LMAO! If a team is tanking or trying to be bad and the pick you to be on their team, tells you a lot about what they thought of you as an athlete! haha! should not of admitted that dude!!1
greg underrated w his hoops takes, not saying i didn't think he knew ab hoops but i like his takes and wld love to see him talk hoops more
He told the truth about Lebron being a liability on defense and we didn't see him for like 2 years
Couldn’t agree more.
His bball takes are so much better than everyone’s on speak
Alot better than Keyshawn. Key can only talk football
I think I remember them saying he played basketball in college at a pretty high level so he probably knows the game pretty well
It’s about time he put pressure on the organization. I can’t imagine a pro athlete of his caliber just sitting by year after year letting gms and scouts play a major role in the outcome of his career. He should have been even more blunt about it, his statement was passive.
Facts I’m all for players movement (not including forced trades) if the gm isn’t helping them
I mean, the team had the highest luxury tax for 4 straight seasons. They did do a lot for him already. To be honest, Steph has maybe 3 good seasons left. He has injury issues every other season (so there will probably be one this season). They're trying, but there's only so much they can do. They have a couple of good young players there. Should they mortgage their future for the 2nd round of the playoffs?
@@brandoni241 That’s true, and since they play such a massive role for his career, I hope he’s trying to make sure they don’t decide its best to do a 4 year plan to recover money and develop talent blah blah blah. There are cheap role players that can help him win now.
He has 4 chips lol my man said year after year as if he hasnt won anything 😂
So, you're saying he should take his talents to South Beach?
Bro finally got to play with Bron and said we gotta make this happen somehow 😂
hahahahaha...."naw bro i'm cool"
Steph for DLo, Rui and two 1st rd picks😅
hahahahaha…. naw bro i’m cool…
gotta add somebody else too to that trade for steph@gamechanger114
@@gamechanger114nobody wants d lo
Greg Jennings is lowkey a perfect fit with the show.
He implied that’s not gonna be the case. He wasn’t calling them bottom feeders. Yet.
The fact that he would even say what he said in the first place is a concern for Warriors fans. It implies that he knows deep down the best days are behind him.
@@dwill2187it implies that his favorite type of fish is filter fish
If you think Curry isn’t informed with every move GS from t office makes, you’re delusional. He knows before it happens. They are bottom feeders.
@@whatlurks_ which is why he literally said he doesn’t see that being a situation. I’m implying he doesn’t think they are now which I’m assuming is because he is talking to staff and they might make moves. Now if they don’t make a move then for sure they’re deep in the bottom half. I’m saying there’s a reason he said I doesn’t see that rn and the headline accentuated him bashing the franchise and calling them bottom feeders. That was my main point.
@@whatlurks_ also there’s a reason I put yet since free agency isn’t over.
It is freaking wild that Warriors front office seems to listen Draymond more than Steph.
Green has always been the soul of the Warriors even Coach Kerr says that ..in Green we trust. Go Dubs😊
@@user-ci9qi5do5p🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dray just talks more more than steph
It’s really Lauri or bust now for Golden State. It’s really now or never for the Front Office. Curry don’t wanna go out like Dirk or Kobe, to a lesser degree Kobe since he got injured like crazy towards the end. Lauri would pretty much put the Warriors back in contention and are probably a 52+ win team with Lauri. A bonefied 2nd star is the key for this Warriors team. They owe it to Steph to do whatever it takes to get Lauri.
Nice job filling in, Greg. Appreciate you!
Nick wants Steph to leave GSW so bad lol
Soooo bad. He hates that Steph is winning all of his rings in one place unlike someone else. 😂
I think he wants his beloved to win another ring, he can't stand that he doesn't even have as many as Kobe
@@Ambrizzle33think you might wanna change “winning” to the past tense.
This is why this whole “player x won on one team” narrative isn't infinitely more impressive than a player winning on multiple teams as guys like you would make it seem. (Unless you’re directing that praise more-so towards the front office).
When that “one place” was able to surround Steph w/ the prime Klays, Drays, & Kds of the world it was sweet, but now.. lets just say he's getting somewhat passive aggressive for a reason.
I like greg talking basketball he’s actually really knowledgeable
The reality is Steve Kerr's weakness as a coach is really beginning to show.
Kerr has a really good offensive system but it can be challenging for the young players to pull it off. A lot of the system require both player movement and passing leave them lost. It helps when they have a couple of veterans on the bench, the offense flows much better that way.
Just because Steph plays with childlike joy and exuberance, people forget he should rightly be considered an elder statesman and leader in the league-a game-changer with all-time legacy and a mover and shaker as much as he wants to move around.
Cant blame him. As the roater is constructed right now, starting to look like Dame's last days in Portland. The team keeps drafting and not trading picks, and keeps settling for rotational players.
Yeah but dame isn't a number 1 option on a championship team like curry.
Championship team??
Curry isn’t leaving and for Nick to say the Lakers is comical 😂.
Every player wants to play for the Lakers at some point in their careers, if possible.
@@penkima4923thats just definitively not true
@@nashawnhoward6805yes it is, players just don’t want the pressure of playing mid on a Bron team bcuz media only cares when it’s Bron. If you stink for Clippers who cares, stink with Bron and it’s highlighted. Players don’t want that
@professorbird1224 lol Both Melo and Aldrige were free agents and went to LA for a meeting and ending up signing with teams that weren't named the Lakers. So no not everyone wants to go to the Lakers. Matter fact who have the Lakers brought in not named Lebron or Shaq via free agency?
@@professorbird1224 just say you weren’t around for the clippers blowing 3-1 leads in 2015 and 2020 lmao
It's crazy to me how people overlook Steph's longevity. He has one of the toughest styles of game and is still doing it at a high level.
Toughest Styles of Game? Jeez! He run around screens and shoot 3s on the drible, some cuts to the basket, he doesnt play bully ball in the Paint or guard the other best player. Cool down
@@javigar133there’s a reason why there’s an unknown player who couldn’t do Steph’s work out. If what he does is so easy more people would be doing it and would be good at it. Oh and didn’t he send an NBA player to the hospital trying to guard him? We can hate on him all we want but the truth ain’t going nowhere.
Everybody wants to be like steph until they find out his workout routine.
@@javigar133 You try doing all that at a local park or gym pickup game, then try doing at an Nba level with even bigger court dimensions and elite competition!!!!!
Tough!? 😂😂😂
Good. Media needs to start the "Steph is leaving Golden State" rumor just like they do every single season with Giannis. Keep that same energy
Dude shut up lol nobody wants to be great and not make the playoffs lmao you sound like a fan boy
Giannis hasn’t accomplished what Curry has in the NBA. That’s why Steph gets more love than your average superstar and has played with just one team his whole career.
@@saucygyro the problem is y’all act like that means more than it does lol 😂
Y’all didn’t say nothing about all the other older stars leaving the teams that drafted them lol but hate is a strong a$$ drug
@@saucygyroI'm more talking about the Giannis side of all this. He seems to be the only superstar that constantly gets pressured by the media to leave his team, even right after he re-signs with the Bucks. Nobody really talks about "when is Embiid leaving the Sixers?" Or "will Luka leave Dallas?" The media can't stand the fact that Giannis actually likes Milwaukee.
The peak was so high after kd join the warriors nba reality hit harder in the way down…. Hope he finds a way to go out on top ….champion 🏆
Totally misconstrued his quote he was basically saying he thinks they are gonna be competitive this year
mmm i think they got it
They got it. Nobody said he wants out this summer. He just doesn’t want Lakob to put scrubs around him, like what happened to Beal in Washington.
Lol, you are clearly a GSW Fanboy 😂, it's ok mate, go dream
I’m sorry Lauri isn’t making them title contenders
Lauri gonna help them get top 6 and once they get into the playoffs, Curry gonna take over.
@@sloughcloud7547hell no
It depends on who is traded for. Klay and CP3 departure will help them improve most definitely. Mavs won the west and they are not that good.
@@UpShir67 Ouside of Jokic, Brunson, Shai, or Giannis, there is no single player acquisition that can vault the Warriors into the Top 4 in the West.
I mean they said that when Wiggins got there 🤷🏽♂️
that front office has failed him ever since they won in 2022. they've prioritized trying to stay young and won't make deals for proven talent bc they believe in life after steph and think kuminga is the next mj or something. and it's maddening when steph is still playing at a very high level and could win a title if they just would go for it and get him the second scorer/shot creator they haven't had since draymond punched poole
With JK I think it's more like he didn't have the trade value to bring that back until he broke out last year. But now you're in a position where even if you trade JK for LM you still aren't winning it all and LM will be 27 and shown he can't even take a team to the playoffs as a #1. I agree that they should have traded Wise, JK, and Moody the summer after 22 chip when they all had good value and together could have gotten you something. But that's on Bailout Bob.
Your crazy mate, they paid a ridiculous luxury tax 4 years in a row up to 2023, they couldn’t keep paying that forever
That's not true. Their were no great FA available from 2022 til now. The team can't pick up another offensive guy when the problem is Klay isn't the great 3&D player he use to be. Wiggins has reverted to Wolves Wiggins. Poole was bad at defense and also was Steph's backup not Klay's. No good centers were available for a trade they can afford. Also you forget that Klay, Steph, and Draymond used to be the young guys coming up. We can't let that weird coincidence of the new CBA with increased cap space and KD being available as FA trick you into thinking easy deals like that are always available.
Kuminga is just really athletic that’s it… not even good post up or three point shooter
@@tomanguyen fr. he has no handles, most of the time when he can't beat someone he loses the ball. all he has is speed and hops to dunk that's it.
3:32
Man this show is great 👍🏿
The professionalism is top tier!
Good for Steph, loyalty goes both ways, Damian Lillard found that out the hard way. If you stay loyal, and the organization doesn't stay loyal to you by always trying to win big, whats the point. Team's should always be retooling.
Dame didn't do great with Milwaukee
Dame ended up making Milwaukee worse
@@ChristopherR236 Dame didn’t make them worse, the subtraction of Jrue Holiday made them worse.
@@sakthithanigai5036 we are saying the same thing. Trading for dame lillard made them worse
Of course just adding hun free on a great team wouldn’t make them worse . But he is seen as treated as a much better player than Jrue. And he can likely lead a bad team future than Jrue could. But Dame isn’t a better player for a contender and doesn’t make good teams better the way Jrue does
@@ChristopherR236 ok but Dame significantly improved the bucks offense which before he arrived was below average. The bucks understandably so thought that Brook Lopez and Giannis Antentokoumpo were good enough defenders (both DPOY caliber) to help somewhat offset the loss of Holiday. It turns out they weren’t and now they need to rebuild the roster. To mask Dame’s defensive issues. They were also a first round exit 2 years ago, from the looks of it they aren’t worse, maybe just the same caliber of team.
It was over when they got rid of Jordan Poole.
I agree…..ultimate 6th man off the bench
Imagine saying 1 yr of somebody career is who they are but the other yrs aren't.
@@djadondaman17 Players progress gradually over their careers nearly without exceptions. Poole is a rare exception.
Ha ha ha ha ha
Draymond killed that team
I might shed a tear if curry goes to the lakers…. I NEEED THAT
What he's saying is warriors will not be a bottom feeder!
Love Curry for keeping it so real
If Steph moves the only spot I love him at is with Wemby with the Spurs 🤷♂️
Steph, Booker and KD would be a really fun thing to watch I think.
How is that gonna happen?!!!! 🤣 Suns have NO PICKS TO TRADE. Beal has a no trade clausw. Suns fans are delusional and dont even know the state of their own team.
Win win for both squads..
TRADE CURRY & Wiggins
Golden State:
Jamal Murray
MPJ
2 1st rd picks
Denver:
Steph Curry
Andrew Wiggins
Moody
Let Steph and Jokic show some of the best basketball ever possible.
I thought the Warriors were "light years" ahead of every franchise?
What happened to that? 😂😂
😮father time
I would love to see Steph and KD play together again
We all would!! Except the media
It’s the only way KD can win
@@vonyewest5807Steph Curry jealous of KD cuz you want an MVP
@@LordBranniganThebut yet u jealous in broke
@@user-oi3su7sw5n neither but it sounds like you’re projecting
With klay gone there is no more core. This is a different warriors team
Bron and Steph together would be awesome but I think Steph and Wemby would be deadly duo
The spurs already signed CP3 tho
@@dezz8598 On just a 1 year deal, Steph has 2 more years on his deal and would play at the very least the whole upcoming season with the Warriors
Steph teaming with Bron would ruin his legacy. That's why Bron fans suggest such nonsense. Teaming with your conference rivals is Bron's thing. Steph do your own thing.
@@Dryltd Wouldn’t ruin anybody’s legacy lmao, they’d be like 40 and 37….. you thinking I’m suggesting that so Steph would have his legacy tarnished because I’m a “LeBron fan” just shows how obsessed you are. From a purely NBA fan standpoint that would be cool to see lmao. If ANYTHING it would hurt Bron’s legacy not Steph’s, but it wouldn’t hurt either’s. There is nothing left to prove for either of them, their legacies can only get better not worse.
@@Dryltd Bron teams up with conference rivals? Wtf are you smoking? Steph was joined by his conference rival... are you projecting?
Steph in Minnesota with be crazy
He's just putting pressure on them as he should.
He has maybe 3 Very good years left. I wouldn't want to waste them and not even have a chance to compete for a title.
When you've won 4 titles you gotta have something to play for to be motivated and if that's not the case then what's the use.
I think they should trade him if they can't make this team better
Curry to the lakers
Lebron has been recruiting HARD.
Also I bet that trade Draymond hinted at was just Lavine involved.
Was thinking it was the PG trade.
Greatness personified
The team he'd be PERFECT with imo is Philly. Curry has never gotten the chance to play with real big. Him and Embiid would be dangerous
They should’ve traded Draymond and Klay right after they won if they had any guts. Wouldve gotten some young stars in return and Steph would be a 6x champion rn.
Best teams for him to go,
1.Timberwolves
2.Magic
3.Heat
4.Rockets
If he joined any of those teams they become contenders off the rip
take off the rockets & put lakers
Nick, you forgot to mention Kobe. Bean Bryant, who averaged over 20 points a game at 37. And scored sixty points on his last game.
After how many shot attempts?
Kobe got 60 because Utah let him
That game was a joke
@@FaceFamousdoesn’t matter. Don’t hate on beast mode within Kobe
@@tomanguyen Kobe put up 20 with tons of shots. Don't start an argument that leads to diminishing Kobe. Players were letting him get that 60, plus it was his last game so his teammates let him jack up all the shots, and he got hot. Kobe's legacy is the 2000s, period. And his mentality that transcended his play toward the end.
@@tomanguyenlol yeah shot attempts don’t matter 🤡
Don't mind seeing him in Denver
No way he demands a trade unless they fail to make the playoffs this year.
Trade Curry would be a win-win-win situation for GSW, Curry and the receiving team….
Steph and Lebron on the Hornets would be so fun
Bron isn’t playing anywhere else but La at this point
@@ChristopherR236 yeah I think you’re right
Steph being somewhere other than the Warriors is weird to picture and wouldn’t see it coming. But I also thought that about Klay 🤷♂️ different performance situations and legacies between Steph and Klay but still
I always believed draymond would've been gone already if mark Jackson stayed as coach because he would've developed steph as a passer which would've won them more chips in my opinion
🤣 no
Rob Pelinka going be looking like a genius when he goes gets Steph and didn’t trade all his assets for Klay Thompson or Jeremiah Grant
As a die hard warriors fan I wouldn’t want to see Steph in the shadows for the rest of his Career.. let the champ go and pick up another ring.
Honestly it would be best to leave for Curry and GSW
Warriors fan here. Trade that dumb Kuminga kid for Markkanen, or Steph will join LeBron next off-season.
Curry to the lakers would be the greatest thing to happen to the nba
I know it won’t happen but could you imagine steph on Orlando after this season? They would be filthy with steph and another year of development for Franz and Banchero! Seriously that’s a nice squad right there and I’d say a fringe contender but I’m sure steph would stay out west most likely
Steph to the Lakers
I can see Steph as a spur, barnes there, Paul and wemby and Kerr going there in two years
Unless pop is retiring in 2 years not happening
And I don’t think pop is retiring that soon
this sounds like ‘98 Bulls drama when all the contracts are up. wishing Kobe was still around to give dem fellas a word of advice…
I can see Steph playing over 20 seasons. Long as he stays injury free. Shooters last forever
There is no realistic course of action the Warriors can take to win another title for the rest of Steph's career. Steph's legacy is untouchable, the cherry on top is to be a Kobe/Duncan figure for the GSW franchise
This. People want to trade JK for LM so much but that doesn't make them into contenders. There is no move that does that. But the question is does he just want to compete for WCF and deep playoff runs and not necessarily a chip?
@Solo2121 if you aren't on OKC or Minnesota you aren't winning the West until 2027. Only move in the conference for Steph is Denver otherwise he won't compete
If steph plays well in this olympics it will put a tonne more pressure on the team to maximise his potential
Orlando would be a good team for Steph
There are a lot of teams that would love to have Steph, even if it's for a few years
You have to look at two sides of the issue. First, sure Curry would not want to finish his career playing for a bottom feeder. But also, that bottom feeder team does not want to let Curry languish. They would accommodate a trade to a contender to get some assets back for a rebuild.
Problem is, any team trading for steph would lose a lot of players. Since the Salary has to match.
If Warriors don’t land Lauri, then Steph should leave.
Steph needs to pull a Tom Brady and go to another franchise to win his next ring
I’m a diehard warriors fan….but how poetic would it be if draymond was the last remaining warrior. I’d hate to see Steph leave, wherever he goes, I go, but this warrior organization and the way they’ve handle the draymond situation over the past few years…it would almost feel deserved. We live in a world where we saw Klay Thompson walk before draymond. Wild
It’s all mike dunleavy fault fire him immediately
Nick doesn’t understand players don’t want to play with Lebron
Steph doesn't want to play there without Klay.
At this point, I'll respect Steph for joining Lebron 😂
The only sensible thing these stars of yesterday like Curry LBJ KD can do is to take a pay cut and join forces with another stars with good role players. They can take the max if they want another ring.
It's not Laurie, it's Lauri.
And even if his performance aren't great next year it probably not his fault because the team is a lot worst and people are free to hard double at half court with no consequence. You can't ask a 6"3 pg to beat all double teams for 40min 82 games. Not even if he is 20
That Nicolas cage looking guy looks and sounds goofy af
imagine at the end of his contract he teams up with lebron in LA for lebrons last year
Lol whats that 6 years from now?
@@gb59282 actually
basically saying to Lacob get me help or Im out.
Draymond has been carried by the Splash Brothers for years.Hes 1 of the most overrated players in NBA history.Just check the Warriors record with him playing without them.Facts.😊
"Letting Klay leave...." nah, the beginning of the end was Klay snapping that ACL.
Yeah the warriors are always big spenders. The problem was that paying klay and dray a max contract without them playing like a max player is detrimental. Similar with Wiggins. A big three only works if everyone in the big three actually deserves a max contract.
@Deerjason Rules have changed. They can't spend as much any more. That happened after the '23 season. The new NBA will be about depth through the roster.
Letting Klay go was actually smart by the Warriors. Ironically, he's like a clay statue on defense
Does GS need defense or scorers? Last season, Klay had one of the highest 3pt averages, and his overall scoring wasn't much different from what he averaged during their championship run. Ya'll talk like klay belongs in the G league or something.
I agree it was best for business
@@greeksun369 They need scorers that don't cost the price of Klay. It's that simple. If he isn't providing defense, then he is astronomically overpriced.
Dame waited too long to leave, Curry needs to leave now.
I’ve been saying this since they announced the team : lebron sole purpose is to try n get Steph with him n AD for one last run
Greg just described pretty much every Top 5 picks’ situation in any sport. They go from winning through HS and college to almost winless as a pro. 🤷♂️
Dude... trade MPJ and some some younger talent for Curry!!!
It won’t happen, but I would love to see him as a Sun.
We all know draymond doesn't want steph to have more rings than his daddy lebron. He rather wants to be suspended than playing. GS should get lauri then a timelord type to solidify their defense
I don't like the idea of steph and lebron together. Hear me out.. if lebron wins with steph, it only helps lebron's legacy... and if steph wins with lebron, it's basically a mute point on the argument that steph could be considered better than lebron. Im not saying steph is better etc. It's a different argument. Lebron getting another ring with or without steph helps lebron in the goat convo. Steph getting another ring with lebron hurts steph case in possibly being better than lebron, than steph winning another chip without lebron. Instead of lebron goat conversations, it would be lebron has less rings than steph, how is he (lebron) the goat? Make sense?
Let's get the Kobe thing right. He wanted to leave the first time to show he could win without Shaq. The second time, he was bluffing the organization, so they would do something. One thing about Kobe (Nick Wright) was that he was not into joining with no one, like the superstars of today
Steph it’s time the warriors aren’t going anywhere they aren’t putting good enough players around u to compete it’s time to switch
It was on Draymond's podcast, Jeff Teague was a guest on his
Draymond was on Teague's podcast a few weeks ago. This quote was from when Dray was on Teague's.
@@Solo2121 It’s one with Jeff on Draymond’s from like a week ago
I believe there's an important point to note about Steph. This could be the time for him to assert himself like Kobe did when he demanded a trade, rather than continuing to be the nice guy.
After the organization gave him everything? Kind of to late for that.
nah
Curry got more than he could ever dream of with GSW
He’s gotten every bit of what he earned
Steph Curry's impact on the worldwide appeal and worth of the Golden State Warriors surpasses even that of the Yankees. He wields the authority to voice his concerns and exert his influence on ownership, especially in light of Klay Thompson's offseason setback.
Curry to either LA or Miami .. only fits
Why would Steph go to Charlotte? They aren't competing anytime soon! 😑
Hometown
KD & LeBron join Steph for expendables 5. 😀
Aka, either gsw trade for Lauri or he is out the door, he just put it nice 😂
Thats why steph leaving him
The problem is the ownership. They do not understand basketball. You either re-build or reload. Reloading means you give up drafts and young players. Ownership wanted both.
They should have reloaded. None of those high draft picks panned out. Those could have been packaged for players that can deliver now.
Steph should have one more run left! Go for a Gobert trade, Golden estate. Time is running, need to act fast and make it to the top one last time.
Curry is great.
Team USA is the precursor to Superstars changing teams ALWAYS
