Official Warrior Watch: Draft Pick and Playoff Positioning

[Cyrone Torbin]

6 losses in a row. They have a cupcake game against the Suns tomorrow, but it is the 2nd game of a back-to-back. Suns are playing tonight too and currently putting the hurting on the Blazers.

I predict a Suns upset win.

But that also means it's the 2nd of a back-to-back for Phoenix.

Thanks for the update Cy.

I think the Tankers are struggling. As Harper commented on it today. They've been winning with a run & gun, free flowing style. Trying to integrate Bogut into this style would be difficult. They can't just sit him neither. So it's a difficult situation for them.

Not complaining though.

Tomorrow's game is also a home game for GS. I think they snap the losing streak, but you never know.

I'm aware. The Suns have Scola and Gortat, so they could give the Warriors problems inside.

Posted this in the trade deadline forum but thought it might be relevant here too:

Hornets G Eric Gordon likely to sit out WEDS at Cavs. Hornets having trade talks with Warriors centered on Gordon, reports Times-Picayune.

I wonder who GSW are giving up? If this deal goes through, I don't like our chance with a decent pick.... I'm guessing it's for either Barnes for Thompson.

Looks like Thompson.

Warriors are dumb if they do this. Thompson's younger, way cheaper, hasn't showed any injury history, and is well-rounded. Unless they get a 1st out of this, there's no way the W's should do it imo.

How about Thompson + Bogut though? Bogut not really fitting into what they're trying to do which is run & gun.

Don't take this the wrong way. Were you almost aborted?

I guarantee the Warriors fall hard if they trade Thompson for Gordon.

Yep.

The only positive for the Warriors would be if they got Robin Lopez out of the deal. He would be a nice big man for them, and would be an upgrade over Bogut's current state.

Tada!

I can kinda see why they would rather get rid of Thompson over Barnes. Thompson and Curry have similar playing styles, and so they don't have anyone that can drive and get to the hoop.
