Cy, it's me. Bob Myers was is closer to mediocre than Sam Presti. Myers was an organizational man. Got certain players to surround Steph. Smart vets. He was terrible at evaluating young talent. He got lucky w Dray as no other team thought highly of him. Giving money to Poole - awful. Wiseman one of the biggest busts in the history of the NBA! Not seeing the league has gone tall and quick while the Ws remain short and slow. Also, he is not that insightful on tv - tends to mumble. Also, he Never drafted a point guard to help when Steph is down. All the PGs were like quasi points. Left the Ws as the storm of trouble was coming.

[@frankieclayton9303]

That's why I was saying get that Yukon coach Lakers because Steve Kerr isn't putting his players in possession executing on point and see the Lakers have done something that's going to be for the future right now and if Steve Kerr can't get these players back to and the youth coming in right now be able to do it cuz this comes from Yukon which I said the Warriors should do they have made the best move ever for the Lakers with this coach

[@frankieclayton9303]

Now this is up to Steve Kerr to step his game up and improve his team and improve his coaching and improve his every every and play and coach it and thoughts and strategy and making everything efficient and effective because this coach right here for the Lakers watch what he do

[@frankieclayton9303]

I'm not putting the Warriors down on the couch down but I'm saying Steve Kerr if you can't get the players back to where you seek play in a dynasty years come together execute put them in place in strategize execute have them work hard and do the things that's going to elevate their game and position that they need to be in better stronger in every way because this coach for the Lakers is going to be Dynamite excellent he's going to put them in positions to when to be efficient effective on point

Plz no more short players on our team its like half of our roster are gards😫 another Kerr move

[@horacemcgraw3224]

First of all, the Warriors need to get rid of this fascination with guards. We have enough guards: Steph, Klay, Moody, Brandon, GPII. We need people who can stretch the floor. Size and length is what we need. If you stretch the floor, Klay will get better looks. Getting rid of Klay is not a good idea. Getting him better looks is what they need to do. That's why other teams are interested in him. If you are going to get rid of anyone it needs to start with Draymond and CPIII. Even though Draymond is a good defender and facilitator, the drama he brings is not worth it. You can get a good stretch big and a decent facilitator for him without the drama. CPIII actually helped a bit this year but not having his salary this year will help attain a decent facilitator that can create his own shots in the paint. If you're going to consider bringing a guard, I would consider bringing back Jordan Poole if you trade Draymond. I know that not many would agree with that but he fit this team perfectly. The punch is what took him out. Get rid of Draymond and I believe that Poole will work, that is, if he even wants to come back. With Draymond and Meyers gone, he may consider it. Don't forget, Poole can create his own shots out of nothing and he will get better defensively just like Steph did.

[@jodizzle6321]

Not sure about Beasley, but Klay and Draymond gotta go. Klay is a liability most of the time now. Draymond is not the defender he once was (or thinks he is now), and he's too much of a distraction now. I look at Dejounte Murray as an upgrade over Klay. I look at how well Naz Reid is playing and thinking how well he could fit with the Warriors (replacing Draymond). Also, find a decent big for the 5 spot (with TJD as the primary backup).

[@49erMinded]

Wow this caught me by surprise. I used to to do Standup with Karl back in the day.

[@TommyMEG7]

I would try - Chris Paul & looney to Nets for Ben Simmons - Andrew Wiggins and Mosses Moody with 2nd round 2024 pick and maybe 1st round 2025 pick to Hawks for Deontay Murray - We should fall under the tax. - Then Wait on Klay decision, and see what defensive big with shooting we can find, Maybe miles turner.

[@alexearly1291]

If the Warriors want win to now and ready themselves for the future, then they to get a replacement for Curry now. To win now, They should being in DW Howard, He's an older Gabert an absolute demon on the boards and draft a 6-11+ center under him. Next the Curry up and coming replacement for the future Isiah Joe. He's a taller Curry. there are number forward they can get. cuzma from the wizards fits the bill.

[@Mrcool19771]

As someone who lives in the Milwaukee area, I watch every single bucks games . I can assure you , signing Malik Beasley at the salary you will get him for is a steal. Damian Lillard was awful this entire season . When Damian Lillard was hurt in the playoffs , pat Beverly started at the point . In game 5 of the playoffs, Milwaukee had their best playoff game in 2 seasons . In that game Beasley had 18 points in the second half , and the Milwaukee Bucks became the only team in NBA history to win a playoff game without their two leading scorers . Point is , in the offense that golden state runs , beasley will excel. His defense was poor at the start , but by the end of the season , he improved. Even if he comes off the bench , he will help the warriors. He shot better than Dame Lillard in the regular season and playoffs from 3 .

[@GeorgeMack-wr9sk]

If the warriors do not trade for a big man, that's reliable skill and want to be there. They are making no serious mistake. Because the league has got that number.They put the 6.4 guards Another team with 6.7

[@leonarronquillo593]

They already have a brick lord in Klay, why the hell would they need another in Beasley. He did not do jack shit in that Bucks - Pacers series. I mean for Christ's sake, there were moments in that series where Pat Bev where their best player in the court.

[@jackliu3120]

Q: will any other NBA team sign him as their GM? Not likely - - that tells you something. He is awful on tv. Wiseman is one of the biggest busts IN THE HISTORY OF THE NBA. Poole signing big dollars? He was great at signing smart crafty wise vets to surround Steph.

[@johnholmes8760]

@@rhlang11 Wiseman was a misstep but Covid, hard to scout. You can’t judge his whole career by that. Poole was shooting amazing with Steph and Klay space he had to pay 💰 up, they just won 🏆 championship. Not sure 🤔 you are looking at this wisely, or correctly. All the issues on Team are Steve Kerr’s feet not Bob Meyer. Last if he wanted a GM job be done in 24 hours! You got a lot wrong here friend….😩

[@rhlang11]

@@johnholmes8760 if you listen to Bob on tv, you would never think he has an abundance of special or unique insight. Bob is a very nice guy, thoughtful, sincere, and built a team around Steph's incredible talent. He was not visionary. I dont think he had any skill in finding young talent and he left the Ws in a world of hurt. The Wiseman pick is an all time bust. Poole was a near disaster. Yes, I am going overboard, I admit. But I think and we shall see, he will not be hired as a GM. He is better suited as an Exec not as a GM in the trenches. And for the record, he is not a gifted tv talking head. His thoughts are often jumbled.
