Golden State Warriors pick watch

Another Warriors heartbreaker, :’))

NO/LAC/HOU have all built a little 1.5 game lead on GS. They’re also within 2 games of four eastern conference teams between 7-10.

@PHX, @LAC, BRK their next three games. Three teams hoping to make the playoffs, so nothing easy. Then they play us, and hopefully have Grant and DA back for that game. A bad stretch during these four games could slip them all the way to 7-8 I think.

Updating this thread is fun, lol.
 
We're a Curry sprained hamstring away from getting the 5th pick.

It would be just our luck that GS actually wins the lottery or goes top 3 if that happened.
 
We want this pick right aroudn 8-10 because any higher and we'll be sweating it out on lotto day. Yeah we want this pick in the top 14 but we don't want the odds too high so it moves up and we have to wait for next season to use it. Luckily the protections on this pick benefit us and they have a weaker protection next draft and no protection the draft after that.

Me too, I would be sweating bullets. I’d personally want a pick at #10, that would be the sweet spot for me.

Right now, I’m looking at Aaron Bradshaw as a big man I would love to have on the roster next year. He was a projected top 5 pick before the injuries, and now with being confined in Kentucky’s system, the amount of NBA ready bigs in the 1st round, and the reputation of this class lacking star power, he could be available at #25 in the earliest. I’d love to trade down for Bradshaw and secure a future 1st. A high lotto forward to add to Camara, Walker, Murray + a star-potential big to pair with DA would be an awesome outcome for the draft.
 
There is nothing to be sweating about. The pick eventually becomes completely unprotected in 2026. It doesn't turn into 2nd round picks like in some trades.

"Golden State's 1st round pick to Portland protected for selections 1-4 in 2024 and 1 in 2025 and unprotected in 2026."

If the Warriors are bad this season and end up 6th-10th worst record-wise and somehow get pick 1-4, they could be even worse next season.

I am rooting for Golden State to be as bad as possible.

You’re ultimately correct, that there’s nothing to sweat about, as it pertains to getting a pick. But it’s better to get a certain lotto pick than for the team to keep their pick and turn it around and make the playoffs next season. At that point, being top 1 unprotected doesn’t matter because the pick will be beyond #15. I’d rather have a guaranteed pick between #10-14.

I'd prefer they have the worst record in the NBA - it would be a coin flip we get the #5 pick.

Highly doubt their actually that bad. I'm just pointing out it's fine to root for them to lose every game.

so far they have avoided serious injury, given their key players ages a significant injury could easily happen

Yeah, due to the pick being guaranteed to convey me saying "sweating it out" was pretty dramatic. I'd like to be sure on lotto day that we get a lotto pick out of the Warriors but I'm obviously not too worried about if it conveys in this draft or next draft.
 
Given that next years draft is better than this year and everyone on the warriors will be another year older, it would not the worst thing in the world to have a top 1 protected pick next year for a team led by a 36 year old and 2 washed supporting cast members.

Disagree, I'd prefer this pick is #1: still a coin flip we get that 5th pick.

If it's #9 it still has a chance GS keeps it but is much less valuable if we get it.

Although the difference in it being ranked from #1-#9 is very small with the offsetting lesser chance we get it. So yes much less incentive to be a top pick than our own pick. So I'll be happy anywhere in the top 10.

But more I'm just pointing out there is no reason to root for them to win anything.

This is the way.
 
Plus the pain we would inflict on those ridiculous Warriors fans by getting their top5-7 pick would be more delicious than taking their 10th pick.

Although taking their pick anywhere in the lottery will be super fun!!!

Would we prefer they just finish 11th in the conference, or 10th? Might be most fun for them to lose the playin at 10 and then lose the pick in the lottery to us.

I believe the Warriors traded the pick to Memphis, who traded it to Boston (with Washington included in that trade dump) back a few seasons ago. And now it got traded to Portland from Boston, for Jrue.

Prot. 1-4

trade 1: GS/MEM Iggy salary dump

trade 2: MEM/WAS/BOS KP/Smart

trade 3: POR/BOS Jrue trade

Thanks, yeah I remember it had been passed around before we got it but couldn't remember exactly how.

Agreed, but we do not want them making the playoffs either.
 
If GS ends up top-4, I can't imagine they will be better next year. We could get a pick in a better draft that is only top-1 protected?
 
Suns can help the Blazers 2nd pick. The game is on TNT tonight. Go get 'em Nurkic !! I wanna see 14 off the bench for Little.

It's important GSW stays around .500. Don't get too greedy... The NBA could shuffle the draft cards if the Warriors end up in the 7th or 8th slot. Oh... sorry Portland, the Warriors get to keep their top 4 rookie this summer.

No , we do not want the Warriors to be around .500.

We want them to stink for the next 3 seasons.
 
Draymond just took a weird swing with his right arm at Nurkic's head/neck, as if his arm were paralyzed/limp and swinging from his shoulder.

I suppose the idea was that he could say "I just turned my body and my arm uncontrollably flew into Nurkic."

Anyway, Flagrant 2, ejected.
 
Eubanks scored a basket, then got a steal. Suns need more of that.

Draymond got his big contract extension. He can easily pay all the fines occurred for being a jackass.
