You're talking to someone who said Eric Paschall and James Wiseman were franchise centerpieces.

The 2022 title has been masking the ineptitude from the front office since KD’s departure. Roster construction has been garbage. It’s literally gamble on dudes who are injury prone asl or just straight up wildcards.
They won a title when their only legitimate big man was Kevon Looney. I hope cats who're criticizing the coaching marinate on that.
It's unfathomable how they even won a title that season.
The scouting and recruiting has been without a shadow of a doubt the biggest reason why this team is in the state it's in (and really the only reason). The core and system has masked the garbage ass support casts that the front office has put out on the floor. The fact that Kyle Anderson has been brought up as a piece that the Warriors should be playing in 2025 is all the proof that you need.
A lot of the issues too are that the players cannibalize one another's effectiveness because of their own inabilities.
Because Kuminga can't shoot, you essentially have to run 3-4 guards with him in order to stretch the floor and/or handle the ball. That then limits lineups that Moody, TJD, Anderson, Looney etc can be in because you can't put them out there with Kuminga for extensive periods. I know these 'small lineups' have been at the center of criticism over the years, but they're a necessity for this team to function given the roster construction - that's what happens when you have bigs who can't shoot.
Spacing is king in today's NBA.
Running traditional ass lineups only works if you have the personnel to do it, and GS simply haven't had that type of personnel for years.

if the warriors don't get jimmy butler then the season is done. steph had one of his best games of the season and the warriors still blew it to a lakers team without AD. this was one you had to win at home. just shameful.

Trade for Zion or Yimmy Bulter?
I’d take the player on Zion.. low risk, high reward especially with his contract situation…

Laker fans and especially LeGBT would be throwing absolute tantrums if Bron had Steph's supporting cast. Notice how he just casually tries to compare rosters while ignoring the Lakers have a Top 5 player on the team. Heck I think even D-Lo better then everyone besides Steph
I honestly felt sorry for Steph last night
U a dam clown. Dlo ain’t even better than Kuminga. Yesterday the few lakers that’s been ass all year was making plays finally. Wiggins better then everybody not name ad and bron on the lakers. Both teams suck but you acting like lakers got a squad is comical even from you.Laker fans and especially LeGBT would be throwing absolute tantrums if Bron had Steph's supporting cast.
