Wiggins was the catalyst in them winning last year

The rest of the league wanted Wiggins to be an Alpha which he wasn’t

He knew that Wiggins, who was taken #1 overall but doesn’t have that dog mentality would fit in with the Warriors with his athleticism and defense while giving you 20

He knew Wiggins had talent and just needed to be in the right spot

And it worked to a Tee he gets credit for that move
Let’s not have revisionist history about that trade as they partly benefitted from Minny being desperate to pair DLo with KAT. They found the perfect trade partner and got an extra first round pick out of the deal. Don’t forget they wanted to sign DLo initially, but didn’t have the cap space to do it so they settled with Rubio.

What about Iguodala?

Of course he deserves credit for that move, but his track record has been spotty for years now hence people’s comments about him being overrated.

I’m even willing to give him some slack for the Wiseman pick and based on the circumstances that a lot of the teams weren’t confident about their picks and wanted no part trading up.

GS never really recovered after the Raptors crushed them and close Oracle forever

Fun fact. Canada Basketball owns the Oracle floor from the last game ever played there.

Thankfully because Canadians are such good ppl, Wiggins granted them a slight reprieve last year as an apology from Canada , but yeah this team is done

Let's all remember how GS had a stranglehold on the NBA :wow:

Had teams tanking because they knew they couldn't compete

Other teams still just jacking up 3s trying to crack the code.

Had the Coli servers smoking during their run :whew:


nikkas in legit tears when they landed KD :banderas:

I Respek Bob.... wasn't perfect but show me a GM who is.

Thanks for everything, nothing but the best in them 'devors.

That said, some new ideas could be good. Just depends on who ends up there. But I'm still riding with the FO sohh it's whatever.

:hubie:

My son asked if I thought Kerr might step into that role.

:jbhmm:

Agreed.. got to embrace change sometimes. It will be interesting to see which way this goes. There is so much salary tied to 4 guys.. 5 of draymond is still around. They need to make a move or these youngsters need to take a leap. Can't have complete collapses during non steph minutes anymore

Now those nikkas wanna dikkride Jerry West. When even after he left they were still running with that “light years ahead shyt”. :russ:
Mind you Jerry signed Deandre Jordan to an offer sheet. Only reason this run happens is because the clippers matched. Jerry also wanted to sign Dwight but he wouldnt take a meeting
