Kylen Mills and former KPIX anchor and 95.7 The Game host Charlie Walter analyze the latest developments on this episode.

Moses Moody, should be the starting shooting guard. And he really is that good. Just give him the minutes.

[@metal--babble346]

more minutes for Moody

[@Kdfamilyman71]

Nah trade his ass.

[@FootyRevolutionHQ]

I'm only here for Kylen Mills nothing else😂🥵

She was missed 💯

[@brianblankutube]

yes

[@ronhogan4690]

Moody needs to start at the Two, You can use Podz as the number 2 point guard behind Steph. We need an athletic Big who can play defense. We get that and stop turning the ball over then We will be back at the top no question!

[@DavidLightbringer]

Kylen with the spot-on analysis: we are old, slow, and small, and we need players who move us in that dircetion. Thats not Klay Thomspon

[@DavidLightbringer]

it's weird when people talk about how do we replace Klay Thompson. he was one of the lowest if not the lowest in plus minus apart from Wiggins. Yes he still shoots pretty well, although he's very streaky, but the liabilities are worse, and that's why he's in the negative. then we have the ego problems which persisted all season. I just don't want to watch it again and I don't think he helps the team

[@konga1653]

Thank you. 🎉

[@lauradone9232]

For anyone unaware, Cyrus has moved across to The Golden Daze podcast, available on KZbin and Apple Podcasts. Make sure you all give him a sub and check his channel out, he's giving the same content, without the ads and time limits. Big love for locked on too, but don't forget about Cy and how he helped boost the traction of this channel. GOLDEN DAZE, do it 🤝🏼

Just checked it out! Thanks!

[@eeyuntv5933]

Podz and Steph do NOT need to share the starting line-up. Too small smh

[@Kdfamilyman71]

False. It's not smaller than most back courts in the league

[@patrickstubbs3792]

Should be Steph, Moody, JK, Draymond, & TJD

[@Kdfamilyman71]

Steph Curry played better when shared the court with Brandin Podziemski

[@patrickstubbs3792]

I figured this was going to happen which is why I think Moody will be the starting SG. He’s ready for it and it’s time especially is Klay doesn’t resign. Steph, Moody, JK, Draymond, & TJD should be the starting lineup! Watch Kerr mess it up especially if we don’t get any pieces in FA.

[@bigred0079]

Get a major peice in free agency or trade, otherwise back to the play-in if you're lucky...

[@jensenchun4955]

No on Pod starting, he replacing Curry

[@Kdfamilyman71]

No he's starting at 2

[@foreversims6734]

I like the idea of having Brandon Ingram on the team because he’s a consistent scorer and if they can get Dyson Daniels somehow, they might can make a run. They honestly need a 6’9 or 7ft that can be an offensive threat and someone that can protect the paint. And Steve please do not run a 3 or 4 guard lineup next season.

[@columbusobanner5042]

I still believe that the core is still a championship contender with the right players! I would look to bring in three new players! A solid center, wing player, solid guard! ( Players - Jarrett Allen - Utah big man who is a great three point shooter - coby white, Asar Thompson, DeRozan ) I would keep TJD, JK, Moses ! I would trade BP, Wiggins, Chris Paul, GP2 )

[@TheStraycat27]

whoever the GS trade for, it's all up to Kerr if he will give them playing time.

[@maclinhjklj]

Kylen I think you’re very on point about Brandon Ingrim!

[@johnholmes8760]

No way trade Kumminga suicide mission absolutely not!

[@Iguessitsme]

Podz and Steph doesn’t work defensively and there’s no need to have two Draymond like players to clog the starting line up

[@emmanuelcalbes8309]

Markenen or valenciunas is good choices

[@westrueblood8178]

Podz didn’t play at Indiana his freshman year because he did NOT go to Indiana. He went to Illinois, where he did play his freshman year. Not a ton, but he did play.

[@CharlieWalterTV]

I had to go back and listen because I knew he played at Illinois… Got my midwest neighbors mixed up in a Freudian slip. Thanks for catching 👍🏼

[@cbl336]

Nailed it Charlie; the NBA is a business. Klay got paid, had a great run, but time to move on. He'll make more on another team, and the Dubs will hopefully be able to acquire a 6'9"- 7' two way and other supporting players. I agree w others, Podz shouldn't start w Curry but a great backup. Starters: Curry, Kuminga or Moody, TJD, Dmond, and ?

[@ryanfrancisco2828]

Curry, Klay, D.Green,TD, (If possible Kwahi or Butler or PG Wagner Brothers or M. Bridges or Markennan) Kuminga, Moody, Podz

[@lolyes1410]

Love how the sponsorship was never talked about in the bottom

[@rockygroo8909]

Alex Caruso, Brandon Ingram are not the rite fit. Just media hyped players. This team needs people with passion who wants to win and be best. Who can give Max effort like what NYK guyz did and damn good 3P shooter like Miles McBride and some tall guyz who are Defense minded

[@FullContactCoder]

I think Caruso would work and probably won't cost much - but not sure what his contract looks like. Ingram I agree - think he's overhyped and doesn't have the heart that Caruso has.

[@maclinhjklj]

Good point. Podz is great but let’s slow down on the starting role.

[@Chris_Swish_OtM]

He should be the back up pg

[@Kdfamilyman71]

He will be the starting 2 guard.

[@Kdfamilyman71]

@@Chris_Swish_OtM Why should somebody who made All rookie first team be a back up point guard when he was drafted to the warriors as a shooting guard.

[@Iguessitsme]

@@Kdfamilyman71 he plays as a more natural point guard, that’s why. He’s a good off ball defender, but doesn’t show much effectiveness or versality on-ball outside of a couple lefty players with similar playstyles to himself.

[@johnholmes8760]

Klay has not been in reality for years, he can’t guard good guards. He gets tired easy. He is streaky off on, etc. We lost 😠 two playoffs with Kling city, 8th man now 18 mil two years. So, we have to get self awareness… Kerr went all in on Klay got punked! We need a rebuild

[@ryanfrancisco2828]

It depends to Team construction. maybe keep Klay if you can get a very good big man, get 2 reliable wing man that can defend with very good shooting. Some players may compliment Curyy (Kwahi or P. George, Lauri Markennan or one of wagner brothers, or Bridges from charlot. Trade for butler and Middleton.

[@user-lp3pv7hw5z]

Kylen spotted right on we need to get younger moody should get more minutes to replace klay at the 2 guard and improve the size bring in a athletic big and lob threat and surround good defenders with Steph and then warriors will improve lot more

[@Flames4791]

How do we make kylen the permanent host of locked on warriors?

[@konga1653]

I Love Moody And Lester Q And Santos! Did you see their energy? Get out of here - Kylen is right 😊on Moody! Moody shut down Brunson!!

[@RAsVault]

Glad previous host is gone. Welcome Kylen

[@jdavila7260]

Kaylen , excellent podcast . You’re a breath of fresh air . I appreciate the passion of the past , but unfortunately it turned into a rant or a narrow focus . It wore me out and so I cut it off until you came on the scene with professionalism and your insightful commentary. Thanks Kaylen , hope you’re here for a long run .

[@amitaiuriarte4094]

I would love a sign and trade to Orlando for Jonathan Isaac, but the Orlando fans tell me that’s crazy. I’d settle for Mo Wager and Wendel Carter Jr. Maybe sign and trade Klay for Mo Wagner and Jalen Suggs. I don't know if Orlando sees Suggs in their future, especially with Anthony Black, but if Suggs is available, I like his defense and his offense is getting better each year.

[@zookylander07ify]

Lauri Mark would help on size and spacing the floor

[@EddieFast-mv8kk]

No way Podz is better than Moody. Moody is bigger more athletic, better all around scorer and better defensive player, you think he is not, just watch the games when he gets minutes or just watch the stats. Podz is only good in rebounds, then guess who is guarding the perimeter? Why teams were killing the warriors in the perimeter? The other thing he is good is in charges, because he can not stay in front of anybody in defense.

[@Qjags2]

Well said, Eddie. I don't know what's up with these Podz Fans, they think he's the greatest.😅

[@Kdfamilyman71]

@@Qjags2 He provides more for the team then Moody, Steph Curry played better with Podz on the floor.

[@EddieFast-mv8kk]

Yeah, they play better together, thats the reason why they lose in the play in.

[@amitaiuriarte4094]

Brandon Ingram is a bad idea. He’s a regular season player. Kerr clearly didn’t like him or trust him when he coached Team USA at the last World Cup. Moody should be the starting SG, and Podz should be the backup PG. Maybe we could bring in a veteran to be the backup PG and Podz could be the back up SG. I would love to trade for Nick Richards, a true 7 footer from Charlotte.

[@CharlieWalterTV]

Kylen and I covered Nick at Kentucky. He’s intriguing. He keeps getting better and is excellent by the rim finishing and as a rim protecter.

[@marcschmitz8471]

start Moses!!!

[@jensenchun4955]

Pod NBA unless he grows and make a massive jump right now in his scoring as a threat it isnt going to happen in my book. Without CP his roll will to leaf the second unit or Curry neefs a break. Unless, Kerr break his promise to go bigger which he will cause he cant get away from small ball will start Pod, and that will be his downfall. Pod not happening

[@Kdfamilyman71]

That's not true. Steph Curry played better with Podziemski on the court. Podz should definitely be the starter unless the get a significant upgrade. It definitely won't be Moses Moody🤣

[@jensenchun4955]

@@Kdfamilyman71 play better, are you joking majority of games he was head to head with Green who was going to score in single digit. Kerr, went from small to smaller at times had four just to screen and setup Curry who by end of season was mentally and physically drained. He is a good pick can he be a 18 points average this season I gaurantee it isnt going to happen

[@john-lucaswhite7074]

Anyone who thinks Brandon Ingram is worth 52m a year shouldn’t be allowed to speak on a basketball podcast again

Kaylen not sure why your trying to push Klay out of the door is crazy.... replace Klay with who? Ingram? The same guy that didn't play in the playoffs because he was hurt? And if we trade wiggs again for what? Or for who

[@FullContactCoder]

Can't afford $24+ million for a 6th man - and Klay is still good enough to get that and have a bigger role somewhere else.

[@jensenchun4955]

When it comes to Klay suggesting moving on and Bring in Ingram that is a deal breaker. I rather see Kuzma. If Klay goes I dont see Wiggins having another 2 head trip season move him Back to 2, which is his natural spot. You got Moody to push him. If only JK was taller that would solve a lot. He right as at GM you wont last long. Ingram NO NO! W, are already under apron 1, let him walk, CP - 32 M, forget the Klay sign and trade let him walk -45m, No go shopping for bigger strength in numbers

Not with the warriors.
