Күн бұрын

Audacy NBA insider Nick Friedell joins Willard and Dibs to break down what could very well be a wild NBA offseason and whether the Warriors can capitalize. Could LeBron James or Kevin Durant be Warriors? Would the Warriors be willing to push all their chips into the middle of the table for an aging star?

So we finish like the Suns or Brooklyn of years ago ? The league is getting younger, longer and more athletic. We better follow that trend and develop the youth or trade for multiple younger talents instead of putting all our hope on one special player

With Steph? WTF? You kick out Steph or wait for his retirement for that

@@hpulker You are not watching the Suns, Lakers and Clippers holding on proven and old stars flaming all around? What you want is a good mix of experience and youth energy. You keep Curry+Dray and you add J Allen, Bruce Brown, JK, Moody, Podz, Garuba. Tha is 1000 time better than Curry, Lebron, Dray, KD, Klay + 2 other old veterans

Stop with the we need a big name player - the Warriors need size defence and depth. What Warriors need to prove is that their core players with a strong enough supporting cast can get the job done. The Warriors dont need to be the second Lakers that buys big name players to build their team.

We still have to get a better center. Trayce would be a great back up and also we would need another SG. Starting Moody isn’t the answer in my opinion.

Ya right....get a $50 million old player for the warrior's young core. It will be the same tragic trade that The Sun's made. Forget it.

Warriors can have Steph Curry, Lebron James &/Or Kevin Durant, Joel Embiid, Giannis Antetokounmpo. 3 Superstars in Golden State this Summer but wouldn't have a bench to give production for next season. Remember Golden State's 2018 - 2019 Roster, they relied to much on the Starting 5 and bench rarely gave any production in the playoffs outside of Andre Igoudala. Warriors get KD, Embiid or Giannis to add with Steph & Lebron and they would have the Best Starting Five in the league but one of the worse bench in the league. Warriors would need to trade away their bench just to get KD, Embiid or Giannis in Golden State for next season.

Time has changed what has been forgotten every chip has been won not with 3-4 stars But with a surrounding roster strength by number. Even 10 years back the core, Durant players get hurt today that still happens and they are much older where game management is in play when it happens who is going to fill in the lineup on the bench Gleague? Suns should be a prime example they unloaded a good roster for two players. They got KD the first time didnt give up anything the core salaries werent that high today the it might be impossible without unloading the rest of roster. Even with Klay,KD, Curry, Green are they going to ride thesebold houses until they drop get a nice seeding then got nothing left! You still got the toughest bracket with Denver, Wolves, OKC, nice thought but even with KD or James they just above 50/50 chance.

@WorldBeater123 14 күн бұрын

Yes, cause the Warriors need to get even OLDER, SLOWER and have another player that can’t defend the perimeter. 🤦🏻‍♂️. Y’all keep looking in the past when we need to look to the future.

@JohnMorris-mp2zc 14 күн бұрын

No chance of Lebron, but slimmer of chance for KD. Lebron has full family and business in LA. No chance of him leaving LA. KD is a roamer. KD+Grayson Allen for Klay+Wiggins+GP2+whoever is needed (but much prefer no draft picks). Agree with the speaker that this is their best chance, maybe only chance next year. If W has Steph+DG+KD with one more shooter, they have a chance. Right now, W is not totally screwed, but Suns looks like is.

The Warriors should go through the pain of letting this dynasty and and resetting. Bringing the band back together won’t return the title to San Francisco/Oakland. Steph Curry is not the player he used to be. Klay Thompson is nowhere near the player he used to be. Draymond Green is nowhere near the player he used to be. Kevin Durant is not the player he used to be. Steve Kerr isn’t the coach we thought he was. Kevin Durant should only come back to the Golden State Warriors when his retirement happens as well as come back when they add a statue of him

If that happens the Phoenix Suns will want Chet Holmgren, Luguentz Dort and 2 Future 1st Round draft picks for KD back to the Thunder. Why would the Thunder trade a 21 year old (Chet) for a 35 year old Kevin Durant who will be retiring within the next 2 -3 seasons or so.
