He didn’t push KD out, kd was looking to leave the team and that was a big reason draymond went at him. He pushed Poole out but who cares about Poole lmao.
green helped them get 4 championships, he didn’t push kd away. Poole maybe, but either way the warriors had to make a move and get rid of his horrible contract
Since Amen Thompson is in the Starting Lineup it opened everything for the Rockets. Jalen Green and Amen Thompson are now the Lead Ballhandlers and Playmakers on the Team.
This is what they do. Do you expect better. Did you remember the pod they did on December 29 2023 where he was saying he is not sure Scottie will be an All Star? Even when Bon Temps pointed out he believes he will & was pointing out the numbers? At the time SB was averaging 23.5/ 9/6 w/ almost 3.3 STOCKs (blks +steals ) /gm and shooting 42% from 3 on almost 5 attempts/ gm on a variety of 3 not just C&S. He was playing beyter than Cade, Mobley, etc are doing now & he was hesitant to give Barnes his flowers but now they are riding Cade & Mobley. None of those guys has ever played w/ 4 rookies / gm at any given time in their career. That's what SB is doing most nights. Raps FO is looking to tank . Not win gms & so therefore the line ups / night or rotations will make sure that's the case.
Hated Steph’s comments. Imagine if MJ had a press conference talking about how the long term organizational goals were more important than competing right now when you have one of the greatest players ever on your roster. Nobody is saying that their very next trade move has to push them over the top of the Boston Celtics. Just be competitive and go for it. Make some moves. That’s SPORTS. But the Warriors are absolutely stagnant right now, so afraid to make literally any meaningful change; acting like if they fail they’ll have to sell the team to Erie, Pennsylvania.
being an NBA GM in 2025 isnt as simple as "just be competitive and go for it". who should they trade for? most of the strong teams now were built gradually via the draft (thunder, cavs, rockets, magic, grizzlies, nuggets). most of the teams with aggressive front offices that have prioritized "competing right now" are struggling (suns, lakers, sixers) and have no future. there was no second apron when MJ played and I have a feeling Steph understands how the NBA works better than you or I do
@ But the key of what you just said is that there are some teams with aggressive front offices who aren’t struggling right now. Again, that’s sports. Sometimes you take risks for the sake of competition, especially when you have one of the greatest players to ever play the game on your roster and he’s still capable of giving you prime performances. So if the GM wants to come out and talk about long term, fine. Then the GM should trade Stephen Curry to a better situation; the assets the organization would get back for Steph and Dray would be substantial. But don’t give me this “apron” talk while they’re trying to hold tightly to Stephen Curry but also not planning on giving him anything to go to work with.
@@kraw3026It wouldn’t be hard for them to trade Steph and Draymond. If the financial situation is really that dire, why not thank Steph for his services and send him to a situation where he can compete? That’s a win win, but the FO wants their cake and they want to eat it too.
@@SojiFro_0 I think both things can be true though 1) Recent history has shown aggressive roster building with trades is unlikely to vault a team from the play-in to a contender. theyve made some savvy acquisitions since last season that haven't hit (kyle anderson, buddy hield, dennis schroder). I disagree with your assessment that Joe Lacob is simply a coward, unaware of how special steph is. they have a solid roster IMO 2) Trading Steph Curry is a terrible idea. Even if they don't expect to win another chip with him they still want him on the team for the sake of the organization
It's amazing how all these 'NBA Pundits" (especially Bontempts) keep saying Jonathan Kuminga is a trade piece when he's been the second best player on the team for most of the last month of the season unitl he got hurt. One of the reasons the Warriors really suck right now is because JK isn't playing. Look at some of his game logs before he got injured.
The expectation from Jalen Green is to be a player that draws traps and the way he played the last Memphis game says that you should either let him shoot the three ball or trap him. If you try to go over the screen in a high pick-n-roll, he is beating the big man to the cup with that amount of distance to the basket. He is one of the fastest in open court. So, when the trap comes you get off the ball and dump it to Sengun and let him play 4 on 3 basketbal with Amen leaking to the dunker spot from the baseline and Fred and Dillion ready to trigger from three on the wings. Jalen's performance is the thing that will unlock the next tier of Rockets offense.
Jalen Green is going to be a Great Player. He is Durable, he plays through injury, he plays defense, his quickness is elite. Amen Thompson and Jalen Green pairing and Reed Sheppard is unstoppable.
I really dont think the Pistons should make any moves this season, the chemistry with these guys is amazing and they are only beginning to improve! We've suffered long enough, no need to rush the process now, we are improving! Let's go Pistons!!!
What he saying is “don’t make no moves to deplete our future for me” just trade me and get the pieces to keep building winning organization in the future.
They had to cut after MacMahon said "I am starting to wonder if it wasn't all Darvin Ham's fault" because it was so funny Brian probably laughed too much and Lebron wouldn't like that, so they had to edit it out
Steph has confidence that shots will eventually fall and defense will come together. Dray said same thing about future of team early in season. Will be relevant.
I think everyone overreacting I think he is saying we are fine we are right there with him taking a backseat overall to start the year. Look for Steph curry usage rate to go up towards and after the all star break
Because 2025 and 2026 draft is stacked with talent Also about the Tim Duncan Spurs, they are still a contender in his twilight stars because they had a Kawhi Leonard back then, Bontemps had a point, not gonna lie. Steph and company hasn't found their version of Kawhi, which can lead a team even if he is in his twilight years.
Steph also said the Warriors are "very average." And about 1/2 way thru the season, he ain't wrong. They 12th in the west at 19-20. Assuming they seed, who can they realistically defeat 1st rnd?
The NBA has gotten young fast and long. And the shooting is precise. If you dont have these ingredients, it's hard. .I go Moody and Podz for Dejante Murray. Trade Dray for a 1 pick to Detroit. Resign De Melton.
If hes so worried about the teams future he should request a trade so they can get assets for him. Why would he be in favor of perpetuating their midness by not wanting them to makes trades but also wanting to stay there
Warriors should trade Wiggins two seconds to bulls for vuc kuminga looney podz a 2032 pick swap and second for Herb Jones and alvarado moody gp and 2029 first for Jonathan issac start Curry Herb jones Jonathan issac Draymond Vuc/ all defender curry and vuc the scores with a mix of shooting and defense on bench guarantee a ship
And do what? Move Steph whilst he takes bad shots and doesn't defend? He's the exact opposite of a Warrior, which is probably why he purposely tanked his interview.
Why is Brian always wrong when recounting a game or a stat? Almost to the point it’s a talent to be this consistently incorrect. Thankfully the Tims are here to correct him.. shows just how little actual basketball he watches and understands and purely makes his opinions on scouts and front office insiders rather than actual ball knowledge. Think he should move to purely being the host and moderator and let the Tims speak on basketball, maybe when a contract extension is happening Brian can chime in as you can tell that’s what he really enjoys but I have to block him out when he tries talking about the game on the court.
There are no Real Stars in the League that are in the Trade Market. DeAaron Fox will stay with the Kings with a SuperMax. Doug Christie is a Great Coach. Devin Booker is the Suns Franchise Player he will stay.
This is extremely lazy analysis. The warriors don't need a better player than Steph to contend, they just need better players and better fits. 2 years ago, the Lakers got Rui, Vando and DLo at the deadline and went to the WCF. In 2022, the Celtics were sitting at 21-21, traded for Derrick White and went to the NBA finals. The warriors have the assets to get better if they want to but they have to want to be better!!
Steph being so selfless is detrimental to the Warriors, cause he doesn't realise that they're never getting a player like him back in the Bay, and the probability of building another dynasty like this is slim to none, so there's no other option but to capitalise on the present.
That is mental, and this is exactly the kind of thing he's talking about. The dynasty is done, it has been for some time. Throwing all your assets at something or someone that categorically gives them zero chance of winning a title is a waste of everybody's time and effort.
It was never Darvin Ham's fault nor of Frank Vogel's. It always comes to what LeBron wants and if it doesn't work out he hangs all the blame on the coach or some X,Y or Z and walks away.
I blame Green! He pushed KD and Poole away
Exactly. Draymond backpack green
Smacked Poole away
This is not being said ENOUGH 😊
He didn’t push KD out, kd was looking to leave the team and that was a big reason draymond went at him. He pushed Poole out but who cares about Poole lmao.
green helped them get 4 championships, he didn’t push kd away. Poole maybe, but either way the warriors had to make a move and get rid of his horrible contract
Since Amen Thompson is in the Starting Lineup it opened everything for the Rockets.
Jalen Green and Amen Thompson are now the Lead Ballhandlers and Playmakers on the Team.
The fact that Amen didn't start for them last year was wild. He is so talented. He's way ahead of Jalen Green in impacting wins already
3:18 😂
“Thank you have elderly Mrs. Doubtfire voice”.
Warriors wouldn't be in this position if they didn't draft Wiseman.
Or let him develop at all
It was Currys way of saying "Dont do anything crazy and bring that team cancer Jimmy Butler to my team!"
Coz getting Jimmy would cost them a lot, especially on the youngens. Need to give up JK, Podz/Moody
Windy, Toronto wasnt even that cold. It was colder in Milwaukee, NYC and Minnesota on Monday lol

Rockets GM Rafael Stone have stated that they are not trading. Thay are staying with this Core.
please fire Tim Bontemps, the fact that Zach Lowe got fired and not Bontemps is insane
Why, I’m lost
Agreed
With the success of Houston and the failure that is Philadelphia can we all agree that running a team based solely on analytics doesn’t work
Let me analyze that and get back to you
WIndy finally going through puberty?
Windy sounds even more like Mrs Doubtfire today 😅
Bring Durant back
I thought the same thing but has forgotten that Kd and And Green hate each other
@ winning makes that up

It's incredibly stoppable. Two of them can't shoot, and the other isn't playing.
@@kb5509 hahaha this was the craziest glass half full take
I think people are way to hard on him and forget he’s only 22 he’s still a very very young player so I think he deserves more patience
@ you get about 3 years of patience in the league. He on number 4 so he has to show progression
@@Shortballa11this sounds dumb you do know lebrons probably the only player to come in the league at 18 and be successful immediately right ?

Detroit about to be title town
💯
Let it ride for the rest of the year with Houston, they’re deep enough to withstand most short term injuries.

this is the difference between lebron and curry
It strikes me as a similarity.
There's a few differences...
Steph is clearly quitting on his team
LeBron is still somehow better than Steph
Curry understands that he’s finished, LeBron is still top 10
U right ones a loyal fool the other a real business man
@@he4tl1f3r2Lebron ain’t sniffing another ring pal. And he has ANTHONY DAVIS on his team. Lmao
Steph has confidence that shots will eventually fall and defense will come together. Dray said same thing about future of team early in season. Will be relevant.
its wild how much hate Green gets from ppl who never played basketball and just provide "analysis" by reading numbers
I think everyone overreacting I think he is saying we are fine we are right there with him taking a backseat overall to start the year. Look for Steph curry usage rate to go up towards and after the all star break
Curry is the warriors. The need to fire Kerr. He has no idea how to coach a team that isn’t full of talent
CURRY WASHED UP NOW
HE MIGHT, BUT AT LEAST HE HONEST BOUT HIS & DUBS SITUATION .
He not washed up yet, but he is declining
Because 2025 and 2026 draft is stacked with talent
Also about the Tim Duncan Spurs, they are still a contender in his twilight stars because they had a Kawhi Leonard back then, Bontemps had a point, not gonna lie.
Steph and company hasn't found their version of Kawhi, which can lead a team even if he is in his twilight years.

Didn’t Windhorst disrespect the warriors by calling one of their victories a checkbook win?
Did Draymond Green kick Windy in the lower region.
The NBA has gotten young fast and long. And the shooting is precise. If you dont have these ingredients, it's hard. .I go Moody and Podz for Dejante Murray. Trade Dray for a 1 pick to Detroit. Resign De Melton.
Steph always been a real one... respect the greatness
If hes so worried about the teams future he should request a trade so they can get assets for him. Why would he be in favor of perpetuating their midness by not wanting them to makes trades but also wanting to stay there
Would we consider having Golden State tank to get Cooper Flagg?
That's hilarious. Do you actually think Steve Kerr wants Cooper Flagg? Kerr JUST STARTED giving Kuminga consistent minutes in his 4th season 😂
Lacob's new cash cow if they get the top pick this year. But hey, you can buy tickets to watch JK being inconsistent and TJD blowing layups
🚀🚀🚀
Zach Lavine is 29 years old with a broken leg, bad knees, bad feet. Zach misses the whole season or most of the season.
Warriors should trade Wiggins two seconds to bulls for vuc kuminga looney podz a 2032 pick swap and second for Herb Jones and alvarado moody gp and 2029 first for Jonathan issac start
Curry
Herb jones
Jonathan issac
Draymond
Vuc/ all defender curry and vuc the scores with a mix of shooting and defense on bench guarantee a ship
Did this trade idea a lot
Rubbish. Lamelo Ball should be a Warrior right about now.
And do what? Move Steph whilst he takes bad shots and doesn't defend? He's the exact opposite of a Warrior, which is probably why he purposely tanked his interview.
Draymond would punch Lamelo for sure lmao. Warriors play professional unselfish ball and buy into the system. Lamelo not doing all that lmao
Windy sounds like RFK jr.
Why is Brian always wrong when recounting a game or a stat? Almost to the point it’s a talent to be this consistently incorrect.

If curry really meant this, he would’ve took much less on his contract to give the Warriors more flexibility
Why the hell these guys not mentioning that the Dubs have done nothing for the last 3 years lol! I expected better from atleast Windy!
Curry says he loves to compete. Yall don’t have enough. At all. Wth
There are no Real Stars in the League that are in the Trade Market.
DeAaron Fox will stay with the Kings with a SuperMax. Doug Christie is a Great Coach.
Devin Booker is the Suns Franchise Player he will stay.
Based on what? He's coached 6 games.
Golden state can still get someone good and give up wiggins moody and picks
You guys need better nba topics
Woo hoo! First like!!
What if curry said that because he plans on leaving GSW 👀 an doesnt wanna leave the team with norhing
Suns are done
incubate
