With the 19th pick, Warriors select Brandin Podziemski

[KevinMcreynolds]

Well the FO basically **** up again because they went into the season with rotation guys that Kerr clearly didn’t trust. Instead of trading Kuminga and Moody for “Kerr guys” they decided to wing it and hope for the best. Now Kerr is destroying those assets and they’ll get nothing for them. It’s really hard to understand how they let that happen two years in a row. The same damn mistake.

They might not have been getting good offers for JK, we don’t know. The OG rumors were something like JK and 3 1sts which is a ridiculous asking price. That’s probably why he wasn’t traded to anyone.

Moody doesn’t have much value, so it probably makes more sense to keep him and play him 10-15 mpg.

JK and 3 1sts would've been awesome if that's what it would've actually took. The actual rumor though was 2 1sts and JK. And we weren't willing to give up JK, but whatever. Getting any type of value for JK at this point will be a god send.

Still think Curry, Klay, OG, Wiggins, Dray would've done damage in the playoffs last year. This year though I'm not as sure since Klay is a cone on defense.

OG would be a perfect fit for us but Masai thinks he's the second coming of Scottie Pippen

Toronto doesn't want to pay him like the second coming of Pippen though.

So they will either pay him a max or let him walk or get a lot less return on a trade than he wants.

Why would Masai trade OG for anyone not named Steph? It would be a fireable offense.

NGL I'm keeping track of their season and they suck. If I were Masai I would be trading everyone for picks and tank this season to keep their draft pick since it's top 6 protected. They're going to have to pick a direction, hopefully for us they tank so we can pick up og and/or siakam.

[EvanZ]

OG is 26 years old. Even if you are going to rebuild there's no rush to trade someone that young. If he was 32 it would be a different story.

[wco81]

But he wants $30 million a year if not over $35-40 million a year.

That's what the Raptors are balking at. They let FVV walk for nothing rather than pay him or trade him for little return.

They also have a big decision with Siakam after this season, whether to give him a contract which would probably start at $40-45 million a year as he turns 30.

Then if they extended OG as well, that's a lot of money for a team that barely made the play-in and they're going to have to pay Barnes in a year or two as well.

They got their lucky championship so Masai gets to keep his job for awhile but if he lets OG walk for nothing, it's serious malpractice.

[EvanZ]

Who says the Raptors are “balking” at paying him? Just like the Warriors paid Poole, the Raps will pay dat man his money. You have to retain that asset in your cap.

Podz is a baller. And not just his breakout game, every time he steps on the court this young season he looks like he belongs. Props to those who wanted him on the Warriors.

[Twinkie defense]

Podz hasn’t actually “performed well” according to the metrics btw.

That's the problem with metrics then - especially on a small sample size.

[KevinMcreynolds]

metrics for when 2 starters are kicked out of a game and all of a sudden you’re playing 38 minutes instead of your typical 0 minutes against the other teams starters don’t seem like very reliable metrics

[KevinMcreynolds]

This dude plays really good team defense for a rookie. My guy is switching like a madman.

[floppymoose]

bump. good game tonight.

[Onus]

Podz is making it more and more likely we don’t need cp3 slowing things down.

The team needs both Podz AND CP3 in order to play optimally.

Let's hope that Kerr can figure out how to create rotations based upon merit and performance.

Even if Podz carves out a role - which he absolutely should - I'd still like CP3 on the roster for a ton of reasons, including slowing the game down. Rookies will invariably get too excited and have peaks and valleys, CP3 can be the steady hand. Its not going to be Curry or Dray doing it, that's for sure

[KevinMcreynolds]

more like Godziemski amirite

Podz can play with cp3 because he's small, yet doesnt play small. He's alot like gp2 in that regard.

The problem with our smallball recently is that when we went small with steph, klay, and cp3 or poole is that none of the above could defend much less play big.

Podz can do it for stretches, I loved him battling KL.

He's like one of those dogs who has no idea what his size actually is
