If he doesn't come back relatively soon and plays at the level required from him, then he needs to be shipped off immediately once the summer hits.

Unfortunately it sounds like it's not an overreaction. Kerr is on 95.7 saying they don't know when he'll be back. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
I was right about 3 point shooting. I expect to be right about Tacko Fall. Some coach will figure out how to use Tacko Fall. This movement towards undersized centers will sweep ng back. Back to the basket scorers will return to the NBA.

Kerr just said Moody is going to start tomorrow.

Yes, what part of what I said is wrong? Kerr is saying as of today they don't know when Wiggins will be back. And they won't say anything other than "personal reasons", "Wiggins would like to keep it private"....we've literally seen this before.

Even last year, I wondered how the family stuff with Miles Bridges fed into all this. Odd that it happens now, right after Charlotte was in town.

It's so hard to keep track of who's wasting Curry's year. Kerr, Klay, Wiggins, Draymond, and probably more. They all have it in for Curry!

I like this answer and I have no problem with it. Wiggs is a known quantity. We have other guys dying for playing time and we're dying to see them get significant run. As long as Wiggs comes back all smiling and energy like he has been it's a win-win.

Moody better play well. If Moody does not play well we can give the Wiggins minutes to Podz, Klay, Quinones, Kuminga and Payton but Moody might be more similar to Wiggins than any of those guys. Maybe Kuminga is more similar but Kuminga was already getting minutes.

I don’t care what he does now that the team is more stable and easy schedule. As long as he shows up for playoffs he can take whatever time he needs.

It hasn't happened much but Moody and Minga play well together, iirc. I would love to see Minga, Moody and Podz develop some chemistry together.

I mean he showed up for the playoffs last year and wasn't even remotely in playoff shape physically or mentally. Part of why we are stable and winning right now is because Wiggins was hitting his stride. This is potentially a major setback for the Warriors that will require Moody to instantly produce in Wiggins spot. I think he can do it but this isn't ideal.

Interesting that most of their minutes are with a front court of Saric and/or CP3 running point, and those lineups have mostly struggled. Funny enough, what seems to unlock them from a +/- standpoint is getting Podz in. Great small sample size with Trayce at the 5 too. Essentially, they are better off and running instead of slowing down and watching the CP3/Dario half court show.

Too much is being made of the fact that the absence is for "personal reasons." It's not like that. Wiggins isn't Generation Z. A Generation Z employee would be requesting time off to take his emotional support guinea pig to therapy. :D


Hahahaha, best post I've ever seen from you here. Gotta give you that.

Like others have said, it's a golden opportunity for Moody... let's see how he handles it.
