I legitimately can’t believe the Warriors gave Poole that contract. He’s absolute garbage. Probably the worst contract in the league

sucks for them!!!!!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D

AD is playing great D but GSW's rim attack is pathetic. Nobody can attack the basket. Steph is tiny and has little lift. Poole is tiny. Klay is a broken down old man. Draymond is an anemic scorer who can barely jump. Looney can barely score.

Wiggins is the only guy who athleticism but he is passive. DiVicenzo is the next best but he is only 6-4 and gets intimidated by the mere sight of AD.

I'd love to see someone who would actually take the ball to the rim hard. I'd love to see Kuminga. I've wanted to see him all series but he hasn't gotten a chance. I reckon this is a good matchup for him. A big physical wing with athleticism. Someone who can offer something different than the rest of GSW's offensive weapons. They need some diversity. LAL knows it only has to defend the three point line and their shooters. GSW has little else to offer.

Yeah I'm still scratching my head wondering why Kerr doesn't use Kuminga in this series.

Tough to find a good fit for Ayton. I think it would have to be a bad, young team or a desperate team to take a chance on him at that $. The two best fits I can see are the Piston (bad, young) and Hawks (desperate).

For the Hawks, I think the Capela/Collins package that was mentioned makes some sense.

For the Pistons, you're probably looking at something like Bagley, Wiseman, and Burks?
I'd take him here.  Not sure I'd do this, but I'd think about it.

Ayton for Smart, Gallo, PP

I think that would balance the team more and we'd get younger in the main rotation.

Top 8 would be White, Brogdon, Brown, Tatum, Grant, Al, Rob, Ayton.  I think that fits a bit better as a top 8.

Smart would be pretty solid in the Paul role for Phoenix so it makes sense on their end as well.

That Celtics team is nice. And big! Real big.

G: D White, Brogdon
G: Jaylen, Hauser
F: Tatum, G Will / Hauser
F: Horford, G Will
C: Ayton & Rob Williams

Two giant PGs at 6-4 / 6-5. Jaylen and Hauser as big SGs. A big physical forward rotation with Tatum, G Will & Horford. Two big interior players in Ayton and Rob Williams.

That team would be very difficult to play against.

I'd do that trade.

That is a tempting trade that I’d probably support if we fall short this year and Smart’s hero ball plays a role.

Lakers winning this game due to FT advantage. Must be nice.

25-14 fouls thus far.

Welp. 22 point lead with 8 minutes left. Looking like the Warriors dynasty is officially over. Can't see them running it back and giving Green a big contract after this.
