So we're definitely not tanking next season?

I think I've heard that one before.

Wait, you saw me say we are not tanking in the post you quoted? Weird.

I must have been imagining the countless posts and conversations I had with people how Podz is irreplaceable in any trade package and any trade without him is a non starter. If on there was a thread where I had all these conversations. Shame it doesn’t exist…..

He’s a good, young role player on a rookie deal. Excellent for a team in GSW’s situation but not this crazy irreplaceable player for a team in a complete opposite situation.

Lmao, there's a huge difference between Podz having to be in a GSW trade package for it to be a viable package and the makebelieve BS you said a few post ago.

The only person with an outsized opinion on Podz is Joe Lacob. Dont think anyone here was talking about him being a surefire allstar besides Joe Lacob.

Nice.
Let's secure another home loss. Hopefully the same script as game 1. Fun close game that we barely lose

I’d prefer the jazz get their asses kicked. Let’s break spirits tonight.

Curry, Dray, and Melton are "questionable". I bet they'll sit. Scared of the altitude. This is not about tanking, I would say the same if we were trying to contend...but the league truly does have a problem with players sitting out/not caring about the regular season. Player's health should always be a priority, but the solution is not to have a half assed regular season. The NBA and players need to come together and find a solution that does not include greatly diminishing their product.

I guess contusions are only serious when Lauri gets them. Lmao

 

[Thee Jazz Fan]

That did not happen.

It kinda did. I was confused by the whole thing.

He’s got role player written all over him. Shocked people wanted him over Kuminga.

If it was Moody and Kuminga instead of Podz all of sudden it’s garbage and not even worth talking about. No deal with Podz involved was ever going to get done, he is worth so much more to them to us. Like I said in the other post, didn’t make sense that the former two were considered nothing and Podz the holy grail.

Now, there were some who thought we deserved all three and also every single pick possible. And to those people, I would just say that was never going to happen.

The argument is that Podz is a winning player who helps you win games and can fit in with any team we are building. He can shoot and play defense. Kuminga might not be a winning player, and would be a more difficult fit on potential future teams.

I know its in your name, but your tunnel vision for "the next pick" disables you from seeing the 10 or so young players we are already developing.

Or is breaking spirits part of your optimal development path? Will you be the one who flips the magical switch next year that turns them back to good players?

Goddamn NBA2K for ruining the elderly.

I don’t mind thinking Podz > Kuminga. I thought Podz being soooo much more highly valued than Kuminga and Moody was odd. This is especially the case considering the direction and financial situation that we would be going in a post Lauri world. I can understand the extreme importance for a team in the Warriors situation to have that production on a rookie scale deal.

TBF, it may just be the case of really hating JK and MM….but I actually agree 100% with your assessment on Podz. I just don’t agree with that being an irreplaceable trade asset whereas the former two are not worth anything. A simple preference for one or the other isn’t crazy, but I don’t see the extreme gap that was presented in that trade thread.
