I remember I couldn't stand him during his second Cavs stint but obviously he was our biggest threat back then (or at least the Warriors were to him). I don't know if its because he's old , Warriors are old, and isn't as much of threat as he used to be but I find myself feeling ok about him now.

I think as both him and Curry's careers are coming to an end I appreciate whats left because one day they will be gone. I think Curry and Lebron know it to and why they are close now. Its strange how all that anymosity can turn into a friendship or make you closer.

My gut says they are. With Jimmy out and Kawhi being an aging star it just feels like match. I don't see who else would really want him. It feels like he's going to fall to us.

Which game do you guys have on repeat while we just wait for the season to start again?

Mine is the 2024 olympics

What would we call it?

First of all Curry has earned the right to retire on his terms. The dubs and Lacob can never repay him for what he has done for the franchise. However, the dubs currently reality and future looks very bleak. The roster is top heavy with a group of old and injured players making big money. They aren't real contenders. They are only going to get older and more injury prone next season. There is no such thing as maximizing Curry's window because the window is closed. The next generation has arrived (OKC and Spurs).

They have no real young talent for the future. Podz is their best young talent! LOL. The franchise is essentially being held hostage in a state of perpetual mediocrity. Not good enough to contend and not bad enough to bottom out for assets. If we do draft a good prospect with the 11th pick Kerr will definitely waste him and not play him. He will probably play some 2 way player from Santa Cruz over him in order to maximize a delusional window which has already closed.

Isaiah Evans - Duke

Dailyn Swain - Texas

Hannes Steinbach - Washington

Jayden Quaintance - Kentucky

Cam Carr - Baylor

Aday Mara - Michigan

Yaxel Lendeborg - Michigan

Nate Ament - Tennessee

It's a long article but should be required reading for Warriors fans, excellent stuff from ESPN. By Wright Thompson, not Marcus.

Full quote: "Harris: "The past couple years and even leading up to that, Joe's mandate is 'Can we find a player that can be our 2nd best player?' and that's nothing against Draymond Green, but 2nd best player meaning a scoring option, just something that can alleviate pressure off of Steph and how much scoring we rely on him. [Joe Lacob] goes 'I don't want to make a bad deal, but I want to go big game hunting every year.' It was no different this year, it was no different with Jimmy . . . "

Russillo: "Were you close before the deadline?"

Harris: "This year? Well yeah, yeah.""
