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

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

and now on literally the worst contract in the NBA

We’re not going to do that. Ben Simmons is by far the worst, and a close second is none other than Draymond Green currently making $25 million a year. Klay is also creeping up on that list.

Poole has been trash but he’s young enough to be decent again.

 

[Kaypain]

They could have gotten Frantz Wagner

 

[Trojan 24]

Steph and his healed ankles the only thing keeping this franchise from being Knicks West

 

[Braman]

If I’m DC, I make GS put their money where their mouth is. You hate Poole, you hate Kuminga, Aight give em up. I want Poole, Kuminga, and Moody. They all trash right ? Wizards get younger (and separately trade Beal and Kuzma ). And GS gets rid of the apparent dead weight.

GS: Steph, Klay, Wiggins, Zingis, Looney

Wizards new core: Poole, Moody, (Amen Thompson), Kuminga, Advija + whatever you get for Beal

Win, win

Damn I forgot I called this

What I couldn’t imagine is Porzingis goes for Tyus Jones and wizards get nothing for beal

And GS with an all time youth fumble. They dikk off wiseman and Poole, and now they’ve typecast Kuminga—-who could be a star by now—- just enough to tank his value but also enough so he doesn’t help them either. And Moody has now completely plateaud ... You can tell me they couldn’t have flipped moody for KP or similar talent.

And most if not all of this can all be traced back to draymond

1- KD leaves bc of draymond
2- They take wiseman over lamelo bc they already had their playmaker in draymond
3- Wiseman’a development is stunted bc draymond is his OG. Train your #2 pick to be a deluxe role player brehs
4- Jordan Poole was more important to that chip than draymond. The dynasty officially ended when draymond knocked sonic rings out of Jordan Poole and he ain’t been the same since. They trade the instant offense bench scorer then proceed to go a record amount of games without a 2nd 20 point scorer You can’t make this shyt up

Nah. It’s Poole. This is year 1 of 4

Say what you want about klay, but klay is expiring, which is inherently more valuable, and klay has flat out been better statistically. Poole, by every advanced metric, is playing on a G League level. So you’re paying a guy 30 million per year to perform at a g league level. The Wizards are currently 36 POINTS better without Poole on the court.

Draymond’s an unhinged fukking buffoon, but he’s been fine so far this season when playing.

Again, Poole has been a disaster to start the season. He has the worst contract

 

[T'Challa Trillmonger]

if dubs had melo, haliburton, or wagner right now from that draft

 

[Don Homer]

if dubs had melo, haliburton, or wagner right now from that draft

could've had:

LaMelo or Haliburton in 2020
Franz Wagner in 2021 with the #7 pick
either Trey Murphy III or Sengun in 2021 with the #14 pick

 

[Rigby.]

It happening to Lacob and Bob Myers makes it funny, but damn, can you imagine LaMelo with Steph and having that defensive foundation behind him? nikka would be a fringe top 5 PG in the game right now.

This thread is full of fukking idiots

Poole was one of the worst rookies of all time. Had 1 good year. That contract is fukking death.

 

[Rigby.]

Can you imagine if they coulda deferred that pick a couple years and got in the draft with Paolo, Jabari, Chet and all them other bigs? Dudes tanked prematurely

 

[LV Koopa]

If the warriors really were "Light years ahead of the rest of the league" like Lacob's dumbass said, and not just an organization that got lucky they drafted a top 10 player OAT with their #7 overall pick, they would have noticed the glaring issues in Wiseman's game, and picked LaMelo. OR they could've traded down to get Tyrese Haliburton, OR they could've just drafted Tyrese with the #2 overall pick. It would've turned a lot of heads, but since they're "Light years ahead of the rest of the league", they would have been shown to be geniuses


....but they're not geniuses. They're just an organization that got lucky they drafted Steph, and had Larry riley and Jerry West who scout great players all the time. But ofc the Warriors org got arrogant and let those guys go. Since then, we have drafted fringe NBA talent outside of Poole and Looney. Seriously, look it up. ALL of the warriors first round picks and second round picks that the warriors let go of are out the league or not playing on their teams. ALL of them

Jacob Evans - out the league
Damian Jones - traded from the lakers, now rotting on the utah jazz bench
Eric Paschall - made All Rookie 1st team, now playing in puerto rico after 3 seasons
Jordan Bell - out of the league, in china
Alen Smailagic - out the league
Nico Mannion - out the league
Justinian Jessup - cant even get into the league
James Wiseman - salary dumped as the #2 overall pick. Marvin Bagley IV
Jonathan Kuminga - rotting on the bench as the #7 overall pick on some Jarett Culver shyt
Patrick McCaw - out the league

They're not light years ahead. they just had steph to cover up their incompetence. Like @Left.A1 said, misusing and missing on draft assets like this would normally get you fired

Marvin Bagley the IVth

All i know is LaMelo with the Warriors would’ve been insane.

Dude can score but that’s REALLY not his game… he’s just the best Ball brother at it. He’s a run and gun too like Poole, but he’s trying to pass not score like that. People that run and attack with him or can hit a 3 ball work VERY well with him. All he needs is a big that can rebound, defend, and finish and cats that can cut/make open shots. He’ll do the rest.

His defense would be the only thing I can think would be an issue but like I said about Poole, if dude is not hitting shots he’s useless. Probably a worse defender than Melo and probably a more CAPABLE scorer, but with his shot selection, lack of real pg skills, can’t rebound better than Melo, can’t create better, can’t defend better, and now shytting the bed this year…

It’s safe to say it was a mistake. Wiseman was the smart choice at the time though, all they needed was a solid big to make a run and they did, but in hindsight it was a huge mistake but it is what it is.

Hornets got some athletic bigs now so we’ll see.. not sure if Bridges returns but LaMelo with Bridges made him a star. LaMelo compliments other players who play like him.

Breh really predicted Poole's run on the Wizards
