A Wiseman Told Me Never Argue With Fools: Official 2021 Warriors Season Thread

[SpacelySprockets]

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???"

If this was 2018 and the Warriors drafted Bagley or Ayton over Luka you'd still have your cape out fakkit

 

[Stick Up Kid]

Looks like Warriors made a history failure in not drafting LaMelo... he has 13x all star written all over him..

the dude they drafted would’ve made sense in 1995

 

[El Jefe]

u take the best player available ..and warriors knew klay was done for the year ..he been sidelined 2 years runnin now

Who knows what he will be when he komes back

but bu you'd be taken the ball out of steph's hands but but Draymond is our point guard . which is it

make up ya minds .. all that nonsense is rubbish

even melo was playin small fwd and point small fwd ..its not like u couldnt work out a system around the talent you have and draft ..

and steph ain't gettin any younger .. this was a no brainer ..warriors blew it ..u could have strengthened your position for the present and the future

 

[idonttouchgrass]

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.

the dubs are a top 5 defense, bottom 10 offense this year

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

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.

Yeah well nobody thought Steph would be a fit when we had Monte... I’ll let y’all cook tho

it’s clear Melo is way more pro ready for now than Weisman... I think Weisman will be fine in the long run and it will take him a season or two to put it together.. But we on some win now shyt before the core 3 are pst their primes

And that's all that matters, as I've said from the beginning. Maximizing whatever window this core has left. I know y'all tired of me saying it, but I'mma keep saying it.

welp

IDK, looking like we shouldve chosen LaMelo.

But we didnt, so we have to HOPE that the flashes we've seen of Wiseman become the regular real soon

 

[High quality poster]

By next year people will be singing a different tune about wiseman. He’s a pretty skilled big man who’s still pretty green. He needs time. Lamelo would be stuck on the bench in GS. A part of the reason he’s playing so well is because he’s in a good situation where he’s given the green light in CHA

i hope so, but the bold is true. Melo wouldnt get this chance if he was playing for the Warriors

but then again, the 2nd unit would be tons better if we had Melo and not Wannamaker's trash ass

 

[TOAD99]

LaMelo was playing really well off the bench too for the hornets only because of injuries is he starting. I think he would’ve been fine starting alongside curry this year and off the bench next year or even alongside curry and Klay

LaMelo and Dray would be setting up curry and Klay so perfectly from 3

it would also finally let have a competent pg off the bench

too late for that, just gotta hope wiseman pans out

can y'all nikkas give Wiseman some time cotdamn


maybe, just maybe when it's all said and done the picks will work out for both teams


this is like some pre-emptive stan wars shyt

they came into different circumstances, play different positions, and are going to be asked to fulfill different roles

19 year old kid played 3 games in college, missed some time this year due to covid and injury, and you BBB nikkas ready to declare the trajectory and narrative of his career.

 

[Consumed]

Anyone who thinks Melo is ball dominant or doesn't fit with Steph, hasn't been watching the Hornets play. He is making quick decisions with the basketball. Gives it up when he doesn't have an advantage. Pushes the pace whether its after misses or makes, something D Lo doesn't do (terrible comparison). He shot 42% on spot up threes in February. He is willing to play without the ball and score within the flow of an offense. He is 19 years old with high BBIQ and great feel for the game, before you get into his talents and positional size. He'd be a great fit for the Warriors.

Problem is, Curry/Dray/Klay don't have a lot of time left at their current levels (and that's a maybe with Klay). They are starting Kevon Looney over Wiseman because they're trying to win games and he's not good enough to help them. Would anyone be surprised if Looney was better next season too? It takes more than offseason to fix the problems that Wiseman has.

Inexperience and being raw is all the more reason to criticize the pick when you want to maximize the years that the core has left and he's not ready to contribute to winning basketball. Meanwhile Ball looks great.

nikkas aint give ayton or bagley time to develop into as good of players as luka so whats the difference

but in all seriousness I actually don't even dislike wiseman I didn't come at him until the bozo got extra defensive and sensitive for no reason, all I said initially was you can still believe in wiseman without acting like they just HAD to pass up on lamelo because he wouldnt fit, that's disingenuous and a lazy take

I think wiseman has the potential to develop into a great player and im definitely not rooting against him, however, lamelo is looking like a generational talent and putting up numbers rivaled by only rookie luka and lebron as a starter and he's only going to get better.. if the goal is to make the most out of the last years klay and steph have of their primes how does drafting a potential multi year project help that? lamelo could have helped in the interim AND in the future

 

[khross415]

LaMelo was always going to be more pro ready then Wiseman. Wiseman had no games played in college we can go back n forth all day about it , Warriors said they thought Melo was more ready then Wiseman at the time of the pick but need and future they wanted Wiseman. Yall need to put that shyt to rest now this stan shyt yall got going on now in regards to the shyt is corny as fukk. If you woulda let the Coli tell it last year Steph was done playing at elite level and he was gonna be washed , how about we let shyt play out before we start counting out players and how much time they got left in the tank.
