00:00Well, what if I told you and the masses that and I say and I stated this and I stand by it as much as I'm

00:07Excited about that time when it comes and it reveals itself the deadline when you come back from Hawaii

00:14And you take on this task, which is the 2024 2025 NBA season and you have a cloud Stani

00:22Over your heads about it's us against the world. Shout out Tupac

00:27But it's really not Stani if everybody knows to a man. Well, we know Draymond's gonna be here

00:33We know Curry's gonna be here

00:34But if I know that there could be a break in regard to Wiggins coming, I don't know how strong

00:41I guess I'm looking for the word that bond can be knowing that there's a major

00:47Implicit there could be major change. So how can you really truly be whole knowing?

00:53Come trade deadline one of us may be out of here

00:58Still win that way. I hear you

01:00I I think a lot of teams go into a season like that

01:04Thinking there they may have to try to upgrade their roster during the season. I I don't think they're

01:10Looking to get well, I don't know. I don't know what they're looking to move or looking not to move but

01:16This from the four one five on the Comcast

01:20Business text line

01:22Steiny why'd the Warriors say coming was absolutely off the table for trades if they don't want to pay him

01:28We don't know that I didn't say they didn't want to pay him

01:31I'm saying they don't have to pay in between now and October 21st

01:35they don't have to and if they don't it means next year, he'll be a restricted free agent and

01:41the Warriors will still have his rights, but I

01:46Just yeah

01:47And I kind of brought up Luciano in a tongue-in-cheek way to you before the show saying

01:52Well, we were you know, we're all talking about Luciano doesn't have a position. How did they not know that? Okay

01:58Well, neither does Jonathan Kaminga and he's entering his fourth season, but listen to this real quick Steiny

02:03Yeah, and we're going to play the Kaminga sound and I'm not even mad at Kaminga

02:08But when he talks about what him and what's on the horizon and what he thinks he can do we can't do

02:16There were not a lot of can'ts

02:19He feels like he can do it all we can't and that's what knows that deep down

02:24Okay, deep down to his microphone game yesterday was kind of like you could put me anywhere and I'll be fine

02:30And I'm like no JK. Listen to what your teammates and your coaches are saying. It's kind of been that way

02:37but you know the

02:39I don't know if he knows it's as urgent as he thinks it that the team thinks it is about him finding a position

02:47He's saying you can put me anywhere and I'll be fine

02:53It's not that anymore

02:55Well, I I think just listen

02:58I mean what it sounds to me like is the Warriors fundamental dilemma is that

03:03Kaminga is not good enough and not versatile enough to be a small forward on offense

03:08But Draymond Green saying you can't just stick him at four

03:12Because defensively there's a skill set that's needed at that position that that right now coming it doesn't have and

03:21So, you know, I'm just looking at first of all, just throw it out eight eight eight nine five seven nine five seven zero

03:27You know, this is one of those things where you could look at it as you know

03:31This is a good problem to have you got two guys who are one guy's a veteran Wiggins one guy's a young and up-and-comer

03:37Like Kaminga, it's like okay. That's what that's what big boy franchises have to do

03:41They got to figure out which one's stays and which one goes but I don't I do think the long-term

03:47Well, I do think one of the goals of the Warriors is to move either Wiggins or Kaminga

03:53Because I don't because Steve Kerr doesn't think they can play together

03:56I mean certainly they can play together, but they don't complement each other at all. And

04:03So even when you okay this lineup that you threw out there, I don't I don't hate it

04:08Yeah, Curry Wiggins Kaminga Draymond Trace Jackson Davis. Oh

04:14Man, what I like I like I think that could win you some games. Well, you have no

04:20Playmakers at two or three. So you have two guys in Wiggins and Jonathan Kaminga who are gonna play two and three

04:29But they're kind of the same player. I

04:33Just like they don't

04:35Athleticism through the roof and I know it's just not a jumping contest

04:38But it's Donnie and they don't know what Wiggins worked on this offseason

04:42But well, I just don't put him in that category of when you say playmakers he Kyrie Irvin

04:47No, but to be able to kind of fiddle faddle with the ball and draw the drief defense to you. Yeah, they can't do that

04:55I know it is a problem. So what a JK where I'm just asking and we hadn't seen it yet

05:01But what did he work? I'm sure he worked on his three-point shooting in his ball handling. I'm

05:06I mean, that's what Steve Kerr told him to work on. Let me read this to you real quick

05:11Yeah, Comcast Business Text Line 650

05:14Wait a second the Warriors mantras interchangeable parts guard one through five and play two through four

05:20So why is having duplicate skill set the problem and that's why I talk about Kaminga and Wiggins

05:27Like I would I want them on the court together both are below average passers both are below average rebounders

05:36They they just are for their position. Both of those guys tend to get their points on their own and

05:45Like I don't see either of them benefiting Steph Curry

05:48Hmm, that's just me

05:50but 8 8 8 9 5 7 9 5 7 0 it's hoop season ladies and gentlemen and

05:56The Golden State Warriors have a very interesting team as far as I'm concerned. I think they're way deeper than last year

06:03I think they got 9 or 10 guys who are legitimate NBA players

06:07but a

06:09Strong bench doesn't win you an NBA championship. It can help but it's not gonna win you a title

06:17So, what do you do if you're the Warriors with Kaminga and and and Andrew Wiggins

06:22Or do you just do you just shoehorn them and and ask them to play together and hope that they find something?

06:30I just think it's it's gonna be interesting to watch

06:34How it all unfolds because then there's a guy sitting in the wings Kyle Anderson

06:40Who is

06:42Versatile and can play multiple positions and he would seem to me to be the kind of guy that

06:48Steve Kerr would is really gonna like and so I just know

06:53Kind of how Kerr is he's gonna rely on the guys that he trusts and I can't see him not trusting

06:59Kyle, I get it. So how do we figure this out?

07:03That's the million-dollar question and then at the end of the day the million-dollar question is the answer

07:10How many wins is in that answer? It's good question. Eight eight eight nine five seven nine five

07:17Seven zero is the number once again Warriors. They start their season Saturday against the Clippers in Hawaii and

07:25The six five on the Comcast business text line says what about Moody?

07:29Exactly they just they do not have enough spots for players available. They've got to figure something out because

07:37They're gonna have legitimate players who aren't playing at all. So that's a bad thing. Well, they but then I

07:45just think it's it's set up for a two-for-one deal or a three-for-two deal or something like that, but

07:52I'd love to know what Warriors feel like

07:55Where your fans feel like and let's start it out with one of our guys

07:59Murillo in Petaluma, man. What's up, Murillo? How you doing?

08:05Good morning guys. Good to be the first everything is well in before my take. Thank you

08:10Thank you for putting the whole dream on take out there and not just a cut like the morning rose did which made

08:18Draymond sound like something totally different

08:25I love them. They're my I love I love listening to them. So I'm not I'm not throwing shade

08:30Guru listen to the coach and to your leader. They're telling you what you should know about coming

08:36The coming does not prime to get paid

08:39It's it's about the timeline of his whole career

08:41He needs to fit in here and I love the acquisitions because these guys are able to do that

08:47Kyle Anderson can play the forum super excited for this team

08:50I think it's addiction by subtraction and I'm with you tiny there might be a two-for-one deal coming because I'm sorry

08:58He seems like a guy who we don't we don't know if we can trust the mean that you say

09:03Hey, I'm gonna bet on myself and play the season. I approve that I can do what I think

09:06I don't think he can play this. He can play a starting role yet in that lineup with him and Wiggins

09:13Oh my god, Rick

09:16Wow

09:20Well, not yet Morello not yet, but it's tiny again just quick I know we're up against it

09:25Oh, yeah, we are coming. It doesn't think he cannot play the three. That's a fundamental problem

09:31That that's what my ear like everything else every all the points everybody making valid

09:37But when the guy or the subject matter at hand is telling you it's no big deal

09:42He feels like he's he can handle it

09:45That has me scared that he's not or looked in the mirror and said, you know what?

09:49I'm gonna spend this offseason so I can work on things or skills that can have me being an option at the three

09:56Yeah, and I'm also looking at real quick. There's there. Let's say they start curry

10:01Let's just say for the sake of it

10:03But Jensky starts at two and they go curry put Jensky Wiggins green and trace Jackson Davis

10:09Under that sack under that scenario

10:13Kaminga comes off the bench, but I'm looking at Melton Anderson healed

10:18Moody Peyton Wow. Wow. There's no way they can play

10:22There's no way all those guys are gonna be able to play at least if they're healthy
