  • Willard is great

    I think whiteys analysis is really good and not cliche, he supports his reasoning well. Dibs is cool but he interrupts a lot and prevents people at times from getting to interesting points

  • I'm out on 95.7 the shame

    Ray Ratto and Damon Bruce were by far my favorite radio personalities. I can't believe the station let them go, and kept the unlistenable Steiny and Guru. I'm deprogramming the station, i used to love listening, with Joe Lo & Dibs and Damon & Ratto. Now you're dead to me.

Anthony Slater: Warriors seem less eager to go big game hunting this summer
Q: Are they really in a position to pull off a big trade this summer, or will it be more about smart, incremental upgrades?

Anthony Slater: Warriors seem less eager to go big game hunting this summer
Q: So Slates, what's the Warriors' mindset this off-season after watching these two teams dominate?
The guest explains that while there is awareness of the need to improve, the Warriors are not aggressively chasing blockbuster moves; they may pursue mid-prime targets and leverage draft assets, while avoiding overpaying or wrecking long-term flexibility.
Full Show -- Thursday, May 21st
Q: What is the dominant strategy for the Warriors moving forward after Seth Curry's era?
The panel suggests a balanced approach: keep assets and picks to build a competitive core around Curry after he leaves, while remaining open to selective upgrades that improve on-field performance without sacrificing future flexibility.
Justice delos Santos Joins the Show
Q: What happens next if Trevor McDonald keeps pitching well?
If McDonald performs well, the rotation could re-shuffle to include him when Logan Webb returns, potentially pushing Tyler Malley out of the rotation, depending on performance and health considerations.
