Instead of breaking up the core realize the fact that Klay isn’t a starter anymore and stop forcing him in that position 😭 how bout that

[@tjones8778]

No bro Klay has to go if we want to get better plus Kerr is delusional he still think Klay is the same

[@SSJRome]

@@tjones8778he was solid off the bench

[@km-lr7wj]

How would they get better with Klay gone? They got no salary cap space to sign anyone else. They got no choice bro.

[@415riderss]

Also stop acting like Klay is a stretch 2/3 when he is a strict 2 and plays fine when he has that role. No more 3 and 4 guard rotations and play the good players 40 minutes, not cap everyone on the team at 35 for no reason, when that rule only applies to Steph.

[@crackerackadingdong]

He was dropping 20-30 off the bench. I actually feel bad for him that they tried to start him again and play him too many minutes when he was doing well off the bench

Paul got a point, if draymond wouldn have gotten suspended they make the playoffs easy

[@415riderss]

GSW was also 4-11 in games decided by 3 points or less, kept telling everyone this is a 60 win roster that Kerr got to underperform by not doing his job and playing 3 and 4 guard rotations, not playing anyone over 35 mpg even if it means losing, and keeping Draymond calm so he doesnt get suspended. Kerr gotta go.

[@nicolasaguilar1258]

Then why do they keep justifying that fools behavior?

[@Bestbiggsy]

Facts bro his game management was trash. We blew 6 20 point second half leads, and 11 double digit second half leads total. Playing steph like 32 min a night, sitting him from 5 mins in 3rd quarter until 8 mins left in 4th, he comes back cold and we play stupid ass 3 guard lineups with him, Paul and Podziemski. It was like Kerr was finding ways to lose these games.

[@415riderss]

If he wants to do a 1 year deal at like $15M every year, Klay will retire a Warrior.

[@marcjohnson4677]

KG is right. As a Dubs fan, it was tough watching Klay do an O fer especially since he's been my favorite player. Klay needs to come off the bench at a reduce role and minutes or just leave and take the bag. I would love to see the three of then ride off into the sunset...

[@ballinassm1ke]

Klay can live on 30 million and a reduced role. Iguodala set the precedent. CP3 tried it successfully and facts that if Draymond played 15 more games they probably get half of those and they’re planted in the middle of the playoffs. What really hurt them is when Mike Brown left the bench. Brown took like 10 wins with him to Sacramento

[@415riderss]

Um, CP3 has zero rings. He didnt do anything successfully.

[@ballinassm1ke]

@415riderss CP3 is 38 almost 39 in the league AND he makes 30 million a season. He did everything right. If the warriors had won 3 more games we would be literally talking about them playing @ Denver tonight.

[@johnnybraxton5539]

Big ticket and the truth

[@KG-oi3od]

KG went from maxing Klay out one day to dumping Klay today.

[@IamMrImpeccable]

Is about the moment… I don’t think Klay goes anywhere though.

[@KJ22909]

My favourite basketball podcast 😅

[@jjleeeee]

we went to 6 finals and won 4 of them. we caught lightning a a bottle. this trio deserves to go out together and ride off into the sunset. i get the frustration but what this trio has achieved will be etched in history forever. you ride them out then you rebuild. the warriors will never draft a top ten player of ALL TIME in steph curry probably ever again. these players are generational. as a fan i want to see them retire at GS. they can suck for the next 3 years but heck it'll be worth it. they deserve it.

[@trev9168]

So here’s the thing. You contradicted yourself. You can’t say “let them ride it out” and than say “they prolly will never draft another guy like steph again” that doesn’t work. Having Steph still relatively in his prime is the exact reason why you can’t afford to waste his greatness anymore by trying to ride this out. Get what you can for klay and green and with that cap space opening up and whatever all be it small return for those 2 guys, youll be able to put something together that can at least have a little bit of hope. But this right now? No. It’s time. If you wanna do it like this than might as well trade curry because your wasting him

[@tjones8778]

That’s the most selfish thing they could for Steph

[@phamawa]

How do you think that affects Stephs morale? Trading Dray and Klay like that. Klay just needs to accept less money, if he wants more you gotta let him walk. Steoh and dray can stay. They don't need a massive overhaul and they definitely want continuity.

And we wont

[@jfrombk338]

All they need is a big and another wing... They lost like 15 games that were lost just at the end of the game. They got enough

[@AGVME]

Agreed! Dray missed 25 games on some stupid shit. We lost a bunch of clutch games. Should be closer to the clippers position and maybe amongst the upper 3. But we need an answer for Joker/Embiid/Giannis/Wemby. Dray can do good but he needs 2 bodies behind him to handle the next gen bigs. Klay off the bench. Kuminga stepping up. Wiggins gets moved for something valuable. Moody stepping up. Pods/Trayce.

[@samuelclark1677]

The problem wasn't the warriors not having a big. It was Steve Kerr's decision to put Klay back in the starting 5 after seeing how good he was coming off the bench.

[@415riderss]

4-11 record in 3 point games, literally could have added 11 more wins if they got 1 more bucket....

[@415riderss]

@@samuelclark1677 Kerr's biggest problem was burying Kuminga and Moody on the depth chart so Pod and TJD could get exposed as rookies (Pod was brutal on defense other than the 35 charges he drew, again due to Kerr playing too many short players vs teams playing all 6'8" guys, Pod was routinely exposed in ways Kuminga and Moody cannot be). Kuminga and Moody will be stars in this league if Kerr lets them play 35+ MPG.

[@jfrombk338]

@@AGVME facts. That's why I said a big. Dray needs help with 5s so if he can play 4 and have someone to back him up... That's literally why they lost to the kings. They got killed on the offense glass

[@ronaldbryant7710]

I can’t believe KG making a big deal out of Klay missing 10 shots, I guarantee if I look back at all his games he did the same at some point. Klay should remain with GS for at least 2-3 years coming off the bench like Paul said.

[@CrandallWilliams]

Thanks KG.👍🏿💯 Because that really was hard watching Klay miss those shots. I hope Klay stays. You can always make another Dynasty. But you Cannot replace a Splash Brother.😐

They are in such a weird position now. How do they keep getting and growing young players, if they keep an expensive core?

[@415riderss]

You guys have said this every year since 2019. Interesting how GSW got some nice trade chips in Podz, TJD, Moody, Wiggins, CP3 and GP2 and being how GSW is the cleanest route for Bron+Bronny to play together, we might see a match in a trade there. Also Giannis and Dame are going to request trades out of Milwaukee, as will KD...GSW has a whole bunch of draft picks they can trade too, GSW can get any of those big 4 and chip again and again.

[@j5daniel182]

The core is broken whether they are allon the same team or not . Klay is not max salary/all-star player anymore. He's more like a 10 to 15mill a year player .

[@alfredmayes5005]

Paul Pierce, you just dropped a dime. Put Klay on OKC, coming off the bench knocking down threes, I like how that sounds. He’s what they need anyway. Someone with championship pedigree.

[@trev9168]

That kings game should be the nail in the coffin. You literally saw everything . The vets didn’t preform at all really. And the young bucks like jonathon were the ones carrying the team throughout the game and even throughout the season (not really counting curry) taht should be what you build off. Curry and the young guys. They should’ve trusted it and traded klay and green years ago. Could’ve still been a contender rn

This season was defined by Kerr benching cold guys as soon as they got hot and playing Podz the most minutes on the team to stat lines closer to 0-0-0 than a triple double, which is what we need out of those minutes. Kerr kept playing Podz, Klay and GP2 at the 3 and they got cooked every single time, as those 3 guys are strict 2's.

Steph too me is a top 5 or 6 player of all time. But even i realize without draymond playmaking and klays ability to get hot i dont think curry can be as deadly.

Klay to Washington? Orlando? Paul doesn't know about the salary cap or something? Klay is making mvp type money, CP3 is making all star money... there's a reality where the league is trying to block everything the Warriors have done in the past too gain the advantage. They resigned Kerr, Draymond and Wiggins... so they're obviously moving forward with the core, unfortunately. There's 1 hail merry trade left... Kuminga, CP3, Moody, Looney, many picks for Embidd (when he demands out this summer and 76ers rebuild). 76ers would have 100% cap space open and Maxey, Moody, Kuminga and a bunch of picks to build on.
