also if they trade barnes to cleveland

barnes career = over

no one will prosper in that shythole

According to crapthoughts he'll actually do better somewhere else because he'll get more shots up :laff:

I think he would do better somewhere else. He's the 5th or 6th option where he's at and I think he would thrive as the 2nd or 3rd option in a place like Cleveland.

bogut is an expiring tho. and lee still gets u 18 and 10 and his game isnt predicated on athleticism.

They signed Bogut to an extension before the season started. Bogut & Iggy have terrible deals in my opinion. Bogut can't stay healthy for an entire year & Iggy is on the wrong side of his career for what he'll be making at the end of his deal. Unless Golden State is ready to go into the luxery tax & pay like the Russian they'll have to give up Barnes or Klay or both.

idk if anyone can thrive in cleveland. My clip squad could use him though :mjpls:
I wouldn't mind that either. I had high hopes for Bullock out there but they went on a wing-signing spree after they drafted him and now it looks like he might get shipped out to NY :damn:

Barnes contract ends simultaneously with iggy's. So they're aight with Barnes. Klay might be a different story but regardless GS control the fate of both players. When Iggy leaves, Barnes should be well seasoned and ready to step in and take over. Iggy is well condition, I think he'll honor that contract well to the end of it.

iggy wasnt here for scoring a ton more than barnes. he was supposed to be a defensive anchor on the perimeter (warriors really had no good defensive players besides bogut. Ill leave blackthoghts to talk about klays abilities) and a glue guy

He's explosive on offense but he lacks a explosive first step

U remember Michael Finley before dirk became who he is? He was a beast. Harris stop can't even create his own offense. We all saw what happened to him at unc when Kendall Marshall got injured...


Yeah, Finley was a monster.One of them dudes cursed to be underrated his whole basketball life.

Even going back to how he dropped all the way down to the 21st pick in the '95 draft.


I remember he had a nasty dunk on David Robinson during his rookie year.It made the TNT top 10 plays of the year that season.It was like # 5 and Cheryl Miller went to bat for him saying "the rook got robbed, he should've been higher than that"

He also should've won the Slam Dunk competition that year, to.Brent Barry and his "white boy being able to dunk from the FT line" novelty act:smh:

Fin's has always been the Rodney Dangerfield of basketball

how's that defensive stallworth working out? they still wc bottom feeding and already had a young talent at the 3. clearly shoulda used that money to resign jack. iggy is what he is at this point in his career. he aint changing shyt.

Im not saying it was a good move, especially in retrospect. my point is he wasnt brought in for scoring ability. the move seemed decent/good at the time :manny:

nah, it seemed like a bamma pressed to spend their money & settled on a pair of air Pegasus when the kd's he really wanted were sold out.

either way, I been wanted barnes off the "beige at best brothers" shooting sideshow.
