They just need to lock in for a 5 min stretch and put game pressure now

Think this is a game you try to see if Green plays the 5 and Kyle the 4? Have to go smaller out there to keep up; no GP2 sucks with Monk killing

Lmao Butler would NOT make a difference in this situation. They are just getting cooked by the Kings’ speed time and time again

I just don’t understand the approach. Came out of the game just hoisting threes against a team that has zero shot blocking in the front line

The NBA has a big problem in that they don’t have enough qualified officials to assume these crew chief positions since more experienced guys tend to leave for the “rules analyst” roles on TV. This 3 person crew tonight was way in over their heads and it showed badly.

Yep and you can fire up the 2K franchise and play star ball like they’re doing over in Phoenix. Aside from the fact that your salary numbers don’t work (Butler makes 2X as much as Wiggins so other pieces would be required)…again Phoenix is in 12th right now and looking terrible with 3 “stars”

So we’ll agree to disagree because I think Wiggins fits the system better than Butler would, on the court and in the locker room. If anything, he has been a central part to success this season rather than a problem - the bigger issue was a secondary ball handler and bench production

You can’t play Butler, Kuminga and Green together: there is no spacing.
The reality is you don’t view Wiggins highly in terms of his value to the Warriors. The same reason why he wasn’t moved in 2021 for Beal or Simmons - or why he wasn’t moved last year - is why they don’t want to move him now.

You’re not getting to the playoffs at all if it takes Wiggins, Kuminga and several other assets to make the deal happen. This conversation is going nowhere - we’ll see what MJD wants to do but it seems clear they share the same outlook that I have

And trading for Butler gets you exactly where Phoenix is right now: 12th in the West and in salary cap hell for the next several seasons.

Who says they’re standing pat? They made the move for Schroder and I think they’ll make a second move for Vucevic by the deadline. That gives you enough balance on offense between Vucevic, JK, Schroder and Wiggins to shoulder a significant part of the burden in support of Steph.

So moving for Butler and it blowing up not only costs you this year but it effectively ends any chance you have to win the rest of Curry’s career because of the financial consequences under this CBA.

The goal is to identify the most plausible path to contention. The conclusion is that a trade for Butler is not the most realistic avenue to achieve that goal. There’s no guarantee they win by keeping JK and Wiggins…but there’s no guarantee plopping Butler on this team does either

And you think Curry and Butler making 60% of the cap alone is pushing them further to contention?

I also wouldn’t be surprised if it’s because Jenkins’ entire gameplan is centered on the junk defense versus Curry. Would be a waste of time for Steph to run around against face guarding defense for 30 minutes

Hope Kerr gets sick or ejected early so that Stotts can install his own offensive gameplan

I would like to see Wiggins be more efficient and hit his 3s but I don’t mind when he’s off as long as he defends like he did last night.

And now Wiggins slumping from 3, which makes it important to get something - anything - from Hield and Schroder

He was in the initial end of 1H stint when they made a run, then came in mid 2H for a quick stint (so wasn’t exposed to as much of a negative stint).
It doesn’t matter: he has not played well and I think he needs to have a quick hook if he’s not making shots in his first 2H stint
