I honestly don't know in the Ky vs. Lee thing...Lee is clearly a better scorer and is emerging as a rebounder with some defensive intensity, but Ky has energy, grit--all the intangibles.
Let's keep both and ditch Poole or something. Seriously. Trade Burks. He's probably gone after this year anyway, unless some of the other journeymen journey on and we waste the MLE on Burks rather than, say, splitting it between Ky and Lee...? (Assuming we can do that.)

I love what Lee is doing this year but if it's a choice between him and Bowman, I'm on Team Bowman.
Bowman is much younger, more athletic, plays better defense, and has more competitive fire than just about anyone not named Green. Plus, I think that what Lee is doing now isn't necessary when Klay and Steph return. We'll always need what Bowman provides, especially in the playoffs.
Of all of our young crew, I'm highest on Bowman and Chriss for the future.

Me too man,
I’ve been daydreaming about lineups with a top 5 draft pick or trades utilizing that asset. I’m just worried that with DLO playing so well that we might not find ourself in the bottom 3.
But I don’t think it matters now, I think the Mavs game was the decider. If they won that game they would’ve had a choice to make. Now the choice has solidified. Find a way to fully tank and trading Burks soon may be there first action in that direction.

Goddamn it's like seeing triplets with WCS, Lee, and DLo. Can't tell them apart half the times

they wont have 8 to start next season. Chriss and Spellmen are part of the future.

I think it will be Burks for a second, I dont think they could get off JE if they wanted to.
Athletic Alchemy

he could legit swing things for a contender...its always those type of moves the end up paying off big in the playoffs.
Athletic Alchemy
2019-12-29 16:41:38 +0000 UTC
Fair question...and a subjective one. I still lean towards the pick.

How often are you watching Book? We can revisit this in a few seasons. Right now yes Dame, but Book is 23 and he has already figured out what Dame still hasnt...
Athletic Alchemy

Booker over Dame is straight blasphemy Alc, i'd rather have DLO over Booker

Is it possible these Golden State Nets are too good to properly tank? I mean, JP basically got swapped with Ice in his vines DLO and as much as I want that top 5 pick,,,this so called loaded West is looking a lot more depleted than advertised. Wouldn’t the 8th seed and just an opportunity to knockout any of these contenders worth giving up that asset to see the growth of all these young Warriors?

For real, whenever we fighting for a dub I love it. Lee and Bowman both deserve a spot. Honestly considering our Superstar injuries I love our roster. Burks will be probably be the trade that happens, but man he would've been great for us in previous years.

He has bounce for sure and you're right explosive.

I've got a strange feeling they're going to move off of Anta boys - Loon and Evans to feel those two roster spots for Bowman and Lee. I'm really shocked at the turnaround of WCS. My only concern is if he'll regress when Draymond's not on the court motivating him.
Jason Williams

Just imagine if we somehow get a run going and take the 8th seed for a 1st round match up with the lakers with Steph and maybe even Klay back...
Kurtis Forge

Does it make sense to keep 8 guards on the roster? What does the rotation even look like split between Steph Klay dlo lee ky burks Evans poole? We could legit run out several viable 4-guard lineups (though most splash bro lineups are de facto viable).
I don’t really wanna see any of those dudes go though. If we lean into position-less basketball and just put out our 5 best guys, who goes?

still worried about your point regarding home advantage. Once we get the splash bros back and become a contender again, it will be interesting to see what class demographics make up the crowd given the price increase for tickets.

Athletic Alchemy

Right I feel like most fans feel that way. I think the move is Burks for a 2nd rd pick. And or WCS.

2019-12-28 21:10:56 +0000 UTC
I got you! This tank may get upended but F it!

From this point forward it's SKy Bowman.

Lee has been amazing but I really don't want them to let go of Ky, he's been balling out and brings so much energy and dog to our team. He seems like he'd fit great in the 3rd guard role once Steph comes back, I dunno... Hopefully the front office can pull some magic and keep them both.
Ezra Abbey

This is what we expected initially! Personally I think I underestimated the loss of Steph and how that disappointment effected him. Got to give Dray and the staff some credit.
Athletic Alchemy
2019-12-28 20:22:35 +0000 UTC
Oh man, with Lee and WCS starting to add to the great play of the rest of the young guys and Smiley getting thrown into the mix we're starting to feel like a real basketball team.
Really enjoying these breakdowns Alch since I haven't been able to watch many of the games live. It's keeping me in tune with all these young guys and pumped for next season.

I’ve been so impressed by limp willie... I was all the way done with that dude and then outta nowhere he’s playing great d, not getting abused on switches and somehow getting a ton of steals. Maybe dray put his 215 card through a shredder
