Idk why they're so upset about it. All these analysts made it very clear that this was a weak draft. And next year is supposed to be much better. Spurs have Atlanta's first round along with their own. On top of Charlotte and Chicago's lottery protected first rounds. They can't keep all these draft picks so why would they invest resources into the 8th pick in a weak draft? Especially after they already got the guy they wanted.

Draymond Green needs to go, too. He’s a net negative most games. 🤷🏻‍♂️🙄🤦🏻‍♂️

Bill Simmons will be talking next year about how Bronny and LeBron played a trick on the NBA to get him to the Lakers. About how Bronny purposely played below his skill level to get to Los Angeles in the second round and how LeBron was playing chess to be the first father and son team ever to win a championship.

Specifically referring to the Steph conversation: At some point some of these superstars need to realise that their legacy of being associated with a single team for most of their career is far more valuable to them (financially and personally) than chasing another ring with another team.

Utah is going to take advantage of that Zach LaVine thing and get a load of picks back for Markkanen.

name me 1 nba dynasty that didn't end ugly with at least one of the main pieces ending up on a team they had no real reason to be on. Jordan on the Wizards, Scottie on the blazers, Tony Parker on the hornets, Wade in chicago, Pierce on the nets. it always ends ugly.

Adding PG is nice and all, but the Sixers only real hope for Finals contention is 1) Embiid actually stays healthy for an entire season/post season, and 2) Maxey develops into a full blown SUPERSTAR. Like, first or second team ALL NBA superstar. Tough ask.

God this is so hard to listen to. Comparing signing Chris Paul for 1 year to what the rockets did is crazy. Spurs have 7 picks in 2025. They can trade up for whoever they want. They don’t care where they end up next year, they just want internal improvement.

@fallenshallrise

Agreed. The only logic here is not Chris Paul as a player, it's Chris Paul as a teacher, veteran leadership, showing young players how to make winning plays with brains and not athleticism. For a young group that makes sense because you are right, they don't give an F about wins next year.

Klay to Dallas is on the same level as MJ to the Wizards. In 20 years, we won’t count it as part of his legacy, cuz his career is practically over

In 2020 They played miami... yawn Loaded squad. Rondo howard jr .. bubble ring team was solid

As a Spurs fan, I really hope the Spurs win 30 games. This 2025 draft class is too good to pass up. I don't want them to do anything crazy, but a high pick + Atlanta's pick could go a long way.

I assume Draymond is going to be "locked in". Yeah right.

Love wildes. Does a great job. But bill why do you have Embiid at 6. Curry ant Durant Brunsun AD all better last year then Embiid. Guy played less than half of the games last season. Tatum has more playoff games in the last 2 seasons then Embiid played last year. I have him at 13 and there is a strong case for both book and Jaylen to be in top 10. You need to put lebron in an emeritus type role. Hes above the list at this point. He’s still the most important player in the nba. Not the best but def most important.

They need to rip the bandaid and trade curry while he has value. I saw the same thing with Kobe, extended him and he had a 2 year farewell tour. It was sad to see.

After cp3 leaves, he can get traded to San Antonio to replace him

Problem with Russ will always be his scoring. Shoot 7% below league average in TS and take the third most shots on your team, per 100. possessions. Also averages the most turnovers on the team per 100 (4.6). That contributed to the third highest usage rate on the team (25.1%) behind Goerge (26.6%) & Kawhi (25.5%). Can't expect to win games when you let a player as inefficient as he is, get so many opportunities with the ball. If you went ahead and made one of turnovers a true shooting attempts & normalized to the league average 58.0 TS% with Russ's attempts last year. That would account for a three point difference in net rating for those 68 games Westbrook played in. To try and put that difference in perspective. Net rating of Thunder (7.3), Wolves (6.3), Nuggets (5.5), Clippers (3.4), Rockets (0.9), Lakers (0.6). That doesn't even begin to account for the spacing problems of having him on the court with other non shooting bigs. You get that with declining defense. As DPM hasn't viewed Russ as a positive defender, since at least 2021. His raw on/off numbers are somewhat positive (+1.8). So, maybe he gives your team some value in unseen ways. However, could just be noise. And, I don't think the math works or makes sense for Russ to be on your team & still be a legit contender.

@jasonl7937

I feel like this puts into words why Russ is a net negative player. I don’t watch a ton of NBA anymore but when I watched the Clippers I would see exactly what you described. Russ driving the lane and maybe gets a foul or makes a layup followed by 2 missed jump shots from him.

@@jasonl7937 I watched him a few times this season. First thing that comes to mind is a game where he missed a few layups I thought he should have made. Don't recall him having much issue getting to the rim. Despite his age. This with his passing is where he provides value on offense. It's just not enough. Plus, it dries up in the playoffs once teams focus on scheming against your offense. Instead, of scheming to win during the regular season. Regular season stats: 22 MPG 11ppg/51%TS 4.5AST/2.1TO In their only playoff series against Dallas - where I assume the lone big cheated of Russ - ... 19MPG 6.3PPG/33.4%TS 1.7AST/1.7TO Was better in lone previous season playoff series. But, still below regular season numbers (50%TS, sub 2.0 AST/TO ratio). Hence why the Clippers are interested in trading. Very interested I would imagine.

Wildes? HOLY

Yep another gap year or two. Maybe try and get Jerami Grant? Try and get another big who can spread the floor & hold up on defense - Signing Jalen Johnson may have been a worthwhile gamble - Make a couple other moves & give Kuminga, Pods, Moody time to mature. Is what it is for Curry. Who knows what happens if Draymond is more welcoming to KD & doesn't punch Poole. Plus, Wiggins doesn't struggle with off court issues. Losing Klay is what needed to happen. But, you keep Draymond. Steph plays well with him & his numbers suggest he's certainly worth the contract, if he stays on the court & doesn't alienate other teammates. You can't lose too much at this point. Still have to move Wiggins. Hopefully he plays better & puts his off the court issues behind him. Free agents I think Warriors should target. Robert Covington, Miles Bridges (if you can stomach the controversy), Outside shot at Tristan Vukcevic? If they don't make any big moves. I agree with you, Bill. Next year is the perfect time to tank. Or, blow up the team. Edit: Did make a smart draft move, by selecting Quentin Post. Missed that. At least they see the future of the league. Where dominant teams will likely have taller guys who can protect the rime & space the floor.

LeBron is such a smart player that he knows working the refs is more productive than running back on D & not constantly leaving his guys in 4 on 5 situations. A 1000+ more FTA's for the Lakers than their opponents shows his genius?

If I was Steph,I would want to change teams. Put me in position where I can win. Him staying with Warriors for the next 5 years doesn't change much. Let him go somwhere where he can win

Best big 3s are OKC and Wolves.

It's not yellow, it's Lakers Gold...

the warriors lost in 6 in the second round the year you said they lost in the play in and the year before they won the ship bills gotta know better lmao

I appreciate Bill always mentioning Steph playing for Charlotte but it ain't happening sadly unless 1 other all-star at least is coming with him to join Melo

I don't feel bad for teams with a great legacy to live on. The Warriors have lost all sympathy. LBJ should coach The Olympics as well. Do they test coaches for PED's?

Parker was on the hornets…

I thought CP AND Thompson would have been perfect for San Antonio if SA wouldn't have to give up anything.

They really should blow it up Steph included.

Warriors either got to get another All-Star to add with Steph & Draymond, try to win another Championship this year or next year or Blow up the roster and try to compete in a title in the next 3 years or so. Blowup the entire Roster and go with the young players on the team and grow with them (Kuminga, Podzimski & TJD). Trade Steph to Charlotte Hornets for LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller and Draft picks, trade Draymond to Detroit Pistons for young players and a draft pick, trade Andrew Wiggins anywhere for a good quality starter. Try to compete for a title for the 2027, 2028 Season.

Intimacy Coordinator, eh? 🤔

How come Steph has to take gap yrs and Lebrin doesn’t? The answer is bc Steph taking gap yrs has shown that it actually works. Whereas Bron pressuring his organization to always compete puts them constantly in a spot where they’re not really competing for a chip, but kinda look like they are. GS reloaded after a yr off and won their 4th.

6:18 ...no Bill, they actually lost in the semis to the Lakers. And LeBron.

Westbrook replaces Reggie Jackson on Denver, that's good.

OKC just bought themselves a trip to the conference finals at least
