We still pretending the Warriors didn't make a mistake drafting Wiseman over Lamelo or nah

[The God Poster]

I mean it sucks they used that number two pick for basically nothing, but given how the rest of the time they seem to develop players into what they need and their ability to recruit the right pieces over the years...can't win them all I guess Pretty sure the track record ever since they drafted Steph in both drafting, trading for and signing players is still mostly positive, as the 4 titles seem to indicate

Ironically it's the highest draft pick they had in decades that turned out to be totally useless

Steph greatness really let their FO off the hook. The bolded is a flat lie

Looney Draymond Klay gp2 they do help develop but also they do well with guys who fit their system as well Wiseman never fit and never was going to get the reps to fit

MELO WAS ALREADY AN ALL STAR
IN HIS 2ND YR.

DONT TRY TO DOWNPLAY HIM
BECAUSE HES BEEN BANGED UP
WITH INJURIES LATELY.



​

He’s just down playing him because he was one of the guys who swore for years Melo wouldn’t get drafted

 

[Damnshow]

He has no basketball IQ and he got traded to the Pistons. Guys like Thon Maker, Josh Jackson, etc. end up in Detroit. It's like a sign that your career is going nowhere when you get traded to Detroit for peanuts.

I’ll give you GP that’s it

They still deserve credit for building a system that maximizes Klay Steph Draymond and others. The joke about Draymond is he never would have been this on many other teams. For the misses they have had they hit where it mattered and that’s why they have 4 rings with 2 not anchored by durant

He was an injury replacement who low key probably shouldn’t have made it over bridges but beyond that you have a point

lamelo spoonfeeding bridges is the only reason that dude even got his starting job back

Hindsight is 20/20… Haliburton was there too

Aint no "hindsight." People were telling y'all hard headed asses this BEFORE the draft.

 

[tremonthustler1]

I called LaMelo a bust before the draft, but after seeing him in the NBA there’s no doubt he would have been the perfect fit for the Warriors. 6”7 with handle and range? with the great shooter of all time? “That’s nasty” *Cleveland voice*

I wanna see how James Wiseman fairs in Detroit, where he has more time and room to grow as a basketball player.

Actually he doesn't have any of this there.

 

[tremonthustler1]

Could have had anyone in the draft not named Anthony Edwards.

They coulda picked first if they really wanted to.

 

[Don Homer]

Poole doesn’t become Poole if Lamelo is there

This isn’t even true

Warriors guard rotation during the 2021 season

poole - played 51 games at 19mpg
Mychal mulder - played 60 games for 12mpg
Damion lee - played 57 at 19mpg
Brad wannamaker - played 39 games 16mpg
Kelly oubre (started and played the 2. Wiggins was the 3) - played 55 games at 30 mpg
Kent Bazemore (played some 2) - played 67 games at 20 mpg

The minutes were DEFINITELY there for Poole and LaMelo to get minutes. Kerr was playing fringe NBA players in the guard spots double digit minutes per game. Poole would not get in the way of LaMelo and vice versa

We don't shame injury replacements here (as of about an hour ago)

The LaMelo slander, hornets fans handle that

 

[42 Monks]

The LaMelo slander, hornets fans handle that

it don't even add up. why should any bad team be mad at losing this year of all years the draft is loaded.

ain't our fault cade don't drink milk. nobody made them dudes stan killian hayes and become bitter either.

 

[Collateral]

Actually he doesn't have any of this there.

How so?
