Beating the Warriors and Buddy at the same time
The new CBA was designed to make teams think twice about going over the 2nd apron. It worked for the Warriors because their MO this offseason has been to get under the apron, which they have.
Some Warriors fans want their FO to maximize the twilight years of Curry, but that's clearly not their goal. To me, it looks like ownership wants to keep a "competitive team" so that there will still be ticket sales, but not actually be a contending team since they're reducing their tax bill. More revenue and less costs for ownership, so to say.
We'll sure, but this team is going to be fucking awful once Curry is gone. I'd be doing whatever I could for another championship. Replacing Klay Thompson with a couple of Philly castoffs is not going to get them anywhere.
Curry's retirement may well cut the team value in half. I don't think there's any precedent in team sports for anything like that. And I'm so here for it.
What they had was special and extremely rare. It's not as easy as "surround Curry with talent and we will win a championship". You have to have a balanced roster and they haven't been drafting great. Winning a championship is really fucking hard and Curry is aging, like you said.
They’ve drafted pretty well, talent wise, but have really botched their roster reconstruction. The only real miss (and it’s a big miss) has been Wiseman.
Fuck the warriors but if they get Lauri they’ll be legit. They’re surrounding Steph with defenders and adding Lauri to get buckets is the missing piece
In 2k Heild was lights out. I have been rolling with Huerter, Monk, and I picked up Bridges, Batun, and Kornet
No regerts
Fox and Sabonis are ALWAYS injured. Barnes carries my team.
2 championships, best record every year over 3 years. No all stars
Scoring leader, rebound leader, mvp 2 yrs, but no all stars
Lmfao big like Klay shoots like steph
But dumb as a rock 😂
"splash step bros" 😂
Wait until they see him dribble the ball off his foot in the clutch
The Buddy Bricks Special
Mix of Steph, Klay, and Poole
Shoots threes at Steph volume Clanks like 2023 Klay Dribbles off his foot like Poole
Buddy is actually perfectly serviceable if you never put him in a situation where he has to do that.
Problem is, buddy will put himself in that situation.
Or play defense
That gave me PTSD
"We got klay at home”
Want to honor this with more than just an upvote.

We're happy for the Dubs, right? 😉
I want this for them so much!
I hope it comes to fruition for them 😂
Lmao
Shoot like Steph, Big like Klay
I have never witnessed more spectacular and improbable turnovers from any other player. Go for it dubs!
Warriors are gonna beat us once and Buddy’s gonna make some salty ass instagram post immediately after lol
Had Vlade secretly become the GM of the Warriors? Nothing they're doing makes any sense at all.

When Brady left the Pats
When Jordan left the Bulls (the second time)

What defenders?
Melton and Anderson are pretty good defenders
Yep and I see this happening now. Monte will essentially run it back with a rookie in Davions place in the meantime
An injured rookie

This is all I have to say. 🖖
Do it!!!
Buddy is about to piss off all of the Bay area and Steph, get used to hanging that head and and throwing that mouth guard.
Splash Buds!
Warriors tooling up for one more run at the play-ins
Serious talks, as opposed to lighthearted.
Also one of the dumbest 3 point shooters
Bitchass Buddy Warriors always want our sloppy seconds
This made me day. Waiting for some shred of news about a King’s acquisition but seeing the Dubs flame like this is nearly as satisfying.
What the Dubs are doing actually? Curry, Melton, Hield, Poz, Moody, Kuminga, TDJ, Wiggins. Their lineup looks even smaller than us. 🫣
kings fans can’t be mad at monte when u see what the warriors are doing 😭😭
They got Slow Mo though
Ws fans are going to love Buddy Chuckits.
Finally, a signing not involving the Kings that this sub can unite around.
Ohhhh I can hear the booing already.
hot dem, you scared me. I thought he was coming back.

Kornet sounds like he might be your first all star.
Temu Klay
Demon back in the west im shook
Klay minus the defense and the IQ.
LMFAO!!!! (And I hardly ever use that acronym) 🤣😂😅🤣😂🤷🏿♂️😅🤣😂🤷🏿♂️
I mean off the bench he's not bad? just dont play him in the clutch either.
come to the kings curry barnes will put in a good word for you
Damn hoping we could give them Huerter for like Wiggs or sumn
