💯i don't get the disrespect for moody...he works hard, doesn't complains and has had strong playoff performances. he's a way better defender than podz. what does the poor guy have to do to earn some PT?
I agree with the suggestion of starting Moody. Podz could be a great backup point, which we otherwise don't have... The other option next to Curry could be a rejuvenated Wiggins which would allow JK to play the 3.
Andrew Wiggins getting that fire back would literally mean he would average 19 6 and 4 on 47/45/80 which is a lot better than klay. That numbers actually go up by about .8 in the playoffs which is pretty good too,he would also Cook everyone as A SG.
I like both Podz and Moody, but I hope they either give Moody more minutes or trade him. He hasn't really had the chance to shine even though he always seems to be beneficial for the team in the few minutes he gets. It's not that I want Moody to be traded, but I rather see talented players get a chance to prove themselves
Yeah. Sadly, Moody may be on the way out. Podz is the priority. It has a lot to do with his contract. Podz is locked up. 3 more years at $13million, total. Kuminga wants $40million per. Not sure what Moody is looking for. But he and Kuminga would be free agents at the end of the year. Kuminga has to play out of his mind to get that deal. May lose them both. Still a real possibility one or both is traded, for that reason.
The podz disrespect is crazy. Anyone like me who watched EVERY game last season can see that this is much deserved. Podz takes good shots, makes tough and clutch shots and can play defense and head a high iq. He was easily the steal of his draft class
@@ShawnBlixk 😜...And he poddy 🚽's white...right... PRIVILEGED!!! Play him instead of KLAY AND LOON ( Ended Loon's Iron Man streak and had KLAY coming off the bench for him, Please) only in amerikkka! OVERRATED 😡
@mustafamujahid1929 we not gone make it a race thing. I'm black so my pov was not based on race but statistics and the eye test. Podz didn't just make an all rookie 1st team for no reason CLEARLY da overall consensus in the league was that he was a top 5 rookie last season. That definitely holds sum type of weight

Podz is awesome I understand. But moody deserve the start. He fits on the line up better. A willing defender, crazy wingspan and super efficient. Podz should lead the second unit the pg
I don’t know what exactly is super efficient about Moody’s numbers or percentages. 36% from 3 is slightly above average not super efficient. Moody isn’t a great 3 point shooter and he isn’t exactly Uber athletic like most young guards. If he shot 38% from there like Podz he might get the start. Moody needs a trade.
@@Kdavis227What isn't efficient about Moses is His lack of opportunity, Just like Jonathan! When Jonathan's opportunity rose He Rose Too...They Both need outta golden state!
Been saying it all off-season since the dubs didn’t trade for Lauri: they are gonna really need Podz and Jk to take next steps in their development for this squad to stay competitive and keep these young guys as worthwhile trade assets. Pods has a lot of upside but enough to replace Klay Thompson. I’m not so sure. Great video swish can’t wait for basketball season to start again and get back to those live streams 🫡🔥
By all means Moody needs More Playing time as it appears That he is Always Ready when thrown in to any game and dropping Three's like it's OK- As He Stay's Ready - Start Moody
I think Podz should be replacing CP3 position as PG. In his peak CP3 was a scoring PG. That's the best trajectory for Podz. I think that Moody's main goal should be as a starter. The starting line-up could be - TJD,Dray,JK/AW,MM and Steph. In the 2nd unit would be Kyle A, AW/JK, Hield, Melton, Podz with GP2 and Loon as special backups.
Hield not starting to replace klay?? I thought that’s why they got him. I don’t know much about him but if his shooting % is what they say it is, and his defense is decent, I think they have a chance.
This is the ideal scenario for me. I see Podz as a PG long term, so why not let him grow into the role. I really hope both him and Moody perform for us this season
thing I love about Podz is that he rebounds doesn't bother how tall his opponents are his right in there not only that he can make an impact plays out of nothing
Don't get me wrong I love Podz he's the best rookie I've seen for the Warriors since Steph but what has Moody done to Kerr? Kerr doesn't trust Moody at all and he isn't that bad the kid only needs MINUTES. Kerr elected to play Ty Jerome and I don't remember the names of the other players over Kuminga and Moody. Think how much further they could of been with their development right now if Kerr had given them MINUTES. 😢

Finally defensive rating - Podz 115.4 and Moody 115.3. Basically the same, but technically Podz is 1/10 better. Point being objectively Moody is not superior to Podz in meaningful defensive metrics. Overall, objectively based on basketball metrics, and subjectively based on Rookie 1st team honors, there is nothing to support Moody starting over Podz unless somehow he was felt to have better chemistry with the other key starters, which is not the case.
Not disagreeing with your overall point, but do have a suggestion: When you show Podz’ ranking in counting stats, it would be more. meaningful if you did it on a per-36 minutes basis to even out the obvious effect of playing time. You might also want to set a minimum minutes to weed out flukey stats from meaningless to the discussion guys like Spencer. Finally, saying Podz was 1/10 better than Moody was incorrect; Defensive Rating is a stat where the lower the number, the better.
It's the minutes that's going to be the biggest dilemma. There's no way that podz, moody, Melton and Hield ALL get adequate minutes to build a consistent rhythm throughout games. Not to mention minutes for GP2 and Waters 😂
Podz hate is wild in these comments. Maybe the video should have mentioned Podz led the team in total rebounds and outpaced Steph;s +/- by over 70. Seems significant to me.
The podz hate is because he is not better the Moody and we can't see how the hell he leap frogged him! And all you have you have to do is look at the Knicks Game when Bronson was cooking Podz ass Moody came in and shut him down
Everyone misses the fact that at the start of last season they had the chance to get rid of klay and keep divincheenso and probably wouldve had enough money to get someone else. Instead the got rid of divinchinsho and kept just klay.... After dante hit 11 threes in a game for NY right after was probably a real kick in the nuts.
he's a bum compared to young Klay and old Klay...but he will start because he's the coach's pet. Justice last season! And the main reason why Klay left!
Podz is a 1, not a 2. The Warriors have the pieces but keep jacking up the rosters. Team 1: Steph, Moody, JK, Green, Davis Team 2: Podz, Hield/GP2, Wiggs/Anderson, Waters, Loon
I knew he was gonna be good the minute I saw his father speak about him, how he was an army kid that will take any and all orders without question (no ego) he's the next franchise Cornerstone cause he's unselfish, I'm never giving him up
Moody is so much better than podz its not even funny, kerr just can't seem to allow him to play. He's a much better on ball defender, runs faster and overall shoots better (has been consistently above 57% TS). Podz is great for a rookie don't get me wrong but I've seen a lot of moody balling tf out and kerr sitting him for the rest of the game for no reason whatsoever, which for SURE negatively impacts his efficiency numbers.
Funny coz Podz disrupts the warriors transition offense because he's hunting for the defensive rebounds instead of running back as a shoooting guard, he' aslo hunting for assists instead of just passing it right away to the right player.. Podz also go for the risky steal instead of defending as part of the team..
Podz will not be a full replacement for Klay, at least in his current state, no shot. He plays with too much energy where his fitness isn't there towards end of games. You can see it when he logs heavy minutes, his legs aren't there on shots. There's no way he can maintain his pace of play plus attempt 10 3pointers a game at some respectable efficiency.
Maybe he is putting in the grind during the summer, knowing Steph's conditioning and knowing that Podz wants to be like him and does everything to achieve that Podz should have insane stamina in the future.
the warriors want podz to be the guy because podz is mike dunlevy’s guy. that’s the guy that he picked. moody was selected by bob myers. that’s why the warriors were totally fine with just letting klay walk because dunlevy doesn’t give a shit that’s not his guy. bob myers would never allow klay to just walk especially when he wasn’t even asking for a lot, $40m/2y is very affordable for a player like klay.
Getting rid of most of those bad running hook shots and replacing them with easier 3s and mid range jumpers should improve Pods offensive impact and that of the team. But if they give Podz so much emphasis in the offense at the expense of JK I think that will be a huge mistake. Yes Klay's shooting needs to be made up for to some degree even if he was horrible last season. Spacing is of course a thing. But the one thing that has characterised the GSW offense the last few seasons has been a complete inability of anyone not named Steph to consistently apply pressure at the rim. JK obviously has in spurts but that needs to be further developed as well as doing more to get TJD involved in the offense too. simply bombing away from 3 as a team because you have few opportunities to try and get to the rim or even try and collapse the defence is just going to be a recipe for another mediocre season. Podz should absolutely be shooting more than he did last season but if he's regularly taking more shots than JK I have little faith that will equal a better offense.
I think podz can do it but what they did to moody is criminal... why does kurr not play his good pieces? it feels like he promises minutes to bad people and then doesn't look for people who have shown up consistently ;-; but good shit podz def deserves his flowers hope they can do the same for gui
Moses is a BETTER player than PODS... End of story. Kerr is going to play Moody 15 mins a game , If i was Moody and JK i would ask for trades. Why does'nt Steph state his position ?
As currently constructed, the most logical line-ups for GS should be...: Starting Unit Steph, Hield, Wiggins, Kuminga, and Draymond Second Unit Melton, Podz, Moody, Anderson, and TJD Reserve Unit GPII, Waters III, Hinson (over Santos), and Loon being the plug-n-play roll players and situational needs from game-to-game. At some point, replace Santos with Blake Hinson, and consider trading Wiggins, Loon, and Moody for a legit rebounding and shot blocking BIG such Clint Capela or another proven 3&D Wing such as Cam Johnson, making room for Quinton Post, who'll more than likely be on a 2way along with Plowden, Beekman and/or Spencer at the start of the season. These types of sublte adjustments and moves would balance the roster out and truly return the GSW to Stength in Numbers.
They need to let Moses start at the beginning of the season to give him a fair chance, and if they expect him to perform well by the playoffs. They already know what they have with Brandon and if Moses can't get the job done in the beginning of the season, Brandon can step in and Moses will have to go.
Definitely not. His jumper is straight cheeks. It’s not even a sure thing when he is wide open, much less when his shot is contested. He wants to be treated like he’s KD, but he doesn’t have any of those upper level skills.
Pods is supposed to be a point guard. He really doesn’t seam to be a “run the offense” kinda guy. Moody needs to play more co distant minutes. He is a far more gifted athlete than Podz, why push Podz into being a 2 guard instead of being the second team general🤷🏻 Play Moody or Trade him so he has a chance to play while he’s still young.
You have to remember, this is a experiment. If it doesn't work, Moody should become the starter, and Podz comes off the bench ,and plays his natural game

BP is ok but he was trying to do to much with the Summer league team ?when he was able to play . I'm concern about him going foward because his head have gotten to high up in the sky. He remind me of Poole when he was there ?BP wants to be Steph that's dangerous? Jordan wanted to become Steph as well ?????🤔
Imo I would start: Steph, Buddy, Wiggins, Dray, TJD (or Looney, if he shoots more) 2nd unit Podz, Moody, JK, Slow Mo, Looney If we let go of JK I hope we keep Moody. But I’m excited to see how Plowden can help the team
No hate, i love both these players but Moody offers better defense and is a decent 3 pint shooter. He kept the Dubs in games last season! Perhaps Podz at 2 and Moody at 3? Wigs off the bench
@AllStarKydd Klay did it, albeit for part of the season but gotta look at what makes sense for the betterment of the team. Wigs should have been traded in the off-season. Problem is his value isn't worth his contract
@@caliagent55 Paying a player $30M/szn to come off the bench is not a “better” situation. That would create issues in the locker room. Especially when it comes to negotiating future contracts. This is why they were having issues with Klay, who was getting paid $40+M/szn. There are many things being juggled to maintain “Performance Flow” on a team. It’s not only about what happens on the court
@AllStarKydd true. Off the court Wigs has been going through some things that have been detrimental to his work performance. Moody has been increasingly reliable and improved his productivity season on season. The lack of consistent playing time and defined role could have and adverse effect on his confidence and mindset. I'd prefer the Dubs do something to instill confidence in Moody and allow him the opportunities I believe he deserves and has earned in his tenure with the Warriors. I'm not in the front office nor know anything about the Financials of a pro basketball team. Just thinking about how best to utilize the ascending player, and the one whose not as consistent the last two seasons.
Podz & MM both have a ton of talent. Currently Podz brings more to the team & the players around him. That doesn’t mean MM can’t surpass Podz or any other player in time. However, currently Podz is the better starter & Moody should get more minutes - both can be true & are not mutually exclusive. As the season evolves this could flip. Hard to predict what will happen. Certainly, at the beginning of last season few to no one predicted Podz working his way into 26 mins per game or TJD dunking on Wemby. Part of the fun & why we watch - all the potential good surprises. I don’t think the video outlined a bad plan, but time will tell.
Podz is a terrible choice for the starting five. He is a defensive liability. The guard on the floor with Steph has to be able to guard the other team’s best offensive weapon in the backcourt. The best options are most likely, Melton and Moody. This crazy Podz “Hype” is gonna cause them miss any opportunity to maximize Steph’s final years. Let Podz develop his game on the second unit. My vote is for Moody to start, along with Steph, Dray, Wiggs or JK and TJD. We like Buddy Hield, Podz or GP2 at guard, with Slo-Mo, Looney and Wiggs or JK. Hopefully, GUI Santos and Post will be able to make some contributions.
The plot and plan was to 'make' a way for poddy to get minutes no matter what or who they dissed! Turns out it was Mainly two team anchors, Klay and Loon...
Big mistake but it shouldnt be a surprise this is Kerrs favorite. It should be Wiggins his natural position, start JK at the 3. Pod should come off the bench.
Moody just isn’t smart enough to figure out how to play in Kerrs system. Kuminga understands it better than moody. Moody is just lost out there. Meanwhile pods almost immediately figured it out. Moody will be much better traded to a team that plays standard offense and defense.
In college Podz shot 44% from three on 6 attempts. In college Moody shot 36% from three on 5 attempts. Podz made all rookie 1st team and shot 38.5% on as the 5th scoring option for the warriors last season. While leading the team in total rebounds and leading the league in charges drawn. Podz is a much better team defender than Moody. The issue with Moody is despite playing more minutes last season and attempting more shots his percentages did not improve. Makes little to no sense to start him over a 1st team all rookie.
😂 that 1st team all rookie was a gift that he did not deserve! Three other rookies deserved more, mainly Keyonte George from the Jazz. Too much coffee and no cream...u know what I mean! Derek Lively too made a Much bigger impact on the Mavericks.
@@mustafamujahid1929 Those other rookies didn’t average 9/6/4 as the 5th option on the team lol. I wouldn’t expect any less of a lame response from a clear Podz hater.
This is ridiculous, podz can't replace klay!! The front office is so inept they chose to keep a rookie instead of a big man that would have turned this team into a contender! Freaking insane🤦♂
@@Zurai-Lion we were a couple draymond suspensions away from being a 5-6 seed last year. We would have lost depth and all of our future dradt picks. Never once saw a scenario of podz for lauri straight up
Inept?! Everyone knows Danny Ainge pushes for the most lopsided trades in the league. And if you don’t think TJD isn’t a future DPOY contender, then you’re about to learn this season.
That line looks so sorry. Draymon gotta go.. to small. The league to big for him to ever see the floor anymore. Curry, Wiggins, jk, tjd, and a real big they don’t have :/.
I don't know sometimes it feels that GSW is overthinking and some talents goes to waste, but you have to trust that they see more than us and understand the potential of different players. Because I think as a lot of GSW fans we like Moody haha
Dude was playing Corey joseph in crunch time but couldn’t find time for moody 😂 I’ve seen enough Kerrs ruined this team, in what universe is podz a better fit for the warriors than lauri markanen next to curry
Bro you said… “Considering ball movement and off ball movement are a big part of his game…” umm… theres only two types of ball movement… on and off ball movement. This is part of Everyone’s game lol.
Yall bout to be heartbroken about Podz he’s not that guy! Shooting is average at best, passing is average as well, charge taking ability is superior, making him an overall decent player. A number 2?! Hell no!
The Warriors may even value Trayce more than JK. Wouldn't be surprised if JK goes to restricted free agency. Players that can read the game and see the floor are more valued than althletic freaks who cant.
@@Stanoftalent how tf you called him a hater. Do you even realize what kerr is doing?? Jk is an athletic freak, but everyone knows his decision make / ring IQ is not yet on that level. 🤦 Dont be a fake friend kid, if you see there something wrong about your friend tell him, coz he needs to know for his own ggood and development..
Horrible video and comparison. Podz is a combo guard that connects players and somehow out rebounds most the team among other things like leading in taking charges. He’s more complimentary to off ball Steph. Moody is someone who will need to be a very efficient scorer at best and we are just hoping for other skillsets and abilities we HAVENT SEEN yet…
Moody has a problem, but clearly it’s not ability. It’s not his IQ. I’m thinking it’s chemistry. He needs to work on his relationship with Steph & Dray if he wants more playing time. I’d like to see him succeed!
Jordan Poole had and has talent we all know why it went downhill don't we. ”Can't wait to see how many ejections and suspensions and technicals he gets this season" oh yeah we'll see how many important games we lose due to his wonderful attitude
The problem ain't just his 3's I don't see him as a catch and shoot guy + his defense isn't good and when you add steph to the equation and dray as a 5 now we're in bad situation because we are going to get cooked on the perimeter + we don't have a rim protector cause trayce is on the bench i mean at this point it's better to start buddy at least we know offensively his going to get his
Pod is just a kiss ass why weren't kuminga and moody given this chance all I know warriors made huge mistakes with them and they didn't deserve it I'm so tired of podz
Kiss ass? That refers to locker room stuff; are you in there? That kind of comment sounds more personal than analytical. Kerr seems to love Moody but he also always says PT is earned so he still has improving to do. Not sure Podz should start but he does seem to be a little more of a playmaker than Moses at this point.
Start Moody!
💯i don't get the disrespect for moody...he works hard, doesn't complains and has had strong playoff performances. he's a way better defender than podz. what does the poor guy have to do to earn some PT?
Moody to the next level will be clutch for Warriors
Moody. definitely has had something going on. Maybe if the coaches let him play some minutes they might even see it
On gang !
Blame kerr trust issues
I agree with the suggestion of starting Moody. Podz could be a great backup point, which we otherwise don't have...
The other option next to Curry could be a rejuvenated Wiggins which would allow JK to play the 3.
They have Melton who can potentially run as a backup PG too
Andrew Wiggins getting that fire back would literally mean he would average 19 6 and 4 on 47/45/80 which is a lot better than klay.
That numbers actually go up by about .8 in the playoffs which is pretty good too,he would also Cook everyone as A SG.

@@mey443 💯 somewhere else because kerr won't allow it...Trade Him so He can Ball-Out
Podz hate is wild in these comments. Maybe the video should have mentioned Podz led the team in total rebounds and outpaced Steph;s +/- by over 70. Seems significant to me.
The podz hate is because he is not better the Moody and we can't see how the hell he leap frogged him! And all you have you have to do is look at the Knicks Game when Bronson was cooking Podz ass Moody came in and shut him down
Everyone misses the fact that at the start of last season they had the chance to get rid of klay and keep divincheenso and probably wouldve had enough money to get someone else. Instead the got rid of divinchinsho and kept just klay.... After dante hit 11 threes in a game for NY right after was probably a real kick in the nuts.
D.D. essentially being young klay thompson but cheaper...
Look at Brandin GOATZIEMSKI man, so energetic. 🎉❤🔥🔥
he's a bum compared to young Klay and old Klay...but he will start because he's the coach's pet. Justice last season! And the main reason why Klay left!
Podz is a 1, not a 2.
The Warriors have the pieces but keep jacking up the rosters.
Team 1: Steph, Moody, JK, Green, Davis
Team 2: Podz, Hield/GP2, Wiggs/Anderson, Waters, Loon
Podz? It looks like the Warriors are throwing away yet another year at the end of Steph's time as a top player in the league.
what makes you think that they have everything shooters, defenders and a couple big men
The huge difference that gives Podz minutes over Moody is assist to turnover ratio.
I knew he was gonna be good the minute I saw his father speak about him, how he was an army kid that will take any and all orders without question (no ego) he's the next franchise Cornerstone cause he's unselfish, I'm never giving him up
don't say that you'll jinx it because we said that about poole and think it was said about ellis look how that worked out
@@JP-ks7ey Poole was always a show pony, Pods isn't
Moody is so much better than podz its not even funny, kerr just can't seem to allow him to play. He's a much better on ball defender, runs faster and overall shoots better (has been consistently above 57% TS). Podz is great for a rookie don't get me wrong but I've seen a lot of moody balling tf out and kerr sitting him for the rest of the game for no reason whatsoever, which for SURE negatively impacts his efficiency numbers.
Funny coz Podz disrupts the warriors transition offense because he's hunting for the defensive rebounds instead of running back as a shoooting guard, he' aslo hunting for assists instead of just passing it right away to the right player..
Podz also go for the risky steal instead of defending as part of the team..
The Warriors need to start Moody, Kuminga and Trayce this year
Podz will not be a full replacement for Klay, at least in his current state, no shot. He plays with too much energy where his fitness isn't there towards end of games. You can see it when he logs heavy minutes, his legs aren't there on shots. There's no way he can maintain his pace of play plus attempt 10 3pointers a game at some respectable efficiency.
Maybe he is putting in the grind during the summer, knowing Steph's conditioning and knowing that Podz wants to be like him and does everything to achieve that Podz should have insane stamina in the future.
He was just a rookie mate, rest with all due respect 🙏
the warriors want podz to be the guy because podz is mike dunlevy’s guy. that’s the guy that he picked. moody was selected by bob myers. that’s why the warriors were totally fine with just letting klay walk because dunlevy doesn’t give a shit that’s not his guy. bob myers would never allow klay to just walk especially when he wasn’t even asking for a lot, $40m/2y is very affordable for a player like klay.
Getting rid of most of those bad running hook shots and replacing them with easier 3s and mid range jumpers should improve Pods offensive impact and that of the team.
But if they give Podz so much emphasis in the offense at the expense of JK I think that will be a huge mistake. Yes Klay's shooting needs to be made up for to some degree even if he was horrible last season. Spacing is of course a thing. But the one thing that has characterised the GSW offense the last few seasons has been a complete inability of anyone not named Steph to consistently apply pressure at the rim. JK obviously has in spurts but that needs to be further developed as well as doing more to get TJD involved in the offense too. simply bombing away from 3 as a team because you have few opportunities to try and get to the rim or even try and collapse the defence is just going to be a recipe for another mediocre season.
Podz should absolutely be shooting more than he did last season but if he's regularly taking more shots than JK I have little faith that will equal a better offense.
I think podz can do it but what they did to moody is criminal... why does kurr not play his good pieces? it feels like he promises minutes to bad people and then doesn't look for people who have shown up consistently ;-;
but good shit podz def deserves his flowers hope they can do the same for gui
Moses is a BETTER player than PODS... End of story. Kerr is going to play Moody 15 mins a game , If i was Moody and JK i would ask for trades. Why does'nt Steph state his position ?
As currently constructed, the most logical line-ups for GS should be...:
Starting Unit
Steph, Hield, Wiggins, Kuminga, and Draymond
Second Unit
Melton, Podz, Moody, Anderson, and TJD
Reserve Unit
GPII, Waters III, Hinson (over Santos), and Loon being the plug-n-play roll players and situational needs from game-to-game.
At some point, replace Santos with Blake Hinson, and consider trading Wiggins, Loon, and Moody for a legit rebounding and shot blocking BIG such Clint Capela or another proven 3&D Wing such as Cam Johnson, making room for Quinton Post, who'll more than likely be on a 2way along with Plowden, Beekman and/or Spencer at the start of the season.
These types of sublte adjustments and moves would balance the roster out and truly return the GSW to Stength in Numbers.
They need to let Moses start at the beginning of the season to give him a fair chance, and if they expect him to perform well by the playoffs. They already know what they have with Brandon and if Moses can't get the job done in the beginning of the season, Brandon can step in and Moses will have to go.
That WON'T happen! kerr will start 'poddy' no matter what!
Kumingod is gonna go up another level man, he will fill klay podz and moody's scoring.
Definitely not. His jumper is straight cheeks. It’s not even a sure thing when he is wide open, much less when his shot is contested. He wants to be treated like he’s KD, but he doesn’t have any of those upper level skills.
@@lancewebb1532his IQ is low
The reason he didn't take so many threes last year was that he was too easily blocked, that won't change this year. Keep the floater...
Moody should start and give him more minutes on the floor.
agreed
Pods is supposed to be a point guard. He really doesn’t seam to be a “run the offense” kinda guy. Moody needs to play more co distant minutes. He is a far more gifted athlete than Podz, why push Podz into being a 2 guard instead of being the second team general🤷🏻
Play Moody or Trade him so he has a chance to play while he’s still young.
You have to remember, this is a experiment. If it doesn't work, Moody should become the starter, and Podz comes off the bench ,and plays his natural game
Another undersize guard at the two 🤦
Dunleavy quote and prison clank had me 😂
They need to keep the Post kid and let him blossom 🌸
Kerr definently has messed with Moody's and Kuminga's heads, never enough playing time.
Then these two guys come in and immediately start??
bro we really need to get you to figure out how to EQ your mic/audio for your videos my maaan. the golden rule for any video + audio content is this: folks will watch a shitty quality video with average to above average audio but never the other way around.
fund my studio we can make it happen 😁
@@SwishCulture appreciate the time you spend on content !
@@SwishCulture you dont need a whole studio for good audio quality bruh! literally a $175 shure mv7x will solve all of your problems with barely any EQing needed. hell, you could 100% get away with the $100 el gato Wave DX dynamic mic as well. just a quick google search on affordable dynamic mics will solve all of your problems.
@@LuckyTrey3 Looking forward to giving you better content in the future. Thanks for watching.
Crazy I just thought about this listening in headphones…to find out this was the first comment I see.
The iPhone mic should be even better. No hard feelings I think there’s def a way to get it nice and clear and solid.
BP is ok but he was trying to do to much with the Summer league team ?when he was able to play . I'm concern about him going foward because his head have gotten to high up in the sky. He remind me of Poole when he was there ?BP wants to be Steph that's dangerous? Jordan wanted to become Steph as well ?????🤔
He definitely think he’s mini Steph. Did you see that report where BP supposedly said they want him to take 8 to 10 threes a night 😭😭😭
👍
He’s annoying sometimes
☝️
Calm down and let things play out, dramatic fan 😒
Imo I would start:
Steph, Buddy, Wiggins, Dray, TJD (or Looney, if he shoots more)
2nd unit
Podz, Moody, JK, Slow Mo, Looney
If we let go of JK I hope we keep Moody. But I’m excited to see how Plowden can help the team
No hate, i love both these players but Moody offers better defense and is a decent 3 pint shooter. He kept the Dubs in games last season! Perhaps Podz at 2 and Moody at 3? Wigs off the bench
Wiggins is making too much to be coming off the bench
@AllStarKydd Klay did it, albeit for part of the season but gotta look at what makes sense for the betterment of the team. Wigs should have been traded in the off-season. Problem is his value isn't worth his contract
Podz as a PG leading the second unit, Moody at the 2 starting. Solves all problems
@@caliagent55 Paying a player $30M/szn to come off the bench is not a “better” situation. That would create issues in the locker room. Especially when it comes to negotiating future contracts. This is why they were having issues with Klay, who was getting paid $40+M/szn. There are many things being juggled to maintain “Performance Flow” on a team. It’s not only about what happens on the court
@AllStarKydd true. Off the court Wigs has been going through some things that have been detrimental to his work performance. Moody has been increasingly reliable and improved his productivity season on season. The lack of consistent playing time and defined role could have and adverse effect on his confidence and mindset. I'd prefer the Dubs do something to instill confidence in Moody and allow him the opportunities I believe he deserves and has earned in his tenure with the Warriors. I'm not in the front office nor know anything about the Financials of a pro basketball team. Just thinking about how best to utilize the ascending player, and the one whose not as consistent the last two seasons.
Saw Moody at SFO the other day and wanted to tell him he should be starting..
Podz is the backup point guard.
They need a big.. it’s there biggest Achilles. No matter how well they shoot they get bullied on the glass.
Yes glad they didn't let go of Brandon 🏀🏀🏀
Podz & MM both have a ton of talent. Currently Podz brings more to the team & the players around him. That doesn’t mean MM can’t surpass Podz or any other player in time. However, currently Podz is the better starter & Moody should get more minutes - both can be true & are not mutually exclusive. As the season evolves this could flip. Hard to predict what will happen. Certainly, at the beginning of last season few to no one predicted Podz working his way into 26 mins per game or TJD dunking on Wemby. Part of the fun & why we watch - all the potential good surprises. I don’t think the video outlined a bad plan, but time will tell.
Podz is a terrible choice for the starting five. He is a defensive liability. The guard on the floor with Steph has to be able to guard the other team’s best offensive weapon in the backcourt. The best options are most likely, Melton and Moody. This crazy Podz “Hype” is gonna cause them miss any opportunity to maximize Steph’s final years. Let Podz develop his game on the second unit. My vote is for Moody to start, along with Steph, Dray, Wiggs or JK and TJD. We like Buddy Hield, Podz or GP2 at guard, with Slo-Mo, Looney and Wiggs or JK. Hopefully, GUI Santos and Post will be able to make some contributions.
The plot and plan was to 'make' a way for poddy to get minutes no matter what or who they dissed! Turns out it was Mainly two team anchors, Klay and Loon...
Moody definitely needs more minutes......
Someone will get hurt and Moody will shine. And Kerr’s hand will be forced.
The Warriors want Podz to turn into Prime James Harden 😳
Podz is not ready for the attention give to a starter not by far.
why was dante let go? because they couldn't afford to extend him.
Podz starting is just like looney starting at center. This team has lost all sense of basic basketball principles
facts!
Fr these rotations are dumb asf
I think for DEI reasons we should go for Podz. After all its the bay area
Give moody a shot at least. Kerr put him thru so much not playing him or kuminga
Big mistake but it shouldnt be a surprise this is Kerrs favorite.
It should be Wiggins his natural position, start JK at the 3. Pod should come off the bench.
Moody just isn’t smart enough to figure out how to play in Kerrs system. Kuminga understands it better than moody. Moody is just lost out there. Meanwhile pods almost immediately figured it out. Moody will be much better traded to a team that plays standard offense and defense.
Podz works hard never gives up. His heart makes up for his abilities.
Andrew Wiggins is the player who yall keep skipping.
Heyyyyy @Swish Culture Family ❤❤❤
What's up, JW!? Hope all is well.
@@SwishCulture I'm here, waiting patiently for the new season to start. How are my boys? Busy with school I suppose!
I like Podz but if someone had a good deal he'd be gone
Moody needs more playing time. He's melo
We cookd!
Your content is pretty good. You need to improve your vocal recording and mixing. It's mostly through my right channel and the mic sounds canned.
In college Podz shot 44% from three on 6 attempts.
In college Moody shot 36% from three on 5 attempts.
Podz made all rookie 1st team and shot 38.5% on as the 5th scoring option for the warriors last season. While leading the team in total rebounds and leading the league in charges drawn. Podz is a much better team defender than Moody.
The issue with Moody is despite playing more minutes last season and attempting more shots his percentages did not improve. Makes little to no sense to start him over a 1st team all rookie.
😂 that 1st team all rookie was a gift that he did not deserve! Three other rookies deserved more, mainly Keyonte George from the Jazz. Too much coffee and no cream...u know what I mean! Derek Lively too made a Much bigger impact on the Mavericks.
@@mustafamujahid1929
Those other rookies didn’t average 9/6/4 as the 5th option on the team lol. I wouldn’t expect any less of a lame response from a clear Podz hater.
Yes start Moody!
Put Wiggins on the Bench😂
Sounds like they should have kept Divi
This is ridiculous, podz can't replace klay!! The front office is so inept they chose to keep a rookie instead of a big man that would have turned this team into a contender! Freaking insane🤦♂
😂
That trade would have made us overall weaker for what at the time was a rental piece
@@fakename1656 weaker how? You think we would be worse than a play-in team?
@@Zurai-Lion we were a couple draymond suspensions away from being a 5-6 seed last year. We would have lost depth and all of our future dradt picks. Never once saw a scenario of podz for lauri straight up
Inept?! Everyone knows Danny Ainge pushes for the most lopsided trades in the league. And if you don’t think TJD isn’t a future DPOY contender, then you’re about to learn this season.
Did you make this with AI lol idk mic sounds off maybe I'm tripping
It was off, fam. I think we good now tho
@@SwishCulture nice fam I respect the effort you put into your videos I need to learn from your hustle and ethic
I just don't get it unless Moody is not starting he should be 6th man he's a better defender. I thinknje gets mins he will be great
I think Wiggins should be traded and Moody should start at the 3
Why did he just say that podz would hit 9 threes that’s just not a good idea
That line looks so sorry. Draymon gotta go.. to small. The league to big for him to ever see the floor anymore. Curry, Wiggins, jk, tjd, and a real big they don’t have :/.
I don't know sometimes it feels that GSW is overthinking and some talents goes to waste, but you have to trust that they see more than us and understand the potential of different players. Because I think as a lot of GSW fans we like Moody haha
Dude was playing Corey joseph in crunch time but couldn’t find time for moody 😂 I’ve seen enough Kerrs ruined this team, in what universe is podz a better fit for the warriors than lauri markanen next to curry
It doesn’t make sense for Po to take 8 threes he not a shooter… that’s bs fam
Moody should start over Podz. They treat Podz like he is the next Stephen Curry.
Bro you said… “Considering ball movement and off ball movement are a big part of his game…” umm… theres only two types of ball movement… on and off ball movement. This is part of Everyone’s game lol.
Yall bout to be heartbroken about Podz he’s not that guy! Shooting is average at best, passing is average as well, charge taking ability is superior, making him an overall decent player. A number 2?! Hell no!
Shooting is average? He shit 44% from 3 in college. If you want to hate atleast be realistic weirdo
The Warriors may even value Trayce more than JK. Wouldn't be surprised if JK goes to restricted free agency. Players that can read the game and see the floor are more valued than althletic freaks who cant.
Agree he is low n IQ
Dedicated kuminga hater lol
@@Stanoftalent no hater. Just making an observation. Making observations and giving opinions does not make one a hater. Are you normal?
@@Stanoftalent how tf you called him a hater.
Do you even realize what kerr is doing??
Jk is an athletic freak, but everyone knows his decision make / ring IQ is not yet on that level. 🤦
Dont be a fake friend kid, if you see there something wrong about your friend tell him, coz he needs to know for his own ggood and development..
Keer's decision making is foolish and ridiculous atp
Horrible video and comparison. Podz is a combo guard that connects players and somehow out rebounds most the team among other things like leading in taking charges. He’s more complimentary to off ball Steph. Moody is someone who will need to be a very efficient scorer at best and we are just hoping for other skillsets and abilities we HAVENT SEEN yet…
Start Moody
Moody has a problem, but clearly it’s not ability. It’s not his IQ. I’m thinking it’s chemistry.
He needs to work on his relationship with Steph & Dray if he wants more playing time.
I’d like to see him succeed!
This is spot on, where was he this summer? He's got to come out and work hard
MOODY!
It won't work...
Still too small 😢😢😢😢
Oh no
Jordan Poole had and has talent we all know why it went downhill don't we. ”Can't wait to see how many ejections and suspensions and technicals he gets this season" oh yeah we'll see how many important games we lose due to his wonderful attitude
This is a joke time lol.... pods over klay over moody over kuminga lol... this is a big time joke podz cant shoot a wide open 3 lol...
His 3 PT % was totally decent, what are you talking about??
The problem ain't just his 3's I don't see him as a catch and shoot guy + his defense isn't good and when you add steph to the equation and dray as a 5 now we're in bad situation because we are going to get cooked on the perimeter + we don't have a rim protector cause trayce is on the bench i mean at this point it's better to start buddy at least we know offensively his going to get his
Podz is an overrated role playwr
Pod is just a kiss ass why weren't kuminga and moody given this chance all I know warriors made huge mistakes with them and they didn't deserve it I'm so tired of podz
Me too he needs to sit on the bench
@@tjones8778 right
Calm your tits down @Cynthi25. Maybe just maybe he managed to do what both weren't capable of during their rookie seasons. Actually make an impact
Kiss ass? That refers to locker room stuff; are you in there? That kind of comment sounds more personal than analytical. Kerr seems to love Moody but he also always says PT is earned so he still has improving to do. Not sure Podz should start but he does seem to be a little more of a playmaker than Moses at this point.
@@seanfetterly3059 you are blind if you can't see what's up don't need to be in the locker room anyone with eyes can see it publicly
