It's going to be interesting seeing Golden State playing this year having everyone back and healthy. I at least hope that Klay is back and healthy, not having him on the team is such a bummer, of course not just for the Golden State Warriors but for NBA fans. Him and Curry are such unbelievable shooters, it's just so fun watching them do there thing night in and night out ( even if I can't stand Curry and his cockiness, he's amazing).

I am curious how it will go this year for them. The league has had some time to adjust to the new shooter's paradise NBA and the Warriors have lost a lot of main pieces while Draymond is very much on the downhill slide of his career. I'm sure they'll come back strong and be a lock for the playoffs, but I don't see them as a contender. Wiseman would have to develop very quickly in order for that to happen. I suspect we'll see some trading or free agent signing before the season starts for them, but I'd be surprised if they get further than the second round of the playoffs this coming year. No matter what though, it'll be great to see the splash brothers back together again.

If the Warriors sign him, then they will have great potential next season. However, I guess this decision also might be critical for the Warriors because trading four players for KAT is too much. In this case, they will have a great starting lineup, but they also will have a very weak bench.

you could say if this happened like a gamble that risked everything for the sake of a KAT. indeed the possibility to become a solid team in the future and their potential is very big but on the other hand their reserve players are not in a favorable condition if the warriors believe in releasing 4 players for a KAT.
but on the other hand when KAT is indeed brought in the lineup of warriors will be a little more different and more vicious

Why do I feel like I'm missing something with all these talks about KAT? He'll win a ring in another team? What? I don't think he plays hard enough to lift his team like Giannis does. I also think he has an attitude so it's hard for me to imagine him working with other superstars. GSW was already mentioned so imagine him scolded by Green.

I don't think GSW will bite on that. There will too much at stake and the same goes for T'Wolves. They just acquired D'Angelo Russell and they want to at least see first how the chemistry will fit with KAT. Because of injuries it was halted but the two was said to be bestfriends so it will be an easy task for them to be in sync at the basketball floor.
Now they also have Anthony Edwards so they are not that weak anymore. All they need is to prove it with a healthy year.

GSW will not for sure, they are already good to go with Klay coming back and Iggy to support Green and Steph. They still have looney to play as center and he's good if the injury already healed well.

Timberwolves got Beverly to add another defensive stopper, they can use him to back up the offensive attack of both DRussel and KAT

It will depend now on how the coaching staff will blend the chemistry of these players to win the game.

I just hope that KAT will be traded to another team because his career will just go to waste if he stays there unless the Wolves will get another superstar that will help him then he might stay.

Put KAT in GSW and suddenly GSW will become one of the favorites to win the championship.

When Thompson is back next season, and Curry with very high confidence due to the big contract he got, I'm sure they'll be a tough team to beat.
This is a scenario that I don't know if will happen, but I think he fits a good team, so let's hope he'll get one.

He really fits there but the cap I don't know if GSW still have that to offer for him, unless he will be the one to adjust and accept much lesser contract.

It's good to see him playing with the splash bro, Green and Iggy that's surely a good title contender with a healthy splash bro
that will bring the first line for their offense, while Iggy and Green are the ball setters to find who's going to be the best option to take the shot.

KAT will have that open space inside knowing that the defense will always focus with the splash bro.

This would never happen. In your scenerio the Warriors give up no one. Timberwolves would never do this trade because the 1st round picks they would get would likely be in the high 20s. That's a dream machine trade. For KAT to be moved it would have to be with multiple talented Youngs and multiple first round picks with the capability of those picks being lottery picks. Ain't gonna happen with the warriors.

Because of that statement, I search for an article about the warriors getting KAT, and this is what I found.

The Blockbuster Trade Idea: Warriors Can Land Karl-Anthony Towns For Four Players And Four Draft Picks

He is a high paid player so the Wolves would demand a lot of players in return.
If GSW is willing to gamble with that, they'll improve as a team but the health of Thompson is still vital as GSW needs the splash brothers.

If the Warriors sign him, then they will have great potential next season. However, I guess this decision also might be critical for the Warriors because trading four players for KAT is too much. In this case, they will have a great starting lineup, but they also will have a very weak bench.

KAT and Draymond are both good passers, they'll become suddenly the old warriors that we saw in the past. However, they also need to improve their 2nd unit, and now that Iggy is back with the team, I think he can also be a big help for the 2nd unit. This may be a dream but it could happen as GSW has to compete with the teams that are upgrading their rosters like the LA Lakers and the Nets.

Pat Beverly to be traded again, this time to Timberwolves, second time in as many days that Pat has moved.

https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1427646798089359361

Yeah, he could play PG for the Wolves and he said via his twitter that he is happy with the trade. Wolves is a young team and Pat will be a good match because of his experience and his tenacity.

Hope to see him happy when he already playing with the Wolves,

That team was already a good contender back then, when they still have Wiggins, KAT, DRose and Butler. But they did not maintain that squad instead, they trade those stars to another team and until now, the process of bringing good role players to work with KAT still unsuccessful. Maybe Pat may add some good spice for them.

KAT's talent can be used somewhere, he can win a championship if he leaves Minnesota Timberwolves. It's not yet late for him though, just like Kevin Love back then, he was averaging a double-double but the team is unsuccessful, however, when he transferred to the Cleveland Cavaliers, that's where he got his championship.

I'm pretty sure that he will get a championship once he leaves the Timberwolves but his current contract right now with the team is until 2024.
When Love leave the TWolves and joined LeBron in the Cavaliers, he got his championship there and I'm sure that the same will happen to KAT. Let him join to a team where there is at least 1 superstar or an average team maybe that is entering the playoffs.

Acquiring Beverley will not change anything with the team. There defense might increase with the addition of him but still it isn't enough for them to be at least a playoff contender. I just hope that KAT will be traded to another team because his career will just go to waste if he stays there unless the Wolves will get another superstar that will help him then he might stay.

Some news from Cleveland. The Cavs would be very interested in signing Denzel Valentine. The former Bulls player, not renewed by Chicago at the end of his contract, is still looking for his next team. For now, no attractive offers have arrived for the player, who's certainly one of the best free agents still on the market. No team has officially stepped up, but Cleveland seems interested in striking a deal with Valentine.
Injuries aside, Denzel Valentine still remains a player with good potential. In 2017-18, before the left knee problem that forced him to surgery, he had in fact shot with almost 39% from three on 4.8 average attempts per game.

For him to win a title, he needs to think out the box and find another team that suits to his position,

Yep, he should go for at least a contenting team whether East or West.

Quote from: Pamadar on August 19, 2021, 03:09:44 AM

Maybe he can go to Blazers or GSW, both teams need a big man who can really contribute not only to defend but also to provide offense,
If he can adjust and play according to what the team needs him to contribute. He can win a title before retiring, but if he chooses to
stay with Minnesota and continue to have his paycheck without pressuring himself, it's his decision to make.

On those two, I would say GSW, as he might have a reunion with Wiggins.

I'm not sure about the Blazers, it seems that they really lack something that even if Wiggins more there, they will still fall short of a championship.

Or Minnesota going into a rebuilding phase and kept him for at least 2 years and see how it blend.

Why do most of the players are happy when they signed with the New York Knicks? I just don't understand the idea behind it.
https://www.nba.com/news/kemba-walker-perfect-timing-in-moving-to-knicks

Quote

NEW YORK (AP) — The “Welcome to New York” signs decorating the outside of Madison Square Garden and hanging behind him were nice, though unnecessary.

Kemba Walker needs no introduction around here.

He’s a New York native who was already playing at Madison Square Garden in high school and made a memorable buzzer-beater during a historic Big East tournament run while playing for Connecticut.

Now he gets to see what he can do while playing there for the New York Knicks.

“It’s going to be better,” Walker said. “Ten times better.”

I knew Jordan loved playing at New York because of the crowd but never as an addition to their roster. It's the thrill of playing against them that makes him want to come back there over and over again.
Crowd clapping and cheering for you even if you are the away team as long as you amaze them with a record breaking game and something they didn't see for a long time.

I just its the thrill and atmosphere of the city itself, the Knicks, or Yankees, it's a historic team.

Lakers and Celtics are the two others cities which I know that can be name as such, the Forum, Staples center and then Boston Garden.

And with Kemba Walker, he is a native of New Yorker which makes this "welcoming" like sort of home coming for him.

I disagree with that, if you see his contribution in the playoffs, you might change your statement. I believe the talent is there, in fact, I'm impressed with his defensive skills but the only problem is his attitude as he anymore playing based on the rules of the game, he lose the sportsmanship and he was just too arrogant to think that he can guard and possibly hurt anyone.

Yes. He is one of the best in terms of defensive awareness and let us not take that away from him.
Some people are just looking at the ill attitude that he showed against CP3 when he lost his temper but that's emotion overflowing when you want the championship so bad.
I have been on that same feeling that's why I can't relate.
He doesn't mean any harm but CP3 also had a contribution on why it happened because of how he looked down on Pat at that moment.
Skill-wise? Pat Beverley is good with leadership as a bonus. Anyway, T'Wolves is a young team and might need a veteran so it's a good deal.

Yes, one of the thing that Pat Beverly can offer to the young Wolves, his leadership because he is already a veteran. I remember Gary Payton when he become a Lakers, he teaches Kobe more on defense and we can see Kobe improved and learn a lot from Payton that time (minus the trash talk).

As for KAT, I would say that they either rebuild the Wolves to win a championship or just be traded to another and be part of a super team.

The reason he was traded is not probably due to the decline of his performance, it's more like his attitude that he showed in the playoffs which is not acceptable for the NBA, I believe he was penalized on that.

I don't buy that but I guess the Clippers roster was just trying to make more improvement and I guess Bledsoe can make it.

Quote from: TravelMug on August 18, 2021, 08:02:20 PM

He is still one of the best defensive player we have in the league, no doubt about it. He can still shutdown anyone from guard to shooting guard. He has quick hands and can read the defense as well. But I think that problem with Bev is that he is sometimes too aggressive and uses more of his mouth that's why he will get a technical fouls or worst ejection.

He is and no one can deny that fact, look at Bookers field goal percentage in the WCF it literally dropped when he's being guarded by Pat Bev. I think he's just being him and that was his farewell message from his Instagram account.
