Thanks for the non clickbaity updates and breakdowns Randy!! Tbh I feel like we're going after the wrong guy from Utah, I think Walker Kessler's defensive presence in the paint is what we're missing, rather than another stretch 5 like Lauri!!

[robertorres]

Your amazingly informative great job, your detailed analysis is the best out there.

[raquelcarey]

I hope we get Lauri Steph needs the help 😤. Enjoying your videos all the way from the Bahamas 😎👍🇧🇸

I believe trading at this point will not yield the results GSW are looking will further disrupt the team mentally and future potential will be squandered...and like it or not Curry will be gone soon anyway...If anyone one has noticed the energy he requires to display his greatness is no longer there for an entire season and Lori will not move the needle sufficiently to compensate for his falling off...and before the commenters come for my head on a plate....watch the last two seasons with the vets and look at the best team performances when a mix of youth was included....Mark Jackson trusted the youth....GSW has to go back to that...Kerr has to find a way to unlock the team and forget that win now focus because once the team is unlocked they will win...

Markkanen is actually in the best possible situation lol.
2 years ago, he definitely wasn't expecting to be this highly valued or projecting to make what he's about to make in his next contract. Jazz fans love him, and they're ok with Not winning while keeping him.
So he's basically able to play bball at the NBA level, make a ton of money, and have no pressure/expectations to win now.

Apart from his seamless fit on multiple teams, his highest value is that 18m/year contract he has for at least 1 season if he doesn't renegotiate.
You can't get a player of his caliber for only 18m lol.

Similar to Curry in 2015, when he was only being paid 11m/year 😂

Once Markkanen is a 35m, 40m/year or higher(potentially) player, he's gonna cost too much for teams to just be able to slap him in without sacrificing their rosters.

Hopefully the Warriors Front office makes a trade for Nikola Vucevic. Floor spacing big man with good rebounding, passing and defense. I believe the Bulls are in a rebuild mode. The bulls could also package Lavine on a 3 team trade if the Bulls wanted to dish Lavine out

[sabrinamcrae]

Get the next best player with defense skills. Don't beg for this guy! Keep what you have. You have a better team than last year. If not this year for sure next year. Don't give up draft picks and our young core. You have chosen great shooters. If Markentin gets hurt, your draft picks are gone and your young core great guys. He is not worth it. Build this team because you do have good guys and get the chip next year! Gg❤

Here is real news...No other NBA team is currently interested in LM. The Spurs have 4 likely lottery FRPs and a few SRPs next draft. The draft is great. TheSpurs will continue to tank to try and capture the Flagg. Believe out to not... the Jazz ARE shopping LM, just stating they are not. The Jazz need to tank and LM and the vets are absolutely not in their future. LM likely has told the Jazz he does not want to be in on a 5-year tanking. LM holds all the cards. LM likely does not want to go to a team that just depleted all their assets to get him. That's just reality! You are welcome!

We can finally stop the lauri news😮‍💨 it would have been amazing but ainge is living in a fantasyland

[rey]

Without a good trade the Warriors are a playin team at best. Having a bunch of small ball players probably fine with Kerr.

[magicofshootingstar]

You said that they are going to raise Lauris salary minimum of 6 million and maybe 12 million. There is no point of him agreeing with 6 million raise since he can get more in free agency next summer. They will renegotiate him close to the maximum of 42 million, which is 24 million raise. At minimum his salary will be somewhere around 35 million depending on how they structure the extension.

[petebec]

If the Warriors could shoot like they did in 2017, we won't need Laurie.

[henrybraxton]

Lauri will not resign he wants to win. He can't win in Utah he will get his 💰 and go where he wants by playing out his contract and the Jazz and Ainge lose him for nothing. Like the Clippers did in PG

Far as us without Lauri our season is over before it starts. It's got nothing to do with JK and BP I love them they have great potential but with them we're just not good enough. Joe lied to us he doesn't want to win. Keeping those players does not help us win. It keeps the Warriors in the play in for maybe a decade because we're not going to the playoffs in the next 4 years without making a trade in 4 years Curry's promise over and he's gone and we definitely not going nowhere without Curry on the team we might as well let him go get a bunch of pics and be in the Cooper flag sweepstakes.

The top eight playoff teams which I don't believe that we can beat are Dallas OKC Minnesota Memphis Phoenix Denver Sacramento in the Lakers. Even we were fortunate enough to be the 8 seed we are first-round exit. I don't see this team beating the Lakers for the seed we don't have the height and the length to be AD and LeBron all the other teams are young teams so they're going to continue to get better.

Keep hearing potential as if LM can't be your future he has 8 years in him at 27 BP and JK are potential All-Stars LM is a All-Star and 7ft but all of a sudden we don't care about that we've been crying about getting bigger but now we want to stay where we're at... He shoots 40% from the field and grabs non rebounds JK grab 6-7 rebounds at best... Are off-season is trash 🗑️ no don't get me wrong I like the players what I'm saying is it didn't make us better to the point that we're a playoff team we're not trying to be bottom feeders which round of win championships adding those players will not get us out of the play in that's what I mean this season is over if you're excited to see the Warriors play next year so we can be in the play in ginger in heaven but if you're a fan that wants to see championships and see Curry be able to compete then you're mad.... I'm tired of the potential thing. Would you rather me give you a lottery ticket would the possibility of winning a million dollars or would you rather have me give you a million dollars? For some reason they think JK the next Kevin Durant and they think BP is going to be an All-Star in the West please tell me what guard he's going to push out in the west to be an All-Star? SGA Ant Murray Fox Luka Booker DeRozan I can go on BP is a nice player but he's not better than them.

I'm disgusted at this point I'm glad I got to see a dynasty and I will cherish those championships if this team stays the way they are dark times are coming for a long time.

I think it’s great that we didn’t get Lauri. They were asking for a ransom I don’t know why people where willing to give so much for someone who was gonna cost at least 33 million isn’t always healthy misses about 30 games and doesn’t even wanna be traded on a non guaranteed contract so he can stair up just leave after making us give our future

[rcbarnson]

WTF would they get our hopes up? Of course he is gonna take a ton to get.Mikal Bridges traded for 5 picks 1 swap. Dame, KD, Gobert and Donovan all huge packages in past few years. We want to do Steph dirty then don't pretend to try.

[pablodc]

Dealing with Danny Ainge is a losing proposition, like Utah in the wintertime, this the deal is frozen so let it go, let it go.

[bobtheaccountant]

You show up at my door wanting to buy my house. I say, it’s not for sell. You say, can I make you an offer? I say, sure I’ll listen but it’s not really for sell. You make an offer and I reject it. Then you accuse me of being unreasonable. Sound familiar Golden State fans?
