I wouldn't be sold on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Warriors have been blessed by fleecing the Timberwolves for draft picks, then playing the tank game to perfection. Atlanta had a smart pick, but they also are trying to move Reddish, and who knows if they will retain Collins. We have made two really solid moves today, and we probably will make at least one more tonight. Chillax ***besides, the Hawks prolly wont make the playoffs next year if the league is serious about changing the officiating for foul calls. Trae won't be getting to the line 9 times a line.

Chillax Yeah if we were offered the value they got for D'Angelo Russell for Collin Sexton we may have pulled the trigger on that. Warriors are doing a great job adding prospects on top of their amazing core, but they also lost 2 prime seasons of those core guys who are all in their 30s now. It's a pretty hefty price in those terms, they would have been finals contenders the last 2 seasons if they were healthy. How many seasons will they have where they're at full strength? Are these prospects going to fit that timeline? They could be shipping Kuminga, Moody, or Wiseman out for another title run before their window closes.

Love was worthless, Larry was hurt, Wade did his best, but he is best as a role player off the bench in limited minutes. We still have some offensive needs for sure, depending on how Garland continues to progress as well as Okoro. Defensively I think we are going to have a huge step forward. Rubio, Okoro, Nance, Mobley, Allen, Stevens are a pretty strong defensive group. I think we have the guys to help offset the issues we will see with Sexton and Garland. People also forget that he was a solid defender in college and was expected to be a strong defender as a pro. Maybe getting some floor time with Okoro, Larry, Mobley, etc. will help with that.

carl_sjunior Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 We did it boys. We did the smart thing. Love how a couple people have already begun backtracking on not liking him. Imagine being worried about Mobley but absolutely sold on Kuminga. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trae won't be getting to the line 9 times a line. This is going to be really interesting to see play out. Obviously Young is talented and a professional and should make adjustments, but he's still a smaller guy that kind of had to outsmart the defense to get calls. He could struggle.

I am looking forward to this change for sure. Okoro last year got called on so many of those crap fouls, guys kicking legs out, diving into him instead of going up to take a normal shot, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to be down trodden But Cleveland could have been given the First 3 picks and still not make the playoffs My daughter in her left hand crossover Dribble can take sexton off the dribble.

When fully healthy the Cavs played relatively well last year. The problem is they were very rarely healthy. I doubt even %10 of the year. With Mobley we’re immediately a better defensive team. He will hide our “short”comings at guard. BTW I’m REALLY looking forward to Mobley playing with Garland 🤩. You guys think Allen and he played well together just wait until Garland plays with a bonafide stud. Oh and Rubio was a nice pick up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
