Now that the trade deadline is in view, I think it’s best to explain our Lauri Markannen/Zach LaVine scenario by detailing how we got here. But first, yeah, I get it. As you’ll read below, getting both Markannen and LaVine without having to give up Jonathan Kuminga? That’s far-fetched. And Danny Ainge reportedly wants picks. The Warriors don’t seem to have picks. Stick with me, … [Read more...] about How Markannen and LaVine can end up with the Warriors, or “an ode to Ainge”
Klay 3PP in losses: 26.1%, Curry: “we’re way better” with Draymond

And it’s not like he’s been taking all that bad shots lately.

Kuminga played the best on Xmas + Podziemski: Warriors only looking for 3s or forcing shots late
I’ma start off by cutting the old guys some slack. Even though Jonathan Kuminga and Brandin Podziemski played the best on Xmas, keep in mind the 11:30AM tipoff and the altitude of Denver.I used to get to the arena three hours before every tipoff. Why? Because that’s when the first bus arrives, maybe even before that, and that’s when the young guys take the floor for pregame … [Read more...] about Kuminga played the best on Xmas + Podziemski: Warriors only looking for 3s or forcing shots late
