Word is Warriors didn’t like D Lo right?
Wonder what he did or if it was the same immaturity issues that got him out of LA

Somebody tell me why a future disgruntled star would be shipped to the Warriors over the Knicks or Thunder.

Wiggins + top 5 2020 pick + 2021 Minnesota pick is what the warriors have to offer.

knicks have: 7 first rounders in the next 4 years to offer (Their own upcoming lottery picks + 2 from Dallas + 1 from Clippers) + Portis/Randle as salary filler + Robinson/Knox/Trier/KneeLaKeyNah + Barret (if needed) as young prospects.

okc has:
2020 first rounder from Denver + their own pick is protected 0-20
2 2021 first rounders (2 best from OKC, Miami & Houston)
2022 first rounder from clippers + their own pick is protected 1-14
2023 first rounder from Miami + their own + pick swap with Clippers if needed
2024 first rounders from Houston & Clippers + their own pick
2025 own first rounder (can pick swap with Houston or Clippers)
3 2026 first rounders (Clippers, Houston and their own)

Wiggins plus 2 lottery picks does not beat what those 2 teams can offer.

**** LIGHT YEARS YALL STUCK WITH WIGGINS

I mean wasn’t the plan to always trade him to
Minnesota?

Wasn't everything about him personality-wise pretty positive in Brooklyn?

Honestly it just seems like they figured he wouldn't be a fit with Curry defensively, which is cool, but they are bad mouthing him on his way out.

That was Minnys plan but also I think Dubs could’ve got a better return from someone else so maybe.
Ive seen a couple beat writers say the organization wasn’t a fan of him since the trade though.

warriors never liked Dlo. They literally only got him cause that was their only option to improve as a team. he never fit and any thing they said about trying to fit him in was ********.

Dlo is like the antithesis to Warriors ball anyway. Doesn’t defend and dribbles the **** outta the ball. I know Dray and Kerr despised how he played from day 1.

they couldve waited for the summer or even the deadline next year to trade him but they knew they had a Dummy brick and they wanted to get rid of him ASAP.

That’s the #LightYears way. I remember all the **** they leaked to the media bad mouthing KD. **** was a joke.

I think GS would’ve preferred Roco to Wiggins but they were too late to the party

Celts and Lakers are both getting washed in the conference finals by the 2 best teams in the league, the Bucks and Clips. They are in the same position. One team is just younger.

at you thinking the Celtics are making the Conference finals.. you don't even believe that. Hence why your living vicariously through the Clippers this season.

Also out of your top 8 players in minutes 2 of the 8 are under 25... and one of them is already getting paid Veteran's Money. Rest of the Roster filled with Young Late 1st rounders and you talking like they the Grizz or the Pels

Ya'll talked all this **** about being the team of the future for three seasons just to be in the middle of another rebuild om putting together mediocrity. CONGRATS Welcome to the Paul Pierce/Antoine Walker era again.

Not according to Zach Lowe. Says that D’Lo’s trade value amongst league circles wasn’t as high as fans assume. My only gripe was the protection on the 2021 pick.

If they turn around and get a 2022 unprotected pick in the double draft, that would make it even better.

Why would I not think the Celtics could make the ECF?

I think there is a strong possibility that they wind up on the other side of the bracket from both Milwaukee and Philly. They are flat out better than Miami and are probably pretty even with Toronto. Given that, I certainly think they have a chance of getting there.

Cs have the 5th best record in the league despite playing the majority of the season missing somewhere between 2-4 rotation players most nights. They are only 3 games behind the Lakers, who they just so happened to beat the living dog **** out of, yet you talk about the Cs as they are some struggling team and the Lakers as world beaters, which is absolutely hysterical given how they've played against the league's top teams.

At the end of the day, neither team has a chance of winning a championship, so it's really all moot.

sounds like they were lightyears behind.

 

[B Sox]

They're not?
