STOP, this would be a dumb ass trade and we sure as hell won’t win a title with Lauri! Steve Kerr ruined the young talent on our team the same way he is ruining Team USA. FIRE KERR, can not develop young stars!!! Sure as hell can not come up with a lineup without superstars in their absolute prime.
Kuminga + Moody + Picks for Lauri. The guys on rookie deals for next 2 years are just too valuable to.move. those players are what allows you to build deep teams without going deep into penalty. Highly doubtful JK will.live up to hix next contract. And Moody just hasnt shown enough consistently.
One thing former GM Bob Meyers mentioned about potential big trade deals is were not going to mortgage our whole future just to bring in a star? The Warriors have enough talent already and need their players to develop continuity. It also comes down to coaching I believe Kerr was out coached at times and he should consider using his big men more strategically and stop relying heavily on going small ball too much. I could show Kerr how to retool the death line-up which I've been a fan of. Don't forget big man Andre Bogut and Javale McGee played a pivotal role in the dubs early dynasty years.
Bob Myers is an all time criminal. He had a a guy who is bigger then their entire franchise. 3 playoffs missed. Nurse Curry spent many years with Wisebust, Poole, Kuminga, Moody so on Yea, collecting picks and develop youngsters is you way to go, Instead of competing. Worse than KG situation. At least people was on his side.
Throw in Looney and another pick for kessler and make the deal. Then go trade wiggins and a pick for kuzma and pick up hayward out of free agency. 1st unit: Kessler Draymond Markkanen Kuzma Steph 2nd unit: TrayceJD Slo-mo Hayward Hield Melton
The only step JK took last season was improved FT shooting and he took more shots increasing his point totals. He didnt rebound or assist at a higher rate. He didnt lower his turnover rate. His handle is still sketchy AF. And he didnt turn into an above average defender on or off ball. In particular he is a swinging gate defending in the paint. His motor has stayed low. Only place he excels is in the open court. Against a set defense frankly he is a liability.
He increased his rebound assist and field goal percentage across the board he got better with more minutes… we want plays to magically get better when they AREN’T GETTING REGULAR MINUTES! Last year was his first time getting consistent playing time
@drewjohnson1260 Why lie? The stats are all out there. His EFG, assists/36 rebounds/36 3p% all same as his rookie or 2nd season. If anything his shooting actually got worse (except FTs). His dribbling in traffic is a nightmare. His rebounding is bad.
@@kevinmclain4080 the stats don’t lie his rebounding is at 4.8 per game compared to 3.4 the year before is that not an increase? Let’s have an objective opinion he was the only paint presence we had all last season and consistently got to the freethrow line
@drewjohnson1260 He got more minutes. Derp. You have to look at totals per 36 minutes. His rebounding rate was the worst of his 3 year career last season. As I said earlier. The only thing he showed us that we had not seen already was improving his FT%. I hope by "paint presence" you don't mean defensively because trams were abusing him all season trying to defend the interior.
Lauri is not a star, just a very good player. He is not worth all that to trade for. Multiple 1st rounders, and so really good young talent….nah, man Lauri is not that dude. Look else where to trade and make the team better. Or better yer, just run the team out there until February and see what yo have.
Ingram looks more disinterested than Wiggs. Don’t need that type of player. Plus, he will want $50 mill per year. He is not a max guy period. It’s ridiculous NBA team are maxing out average dudes. Only superstars should be maxed out. And there are no more than 5-10 of those dudes in the League.
One player is getting traded because he "doesnt fit with team". The other player is being traded bc his team is trying to rebuild and prob shouldve been worst team last 2 years, but he keeps dragging his trash team to playoffs so they sit him end of both years. I know which one i want. Stats arent close either.
Lauri is the young KD not Ingram. Compare the shooting splits. Lauri was actually more efficient scorer then Steph last year efg. He is bigger and shot more than twice as many 3s a game then BI at much better clip. BI isn't near as good.
Um Kendrick... Kerr benched Ingram during FIFA basketball tournament. Kendrick is on TV but it doesn't make him smart. He compared Kuminga to Jordan Bell. Enough said
@@Salsainglesa watch some Utah jazz game tape Lauri is a 7 footer who plays the Small forward only wants to stand around and shoot jumpers and also can’t guard elite forwards or elite bigs
His assist numbers are surprisingly good. The ball movement with Anderson, Draymond, Steph, and Ingram could be really impressive. Feels kinda like Dray, Steph, Livingston, and Iguodala. I’m intrigued.
Naw you trade Draymond because you have slo mo. Draymond mentally is fried as Klay’s shot was fried. Get something for Dray and trade B Podz and picks for Markkanen. Use the fact that B Podz is a potential all star and run him!! Markkanen is like that!
I agree. Can only have 1 bad shooter on court at a time in today's league, Dray bad for locker room, and unreliable. Poole was a favor, but how many chips did he cost the dynasty by running off KD.
@patrickturk8957 Because JK will be up for extension end of season. Warriors don't want to be operating as a penalty paying luxury tax team. It hamstrings them.
You funny. Jazz only want Podz bc he is cheap. Mikal Bridges was traded for 5-6 firsts and he isn't as good. Look up Lauris stats. Ainge is at the helm so wont be cheap at all, but if it wasn't Ainge Lauri prob not available. Dudes like him usually untouchable. Gonna cost us to give Steph a real shot.
@@rcbarnson6488 What has L. Markkan done in this league? What has he won ( team or individual)? I will wait??? So why would Warriors give up that much for him! Danny A. Is not smart, he couldn’t get Boston over the hump and he certainly will not get the Jazz over the hump, he is essentially just collecting resources!
@@sstanley00 Agreed Ainge got lucky in Boston and screwed Utah. Look up Lauris stats. Steph need a 7' freak chucking 8 3s a game with KD level splits. Not another role player. Rebuild and sign JK next year? You'd do that to Steph? We don't pull trigger now then we should trade Steph cause that would make sense for both parties.
I'm comfortable giving up Kuminga, but I'm not giving up Bpodz. They have the same sealing, but Kuminga has an attitude problem and wants $200 million where as Pods will be a lot cheaper and will get in where he fits in being an army kid You don't want to be the team to pay Kuminga $200 million cause it's gonna be a poison pill contract and will age like milk In saying that, i don't want anything to do with Danny, I'd rather deal with the nets Trade: Loony & Wiggins + 4 picks for Cam Payne & DFS Then trade Kuminga for Okongwu 1. Steph Curry 2. Brandin Podziemski 3. Moses Moody 4. Draymond Green 5. Onyeka Okongwu 6. De'Anthony Melton 7. Buddy Hield 8. Cameron Payne 9. Dorian Finney-Smith 10. Trayce Jackson-Davis 11. Gary Payton II 12. Kyle Anderson Two-Way Contracts 13. Reese Beekman 14. Daeqwon Plowden 15. Quinten Post
