[Music] hi guys let's get more news about Warriors but first don't forget to subscribe and leave your like Steve Kerr oners later adles Steve CER is class personified as the head coach of the Golden State Warriors the nine-time NBA champion is also a reputable Ambassador for the league as such care honor the latel adles also known as the Jersey jettin K's opinion the deceased NBA legend will always Mr Warrior K shared a heartfelt message thanking the deceased NBA legend for his contributions to the game and the Warriors franchise adles played in the NBA for 11 Seasons all with the Warriors for their Philadelphia and San Francisco stint although adles wasn't a star he made a name for himself as a loyal Warriors player and a figure in the franchise until his last day on Earth K shared kind words for the late adles and expressed his condolences to Mr Warriors and his family golden states head coach ker called adles the figurehead of the Warriors he remained an employee of the franchise for over 60 years urin G his time with the Warriors adles played coached and served as general manager as well as in roles such as team Ambassador andom community relations representative he lived to help the warriors on and off the court allthough adles wasn't a star he ranked eighth and triple doubles for the 1,968 69 Seasons more impressively the war Warriors retired his number in 1977 Paul Pierce thinks there is only one move the Warriors can make to become title contenders Paul Pierce doesn't consider the Golden State Warriors a serious title Contender anymore and thinks that can only change if they make one big move on the ticket and the truth podcast Pierce and Kevin Garnet were discussing Steven Curry's future when the former stated the Warriors have to trade for janison Mo to get back near the top they don't have a championship team pi said the only way I see Golden State getting back to where they need to get back to is if they could find a way to get jenness over the garet wonder if Pierce had some sort of inside eye information about a move being in the works but he made it clear he did not putting anet aano alongside Curry would certainly make the Warriors a serious title Contender gianis averaged 30.4 points 11.5 rebounds 6.5 assists 1.2 Steals and 1.1 blocks per game for the Milwaukee Bucks last season he made the all NBA first team and finished fourth in voting for MVP and Curry who average 26.4 points 4.5 rebounds 5.1 assists 0.7 Steals and 0.4 blocks per game last season would easily be the best duo in the NBA the problem though is that I don't think the Warriors will be able to put together a good enough package to land on TMO if he ever asks for a trade the etime allstar is under contract through the 2027 to 28 season for for which he has a player option so he won't be available for pennies on the dollar the only valuable trade assets the Warriors have apart from Curry are Jonathan cing and Brandon podski I don't think any package that revolves around those two youngsters and draft picks would be in off to land on TMO or any other top star in the league it's why I think the Warriors somewhat stuck in NBA Purgatory now they are never going to be bad enough to get a top draft pick with K on the roster but at the same time aren't good enough to compete for titles last season was a great example of that as the Warriors finished with a 4636 record and missed the playoffs after being beaten by the Sacramento Kings in the playing tournament they need to get in another star to push them back near the top but don't have the means to get one it would appear that those on the outside aren't the only ones who think that Golden State doesn't have what it takes to contend according to NBA Insider Anthony slate to the Warriors front offices aware they don't have a championship level roster the key Warrior stakeholders grasp Curry's sustained greatness and team sources said there is an internal understanding that his current Supporting Cast can't be considered a finished product if the 2025 NBA champion ship is B proved to be a reachable goal their Warriors have brought in the likes of Buddy heeled to Anthony Melton and Kyle Anderson this off season and while they are good additions none of the three really move the needle you wonder how much longer Curry sticks around if the team is nowhere near title contention Pierce thinks he will stay regardless but I think there is a chance he will leave Celtic's Legend urges Warriors to trade for Gian Nano the Warriors will be relying on Steph Curry more than ever this season and Paul Pierce says the team needs to go after yanan Mo to get him some help with without clay Thompson Steph will be their warriors's only clear-cut offensive scoring option in 2024 to 25 the team tried to make a big splash multiple times over the summer by going after Paul George and Lori marinan and Pierce says if the team wants to return to Greatness anytime soon signing gianis is the only option the only way I see Golden State getting back to where they need to get back to is if they can find a way to get gianis over the Pierce said the ticket and podcast recently naturally Pierce was asked if he had any insight or knowledge that Golden State were planning to move in on the Greek Freak but he said no I'm just putting on my GM hat and trying to say that's the best case scenario this isn't the first time yanis to their Warriors has been mentioned in February of this year the athletic reported that the Warriors consider signing gianis to be their dream scenario so the franchise have clearly entertained or at least thought about the idea GI Anis is in the final year of his current $228 million contract and has a three-year $175.3 million Max contract extension waiting to activate next year the Bucks also got Gian some help in Damon Lillard so the chances of him leaving Milwaukee in the foreseeable future look slim but it is the NBA so anything can happen the Lakers are under the microscope for their lack of trade action during the offseason and one NBA Insider has revealed the biggest mistake that was made that was the team committing to a 4-year 32 million due free agent deal with Max Christie which includes a 4-year player option the Athletics John holler explains why the deal was an issue the problem was that they actually tried him quite a bit 944 minutes across 67 games and be he wasn't any good 8.4 PR minus 3.6 BPM such that c he couldn't crack the full strength rotation of what was arguably the worst bench in the league holler says the move also had a massive flow on effect for the team holler explains what made this move particularly notable was that it took the Lakers out of other scenarios in free agency Holland wres any team with LeBron James and Anthony Davis needs to be all in on right now and the Lakers seemingly passed up a few other opportunities to go in that direction Christy was another opportunity cost because the $7.1 million cap number for Christie essentially took the Lakers out of using their taxpayer mid-level exception while still staying below the second apron IDs the Cavs and Celtics the Lakers franchise was the only team that didn't make any offseason trade moves looking to the Future the ringer Kevin okona dropped a bombshell over the weekend claiming that the LA's long-term plan involves begging Dallas Superstar Luca donic which might explain the team's lack of Trades over the summer I've reported on this podcast and on the ringer how the Lakers have their sights set for Luca we'll see if that works out he said on the mismatch Dallas just made a finals Dallas is looking better than ever with their Supporting Cast that may not work out but the Lakers by not trading their future picks clearly are still thinking thinking long term at this point they're not going all and like you might expect many teams to do with James and you fan what do you think of the situation of yanan Mo
