Yes, that's exactly what they should do. Develop the young players that's on this team next year. You would have some very good chips to trade or to build around.

[@jskobe808]

Should go after Cam Johnson instead.

[@usernotfound3]

I watched a lot of him this year and to be honest, he wouldn’t be worth that money for this team. You’re getting him for his shooting essentially and he’s just okay defensively. Plus, You would probably have to give up a protected first rounder as well, I’d rather not.

[@ginjjiigok364]

Everyone on the dubs and the media is making this so difficult. JUst surround Steph with tall athletic players who can play def and we will make it to the playoffs

[@michaelschlein8346]

Right now, this team has extra pieces, but it's set up perfectly for complementary trades down the line to sure up the roster with all the redundancy and easily movable contracts. Maybe you play Post and TJD at center, and it works well, but if you need another big, how about Steven Adams?! Moody + Looney = Steven Adams. Wendell Carter is also similar salary and would stretch the floor, but may require draft capital. There are lots of potential deals you can swing from anything from a minimum guy to a KD with this roster. You just have to be patient and wait to see what the team really needs and what deals become available. Depending on how things shake out early, a lot of good players can become available if teams have a surprise bad start, or teams decide to tank harder for Flagg

[@Lifeinnaframe]

We should just wait till the trade deadline next season, let these young ones show us what they can do and by the time the trade deadline comes we’ll have more info on our situation.

[@stevenshore6640]

Plowdens shots go to the bottom of the net. He seems to have accurate radar. Maybe it has just clicked for him in the summer league, But if it has, we may have another Klay. Wow!

[@GeorgeMack-wr9sk]

I'll say it again. The warriors need to stay Pat. Wait until trading line, come up again. See what you have now so that you can make a wise decision later on. Then you will be ready to make a championship run. Making wise decisions, not a decision just to make somebody happy.

[@chrischipman2486]

You can’t get Markennan for a couple shitty draft picks. If you want to keep your young players then focus on rebuilding then. If I was Steph I’d look for another team to finish out my career.

Not sure, all I’m saying is we need people that can create their own shot, plus we’re guard heavy! He’s not that guy, trade him for Lauri.

I agree with Dan except Draymond because he can't stay on the court due to fighting, so is he really about winning.

Of course Draymond is about winning. In those moments where Draymond loses it, he's not thinking much of anything, that's the problem.

[@rcbarnson6488]

@@Tasha-c2e Dray is trash. He is dirtiest player in league and who knows how many chips he cost us when he ran off KD. Did us a favor with Poole though. In today's league can only have 1 player on court who can't shoot which hampers us. Making it so we have to get a 7' dude like Markkanen who shot 8 3s a game last year.

So lets call it what it is, a rebuild. This team will see the same issue this year as last yr. Teams will blitz Curry and wear him out, and tell them JK or Podz have to beat us. And neither can win at a high level yet and we shouldnt expect it. So see us being 7 or less seed (most likely out of playoffs again), remember Houston will be better, Memphis will be healthy, etc.

[@MaxPotentialGreatness]

I still think we should’ve went for zach Lavine since we don’t have to give up none of the young core and plus the bulls are giving us a first rounder. We could make something shake with that. Frfr . And i think from a basketball standpoint he would thrive more than he ever has. Playing alongside steph would motivate zach in my opinion. These are the things people dont think about. Everything is always about contracts. Steph zach jk dray ? Podz melton Heild TJD Solid rotation if fill out the center position

[@markmedina4791]

This Dan guy has got to be the most soft lay down and D type. You got Steph Curry a top ten player all time great shooting goat still playing at a high level you ride that S until the wheels fall off then and only after Curry retires you go be mediocre like this Dan guy.

[@daniloq.santiago8359]

pls. warriors, keep brandin p. on the roster and if ever there's a trade let go of kuminga and wiggins.

[@rcbarnson6488]

Dan is not a real one. You dont watch Lauri. Fine who watches the Jazz. At least take 2 min to look up stats. Dude is 7' takes 8 3s a game. Actually was more efficient shooter than Steph last year except ft he is 90% Steph 92%. He is one of those freak 7' dudes that shoot just a notch below Steph. KD, KAT, Porzingis type dude but younger. Trading Steph cant be an option, but we dont pull off this trade then that is best move for both parties. We need to back Steph and give him a real shot. Kuminga gettin paid next year then we stuck with rebuild. Comparing Lauri to Lavine is criminal.

[@ninerempire3398]

Why is it criminal? He hasn’t had played in a significant game in his nba career, he’s not even a lock to play 60 games a year, is 7 foot but can’t protect the rim or guard bigs , and isn’t able to switch out onto the perimeter . These are huge question marks for the price tag they’re asking for

[@themetalpig7613]

I'm worried about Lauri's durability. It's too much to cough up for him. Wiggins and picks should be the offer, or move on, Ainge asking too much for a guy he knows isn't going to be around for the end of their rebuild.

[@michaelschlein8346]

What if you wait and MIN has a surprise bad start (maybe Edwards blows a knee), and KAT is available for less (better Markkanen)?! What if MIL or MIA struggle to start and want to shed salary in Giannis or Butler? PHX struggles and wants to move KD? There are potentially other, better deals, down the line, IF you're patient. No need to be desperate and get scammed by Ainge!
