Career high in blocks and 3pt % (of course the shooting improves!). However, career lows in free throw rate, steal rate, and net On/Off rating.

Bottom line....still kind of a "meh" player. I think if they were at full strength with Klay he could just kind of blend in more and be just fine, similar to the way Harrison Barnes was just a solid filler on that original Golden State championship team.

The guy that is really disappointing is Kelly Oubre. I was never a fan.


I bet he Loves having Draymond be on his ass everygame. I have Steph and Draymon on my fantasy so I watch a lot of late night Warriors basketball. Hes constiently screaming at him.


Ya a GS Warriors writer did an article on how the trade was an all time heist for the warriors and people ripped it to shreds yesterday. Wiggins is below or around the same in every statistical category besides 3pt % as he was with the wolves



It's all about that pick next year (or the following year). That will dictate who won the trade in the realm of popular opinion.

Story on @TheAthletic with @sam_amick: https://t.co/tTYIRVG8Xg




Keeping Harden away from the team until it happens.

I saw clips of the press conference with Harden... followed by comments from John Wall. I didn't think it was possible... but compared to Harden... Wall came across as a really good humble guy and dedicated pro athlete.

I'm thinking about two guys right now.

Joe Harris might shoot 60% on wide open threes this season. And might never get to dribble a basketball again.

Steve Nash. Good luck.




[Bonus: The Cavs now have Kevin Love, Andre Drummond and Jarrett Allen. Andre, Kevin and Larry Nance better be ready to pack their things.]

Report: Kyrie Irving has reportedly been "furious" at the Nets for not giving him "more input" on their head coach hiring and was "not in favor" of Steve Nash

His relationship with Kevin Durant recently has also been described as "very distant."

(via @ThomasCDee)
