Good win but it's all too little too late at this point. I thought we were done with losing seasons for a while but already with 41 losses it's all but guaranteed for this year.

At least we might be in via PlayIn

We have to prepare ourselves for what may be coming. Unless we're able to get a star without gutting out young talent pool we may be in a not so great position when it comes to future Draft Picks. We cant afford to stink in 2026-2027 because Charlotte gets our first round pick.

This year we have to give up our 1st to OKC and we get GSW's. Obviously I would have preferred ours since GSW has a better record thus a lower pick

Golden State's 1st round pick to Miami protected for selections 1-10 in 2025 and 1-10 in 2026 and unprotected in 2027 [Detroit-Golden State-Miami-Utah, 2/6/2025]

[He Who Posts Well]

I know there are only like 2 games left but this season can't end soon enough.

I'm not sold on keeping Wiggins long-term.

My boy was like "but he's ya'll best player right now" and im like "NO". I know there has been speculations about Riley retiring (80 years old) but I was hoping he could strike one last big deal this summer. Tho, a deal for Durant is not it despite all the talk about Durant being on the move. I just dont see us giving up much for Durant at this stage of his career.

Amd since we already owe 1st round picks to other teams (see previous post above) I dont think we have much wiggle room

Im with you there. Wiggins is a decent piece and i dont mind keeping him if we dont have a target star. I saw the trade machine that said Wiggins and rozier matches salaries with Kd’s 54 mil. Add in the GSW pick and ours this year if we miss the offs and JJJ or Jovic i would do that in a heart beat.

If we got to run it back i would like to see Ware come back stronger and featured more cause i think the kid could be a star we just need to find a veteran ball handler that can run an offense. We definately need to resign Davion and slo mo.
