this loving article https://www.sfgate.com/warriors/article/warriors-jordan-poole-perfect-tanking-wizards-18167787.php?IPID=SFGate-HP-CP-Spotlight

quote:

The third trade, though, is the one that showed how serious this new front office was: dealing Chris Paul to the Warriors for Jordan Poole.

Even at 38, Paul’s basketball genius and veteran savvy would have been enough to give the Wizards some wins they definitely didn’t deserve — just look at the surprisingly frisky 2019-20 Thunder. The Wizards must have seen that possibility and decided not only that they wanted no part in those victories but also that they wanted the antithesis of that kind of veteran presence on the team. Poole checks both anti-boxes perfectly.

Over the past six months or so, Poole went from future star to liability as the Warriors decided they were out of patience while Steph Curry’s title window is still open. Financially, his upcoming salary would have forced the team into the more draconian penalties of the Warriors-targeted collective bargaining agreement. On the court, his reckless gunning and impression of a drunk baby giraffe while dribbling played a significant role in the Warriors’ postseason elimination.

I'm not terribly excited about Chris Paul but gently caress yes, give the ball to someone that won't turn it over in the last 30 seconds thank you very much.

yeah but there’s tons of people like that. malik fitts won’t turn the ball over either

Poole was a special case of pride completely removing all sense of reason. Anyone that could dribble the ball would be better in those moments -- fact is I don't even know why the gently caress they let him handle the ball at the end of the game unless it was a catch and shoot situation. I'm assuming they told him to stop that poo poo and he just ignored them.

I think Golden State is making a bad deal with Green for what they are offering him, because that completely destroys them signing a bunch of supporting players... but they need Green.
So they are basically going to lose a poo poo ton of talent to keep Green, and their solution is Chris Paul? I gotta see how this works for them too, lmao.

golden state got a white kid from wisconsin who transferred to santa clara. podziemski, numbers say he can shoot so maybe the rookie can replace poole with off-ball bench minutes.

personally i think they should call alen smailagić, he shot 50% as back-up center for partizan belgrade, does he want a million bucks? does golden state have room for that? i am not a creative roster builder and it seems like half of these moves are resigns and extensions anyway.

we up kuminga's minutes and pray young glove stays healthy. running it back. sacramento still look more interesting.

nah man Chris Paul is getting all of Poole's minutes, they are obviously looking at building a better second squad with Chris Paul as the leader, and then Paul can finish off the game in the 4th passing to Curry and Thompson. The question is, will there be enough defense? This is where Kuminga comes in. With Kuminga and young glove and Thompson (can he still play elite defense), can Green still play good defense???? That is where the story goes. It is going to be interesting. And they are betting that limiting Paul's minutes means he won't be injured when they need him.

Here we loving go.

The Warriors were infamously 33-8 at home last year compared to 11-30 on the road

Now they are 1-5 at home, 3 losses away from last year's home loss total, and 5-2 on the road, 6 wins away from last year's road win total. Weird

They started well but have lost 5 straight. Home or away has nothing to do with it. They have a lot of poo poo to fix, and Kerr better be willing to start looking at some lineup changes because they are cooked if something doesn't change.

Wiggins outplayed all but one Celtics player in the 2022 finals and helped the Warriors come back down 2-1

I don't think its ever really come out from last year exactly what was going on with Wiggins and his "family" issues... it does not surprise me that he's had a slow start this year at all though.
