Wembanyama is in a class by himself. He would be even more ridiculous if he lay off the 3's. Sorry Chet, you're really good and all, congrats on second fiddle this year. And Trae Young needs a new hair stylist, like bad.

If the season ended today Chet has to be ROY.

With Wemby, it's been highlight, after highlight, after highlight, after highlight, after highlight ... after highlight. Have you watched this guy ? I haven't seen so many Wow! moments in a long time, maybe ever.

Yep, I've watched plenty of both. He more than likely (assuming both remain heathy) is the better player, but there is nothing to suggest he should be ROY over Chet this year based on both players numbers. Highlights are great but Chet has been the better player.

for second year players maybe.

JustinVerlander07 · 01-15-2024, 06:36 PM

Draymond looking quite sharp so far against the JV Grizzlies.

oldgoldy97 · 01-15-2024, 08:17 PM

Chet is helping win games on a stacked team. Think if he had free reign and no pressure to win?

rhigh2390 · 01-15-2024, 08:39 PM

Warriors getting pretty close to rock bottom. Do they try to do anything with the tail end of Curry's career or does Curry just ask out at this point? I don't see Curry doing that as he seems like a Warrior for life, but the rest of this team is dreadful.

I think the problem is who is the player that gets them back to a championship level to go out and get?

Slembanians off that Absinthe buzz early.

Relying on highlight comps is how normies got duped into thinking he was a good shooter back in June.

ninjacookies · 01-15-2024, 08:50 PM

8 mile now with 2 dubs in their last 10.

Lions in the 2nd round.

Marshall really planted the seed.

drobfan8 · 01-15-2024, 08:51 PM

ROY chase is certainly hotting up.

I mean, swap Wemby with Chet and doesn't Wemby get better looks also?

Wemby is playing with non point guards until just the other week when Pop realised they have enough losses now so he can start Tre. Of course now Wemby is having better games now that Sochan and Keldon aren't running the point.

In saying that, Chet's efficiency has been off the charts.

Gonna be a fun race. It'd make it easier if everyone just says who they've bet on! Ah ah. Then we'll know why they're actually making arguments.

I phrased it wrong... I should have said do the Warriors give up on the core to at least make an attempt to salvage the end of Curry's career? I don't know what fixes their problems, but they are absolute toast as currently constructed and I'd be shocked if Curry is fine with wasting his last few good years. I don't even see them making the play-in as constructed.

Their biggest problem in hindsight is that Wiggins went from being REALLY good in that title run to for whatever reason being worse than he was in Minnesota. Had he stayed where he was in 2022 then it'd be more reasonable to trade for a Siakam or whoever else becomes available. Because if this franchise wants to win they won't be re-signing Klay unless it's on their terms.

He had some personal stuff going on, didn't he? Maybe that's affecting him more than anyone knows.

I recall rumors, but it was just that. He's a total shell of himself at this point.

Kuminga may actually be the most consistent player on the Warriors right now.

Steph had five TO's today, including on play where he simply dribbled the ball off his foot and out of bounds.

Klay needs to retire. He was a team-worst -22 today, and contributed nothing.

Their only hope is to play Steph/Dray with the four kids (i.e. Kuminga, Jackson-Davis, Pods, and Moody).

Because as long as Klay is playing 25-30 minutes a game, the Warriors are going to lose.

It is sad to see Klay go down like this. I loved watching him in his prime. I agree on Kuminga. I don't know how he doesn't get more PT. I's definitely hold onto him. I just watched him live in Chicago and he looked really good.

GOATcards · 01-15-2024, 10:23 PM

anyone shedding any tears for GSW fans after snatching two chips with KD?

I hope Dunleavy gets desperate, give us a solid and sends Kuminga for LaVine.

No. I’m quite enjoying it.

Warriors whiffed hard on Wiseman when they should’ve taken the best player there (at the time) in Lamelo, or packaged the pick for a B+ player.
