Melo personality different from KD.
Poole is a dude that came in with low expectations. Not the same at all.
At the time ,Steph was was a 3X Champion, 2X MVP (B2B, 1st Unanimous) and Top 13-15 (depending on who you ask) player of all-time that was looking for more and to climb higher. You really think he's going to care about a teenager taking away some jersey sales or getting more likes on his House of Hoops IG highlights? C'mon man

I barely come in here anymore but the notion that the warriors made the right choice by drafting wiseman and he didn’t play any minutes for them cause he’s *** butter so they won the championship is top tier nba thread dumbassery.
Warrriors draft lamelo and they are the favorite for as long as curry is healthy.

The same way HOF QB's don't want their team drafting a QB. I don't think Steph was telling them not to pick him but no PG would be happy if there team picks a another PG that high. All those accomplishments are why he wouldn't want it.

You clearly didn't read the whole thing if this is your takeaway but ok. I hope you have been doing well and have a Happy Thanksgiving.
This reasoning is sensible. I see where you are coming from but IMO basketball is a little different because in football QB is all-or-nothing because only one could play. GSW could run Steph/Melo minutes which would be
defensively but he is running with Poole and 2022 Klay so how much worse can it be . Steph is Kerr's guy and he is clearly still elite so it may have only stunted Melo's development tbh. Him getting PT in Charlotte with a shot at playing with Wemby may be best for his career.

speaking of drafting, the lakers have been pretty good at picking solid players. they just dont keep them around for long.

The Warriors not drafting LaMelo because Steph might get jealous of him is an all time ridiculous take in here and this thread has generated a ton of really bad takes.

I’d take drafting a bust but winning a championship over drafting a better prospect but not knowing if you’d win multiple titles (or any at all)

Where the Detroit pistons fans in here?

Even Lavar would not make this hot take

I know YOU not talking crazy
"Wrong" choice, right result is stressing more minds than I thought it would

Melo is my guy and CLEARLY the better player but are you certain Detroit gets 1 or more rings from 04 to 07 with him there?

Lamelo was like the 4th biggest personality in little old Charlotte last season. What’s his personality? Loud clothes? No reason to think GSW would try to suppress his lime green suit

i thought Steph not being able to share the spotlight with Melo Ball was a joke

Or you could always be the Sixers who drafts busts and quality players and max out as a 2nd round team with Glenn Rivers

I blame Ben Simmons returning to Philly for the takes today. Folks are warming up for the shenanigans tonight.

He’s definitely got a weird rotation on it. I assumed his issues were psychological - but it looks like there’s a mechanical issue too. Should have spent the summer fixing that.
