Warriors can't get Giannis, but one thing that is "just a bit" possible is to get Giannis to play with Doncic. That is going to be tough, and the playbook has to be quite solid because Doncic could be a shooter but he is not a lights out shooter, and he likes to drive inside, with Giannis liking the ball so much, Doncic liking the ball so much and potentially if they still have Irving then him liking the ball so much, you will have a team that is consisting of stars that want the ball in their hands.

We really don't know, but if there is smoke, there is a fire. Meaning, there are a lot of news of Giannis moving to Warriors, so it could be true or not but we will see. Perhaps it could still be based on Klay's performance? He could be a a trade bait next year, just saying.

Warriors would have been a better fit, but unfortunately that is not going to happen and that is why I think it should be important to remember that Giannis has to go to a team that is filled with shooters, even if not Warriors.

Any team will be a perfect fit for Giannis. He just need to surround himself with good players to win another ring. And maybe that's why he is pursuing the Warriors as they not just have a solid team, but they have the experience already with Steph Curry.

Agreed.  Pretty much any team at this point outside a couple of the younger teams would make them an instant contender.  That's how good giannis is.  But agreed a team with a lot of good 3 and d guys that could open up the paint is where he needs to be to flourish.  He is killer on the drive and doesn't need to be a spot up shooter.

Against a team with deadly offensive guards, GSW will be forced to bench CP3. Actually, it is okay to bench him since he is already 38 and will be 40 by the end of his contract. The issue though is that CP3 will be paid $30 million per year which is too high for someone to play 20sh minutes per game, especially during the playoffs if they can qualify.

Anyway, it remains to be seen if this GSW experiment will work. I still value young Poole over CP3 but I understand that GSW needs to let go of him since they prefer Draymond.
Yes, no doubt that Jordan Poole has a good contribution to them when they have a championship run. Nevertheless, last season was very different as Draymond and Poole has a scuffle prior to the season and it set the tone for the Warriors and then they completely collapse after the first round. I thought that the issues has been solved already.

But it seems that it was still very evident as we have seen Poole complaining every time he didn't got the ball and then he was bench by Kerr. As for CP3, maybe a good 10 minutes or even 15 minutes might be good for him as a Warrior as he is no longer at his prime and could also be prone to injury.
I would guess that keeping Draymond is a proof that there is going to be hard time for them going forward. Why is that? Well Poole was the one that got punched, but they still sent him away and did not back him up and just wanted to protect Draymond in that situation.

I can understand the loyalty because he is the guy they won 4 rings with and he is the master at the passing for klay and curry and memorized all the plays and does all the dirty things that others can't do to keep them clean etc etc. But that doesn't mean that other players will not see this and go "well I could be punched there and kicked off" and just not want to go there. I would guess this was a tough decision, they made the wrong one emotionally, but probably the right one by the team.
To be fair, we really don't know if that is the right or wrong decision for the Warriors. But obviously they have a choice and they put their money on the line for Draymond Green, because at the end, maybe the Dunleavy sees the contributions of Green to the Warriors and then Poole still very young and I would say his success put too much on his head.

So we will see if the right decision if the Warriors will go at least in the top 4 of the Western conference with CP3. That is the big question, but for Poole, since he is still young then he should move forward and become one of the best like Curry and Thompson.

For sure Seth Curry once played in the Golden State Warriors you can say he is no average player indeed, even though he is not an all star caliber he is something that can surely be a mini Stephen Curry, for sure with Giannis Antetokounmpo the team of the Milwaukee Bucks will be a different threat and for sure Seth Curry is still a blooming player with the age of 33 years old he is on the middle of his prime and likely still improving, so for sure this will be a Shining hope for the Milwaukee Bucks,


Honestly, I feel a bit sorry for Seth Curry, as he has always been in his brother's shadow. In his entire NBA career, he has changed 8 teams, and it seems he can't find the team that can bring him to his full potential. By the way, if you check his stats, you may notice that his prime was in the 21/22 season when he averaged 15 points per game. Unfortunately, his playing time was significantly reduced after the trade to the Nets, and he started to perform worse.
I would only feel sorry for him if he's actually as great as Steph and still get the playing time or recognition he deserves. They're not equally talented so someone will be on the shadows. One is a decent role player who probably reached his peak already while the other is a consistent game changer.

That is their reality and they can't do nothing about it as they already know that they cannot have it both ways unless both of them are really talented and skillful enough to become incomparable but we know that there are some cases where siblings have dominated a sports or some other fields but that's not very common and for the Curry brothers, they are just a regular siblings who only have one dominant player and the other one is just playing decent.

Yup, both players have their own talents  but they are being separated  by the impact that they are bringing to their team.

I agree that steph is far different from Seth as we all witnessing how they both performing, though Seth is trying but the success Steph already gained was already too far, Steph already being qualified  as one of those decent  superstar  who played the game.

Nothing's personal here; it wasn't the punching incident that led the Warriors to decide on trading Poole. Instead, it was his performance in the playoffs, which I believe was subpar or uncharacteristic of him. I assume the issue between them was already resolved since they played together during the regular season. However, Poole's inconsistency might have played a role, which no team would want from a player they invested a lot of money in.

Same with your take. Personally, I agree with that statement. His performance made the franchise trading him, they gave him Max
but instead of playing with that worth, he didn't show up, especially during the playoff.

Things that may solidify the decision of sending him out and find someone who can bring the same impact and possible to open some cap to acquire
another additional role players.

It's done and we may see the impact when the season starts, either we see Poole to become more successful or maybe
trading him will start to break his career down.

I don’t think it was his performance as much as it was his inability to listen and follow instructions. There is a clip going around of Draymond trying to speak to him as he’s coming off the floor only to be ignored, and then Steph tries to talk to him and it’s the same thing. Poole is a great player, but he couldn’t stick with the Warriors system and that’s ultimately what got him moved.

He will have less weight on his shoulders, as Curry, an MVP himself, can also carry the team. I would like to see this happen, as it would bring back the unstoppable Warriors.
He'll have someone who can he rely to and there's no doubt with that. Both have their own championship experiences and became champions so a combination of that and relying to each other's strength will definitely something big to get troubled with by other teams.

This is what everyone was talking about when Giannis expresses his thoughts regarding his relationship with the Bucks. Everybody wants to see Giannis and Curry play together. To be honest, Giannis addition to the GSW will automatically buy them a ticket at the finals and the Warriors will become relevant again. Could this be better than when KD was with the Warriors? That's what I was thinking about. Though for sure, this will open up a lot of wide open threes for Curry as Giannis can't be stop with 1 man defending the paint.

It will be an interesting comparison because we know that Durant did really improved the already strong Warriors in his arrival and while Giannis is also an unstoppable player who is also a scoring machine himself but it's still a mystery whether if their tandem is much more stronger compared to when Durant was with the Warriors. Anyway, we will see that soon if ever the Bucks cannot rectify something in their roster as that was the reason why Giannis made a sign about his future move in 24-25 season and I very much agree that with Giannis's arrival in the Warriors will definitely make the team much stronger compared to what they are now.

The Warriors are currently facing challenges unlike when Durant joined the team, when they were already dominant and had won championships. This time around, they find themselves in a different situation, where they're in need of a strong big man to regain their status as championship contenders. If such a scenario were to unfold, there's optimism that the Warriors could secure multiple championships before Curry's retirement. Considering Curry's age of 35, time might be limited, but the addition of a dominant big man could potentially rejuvenate the team's competitiveness and lead to successful runs in the league.

Curry and Giannis would definitely pose a threat to other superteams. Even the Suns, I don't think, could defeat the Warriors in the playoffs. Giannis improves when the players around him contribute to securing a win. He will have less weight on his shoulders, as Curry, an MVP himself, can also carry the team. I would like to see this happen, as it would bring back the unstoppable Warriors.


For sure Seth Curry once played in the Golden State Warriors you can say he is no average player indeed, even though he is not an all star caliber he is something that can surely be a mini Stephen Curry, for sure with Giannis Antetokounmpo the team of the Milwaukee Bucks will be a different threat and for sure Seth Curry is still a blooming player with the age of 33 years old he is on the middle of his prime and likely still improving, so for sure this will be a Shining hope for the Milwaukee Bucks,


What's up with Seth Curry? Is he going to transfer to the Warriors as well? Currently, he is playing with the Brooklyn Nets, averaging 9.2 points per game. However, his 3-point shooting is a significant threat. Are we going to see Curry playing alongside his brother and Giannis teaming up with his brother on one team?

That will be one of the clutch transfers that will happen for this era, yeah, it's an era because these two are part of this great era. Many would love to see them play together and win games together. I know that this could also be hype but we know how these two are individually playing and have brought themselves up with the team that they've been with for a very long time. It's Giannis who seems to be letting go from his team franchise where he'd stayed for a very long time. I think that Steph will always be a Warrior.

There's shooting outside and take it inside for Giannis, this is a monster duo, to be honest. So with all the rumors rotating that Giannis has some plans to exit the Bucks are going to be a pain in the ass of the team. His being an asset to the team would hardly be replaced by any other star. These two are always hungry to take the title for every season and that will push them for more.
I have been a Warrior fan ever since their dynasty started way back when they and the Cavaliers with Lebron are facing the NBA Finals 4x.

Regarding this scenario, it will never happen. Like I said, the Warriors don't have assets that are worthy to be traded in exchange for Giannis. Come to think of it. Who will be the players that will the Warriors will give just to get Giannis? Another one is that, will the Bucks want those players? The Warriors having Giannis is a dream come true for the Warriors fans because just think of how Steph and Giannis would be together, but in reality, this will stay as as dream because it will not happen.

Take note as well that the Warriors don't have cap space to sign him. Unless Giannis is willing to take a low salary for the sake of a championship (which is for me will not happen), then that's the only way for him to be going to the Warriors.
It's gonna be a mutual agreement but if it seems impossible to happen right now. If it's Giannis that has expressed his desire to get out of the team and wishes to get traded on his desired team, then it's up to the management if they think that it's gonna worth it. And it's all just about buying out the contract if he's still in contract with him, well, money talks if it's about these deals. But this is still a developing story of this trade and rumor, so we'll not know unless it comes.

He can still play as starter depends on how coach Kerr will design the play. I think Klay can give that spot and bring both Curry and CP3 to the starting unit.

Or maybe they have a good plan of placing CP3 in the second squad to bring good command while
Curry is resting, we don't know what's the plan is but for sure they already building and developing
chemistries to make sure that they are well prepared when the upcoming season starts.

In my opinion they can not afford in letting Stephen Curry and Chris Paul to play together for sure CP3 will be on the 2nd line up the thing that they got CP3 is because of that purposed to make him in the 2nd line-up and not together with Stephen Curry but for sure he will go with the 2nd line-up of the Golden State Warriors,


But if you look at it, Warriors had like Draymond Green, Looney and their recent addition in Saric to play the big center position. Only Looney though plays that spot and so if they wanted to have another center, Blake might not be a good fit even if he will be sign for a one-year contract.

Warriors should get a real center, 7'0 just like what they had in the past in their championship team to make it a complete roster. If I'm not mistaken, there are still a lot of good centers around that they can choose from, not a wash up player like Blake Griffin (no offense to his fans).

For sure the extra Center, Point Guard that is Chris Paul and some forwards are for the 2nd line-up rotation that the Golden State Warriors are preparing for the next season for sure they will need to keep the rotation and pressure alive when they likely make their other player rest, for a bit, for sure as Chris Paul is an Injury prone player so this is likely good for him in just getting into the 2nd line-up for sure he would be better paired with Jonathan Kuminga and Kuminga is a different beast right now,

Curry and Giannis would definitely pose a threat to other superteams. Even the Suns, I don't think, could defeat the Warriors in the playoffs. Giannis improves when the players around him contribute to securing a win. He will have less weight on his shoulders, as Curry, an MVP himself, can also carry the team.

Yes, that is indeed the reason why Jordan Poole was traded and not anyone else in the roster or Draymond Green. The punching incident was already buried and was not one of the factors why that specific trade took place. If only Poole showed consistency while everyone else in the team is giving their best, he could've remained as the Warriors and wear their jerseys again but since he wasn't, he can only blame himself because after having a good run, he then became a liability to the team.

Warriors will not trade Poole if he's consistent on his performance but he didn't achieve what their management expect so that one provably the main reason why Poole got traded. Thay punching incident is just additional factor since if that happen and Poole is contributing like a star player to Warriors for sure they will not let this guy go anywhere. I guess this is good trade done by then as they eliminate the huge salary of Poole and can give it to Green and to other more useful players on their team.

Nevertheless, last season was very different as Draymond and Poole has a scuffle prior to the season and it set the tone for the Warriors and then they completely collapse after the first round. I thought that the issues has been solved already.

But it seems that it was still very evident as we have seen Poole complaining every time he didn't got the ball and then he was bench by Kerr. As for CP3, maybe a good 10 minutes or even 15 minutes might be good for him as a Warrior as he is no longer at his prime and could also be prone to injury.
I would guess that keeping Draymond is a proof that there is going to be hard time for them going forward. Why is that? Well Poole was the one that got punched, but they still sent him away and did not back him up and just wanted to protect Draymond in that situation.

I can understand the loyalty because he is the guy they won 4 rings with and he is the master at the passing for klay and curry and memorized all the plays and does all the dirty things that others can't do to keep them clean etc etc. But that doesn't mean that other players will not see this and go "well I could be punched there and kicked off" and just not want to go there. I would guess this was a tough decision, they made the wrong one emotionally, but probably the right one by the team.

Nothing's personal here; it wasn't the punching incident that led the Warriors to decide on trading Poole. Instead, it was his performance in the playoffs, which I believe was subpar or uncharacteristic of him. I assume the issue between them was already resolved since they played together during the regular season. However, Poole's inconsistency might have played a role, which no team would want from a player they invested a lot of money in.

Yes, that is indeed the reason why Jordan Poole was traded and not anyone else in the roster or Draymond Green. The punching incident was already buried and was not one of the factors why that specific trade took place. If only Poole showed consistency while everyone else in the team is giving their best, he could've remained as the Warriors and wear their jerseys again but since he wasn't, he can only blame himself because after having a good run, he then became a liability to the team.

Against a team with deadly offensive guards, GSW will be forced to bench CP3. Actually, it is okay to bench him since he is already 38 and will be 40 by the end of his contract. The issue though is that CP3 will be paid $30 million per year which is too high for someone to play 20sh minutes per game, especially during the playoffs if they can qualify.
