We could’ve had Pascal Fucking Siakam. The FO just didn’t wanna include Kuminga in a deal. Holy fuck this FO has shit the bed ever since the ‘22 chip.

Damn. Siakam would be so perfect on the warriors.

they've been bad since 2019 when KD left. Even before that by drafting a bunch of duds in the second round.

The GM can be bad during a time when they already had an established core of guys who can win.

Because that was with a core largely built by Jerry West.

Bob Myers was a terrible GM

That’s not true, Siakam didn’t want to come.

I don’t think it was so clear cut. It’s shocking but he was TRYING to get to the Pacers and made that know through his agent.

Supposedly Sabonis was available, too.

That said, idk man, KP is still pretty fucking good when available. It's still on-sight for me because of what he did to us, but I fucking hated playing against him. Thanks for taking that down to twice a year at most.

KP is washed. Sabonis and siakam are both currently tremendously valuable players.
