Warriors draft talk sent me down the memory lane of horrible draft nights and wasted lottery picks. gently caress you, Mike Dunleavy Jr.

I know it's probably a slim chance but would anybody be really surprised if Kerr retired with his back issues?

I've been talking about that with a friend, and yeah, I could see him talking a (much) smaller role in the organization. I am not ready for the Mike Brown era though.

Also thinking about man v. man defense I thought Klay was way more important in that finals series than Steph. Klay should get the absolute most money you can spend on a 3D guy.

A friend of mine who watches just as much basketball as any self respecting SAS nerd keeps on making GBS threads on Klay and it's the weirdest thing. It's like we're watching two different players. Klay is the best.

Jimmer Fredette did something really cool during a charity event in Utah on Friday. Fredette and his foundation raised money for Heritage, a residential treatment center for adolescents. To do that, he shot 92 out of 100 three-pointers for over six minutes, while his old BYU teammate Jackson Emery fed him the ball.

And while Lonzo Ball has been dreaming of restaging the Magic-fueled Showtime in Los Angeles, Phil Jackson has been conducting triangle tryouts with the fresh-faced likes of Malik Monk, the former Kentucky shooting guard.

“That’s what we did the whole workout, going over the triangle,” Monk said with an I’m-being-serious smile.

6'9 225 athletic as gently caress people are comparing him to Draymond idk about that though, he's a different player.

His tournament run was SUPER good. There was no way you COULDN'T pay attention to him or know his name (especially if you were a fan of the losing team).

He averaged like 13 rebs per game, of which like 4-5 were offensive. He was so dominant on the boards and on defense. Against Kansas he went for 11/13/8 blocks. Was amazing.

I don't think his offense is nearly as terrible as people are making it out to be, and Bob Meyers said they had him pegged in the 1st and to be honest, I'm surprised he didn't go earlier.

Sounds good!
