Calling kuminga a great on ball defender, tremendous defender...tells me people are focusing on one play he does make while ignoring the other 20 he misses.

[@FOUL-SHARPTON213]

Why didn't we get KAT? Have the warriors fallen off in free agency?

[@JP-pp2tn]

KAT wasn't a free agent

[@Velveteenvision]

His contract is also insane. He’s on his way to making almost 60 million a year in 2026. He’s a great player but…. Not sure if he’s worth that much

[@JP-pp2tn]

@@Velveteenvision with the new CBA rules i wonder how that affects contracts because teams are not going to be careless spending anymore with the new rules

[@javierlandaverde4108]

Getting KAT would have not been worth it and needed a three team deal because warriors can't go over the cap and most likely just to get KAT they would have to either get rid of Draymond Green or Wiggins.

[@kevinmclain4080]

Lmao

[@earlknightjr.1341]

Those 3 will do well!! I'm not even worried about them, except to see if Dray has improved his shot!! Also, the matchup's against the various teams is going to be very important!!! And all of them have to realize they have a BIG BULLEYE ON THE BACK OF THEIR JERSEYS!! Meaning, that All of Them, will have to play extra hard and (put up) or (shut up)!!! No one gets a FREE PASS THIS YEAR!! Including, Steve Kerr!!! Earl of ElBarrio,NYC,NY. 9/30/24

[@bobbarbas322]

Mike said that in the past, remembered Poole? Kuminga and Moody will be a trade piece for sure, I just hope both of them will be in a decent team that can let them play and develop to their full potential.

[@estabi]

The verb is "cohere" 😆

[@user-ek4nh8oq8f]

Huge part of being better on defense is having rim-protector. Dubs did not get a legit big. Unless Kerr plays Q-Post and he proves to be a 2nd round gem.

[@jaydussmartin1425]

Trade looney and someone else for Kelly olynyk a 6’11 sharpshooter who will fit well with the warriors and add more size that we desperately need then get Jonas valanciunas when he able to get traded then we got more size and space the floor better at the front court and we be better at rebounding.

[@atooda8742]

If we can be in the top tier of teams defensively, we got a shot at a deep maybe a late season blockbuster trade could give us a boost toward a title. Fingers crossed.

[@alexearly1291]

Post needs to be in the starting rotation. The Mav did it and it worked out well with lively. It's all coaching.

Who is our perimeter stoppers in crunch time?😮 Quentin Post could be developed as one. Andrew is a X factor

Draymonds savvy 😂

[@LeaFarNas802]

[@derekm4819]

Draymond, Wiggins and GP are all unreliable and or unpredictable. Podz draws charges, but he's not a great overall defender. The Dubs have a weak roster, no 2nd scorer and will be a Steph Curry injury away from being a lottery team. Dumleavy has done a terrible job building the roster. Draymond, Wiggins and Looney should've been shopped. Kerr will not play Post. get real and stop pretending the obvious is not reality. This off-season seems just like the off-season in-which they added D-Lo, then crashed and burned.
