I don’t know. All the Warriors podcasters have said Trey is the dream scenario. They need shooters and scorers who can play at least serviceable defense. I don’t think they’d do it either because they’re very cautious about extending much past the next two years. They want to take a shot and then all their contracts come off the books in two years. So I doubt they’d pull the trigger to leverage the future, but I think they should for Trey.


Warriors have to figure out a way to beat OKC...and Denver. To beat OKC, you gotta slow down SAG...that means Herb...not Trey. Warriors problem is defense...not offense. To beat Denver, you gotta be prepared to double and swarm Joker...you just can't leave one man on him. Once again, a swarming defense with Herb is MUCH better than a swarming defense with Trey.

Of course, I could be wrong...but I'd be pretty shocked if Golden State comes after Trey...instead of Herb. Seems to me Herb is just a much better "fit" for them...given their roster...and key opponents.

Herb is just the better player as of now. frick a trade, I want to see this roster actually play together. There is glaring talent at every position, Zion has to stay healthy and Trey needs to keep improving. If Dejounte returns as a similar player, this will be the deepest guard room I can ever remember us having. 3 different guards who can create will be huge for the regular season and minimizing wear and tear on Z’s wheels.

You're probably right...and there's really no reason to make a move involving Herb....barring injuries of course...until February deadline...unless we get some kinda insane offer that we have to go ahead and do.

Part of this is that it is the Lakers.

That’s a combo of firsts not being available for a long time and likely being at the back end of the first because of Luka.

And on top of that, frick the Lakers on principle.

NEVER been a fan of Valanciunas BUT...as a backup for the Joker...in very limited minutes...he should be quite useful for Denver. Plus, they finally got rid of Porter, Jr.


Why would a team want saric over valancuinas. Saric hasn't even played much the past couple of years.

And it was a straight swap.

It’s the Kings. Expecting sense is asking too much.

At this point, his value to us is extraordinary, because he's our starting center and we still lack depth at the position. Dumars shouldn't even answer the phone.

Missi is the whole point of getting a first round pick: hitting on a player like him.

So why would we trade him?

I wouldn’t, we’ve already got what we want in him.

Saric is half the costs. Kings were simply shedding salary in order to pay for Shroeder. It’s an ok move.

The Kings got Saric to get Schroder?
The horror of that statement.
Are the Kings the worst team in the NBA suddenly?

Exactly. More first round picks don’t necessarily mean better players than Missi. In all likelihood, it means worse players.

With the pelicans luck, they better stay the course.

Lakers will never have a pick worth it.

We should all block him. Can someone explain to me the steps to block someone on this board. I can't figure it out.

Can’t. Only higher ups can ban these idiots. There is no option to hit “ignore poster.”

He's probably an alter for that dude who deleted his account and left the board a little while back. I can't for the life of me remember his name.
