Golden State Warriors thread - All Star 5

Dipo wants big dollars, has durability issues and is a terrible fit beyond this year, so fair chance his manager is driving that rumour.

Think Ball would be a great 6th man if he was willing to play that role.

In the short term we desperately need some playmaking and a little offence from the bench uni and J Lin doing just that in the G league.

Either Wiggins or Oubre have to go so we can add to the roster going forward

Oubre is too hot and cold (More cold) so I wouldn't be upset he leaves before deadline for some pieces like Reddick and Ball.

Dipo is cooked. He's only had 1 really good season, and that was a long time (and many injuries) ago.

I don't rate Oladipo at all, says a lot about a player that has been shipped off multiple times to places he never intended to play

That was bad

I think Wiggins adds more, but it's $30m for two more years for Wiggins vs $15m expriring for Oubre so different trade propositions.

Phew...fought hard for that one.

Thought Jazz would over run us when they reeled in 8 points in the first minute or so of the last to bring it back to one, but credit to Kerr, seemed to make all the right calls in the last.

Seems most matches Steph and Dray will do their thing, comes down to some genuine support from Wiggins or Oubre (ideally both) and someone off the bench picking up some scoring slack. Wiggins was dynamite on both sides of the ball, and Wiseman and Poole gave us plenty from the bench. Poole is 58 points from 68 minutes in his three March games, and he has some playmaking potential...should be comfortably ahead of Lee and Wanamaker now for minutes.

Great win considering Steph wasn't amazing.

5 games in 7 days is brutal.

 

[Kramer1]

Good W against an admittedly undermanned Rockets.

Dray Drayed, Poole Pooled

 

[Hodge2NormSmith]

Good win vs the Grizz.

Wiggins 27 and at the half and 35 all up.
Poole playing well since coming back up.

Curry, Wiseman and Paschall out.

Grizz win the return bout but Poole 26.

Seems like we can’t win strings together or keep guys on the floor.

Destined to be a 500 squad.

Too many blowouts, mixed with some great wins, real roller coaster.

Interesting to see if anything happens at the trade deadline.

Split in Memphis impressive with all the outs. Was expecting 2 x 10+ point losses.

 

[Kramer1]

We gonna see any deadline action?

 

[fidstar]

Curry out a week. Could be in some trouble.

Good effort against the 76ers though.

 

[Kramer1]

And so the Wanamaker era is over. Must admit I thought he shaped as a moneyball pick up, but couldn't hit the side of a barn.

Chriss too, though I wouldn't be surprised to see him back.

Can't see us luring any buyout guys...though I see Jeff Teague will likely be waived...could still use some playmaking off the bench.

Oubre stays, thought it made sense to move him

Musn't have been much of a market for him...only takes a glance at the on/off stats to see why.

 

[fidstar]

Poole looks good to be a playmaker/scorer off the bench.

Mannion has some potential too (as a backup).

Not sure what Eric did, but he's fallen right out of the rotation.

Yeah, they would have got rid of him if something half decent had come up.

 

[fidstar]

We're ******* embarrassing at them moment.

Yes. sh*t the bed big time yesterday.

So over these guys who bring it once every 5-6 games.

Can faintly remember having guys like West, Livingston and Iggy come off the bench...sigh...

 

[Kramer1]

Steph a lazy 35 5 minutes into the second half...our bench a combined 3 points...story of our year.

 

[Islanda22]

48 at the end of 3 for Steph, 10x 3s

 

[Scotland]

Steph is taking the piss in April. Basically 41 points a game shooting 7 of 14 from 3.

It's a shame that's only been a 6-4 stretch in what will ultimately be a .500ish season because it's fun to watch. I reckon he should play a Bird game and shoot only left handed.

 

[fidstar]

I've been enjoying it as much as anything since 2016.

Bloody Wiggins. Go up strong and dunk that.
