    Started latest pod. DONE.

    Don’t want AD. Or TM3. Or Damar.

    The whole point is they screwed picks when they had a chance to reload.

    Don’t blame for keeping picks now, more valuable than ever.

    Get a grip. Nothing is going to change the current situation including money.

    Whiners are never winners.

  • TLDR: Guys cosplaying endless ads

    I used to like this pod, but there’s now just WAY too much schilling for Prize Picks, Dexascan, blah, blah, blah. Fake dialog trying to simulate real conversations about how these PT Barnum products play meaningful parts in their lives. Sad.

    I get that there’s motivation to monetize, but the ads have overshadowed the original intent and passion for the Warriors. Now it’s bland and samey takes killing time between ad breaks. Guys care more about reading ads and collecting sponsor dollars tha... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Has Management Bailed on Steph Curry ft. special guest Anthony Irwin
Q: Walk me through where your head's at with this Kuminga situation and what you think the right move is for the Warriors given the current market.
The panel discusses that Kuminga's value and the market demand are evolving; the belief is that the longer Kuminga's camp waits, the better the offer might get, but the risk is losing a player who could fit a core. They emphasize evaluating fit, timing, and the balance between leverage and practicality, suggesting that teams should be prepared to pivot if the right deal doesn't materialize.
Officially the Offseason
Q: What are you looking for in the Warriors' offseason moves?
A concise, decisive plan with better internal development and prudent use of cap space, including potential two-for-one moves or strategic mid-level acquisitions.
Time for a Coaching Change or Evolution?
Q: If you had to put a percentage on Kerr returning versus leaving, what would you say?
I'd put it at 50-50 based on conversations I've had, acknowledging that some people think he's negotiating for more money while others think he'll stay.
Warriors Draft Talk with No Ceilings
Q: Who's projected in that 11-ish range or maybe a little after it would scare you the most for the Warriors?
Nate Amit stands out as the most concerning prospect in that zone due to inconsistent development and injury concerns, making evaluation tricky and elevating the risk of a misfit relative to his size and upside.
Will Giannis Be Traded? Brett Siegel on Warriors, Market Freeze & Deadline
Q: Do you think Giannis wants to sit and wait?
It's unclear, as information is kept behind the scenes, but Giannis's preferences are critical.
