Is This The End For The Warriors? + Panic Growing For Knicks & Time For Detroit To Go All-In?

1. How does a team that just won the cup go into this funk; I just don't get it. I think trading Kat could help because I don't think you can win with him. Giannis perhaps?

2. Warriors going back to reality

3. Welp, it clearly wasn't Tibbs lol

4. the very unfortunate thing is having Kerr and Mike Dumbleavy. give them top players and they wont win.

5. Trading for Butler and giving him 50mil a year was always a mistake. They overpaid and now they're seeing the outcome. He is a good player at half the price.

   The GM needs to go. The roster is his accountability and when you've got a Top 10 all time player you can't make mistakes like this.

   At this point they should do the best by Steph and trade him.

6. Pat Riley ain't no fool, but Mike Dunleavy sure is

7. Laker-Haters – as petty as grown men can be. All we hear from them is how awful the Lakers are, yet the Lakers just keep winning. They quote every statistic they can find to trash the Lakers, BUT won't discuss the only statistic that matters (Wins and Losses). And the Lakers get Austin Reaves back within the next 10 days.

8. The Cavs messed up their chemistry last year with that trade nothing has been the same since

9. They took away inside the NBA for this ……

10. If Giannis became available there’s about 15 teams with better packages than the warriors can put together

11. Jimmy Butler is done. He’s 36, coming off a torn ACL, and by the time he steps on the floor again he’ll be 37. The idea that he’s coming back anywhere close to the same player is fantasy. History is brutal on aging stars with this injury, especially in the first year back. Anyone selling optimism here is lying to themselves.

    There is no trade market for this guy. What GM is touching that contract plus a 37-year-old Butler rehabbing an ACL? None. Zero. I said from the start that trading for Butler and handing him that deal was organizational malpractice, and unfortunately the results are exactly what everyone with common sense saw coming.

    And let’s be real, Jimmy Butler is not a plug-and-play asset. You don’t “just trade” him and move on. He’s demanding, volatile, and already angling for another extension. Jimmy has played his last game as a Warrior; not because he’ll be flipped, but because he won’t be ready until late next season, and by then Golden State will be irrelevant. This ends the same way it always does injured star, bad contract, no outs.

12. 479 here

13. RIP Warriors & espn

14. Why are you talking about the clown car warriors like they are contenders and trade with millwakee

15. Michael Porter was available for everyone via Denver. Now that he's the Net's offensive focus, talking heads want him elsewhere. Now that he's on a team that he's free to do everything, I doubt he wants to go back to being a spot up shooter.

16. Don't wait to talk baby Blazers, they'll be all grown up before you know it😎

17. Detroit "could" win this year with a healthy Kyrie. And then when that doesn't pan out and Kyrie ages out and we've gutted our core, we can go back to being mediocre for a generation. Pistons are effin loaded with young talent right now. There is absolutely no need to rush this winning process. The East will be a lot tougher next year and the Pistons need to be one year better. Detroit can contend for a generation if they play it right. Time will come for the right move. Thank the Lord Bontemps isn't our GM.

18. Keep JK and play him this season. Ask Kerr to retire. (offer a banner rafter ceremony next season). Apply asap next season for the DPE for Jimmy. The reason he might comply is you secretly offer him the vacant head coaching job. If the league doesn't approve the DPE then stretch Jimmy's contract. Why Jimmy might accept this? Convince him that an ACL at his age isn't likely garner getting him big contract. Offer enough, for enough years to make it worthwhile. Kerr is getting $17.5 million per year. I'd offer Jimmy $20 million for 5 years. He's not likely getting that much as a player. And his knowledge of the game and what players need emotionally makes him a great coaching candidate.

19. Right?

20. Returning from an ACL & being a reliable, consistent contributor on a team chasing a championship are two different things

21. If Kerr was a great coach, he would have rid of DRAYMOND by now (u know, the guy that was suspended during game 5 of the finals and disrespected KD and Poole so they both left the team…) If Kerr wasn't idiotic enough to take Draymond's side (by allowing+enabling Draymond's idiocy for over a decade now..), Curry would have way more championships with KD. It isn't rocket science. Choices have consequences though.. enjoy old man Draymond, he's really better than KD, POOLE + KUMINGA too… 😂 🤬. First game back after barely playing all season, Kuminga had more impact IN ONE QUARTER than Draymond has in a whole game. Kerr + Draymond are holding Curry back, PERIOD. Oh well, they've made their bed…

22. 62 win pace is insane, DEEETROIT BASKETBALL!!!!

23. Time to rename this the "Hoop Interruption" since all 3 are often talking over each other. Still like the content, but please show more respect for each other.

24. Flub nation can eat a d!ck
