Warriors ALL-IN on Paul George?!

Steiny & Guru debate how badly the Warriors WANT Paul George and what they'd be willing to give up, consider the superstar market is barren (at this point).

Trading Kuminga would be a slap in the face to every single Warriors fan period!

[@ronaldrollins1558]

😂😂😂 you like the misery last two years .

[@ninerempire3398]

Not really lol. And with dunleavy’s draft record so far, I wouldn’t be too worried about the future

[@akramassaf1711]

Keep this guy out of the dubs uniform He is a no show in the playoffs

[@josephblowseph6123]

I just want to remind everyone how much Wiggins disappearing for two straight seasons after getting paid has hurt the Warriors. Obviously on the floor. But it hurts right now too, making all of this much harder. Harder to plan, harder to trade Wiggins, harder. And let's remind ourselves much of this wasn't due to bad luck for Wiggins with injury, it was Wiggins simply having personal problems he needed to sort out ....in the middle of a season, right after being paid, right when everyone else in the organization has goals and dreams too. Do younger modern fans get hurt, personally hurt by me pointing this out, that your generations have been SO seeped in forgiving and making excuses and feelings....that you're incapable of criticizing and putting things like they are. I'm not saying fans should just tee off on Wiggins, i leave open the possibility Wiggins' personal problems really did deserve him just leaving for months inthe middle of a high paid important to everyone season....but really? Couldn't they NOT be? Maybe Wiggins is a nice guy but one who is who he always had been...a player who every now and then lives up to his talent, but most of the time his shy inward personality makes him NOT worth it. But now the rest of the league doesn't want any part of that. We are WAY TOO easy on Wiggins. It's eerie. At least to older fans. Sometimes blind empathy .....isn't so just of course good, and comes with unintended consequences. But i digress. Blind empathy slowly but surely makes the league have less integrity, not more empathy. They already spoil the players to the nth degree, we now coddle them, it's weird considering how much they make (and again, i'm not saying open in their face ugliness, but let's just be honest here. Wiggins is babied.)

[@ninerempire3398]

It’s not that deep man. Fans don’t have as much say or pull as we think we do . Nothing we say over the internet affects anything . It’s all about what the owner/management think at the end of the day, email somebody from the warriors . But with being said, we need an upgrade from wiggins

[@akramassaf1711]

What a terrible choice to bring in PG. Are you serious?!! He is too old Always injured Just like wiggs does not want to work hard

[@ninerempire3398]

What makes you think he doesn’t work hard? Have you seen how skilled his game is after coming back from one of the worst injuries ever ? I get the age and injury concerns, but you could only get the type of game he has with a lot of hard work

[@helvinbacareza4033]

Clippers will need to take anything. If George walks, he can walk.

[@townbidnesz5315]

Playoff P is not the answer

[@davidnguyen3363]

I don’t get it why would you want to pay Paul George max salary. He’s old at 34 and on the decline. He is often injured

[@yoki_isthename9456]

There's a short window for Steph to win another title. Paul George is probably the one available guy they can get to help him win.

[@razorsharp7039]

KUMINGA !!!!!!!!😮

[@kellz5796]

Kuminga doesn’t need to be traded.. if Paul comes it’s his choice sooo the clippers would have to choose nothing or a little something….. this shows kumingas potential caa his names keeps getting said

[@kmd6319]

You dont trade Kuminga, plus the Clippers dont have the leverage

You do trade Kuminga

[@neiloantonio14]

​@@cardtraderjay Kuminga doesn't need to be traded for PG. CP3 + Wiggins, maybe Moody and a couple of picks will do.

[@cardtraderjay]

@@neiloantonio14 This makes no sense. First off, Clippers won’t do the trade unless Kuminga is in it. Second, Warriors are willing to offer PG13 a four year deal. What are you gonna do once Kuminga’s rookie deal ends?

​@cardtraderjay the clippers have no leverage he can just walk after Sunday and get nada

[@shaneflannigan7919]

If the warriors trade JK. That would be horrible

[@bodies_by_corpus]

It’s all fun and games til PG and Dray do a joint podcast after we get bounced from the play in tournament

[@morgantalbert7103]

Heck NO! Why would I give up Giannis 2.0 (JK) for playoff P? Lame.

[@amazingqualitycontrolltd9352]

No way we can afford a 4 years max deal for PG . He has max 2 great years left but then it would be a horrible contract to deal with

[@razorsharp7039]

Guru don’t be like that. Kuminga is ready, Paul George is injury prone. One day Gu, you say this, then you make a 90 degree turn. I don’t understand who you are.

[@davingutierres7186]

Wiggins is gone- Warriors preventing Wiggins from playing for Canada in the olympics.

[@ninerempire3398]

Just saying, PG’s game still looks really good at this age . His game is based off of his skill and size not athleticism . He’s a major upgrade from JK or Wiggins at this point. They’re in a tough spot but I’m less worried about the future with how dunleavy has been picking with no lottery picks . Imagine him with lottery picks

[@andylofi4448]

Couldn’t disagree more. You don’t touch Kuminga.

[@xelrod7062]

No Kuminga for PG, no way. PG has never showed up in the postseason, injury-prone, can't defend, can't pass, and isn't worth a 4-yr max deal at his age.

[@andrewbradley3305]

Kuminga overrated😊

[@Y-Kay]

You’d think ownership understood this more than we do. It’s pathetic and frustrating they are having this conversation. It seems like lacob has been losing his touch. This is embarrassing for exactly everything you mentioned

[@momo-nk1fg]

You right kuminga was playing 30 mins a night in both his postseason runs

[@jasonwalter8636]

Stopped taking you serious when you said can’t defend

[@ronaldrollins1558]

Kuminga can't defend can't shoot threes can't do free throws and will never be anything than a 7-8 bench player.

[@JahlilRahim]

Get rid of Wiggs so we can keep JK and PG

[@mgw2745]

And Klay. Wiggins is too unpredictable. Bit the problem is who wants him?

[@sting114]

Not gonna happen. Need to give in order to receive. Wiggins is a negative asset

[@its420somewhererightnow]

Get PG13 send him to Phoenix for KD. We need a familiar splash cousin since Klay removed himself from all conversations... KEEP JK, Wiggs can go take time away from another team. Draymond needs to get in line, Joe paid him now step up. Podz and TJD will be ready when called, Moody, if Kerr's not going to play him, why keep him? Its not fair to him he's been professional and patient. We have a 7ftr. TJD, and JK, get Loon off of the books, keep CP in an Iggy type role. Just hoop, Steph is on limited time, so is Dray, Klay, KD, even PG, we need athletic and younger ball players to even out our seasoned players. And Kerr MUST ABSOLUTELY find a plan and stick to it. It's hard to get consistent results when your not use to playing with the other 4 guys on the court.

[@510degreez]

Dejounte Murray!!! No one PG13

[@igweugo]

It's not over; we're now simply in the real transition. Steph/Klay are no longer carrying the offensive load for the Warriors, whether or not Klay comes back. As scary as it is, it's getting to be Steph and Kuminga doing that, with this season being the first year to start in fitting that. And eventually, if the development goes the way that folks expect, it'll be Kuminga and Steph carrying the Warriors (with Steph Curry being the 2nd option). The "two timelines" is finally done and dusted; we have Steph/Draymond/Wiggins as our vets, with Kuminga/Podziemski/Jackson-Davis/Moody as our contributing young guys, with everything else behind that. Bring back Klay and it's a blend of 4 young guys and 4 old guys, with a possible Big (Looney/Post) as the playoff rotation. Looney and Payton II are free agents next season, with another $17m in team salary coming off of the books, with that going back into settling in the team (Kuminga and Moody both looking at their rookie extensions)

[@Sirdontrip]

Are we trying to be the oldest team in the nba?

[@udaya6291]

Can't get Paul George If he opts out? Wouldn't we be able to do a sign and trade? I'd assume that's better for the warriors considering he is for sure to stay the year after....

[@callmegorgeouos]

Curry Trio, Paul George, Trayce, JK(if possible), GP2, Looney, Podz and others looks great!

[@yodasippin1317]

I don’t see a way they can do this deal really

[@Y-Kay]

READ THE COMMENTS SECTION LACOB!

[@callmegorgeouos]

W’s could package Wiggins/CP3/Picks/Moody and others except Klay and could still be threatened. If possible they keep JK; that would be great! W’s still need Klay; he could still play his roll as a shooter w/o him stressed out to be a Guard driving the ball into the basket. If Paul G on team; it would better for Klay to be comfortable Klay

[@chazgendrew]

Is simple. Imagine your the GM of the Clippers. Who would u ask for? Of course Kuminga. If i had to guess, Warriors might need a 3rd team. JK valueable, but not to Clippers- the timeline don't match. If i was clippers i would want 4 first round picks, and warriors to use JK to get Kawhi another piece.

[@ms.twillaway6663]

Do not trade PG

[@nacem360]

Damned if we do and dammed of we don't. 🤷‍♂️

[@breakindaflo7847]

Would it be possible to keep Wiggins and Kuminga in this deal? Imagine the two-way prowess of a Steph, PG, Wiggins, Kuminga, Draymond lineup 👀

[@mgw2745]

I would rather keeping Klay

[@chazgendrew]

No. Clippers not going to give us a valuable player and not get value back.

[@FullContactCoder]

Paul George is NOT the answer - he's another underperforming Wiggin's style player he can't be counted on in the post season

[@sting114]

There’s no other option. If no trade, 100 % curry will not compete for his 5th ring

[@rocbaby23]

PG has ave 21 pts in the playoffs vs wigs 16 . 6x all team 4x all defensive team . PG is light years ahead of wigs

[@ninerempire3398]

He’s nothing like wiggins and never played in a system like this or with players like steph/dray who will make it easier to score . He’s miles better than wiggins. I get he’s a little older , but he is much better than wiggins
