Justin, Rob, and Wos look at what’s going on with the most head-scratching teams of the offseason, such as the Lakers, Warriors, Jazz, and Bucks. After, they discuss the Mavs’ offseason signings and where those moves put them in the West. Finally, they end on Donovan Mitchell’s extension with the Cavs and whether him having organizational say is a good idea.

The Warriors cut salary as they desperately needed to do. They'll mouth words about wanting to play the highest level etc. But anyone with eyes can see serious playoff basketball is not really in their future baring some sort of miracle injury curse on all their opponents or perhaps some totally unexpected leap from one of the young guys that has no historical precedence. As a Warriors fan I'm just happy I won't have to watch Klay shuck us out of games while playing no D and have absolutely no one hold him accountable.

Yeah, that's my jazz. Screw up tanking in the years where it makes sense and tank in the years with bad drafts. Being a Jazz fan is painful. Announcers think we have a "savvy fanbase", but we don't. They wet themselves if the Jazz are bad and don't understand that in order to win you have to tank in this league.

I get OKC is young but growth isn’t always linear and so are these other teams. What if ANT becomes an MVP candidate? What if McDaniels becomes a better shooter? What if Luka takes another leap? What if D Live becomes an all defense level player? On the other hand what if Chet struggles at the 4? What if J Will looks worse without the 5 out spacing? They’re young, they’re great, I expect contention, but people are assuming all the positives of a young team without accounting for the swings and not applying the same positive outlook to other young teams.

So here is how far off the warriors were last season - 3 more wins they are 6th - 5 more wins they are 4th - 11 more wins they are 1sr So here is the teams ahead of them after FA and draft -Thunder made big depth improvements + 5 games -Nuggets lost KCP -3 games -Timberwolves taking big swings -1 game at least this season -clippers lose Paul George -6 games -Mavs lose defense and gain offense Even -suns no changes so even - Lakers no changes - 1 game cause of rookie coach mistakes - Pelicans - solid pick up + 4games - kings no real changes so even. Honestly I think the warriors improved the bench to the point that they ride depth to 50 wins this season so what they’ve done makes sense to me.
@tonyschimmoeller
@tonyschimmoeller 4 күн бұрын
Suns made some solid improvements. Plumlee and Morris are huge upgrades for depth. Dunn could be a stellar addition as a defender, though he is a rookie so hard to expect it. The Clippers getting more solidified roles while also getting Batum back and a dirty work defender like DJJ could see them as only a -2 imo. That said I have liked the Warriors offseason. Idk why people act like the guys they added aren't positive players.

The Warriors owe something to Steph and Klay and Greene and have managed to draft and cultivate a younger generation of players. This is not what the Lakers are, the owe nothing to Lebron. They don't need to drag this thing. They know they are not winning and they don't have any young talent to continue once Lebron decides to leave. It's unthinkable what they are doing. p.s there is not 7 feet version of Klay, Klay is the second best shooter of all time. Someone who shoots well, is not a replacement to that.

I paused at 35min bc I have a perfect solution for the warriors and the jazz: First, the Oakland As move to Salt Lake City and change the name to the Utah Baseball Friends or whatever they want. Next, Utah sends their basketball team to Oakland and they change their name to the Oakland As Now, GS can trade Steph into Oakland's cap space and no one's feelings are hurt. I live in Oakland and I'm convinced that people don't even watch baseball, it's just a great logo and color scheme and people want to rep their city. If the A's were a basketball team, you would have ZERO problems attracting free agents. Oakland is a cool place that a young black millionaire would love to be a part of. Only deterrent is California state tax I've already had this idea but it was a trade with the san jose sharks, i thought Oakland would love hockey if it gave it a chance, Raiders on ice? The elephant is standing on a hockey puck holding a hockey stick, easy edit. But Oracle in green and gold? The elephant standing on a basketball, holding the rim in its trunk like he Shaqd that thing off the backboard? Cmon man🔥

Sure but how many transactions has Ainge 'won' as Jazz GM yet? So far the Wolves are enjoying the Gobert trade. Only a few folks champion Kessler as some game changer big. The Mitchell trade has only net Sexton whose an afterthought for competitive teams. Ochai got flipped for a 2024 Raps first rounder. Lakers/Warriors are probably looking to not flip major talents just to get Lauri.

Lakers owned OKC in the regular season. If adding Caruso and Hastlestian changes that watch basketball. Luka and Irving are not better than AD and Lebron.

This is the last szn we see BOTH Lebron and AD in a Lakers Jersey. The truth is the Westbrick trade essentially closed the championship window for Lebron & Co. The Lakers are now in a place of limbo. Lebron is too old and makes too much money to trade the future for. I think it’s best to blow it up and get what you can get for Lebron and AD and hope Rob Pelinka doesn’t find a way to fuck up the re-build. Feels alot like the end of that last Kobe contract.
