The Warriors enabled Green for long, this issue should have been addressed a long time ago. I just feel bad for Curry. He has stayed healthy but now has to carry dead bags of salt as team mates until he retires.
But fr, why does he have to continue with those guys? He's way too quiet for my liking tbh. Na why I no dey drag LeBron. He knows when to move. Steph can't just be contented with everything going on. Kerr and the management are a different clown. I no longer watch the games and I'm still pained.

The warriors franchise were never serious about winning anything

I said this at the start of the season when the best they could do was trade for a weak Chris Paul

I dey one corner dey laugh. Kerr himself is a huge reason for the warriors franchise losses
How can you be loosing 7 games in a row and you are content to keep the so called vets (Draymond and Klay).
Me sef dey the other corner dey laugh.

I was casually scrolling through my Sofascore app and said let me check Standings. Lo and behold our calabash tournament champs are in the 8th seed? Hmmm. I comment my reserve

I dey sorry for Suns. Them don enter one chance with Bradley Beal and his no trade clause. You have to wonder what is going through KD's mind. Perhaps e for just dey Nets jeje

Did anything happen? Ofcourse if GSW gets a good win nobody talks. cheesy grin. This team is very interesting though. Very unpredictable. I won't be surprised if dem meet Nuggets in the first round eliminate dem. The team has shades of "very good" and average at best. Many of their games have been close.

The supporting cast is surprisingly good.
The first Team were the issue. As Klay and wiggins were basically useless and Draymond wouldn't stop trying to murder someone.
Klay has improved.
Wiggins has been relegated to the Bench.
And Draymond is suspended indefinitely.
The organisation really needs to make a decision on Draymond and wiggins.

If I say 2022 was the easiest championship anyone would ever win, you'd say I'm hating.

Round 1. Against a Denver team that had Murray and Porter Jr. out. Jokic was literally all by himself

Round 2. Ja gets injured in game 3 and didn't return for the rest of the series. Warriors win 4-2

Conference Finals. Against a Dallas team that had Luka all by himself. Porzingis had just been traded

That Warriors team had 3 all-stars on it that year. I asked you Warriors fans to show me 2 other teams that had 2 all-stars (not 3) that year, and you couldn't. In fact, better still, show me a LeBron team that ever had 2 other all-stars on it.

Superteam no be by name, it's by production on the court. Steph had 2 other all-stars on his team in 2022. And Klay wasn't even one of them.

All these factors combined and the Lakers still could not make the playoffs.
I mean, you couldn't even make the playoffs with all these pathetic teams in front of you.
You also forgot that as pathetic as all these Teams were, the warriors were given close to Zero chances of winning the Title.
Also this is coming from a Lebron fan who won most of his championships as the overwhelming favourite including his losses, losing to an aging spurs team and a Dallas Team with only Nowitzki.
Even though he had wade and Bosh.
You also cleverly omitted the fact that the warriors won the championship against the best Team in the league and they were all Healthy, yes the Celtics.
If they ran through mediocres, getting to the finals, surely they'd have lost against the celtics, don't you think?
And by 3 All Stars, you mean Wiggins and Draymond grin grin grin grin.....
Nigga, you surely do not think those two were among the best players in the league, do you?
Everyone knows the All Stars is a popularity contest. Klay was getting votes the season he was out injured.
Scratch that shit..

I could tell you we didn't make the playoffs because of AD's injury, but I'm sure you already knew that grin

Lol. So fans just voted Wiggins and Draymond because they had nice hair grin, or because they were the most popular guys in the league? If they were voted all-stars, it's because they played at an all-star level that year.

And you say the Warriors were given close to zero chance of winning the championship. I kind of agree. Not because Steph had a bad team, but because the media and basketball fans have a different standard for Steph. Steph with 2 other all-stars on his team, plus Klay, plus Poole averaging 20ppg was given zero chance of winning the championship. LeBron can even relate. LeBron is expected to win the championship even if he is the only all-star calibre player on his team and is hobbling on one leg.

Trust me.
Lebron was never favored to win any championship without his superTeams.
And he has not won any champions with a mediocre Team......
The Team that got clobbered by Denver last season were far better than that 2022 Team...
LeBron knows he cannot win anything with average players..
They are currently dangling in 8th position with AD, reeves and Dlo.
Give steph AD and I guarantee you, the warriors would be NBA champions, and you pretenders would come online to scream foul play.
The Lakers are currently trying to recruit Lavine to assist them....

Bucks could finally be getting our MOJO back... "Khash-Money" Middleton, Malik are all stepping up their game. We truly need to fund away to always put the Celtics to rest easily, especially at TD.
Re: The NBA Begins by Blueelf: 9:32pm On Dec 23, 2023
Please guys

Stop arguing with Lebron Fans. It is akin to watching Nollywood movies.

Your IQ reduces the more you argue with them

Now, to the issue at hand, Draymond and Wiggins should be traded

I am tempted to say that I will take any first-team player in any team for both of them. That's how atrocious and unhelpful they are to the team

It took a suspension for it to be clear to the GSW franchise that Draymond is not the heart and soul of the team but is the main bringer of unnecessary scandals and drama. It's time we move on from him

That's the problem. Isn't it shameful that an organisation of that magnitude would take so long to realise that Klay, Draymond were done like 2 seasons ago. Draymond should have been traded a long long time ago. We've been needing a defensive big for years now and what did they do? Add Wiggins, CP3. That team is not serious.

Since A. Silver tied regular season appearance (at least 65 games) to the MVP, All NBA, MIP and Defensive player, we have witnessed a significant drop in rest. Immediately their monies have been tied (Max/ Supermax contracts/ some extensions) to playing more we are seeing superstars play more games. When I said the league and TV partners were done with the nonsense, this was what I was talking about. Can’t be paying you all that money to sit out games in the name of rest!
