That luxury tax aint shyt

[khross415]

nikkas still doing the "Warriors should have taken LaMelo" shyt???

nikkas just want Steph to never have the ball in his hands again huh?

nikkas were mad that the Warriors traded D.Lo's non-defense playing ass cause he was dropping 50 points in losses only for the Wolves to be the worst team in the league this season

I ask the same question I asked then....what's your lineup when Klay comes back? Are you trading Klay? What do you get back for him? Are you starting Steph, LaMelo, and Klay at the same time? Who's guarding LeBron, KD, Kawhi, PG etc.? How well do Draymond's and LaMelo's games work together? If you don't start LaMelo then how long before it's an issue? Were y'all ready for the "Is it Steph or LaMelo's team?" takes 24/7?

Warriors are 3 games over .500 after 35 games. Draymond missed the first 4 then got kicked out of two other winnable games (one he lost by himself), Wiseman missed 11, Looney missed 10, Chriss out for the season, Steph missed the Charlotte game, Oubre spent 20 games being ass, and your second star is on the bench for the season.

Even still....they're are FIVE games behind the Lakers, FOUR games behind the Clippers, FOUR games behind the Nets, and FOUR games behind the Sixers.

All this and they had the toughest schedule to start the season.

So it begs the question....why all the bytching about a rookie who played 3 games in college, had no offseason, HAD fukkING COVID, and then missed 11 games with an injury?

why wouldnt lamelos game mesh with draymonds? klay comes back and u start steph lamelo and klay together it's not that hard to fathom.. the warriors created a dynasty off of playing small ball, and he was leading the ROY race off the bench playing behind 2 starting guards on the hornets so its not like he doesnt know how to play alongside 2 other guards

vouch for wiseman and his potential all you want but acting like lamelo wouldnt have seamlessly fit on this team is just being stubborn.. he fits that warriors style to a T

 

[BlaqkSpliffin]

some of the Wiseman hate on here is beyond irrational

people throw the term unicorn around too freely these days but I think his ceiling is ridiculously high and even at his age and limited experience he does things most guys his size can't do. He's shown flashes thus far and I'm of the belief he's gonna be a monster.

Dubs may be in win now mode but at the same time I think the braintrust, Kerr, and even some of the older players can look at the Spurs as a template to keep on developing high picks and potentially extend their careers and win more championships down the line.

At least that's what I'd like to see. Don't mortgage a potentially bright future to win immediately and subsequently relegate yourself to the trash heap again for years on end.

The Spurs won 5 championships in the 20 years of the dynasty (From Duncan to Kawhi getting hurt and leaving) That means there were 15 years they just made the playoffs and lost. They had 3 straight years where they didn't even get out the second round. No one remembers that tho. Warriors fans have become like Lakers fans, spoiled and delusional. This isn't 2K. Injuries happen. The salary cap is a thing. Teams aren't gonna trade you their stars just cause you want them too. Zach Lavine and Bradley Beal aren't tryna come set screens and have Draymond yell at them for the chance to win rings.

Wiseman is unique. Tell me another big man whose ever come into this type of situation with this little experience? Most of these high drafted big men are going to shytty teams where they can develop in peace and put up stats on trash teams. David Robinson and Tim Duncan were both 4 year players and polished. Embiid sat for 2 years before he started a game. Vucevic was an afterthought thrown in who randomly became good. Warriors are 5 games out of 2nd in the West. Maybe I'm crazy but Klay Thompson is probably worth at least 5 games in the win column. People need more patience.

No they didn't

They had 4 centers at all times on the roster. The death lineup came from an assistant who mentioned it to Kerr and they used in the 2015 Finals. They spent that whole year playing with traditional bigs and won 67 games. Mark Jackson was winning 50+ games running Jermaine O'neal postups and David Lee iso's. The whole reason they traded D.Lo is cause they don't want to run a small back court with limited defensive capabilities. That's what LaMelo is...a defensive liability that you can't mask with Steph on the court too. KD worked because HE'S SEVEN FEET TALL!!!

Draymond is a ball dominant point forward who directs the offense, LaMelo is a ball dominant PG who isn't a great catch and shoot player, guess who also needs the ball....STEPH. People were bytching about LaMelo playing behind Terry and Devonte and guess what happened? Devonte got pushed out cause that 3 guard shyt don't work and someone has to sacrifice.

Y'all don't know what the fukk y'all talking about per usual. Take that goofy ass shyt somewhere man

Y'all would make more sense saying the Warriors should have drafted Haliburton than this LaMelo shyt

That luxury tax aint shyt

When Steph retire Lacob better offer Curry an ownership stake in the team no questions

You got to admit man Melo would have been easy in our offense and when Klay come back it would be a line up of

Steph-
Ball - Poole
Klay - Oubre
Wigs - JTA
Dray - Loon -Pascal

When Pull ball at the 3min Mark In the first so he can start the 2nd quarter when Steph on the bench

...ok so they won a ring playing small ball nikka u proved my point

talking about mark jackson playing jermaine o'neal and david lee... and what did they win doing that? 6'6 draymond green took their spots and mark jackson got fired, they were winning championships with andrew bogut as their starting center and he wasnt a huge factor offensively.. their success was never contingent upon needing a dominant or star caliber center, you could have drafted lamelo and signed a nikka like javale mcgee in free agency and have still been successful

you comparing lamelo to d'lo shows me you don't know what the fukk you're talking about, the only thing remotely comparable is defensive issues and that's not the end of the world, lamelo is 6'7 so he wouldn't make up a small back court, not to mention he averages 6 rebounds as a pg(more than wiseman as a center) he's not a ball dominant guard who needs the ball in his hands to be effective, the warriors have always played that spurs style of constantly moving the ball to find the best shot and lamelo is constantly moving the ball and getting his teammates involved in a fast paced way where he doesnt need to dribble the air out of the ball to set something up

you clearly don't watch the hornets or know whats going on, devonte graham didn't get pushed out of anything, he has been injured and before that him/rozier/ball playing together was one of their most successful lineups

the nikka has conceded to rozier, graham, hayward, and even malik monk when he's needed to but he cant fit with steph and klay because he needs to get his shyt off too? shut the fukk up

You're a dumbass. Draymond ain't take their spots you stupid nikka. Bogut did. The Warriors won championships cause they had a top 5 defense every year. Guess what their issue is this year dikkhead? They're inconsistent defensively. LaMelo ain't helping with that. There wasn't no nikkas like Javale in free agency cause the Warriors HAVE NO MONEY you stupid fukk! All the centers got overpaid this offseason. They wouldn't have used the TPE if they drafted LaMelo either so no Oubre who is one of their best defenders.

You wanting to suck LaMelo's dikk don't change the facts nikka. LaMelo ain't making this roster better. They wouldn't suddenly go from being the 8th seed to the 2nd seed cause they added another point guard when they don't need one. Using ball movement in your offense don't mean you draft another point guard.

I don't give a fukk about the Hornets just like your stupid ass don't know shyt about the Warriors. Take your bytchass over to the Hornets thread and mind your business scrub.

You cannot play Draymond extended minutes at the center position. He will break down and break down quickly. That 3 guard lineup you talking about works only in theory. Klay off two injuries ain't capable of covering for both LaMelo and Steph defensively. And Wiggins is nowhere strong enough to guard 4's unless other teams are playing small. The Warriors entire issues right stem from them being inconsistent defensively and them not rebounding. I feel like y'all focus only on LaMelo's offensive game and think that shyt is gonna somehow fix the Warriors issues. KD a top 10 player all time and a great shooter and even he got tired of Draymond running the offense and all the motion shyt. I have no idea why y'all think LaMelo is this perfect fit just cause he can pass.

look at u emotional in your feelings name calling isnt going to help u feel better about the warriors making the wrong pick you bitter fakkit, you said some dumbass off base shyt about lamelo's play style and fit with the warriors to ease the pain and you were proven wrong, said some false shyt about the hornets and got proven wrong now u dont give a fukk about them kill yourself

bbbbut oh no you wouldn't have kelly fukking oubre if you drafted a potential generational player, the horror! bbbut defense! you not about to tell me there were no centers they could afford who could play more than 16 spot minutes a night and average more than 5 rebounds, wiseman fukking sucks on defense by the way cry about it bozo

 

[BlaqkSpliffin]

If this was 2014 and the Warriors had drafted Joel Embiid or Nikola Jokic nikkas would have been mad and talking bout "why didn't they draft Andrew Wiggins instead???"
