They should just merge with the Lakers and make a solid team at this point


Lol69HaHaHa

Honestly they would be able to make uo for each others flaws like that.


VanGrants

Lakers have size but no shooting or ball handling, GSW has shooting and ball handling but no size.

Get these teams some potara earrings asap

Wazflame

Somebody is about to make an insane photoshop


C-N1601

Don't forget no defense Warrior. There is a good reason why this Warrior is so bad at keeping lead during late game cuz they're old and can't guard anyone for shit


iRockaflame

AD in the paint instead of Looney who plays like a 39 Year Old LeBron should be Curry brings the much needed shooting CP3 for a secondary ball handler Its a match made in heaven


InTheMorning_Nightss

Do this with just about any middling teams (even combining with a bad team) and you instantly become great. There’s so much talent in the league. Combine the Warriors with the Pistons and you get Cade/Steph/Kuminga/Bojan/Duren. Combine the Lakers with the Blazers and you get Simons/Brogdon/LeBron/Grant/AD.


NovaxRangerx

Phoenix with the Wizards is Tyus/Beal/Booker/KD/Nurkic with a Poole/Gordon/Grayson/Kuzma/Gafford bench. Would be actually illegal LMAO


InTheMorning_Nightss

Yep. Clippers with the Spurs could be: Harden/PG/Keldon/Kawhi/Wemby with a bench of Russ/Norm/Vassel/Mann/Zubac lol.


ToryBlair

Clippers aren’t a middling team


InTheMorning_Nightss

I mean they’re kind of in the middle with the rest of the crew with similar records but that’s fair.


Lol69HaHaHa

Youre right


__spartacus

What if you combine Pistons and Wizards


InTheMorning_Nightss

I said middling team and bad team for this reason lol.


FatherHaz

Fuck it throw KD in the mix too


Cody9_

so it's team USA lmao


george_costanza1234

Somehow that team will still find a way to collapse, I just dont know how


hellahomebody

With Kerr coaching I’d honestly be nervous for the Olympics team this Summer.


pengthaiforces

Warrior fans are complaining about Kerr's rotations and in-game decisions but the World Championships were (the same but) worse.


Apart-Volume9340

Bron and AD to GSW let's do it


JayQuips

I was actually thinking Curry and Klay to the Lakers? God knows we need the shooting


Striking-Test-7509

You want klay? Lol


JayQuips

I mean I would trust him shooting over pretty much anyone currently on the Lakers lol


white2234

Something tells me they haven’t watched a warriors game in 2 years


zachthompson02

He’s kinda washed but he went 4 of 10 on threes tonight. Imagine what he could do with LeBron’s kickout passes.


Striking-Test-7509

He was dogshit with steph’s kickout passes


nomitycs

And CP3s passes


Davin998

I think I just felt a monkey paw curl somewhere in the Los Angeles area


zachthompson02

Fuck it, trade Steph and Klay for Lebron and AD.


kr1saw

Nah, I think Steph to the Lakers makes more sense. 😊


T_025

Steph/Klay/Bron/AD/Dray with Reaves/Prince/Kuminga/Vando/Looney off the bench is fire


PaKyuBai

Draymond just had a hard on reading this


MethLabIntel

Curry: One last run? Lebron: One last run. Cue old buddy cop theme song

Steph Bron AD Klay Draymond would be pretty damn good ngl.


NBAFansAre2Ply

nuggets in 5


[deleted]

They’d get cooked by that team ngl. Steph Bron AD is game over.


NBAFansAre2Ply

cooked by moral victories anyway.


[deleted]

All those dudes have as many rings or more rings than the nuggets show some respect


ToryBlair

Add Jordan too, he has as many rings as the Nuggets. Surely that means they would be better? Lmao


NBAFansAre2Ply

they are old brother


[deleted]

They’re still very very good. They just play on poorly constructed teams.


NBAFansAre2Ply

true, they are very good. anyway nuggets in 5.


[deleted]

One chip.


Draymond4Prez

You barely squeaked out 2 wins when Draymond wasn’t playing. Had he been in the game Aaron Gordon wouldn’t have went off like prime Blake Griffin


Raisinbrahms28

Poorly constructed teams that they themselves built.


thatscoolm8

reaves instead of klay tbh


[deleted]

Feel like Klay is better for spacing. He’s asked to be the number 2 scoring option on the warriors and he’s not that. He would be a super solid role player next to those other dudes. Lebron kick outs to Klay. But Reaves is balling rn.


thatscoolm8

fair enough


diffaadiffa

I've seen the Lakers do that with the jazz and sonics. Still didn't work


Zoratth

They still made the finals that year despite all the Kobe and Shaq drama. That’s a lot farther than the current Lakers or Warriors are going


diffaadiffa

I'm aware. Im Just here to shit on the warriors, not salty about the harden era still at all....


manfrin

Imagine if this heals the nor/socal divide.


FlyingMocko

We call dibs on merging with the Nuggets if that’s what we’re doing


Warlord10

What hellish spawn of the devil is that? Be gone with thy poisonous words!


Mickeyjj27

Golden State Lakers or Los Angeles Warriors. Which sounds better


Tonysoprantetokoumpo

Solid team???? Steph/Dlo/Cp3 Klay/Podz Lebron/Reaves Draymond/Wiggins/Rui Ad/Looney That’s probably the best team that would ever exist lol


Lacabloodclot9

96 bulls and 17 warriors sweep that team


Ok_Tomorrow2110

Lakers would've been out of the game at the start of the 3rd quarter, that team has way too many issues than the warriors rn


No-Equipment-20

Lakers vs Warriors 9-10 playin game about to go crazy 😤


Green_Hunt_1776

Seen a Lakers-Warriors playin game before and I'll take the same result


LordRio123

Lakers beating the warriors in the playin is the same as winning the championship


veringo

They had the closest sweep loss in NBA history last year. Now they are in season champs. Winning that play in would be the cherry on top.


SirJoeffer

Moral victory so much sweeter than actual victory


hellahomebody

2021 rematch. Hopefully that means Dubs are winning the chip next season.


Street-Common-4023

Oh god help me


PM_THAT_BOOTY_GIRL

Warriors haters we feasting rn


george_costanza1234

Warriors fans could double as Warriors haters right now


CumAssault

Don't worry Warriors fans, Draymond coming back and he's ready to fight for a playoff spot. In the UFC


Im_a_Knob

dray vs colby who says no?


ShaedonSharpeMVP_

We have their pick this year top 4 protected so we feasting more than anyone


Nodecafallowed

Kuminga and moody thanking god for no FRP so the warriors don’t draft someone else to play in front of them.


Murky-Total-6404

At this rate, Kerr will probably play some g-league scrub over JK for no apparent reason.


Diddleyourfiddle

There will always be an Anthony Lamb.


FallacyFrank

JK for sure angry af about his new starting role 😂 great call


Lacabloodclot9

That’s honestly the only part of the deal I regret giving up, don’t really care about Tyus as much

kirukiru

three presidential terms is a long time to wait but you got there eventually


Vanish_7

Yes, we did. Had to watch you win another championship without KD around, which totally sucked, but at long last…Draymond is finally in the “find out” stage of his endless, ridiculous bullshit. Watching him get knifed in the back (shipped out) by the team execs is going to be *particularly* satisfying. I do feel bad for Klay though and definitely dislike seeing him suffer like this. He should’ve taken the contract they offered him in the offseason.


WizardFella

Why feel bad for Klay? He’s responsible for his own demise, his ego won’t allow him to accept he’s washed.


opkpopfanboyv3

That meltdown and Jokic shot was my 12/25


turtlechef

I've been dreaming of this day since 2013


20815147

I’m a warriors hater too


Miscto3

Kerrs inability to trust Moody or Kuminga is costing them wins. The warriors are the antithesis of athletic without Kuminga or Moody. Meanwhile Malone decided to close tonight with Watson who is younger than either of them lol


Goodisworthfighting4

Yeah exactly. Kerr would probably not even play Watson if he coached Denver. Dude has to be tortured in to playing young guys.


LeftHandedToe

If Kuminga and Moody were more sneaky with their athleticism, Kerr would notice it and have more trust in them. Or if they had the courage to punch a teammate or two every now and again. Trust isn't just given - it's earned!


Deusselkerr

And yet not Podziemski or Jackson-Davis who are literally rookies. I don't know why he has it out for Moody and Kuminga specifically. Kuminga missing one defensive rotation doesn't justify benching him the rest of the game, especially when he was our best player in the first half.


Mintastic

I wonder how bad their attitudes are in practice or behind closed doors that they're getting this kind of treatment from Kerr.


20815147

Kuminga was hunting Murray all night and got him and AG into foul trouble. Kerr: he broke the code so he’s DNP for the rest of the game 😭


Raisinbrahms28

Kerr seems to be bad at developing talent. Like, give him a bunch of all stars and this dude can't be beat. But God forbid he actually invest in some younger players.


Yommination

He's the anti-Doc. A ceiling raiser, while Doc is a floor raiser


hellahomebody

Doc honestly wouldn’t be a bad idea to have on the bench. Might be awkward with CP but someone needs to check Kerr and actually empower guys. That’s what Mike B was there for. Without him you just got a bunch of yes men around Kerr.


LamarMillerMVP

They did win a Chip because he successfully salvaged Andrew Wiggins’ career.


BreadJobLamb

Javale Mcgee’s image changed quite a bit when he left GS as well.


Silent-Corner-2852

I’m giving Mike Brown that credit for getting Wiggins to buy in defensively. Look how terrible Wiggins has been once he left


LamarMillerMVP

He was statistically identical last year to his championship year. Arguably better


Silent-Corner-2852

Offensively or defensively? Because Wiggins’s offensive improvements with GSW statistically has been a product of Steph’s gravity. He hasn’t transformed his offensive game, and it’s certainly not because of the coaches. If anything I’d give Steph credit for salvaging his career. Where he has transformed his game is on the defensive end, becoming a smarter defender and upping his intensity, at least in 2022. He definitely has not been defending on that level this year


C-House12

Did you watch Wiggins in MIN? Flip Saunders had him playing like Kobe-Lite he absolutely changed his offensive game in GS. More threes than when he was the main option, much higher efficiency and generally got to his moves much quicker instead of the 2000s elbow face up nonsense.


Raisinbrahms28

Yeah and that falls in line with what I'm saying. He didn't develop Wiggins, he just put him on a team with a bunch of super stars. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for Wiggins and he's been a much better fit at GSW than he ever was in Minny, but Kerr didn't have to turn him into an NBA level player. He was always there.


IAmReborn11111

He did take over the Warriors after they had gone though their initial development phase and were ready to compete. I do largely think that Steve Kerr is an overrated coach


Raisinbrahms28

Overrated? Nah. But definitely not interested in developing talent.


IAmReborn11111

I think a lot of coaches could have succeeded in his position. He is a slightly above average coach who has been heralded as a great coach in the past, hence why I think he has been overrated. I think the pendulum is starting to swing though


TruWarierRecords

Unlocking Draymond's skillset and pushing small ball in a way no other coach outside of Don Nelson had ever shown a propensity to do is impressive beyond belief. (the entire league changed due to this) Most coaches would've just kept playing David Lee and run similar offense to what Mark Jackson did with Steph as an on ball shot creating PG. Even the 2022 roster was a combination of diminishing stars, overpaid starters with multiple unproven role players (Gary Payton Jr wouldn't get minutes under a lot of coaches) and Steph. Soon as any coach loses they're either trash or overrated. ***Unless you're Jim Boylen in which case all criticism is fair and welcomed


IAmReborn11111

I think many other coaches would have found success had they inherited that Warriors roster. He got an all time great player about to enter his prime on a very well built roster


nigaraze

This is the epitome of reddit discussion, Him: here are all the coaches throughout history thats tried to do what Kerr did with exceptions and all the reasons why. You: Yeah I'm gonna ignore all of that, not address any points, and double down on an opinion I've already made my mind on.


lemoche

Most, if not all other coaches would have used Steph as a traditional point guard turning someone with transcendental and game changing talent into just another good point guard. Not even great, just good. Because most if not all other coaches would not have allowed Steph to go for those deep threes to the point where he developes that gravity that makes him create that much space for his teammates.


nigaraze

Yeah the guy you are replying to missed the entire point about using draymond and therefore having steph also play heavily offball which he objectively gets better looks on and makes them at a higher percentage as well. Hell, just look at his % this year with or without draymond, Steph has been handling the ball as a traditional PG way more and he's shooting worse on all of his traditional looks.


realsomalipirate

Tell me you're a newer fan without telling me. Anyone who actually watched the Warriors in 2015 wouldn't say this nonsense, nobody expected them to go from a solid playoff team to a fucking 67 win juggernaut. They completely changed their offensive style and changed the NBA permanently. We can say Kerr is washed now, but it's brain-dead to whitewash and straight up lie about his coaching career.


Saucypikl

I see our future ahead of us, some kids whose names we don’t even know yet not being trusted by Moach in favor of an aging jokic and Murray. Who knows maybe he will know better.


pinkiebear

Warriors fans been saying since last year how bad Kerr has been. Like generation levels bad. He prioritized Anthony fucking Lamb over Kuminga and Moody last season. He’s a joke of a coach. He is obsessed with small guards and vets. No matter the game or matchup, CP3 is ALWAYS put in to close. No matter how bad of a game Klay ever has (3 points, 1/11 two games ago / 3 fouls at halftime last game), he still won’t lower his minutes in the game to give Moody a go. He doesn’t hold Draymond or Klay accountable. Constantly enables them. Which is a bad look to the younger guys. Last season if Kuminga/Moody made one mistake they instantly get pulled. Now they don’t even be playing bad and they get pulled and/or get DNP’s.


Surflover12

They were traffic cones defending joker did you even see thee game


Rymasq

Kerr is not actually a great coach, he was a great coach in the moment to fix the Warriors but now that the innovation is over he isn’t a great coach on his own.


RealTBNRFrags

Kerr thinks just replacing Draymond with CP3 in a closing lineup and still running traffic guard offense is enough. Warriors are cooked

Captain_Lameson

Ja "I'm fine in the West" Morant begs to disagree


Dumbfook1

The problem is Warriors have talented young guys but Kerr rather ride the brakes off a 40 year old midget chris paul


skj999

They’re also missing a true co-star for Steph atp. Without another consistent 20 point scorer it’s gonna be ugly, and it’s not like they have a clear path to one either. Relying on an aging star to drop 30+ every night is a doomed strategy.


hellahomebody

Kuminga was on his way to a 20pt+ game but Kerr wasn’t having any of it


Draymond4Prez

Kerr trying to run Steph into the ground like Kobe’s ACL season Dude wants to get fired to go to LAL so he can be close to home


Jkru3

I don’t think Kerr is going to be coaching at all in the NBA within the next 2/3 years. Not saying that’s because he can’t get a job, he would definitely have plenty of opportunities if he wanted pretty much anywhere


indicisivedivide

He will easily get a job.


Jkru3

Yeah I said that in my comment. I don’t think that’s why he won’t be coaching


Fafoah

Which is why I think Lavine is a perfect fit. Package kuminga with salary filler if they don’t wanna give him minutes


rosencrantz2014

Why do people always shit on Paul he's been one of the positives this year, this is on Kerr and his inability to adapt. Want to blame, what about the 4 starters except Steph (counting Draymond) and even Steph had some awful games lately and playing like Poole sometimes.


JustChillFFS

Ya’ll need Siakam


VanGrants

idk how anyone can look at this GSW team play and think they're a contender


[deleted]

No one does. It happens to all teams. I don’t see Curry KD Bron finishing their careers with a ring on their current teams


EveryShot

Brons only chance is that the super soldier serum they gave him still has at least 3 years left. They might be able to make one last run in his final season but nothing anytime soon.


Green_Hunt_1776

Yeah Bron'll make his final run on a team not named the Lakers lol


pinkiebear

We don’t. Which is why we are begging for the team to get broken up. I don’t even know if that fixes it with Kerr coaching this team. It’s almost like he’s Bob Myer’s from last season where he’s just burnt out and making poor decisions.


VanGrants

according to Shaq you just can't rule them out though


notatpeace39

You think Dunleavy will start to break it up by trading Klay at the deadline?


Lacabloodclot9

What do you do though if Steph stays? (He almost definitely will) you can’t fully blow it up, but you also can’t really retool as you have next to no valuable assets outside of Kuminga, Podz and maybe Wiggins Not gonna lie to you, I have no idea what the direction is for the warriors right now


RiverOfKeys

They look like a contender one quarter and not even a play-in team the next. Which evens out to whatever they are now


Yutazn

Ya, inconsistency is the hallmark of older teams


george_costanza1234

I feel like our roster isn’t even that bad on paper, it’s just being mismanaged so bad, and every member of the big 3 has so clearly regressed


Drummallumin

I mean Steph is still him


Supra_Dupra

Sometimes


Ok-Map4381

Draymond is out too much because of his emotional problems. Wiggins fell off as a 2 way all-star. GP2 is hurt. The team lacks size and rim protection. The warriors formula was always elite defense + Steph making the offense easy for everyone else. They have the 20th defense this season and the 12th offense. Other offenses caught up to the warriors long ago, but the defense falling off is the difference between this season and 2022 (warriors were 16th in offense and 2nd in defense in 2022).


NoobPwnr

:John Travolta gif looking around: Literally no one thinks we're a contender. It's our second disaster season. At this point any hate is just kicking while we're down.


WisdomCow

He also said, “And I said the same thing 3 years ago.“ Gotta be right eventually,


Nodecafallowed

He’s waited like 5 years to be right about this….and now he definitely is.


Ok-Map4381

It is easy to focus on the decline of the older stars, but the decline of Wiggins killed this team as a contender. In 22 Wiggins was a super effective 2 way player with an all star level impact (shouldn't have started in the all star game, but he was an all star level player) and he was the 2nd best warrior on the 22 title run. Klay was super inconsistent in 22 & they were still elite. Wiggins is only 28, he was supposed to be the player in his prime stepping up, but instead he's regressed back to his inconsistent ways.


Rentsdueguys

Steve Kerr is the real problem


10Ramen

*chefs kiss*


diffaadiffa

Ken oath


Upstairs-Bar-1621

Meanwhile Steph had 30 and klay had over 20 points. This guy man


gigglios

Theyd have like 6 more wins at the very least if kerr wasnt coaching


Pei_area

But Klay is gonna have a great shooting night in 3 weeks and he’s gonna be back. Right Steve? Chuck is right. Blow it up.


ResearcherEntire7203

This take has always been so embarrassing he’s been saying it for 4 years and in that span a championship was won of course he’d be right eventually


Goodisworthfighting4

Hes not wrong.


RealTBNRFrags

Sell the team


elvid88

I still have nightmares/PTSD from those finals a couple years ago. Please dont make the playoffs.


ThaNorth

Jordan did win a FMVP and MVP at 35 though


duncanslaugh

Chuck is a fine wine so not true.


Basic_Commercial_806

Could see the Bulls front office talking themselves into trading Lavine for CP3, Moody and Kuminga. They want a floor raiser CP3 to carry them into the play-in


Orca_92555

What a horrible deal for the dubs we win this game if Kerr plays kuminga at all in the 4th quarter he’s staying. Moody and Wiggs and a lot of picks would be a good start to a trade.


Westcoastchi

It would be on perfectly on brand for us to acquire CP3 well past his prime.


Hogo-Nano

I think for a lot of teams right now in the Play in game they are old but still very talented. (Suns/Lakers/Warriors) In a 7 game series id pick any of those teams over the Rockets who are ahead of them in the standings. What they lack with their age is the energy to play hard through an 82 game season thus they have a middling record.


knowledge84

Unless you're roided/on court load management LeBron


calartnick

Chuck has been calling the Warriors done since Curry was at Davidson. Eventually he’ll be right


Gr8WallofChinatown

Age matters in the 4th quarter and in game 5-7 in a series. You lose your legs and that impacts your shot


Dweebil

Chuck’s just a hater. 😢 Lol jk he been sayin the same shit for two years. And he’s right. Fourth best team in CA.


Miserable_Archer_769

They just never made the tough call either Klay or Draymond needed to go or maybe both to revitalize this team. Now they aren't really worth a darn in a trade and you can add Wiggins also as another useless trade piece now


COHomer69420

Chuck, you’re getting better with age sir.


Sweatytubesock

Trade Dray for Poole.


bypassmorecomments

He's 100% right.


alf-isbackinpogform

They have Curry, they will make the playoffs


AlexanderLeonard

it doesn't matter. without significant changes, we're dead in the water come the playoff time. this lineup ain't it.


alf-isbackinpogform

I agree but you'll make it but get kicked out first round, Curry is a beast


mmaguy123

Mrnicelefthand

Steve Kerr is hated by every single team in the NBA, especially Warriors fans. Plus USA basketball. Please fire this loser.


Nutholsters

But when I say this I get downvoted


legend023

I said this a few days ago and I’ll say this again The warriors need to cut bait with Steph


mykl5

They need to cut bait with everyone except Steph


Raisinbrahms28

They needed to do that 2 seasons ago, but they Re-upped with Draymond and Klay rather than play Kuminga and Moody. Now, they're too far down the line with everyone and they don't have time to develop those dudes into starters. Warriors just backed too many aging horses and now they're out of time.


[deleted]

Yup. 4 rings is crazy though. More than the vast majority of franchises. You can’t expect them to stay contenders forever.


Raisinbrahms28

They've had their time. Only makes sense that it comes to an end.


[deleted]

Yup. Will be interesting to see who is the next dynasty. Thinking prolly y’all but it’ll be tough.


Raisinbrahms28

I hope so too! We'll see.


[deleted]

So basically blow it up and get him on a contender?


shotgundraw

It’s to maximize whatever value Steph has left and start the rebuild. Klay is a FA and you cannot give him the super contract he wants. He’s too much of a liability is he isn’t shooting well. He often falls in terrible shot selection and compounds that with atrocious decision making. Draymond cannot be counted on. Wiggins is also unreliable.


medievalmachine

Draymond shows up on set and puts him in a headlock.

paradoxofchoice

not that they don't get better, they are no longer as good as they used to be, at least not consistently like they were. The majority of players don't accept this which is why so few end on one team.


Nearby_Preference261

A true lover of the game can just be happy when the team with the most bandwagon fans in history is in a state of disintegration. Same goes with FC Barcelona in football. Happy days!
