And the big thing that I heard in the past day was that the Warriors are prepared to trade Draymond at the deadline should things go south.
And the thing I hear a lot about is Draymond's not going to bring you back any value.
I mean, we look at what happened last year and where you're trading guys like, or what the Wizards did, you're trading CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert in exchange for Trey Young and then trading essentially what was Chris Middleton's expiring contract for Anthony Davis.
Now, for Anthony Davis, I understand that's still a high-risk, high-reward thing, but that's still a Hall of Fame player.
Trey Young still is a young, great point guard that will help the Wizards in the future.
And just to offload C.J. McCollum and Chris Middleton's expiring contract and Corey Kispert in exchange for that is impressive.
So I look at it as, you know what? At the deadline, there are going to be teams looking for a solid role player like Draymond who may be willing to give up a little more.
to get that expiring contract, knowing it will help clear the books in the offseason.
Maybe the Warriors use that to get a young player or two, or maybe some more draft picks to add to their stock.
Now, the Warriors don't have a lot of second-round picks or additional first-round picks aside from their own, so that may be a win.
And by going south, I think it means that they're heading straight to the lottery.
And maybe it turns into a package deal where Jimmy and him get shipped off somewhere else in exchange for a number of players and draft picks for a team.
Say Jimmy comes back and he's come back strong or a team that's looking to just completely clear the books and they're willing to, uh, incentivize other teams to help them out.
And if they're, if the warriors are bringing back, um, say, an additional year on their books in exchange for some good draft picks, I could take that win.
I like that whole idea because it really does help the Warriors both in the short and long term.
Yes, they're trying to win and be competitive with Steph right now, and that requires good players on a bit longer contracts and additional young players to help him ease the burden off of...
I guess his running load because, you know what, he can't be just piling up 38 to 39 minutes.
The team has to get younger and more athletic if they want to compete with the modern NBA, and they still have to find their true center of the future if they intend on going up against guys like Victor Weminyama, Joker, Rudy Gobert, who they're playing in a four-out-one-inch scenario over Minnesota.
They have to find ways to compete with those teams, and that requires a good big man.
