 protected in 2024, so 1-4 the pick stays with Golden State.

in 2024, if the pick is 5-30 it goes to Portland.
If it doesn't convey, then in 2025 Portland gets Golden State's 1st round pick if it is 2-30 (top 1 protected).
If it doesn't convey in 2025, in 2026 the pick is unprotected.
 
I just opened up Page 5 and the conversation was all about donuts. Could we change the title of this thread to "Raymond Felton"?
