Late night drop?? Ya love to see it.

I'm with you on Wiggins man. I want to see how he operates with the splash brothers AND Draymond (stop trying to trade him). I don't think you get peak Wiggins without Draymond there to motivate him.

1) the biggest knock against Wiggins is that people expect too much. What, 20 and D is not good enough? We all remember praying HB would make open shots .. Shots he got while everyone was swamping Klay and Steph. Wiggins puts up 20 as the #1 scoring option. I agree- why trade him, youll just be looking to get those points back. 2) The Finns beat the Russians during the Winter War. He tough. I like Markannen. 3) Instead of sending Wiggins and the pick out for Holiday, who is a ball handler, defender, etc, draft LaMelo and keep Wiggins. La Melos ceiling is WAY higher and he may even be a better impact very quickly. And you keep Wiggins. 4) You didnt comment on Wiggins and the 2 and the 2021 Wolves pick for The Slim Sleeper. Maybe bc its a trade machine fabrication. Maybe bc Ingram gets maxed? But- if all of a sudden Ingram tells NO hes out, this trade is not bad for them at all.

lmao " I wanna get the stephs'...but I can't do that shit" LMAO always gives me a good laugh Alch. Glad your high on Wiggins as well as I am. He will show out and be a great player for us. NOTHING good happens in Minnesota and Karl would rather make youtube videos.

Bro the amount of people on Youtube that called me dumb for saying that getting a good 2, and having Klay play the 3.... Yeesh the mans 6'7 and guards guys like lebron lol. I'm with yea, keep wigs until at least the deadline.

I'm with you on a lot of those trades, I understand wigs has a big contract but I take that out of the equation, I don't think our front office is looking for how to get out of paying, positionally I don't see any 3s that are available that other teams have any interest in trading that id take over wig right now

i wouldn’t trade klay for booker and the 10th pick or whatever they got hell nahh

Def sipping on that wiggins juice...wanna see how he turns out.

I'm here for the late night takes 100%.

I think Wiggins would be good for us. The reason why I didn't like KD with us was because he became the number one option, and it affected curry. I can see Curry going off with Wiggins cause he will undoubtedly be the number one option. We won't see him hesitate anymore like he did when KD was on the floor. I really don't think we need big trades in order to be successful.

Major Powers

I think as the Bucks you leak that Giannis is going to sign the supermax to scare other teams to overpay in a trade otherwise they lose out.

athleticalchemy

The general youtube basketball comments can be down right astonishing. I try to skim through to get back to real supporters or takes.. but sometimes I don’t make thru

athleticalchemy

True true.. it seems like a good personality fit.. I bet Klay gasses him up without even trying. How can you play alongside him and not go a little harder.

athleticalchemy

Seriously! Every year I’m like “ these gonna be the ones!” Last years were coo. My daughter has them and she didn’t want me rocking m too 😀

athleticalchemy

Didn’t here that one! I tell you what tho.. go back to those breakdowns of their play in bubble games. Dudes defense of effort was disturbing! We’re talking Swaggy P coasting in essentially elimination games. IDK

Major Powers

I'm still high on Wiggs 720 dunk brick. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=544amYofRYc

athleticalchemy

😆 you would have that in your playlist! We’re gonna get some POSTERS with the floor spread like trumps....

15:55 "That's kind of my job. I sit around and think of ways to trade Draymond Green ;) " Lol, you're gonna miss day-dream trading Draymond one of these days. Yeah his 3pt shooting is pissing us off and he's gotta work out more...but I don't think his ego-checking, shit-talking has an expiration date. Jordan and Kobe had that killer drive that pushed their teammates to their peak performance. I don't think Steph and Klay can necessarily motivate the rest of the team to reach that level the same way Draymond (and Andre) could.

athleticalchemy

You right! But when you have the greatest backcourt of all time....he is always the odd man out

Paul Hanson

Call me a bit conservative (NOT politically mind you!) but-I'd really like to see Steph, Klay, Dray and Wiggins play together. Damn-it's been too long since the big 3 have been on the court at the same time-June 2019. Even without a draft pick-there are these 4s and 5s out there in free agency. How about Aaron Baynes making it up to Steph by joining his team and falling on some opponent's hand for a change? Or even Favors, Tristan Thompson or any one of those free agent bigs? Even without a draft pick-that's not bad. The play off strength of Steph, Klay, Dray is that ball movement, spacing, making the other team defend all the way to half court. No one has really done it better than they have-when Draymond is healthy and wants to. Most of the problem was Draymond didn't want to last year. But his intelligence and heart when he's engaged is a huge part of what makes the Dubs the Dubs. A big in free agency and this core 4 would be really interesting and a good team-add the right draft pick and you got something. Wiseman's last game as a freshman wasn't all that impressive-damn he's so young. I'd still love it if he came here but I'd also go for someone else if the Dubs got a Zaza-type or someone old and big who knows what their role is and can fit in with the Core 4.

Paul Hanson

and another thing-WHY are all Stephen Curry's shoes SO LAME?? It's really rather incredible. Really, really always awful since about 2016.

athleticalchemy

I like Tristan as a player, great motor and can get out in PnR a bit. Wonder if he and Draymond really squashed their beef. Baynes would be amazing!... if he could play more than 50 gm a year. But at the right price he’d be worth a risk.

Always something warriors related seems to drop everytime you make a new video. Today was the luxury tax cuts thats big for us. Something like that lol

Paul Hanson

Last question hopefully: it might just be too late in this guys career given everything that's happened to him but: where is DeMarcus Cousins at these days? Is he still rehabbing? He certainly was a great addition when he was healthy.

athleticalchemy

I saw a workout snippet of him, looked lean! You want to believe in him, but that whole side of his lower body has gone out on him ...Achilles, quad, acl 😬

Paul Hanson

I wonder if all the time off has helped him get his core together. I guess Bob Meyers would know.

I thought it was just a one timer, but I it heard it again on the Lowe Post today Wiggins + The Pick to Detroit for Blake Griffin Pure Madness

Anonymous

Alch you are right. Keeping Wiggins is the right move now. I do like swapping the pick with Phoenix and getting Ubre and Toppin . But wouldn't Phoenix want more back from the Dubs than just the #2 pick?

Anonymous

Alcs had Mr. Off-season 3 in the trade machine for about 2 years now 🤣

Anonymous

Is there a Mock Draft 2.0 coming Alc?

Anonymous

Come on Alch lets get the Deni train going this kid is a warrior thru and thru he will be lead ball handler off the bench and be either 4 or 3 in death line up him and wiggs can be interchangeable we will be very versatile. Also i got the curry 2s and 3s after that I cant rock with them idk what happen bruh lol

I don't know about trading for Jrue but you never know! I'd like to just add to our frontcourt depth. Ibaka would be the ideal dude

Anonymous

Since the sun's seem interested in Killian Hayes and the Hawks want Edwards what about this deal. GSW: #10, Oubre, Huerter PHX: #6, Poole ATL: #2,Ty Jerome

Ezra Abbey

I don't wanna see Draymond go but he'd be tough on the Mavs. That would be a very scary team IMO. I was wondering if you could post an alternate YT link on all videos (if it's too much work then don't) but it would be nice, the vimeo video player gives me issues for some reason.

Anonymous

I think the draymond trade makes sense for the mavs. Think if draymond were to get traded it would re ignite that fire in him that’d work in the mavs favor for sure

Anonymous

I think Jrue is probably better than Wiggins, but Wiggins just feels like a better positional fit for us. Plus Wiggins value will really only go up with us, so why trade him while he's low

a night w dante pettis lmfao. great stuff Alch. you are spot on about the 9ers training staff, theres no way these dudes should be dropping like this. Jimmy def looking like a ps2 with all these new arms and mobile qbs out. looking forward to see how the draft for dubs and niners play out.
