00:00We're about to find out if the dynasty truly is if it's over and the that boat has left the dock and
00:08It affects the chef more than anybody. So that's what I'm excited about. I feel like one of the themes
00:14I've heard from a lot of the warrior veteran players is they are really
00:19Not talking championship Wow. They're not they're talking about being better from last year
00:25They're talking about making the playoffs
00:28Draymond green
00:29Talking about if they win a title in six years
00:32It'll be because of what's happening now, and he'll still be a part of it
00:36Even if he's not on the team
00:38It almost does feel like they're all talking about building something for down the road that they won't be a part of
00:44So I don't I don't know where we stand with the dynasty
00:51You know
00:52Well, we're closer to it being over than we ever have I think that's safe to say
00:57But I think I the one thing I just I want to get into with warrior fans
01:01Is what I started the show with and that is we played two soundbites
01:06one from Steve Kerr in April and one from Draymond green from yesterday, right and
01:12There were two statements made by each of those guys and Steve Kerr
01:18Well in April of last year said can Jonathan coming to play the three
01:24Okay, it's a good question. I don't know
01:27He's got to do
01:29certain things better
01:31Yesterday Draymond green was asked what coming this position is and he says a three
01:38and
01:40then he described all the characteristics you need to play power forward and
01:45Draymond green says can come in to do that. I
01:49Don't know. Hmm. Can you can you turn a receiver into a quarterback in two years?
01:55So that's when he start cooking it just by what warrior
02:00personnel and Draymond said and Kerr said
02:04it's not hard to decipher that they've got to figure something out with cominga and
02:10But when I don't know what the answer is, but clearly they
02:17Haven't figured it out yet
02:18So they're gonna do it on the fly this season because I thought that's what this offseason was about and that's why I was I
02:25Guess you could say basketball disappointed
02:28Cominga didn't say anything wrong, but he didn't say what I wanted to hear
02:32I wanted Jonathan to do the Draymond. Hey, I looked myself in the mirror. My game needed improvement here
02:37This is what I know we need study. He was saying I'm a chameleon put me anywhere and I'm good. No
02:45Listen, they're telling you
02:48They're telling you I mean, so we're gonna do or try to accomplish what you just laid out during the season
02:57Yeah, I don't think that bodes well for cominga
03:00I
03:02Can't disagree with you. I can't disagree with you. This team's got a lot of players. Here's the other thing
03:08Let me I bet you give it to me. I'll bet you I can stump you
03:14Okay. Oh, yeah, not that way. Yeah, what player on?
03:20the Warriors
03:22Yeah right now is
03:26signed for the longest period of time
03:30They have one guy whose contract runs through
03:352028
03:37Everybody else, you know Curry's gonna run through 27 Wiggins 27
03:43but there's a guy on the roster who's
03:46Got his own option for 2027
03:502028
03:51TJD buddy heel
03:54Buddy he how is that? He got a four-year deal. He's making eight nine nine and ten
04:02But this is what buddy. This is why I
04:06Don't know you answer me this if I give you this stat. Does it make you excited or less excited?
04:12I'm looking at the Warriors payroll
04:16Listen to these numbers
04:17The Anthony Melton 12 million Gary Payton nine, but he healed
04:23nine Kyle Anderson nine
04:27loony eight
04:28Kaminga seven point five moody six
04:32pajevsky three point five
04:34Those contracts are so tradable. It's not even fun. Just super excited
04:40I mean, it's just not even fun my gosh
04:42So the Golden State Warriors have a payroll right now that is absolutely ripe
04:48To make a move. Yeah, the I would be very excited about that
04:53but it does mean they're gonna have to go into this season and
04:57Figure out who the keepers are and who the people who might be traded off
05:02And that's why I want to break my pin because it has a tryout feel
05:06Yes, and that's what I don't like and the great
05:10Jay-z and Jermaine Dupri out of Atlanta sunny. They had a song back in the day a hit song
05:14It was called money ain't a thing and when I hear those numbers those like numbers to those contracts of those players
05:21I mean, it's possible. I mean they could really be sticking and moving but I guess Donnie
05:27I don't like the pit stop of we're gonna make a trade
05:31Let's just say at the when you can at the deadline and then all hell's gonna break loose for the rest of the NBA because
05:37That's when we're gonna take off. That's what I don't like. I don't think that's what they're counting on
05:43To make to be average and then make a move
05:45I think they think this team could be pretty good and that maybe with a move down the road
05:50Then they're back in but am I wrong bless you. I looked at the move as a big boy content
05:56They're gonna get a big boy doing that move
05:58So that's gonna cost you and change who you are a little bit
06:02Around the edges, but they need a second best. No doubt. That's what I told you. I think no doubt
06:09I think they're poised to to try the only way you can do it. That's their reality. Yeah, and I think I
06:16Absolutely when I look at these contracts and the players they acquired and what they paid these players
06:22It is clear to me that
06:24They
06:26They they use this summer to try to make a big move. They couldn't make a big move, but everything they did
06:34This offseason
06:36Preserve their ability. Okay to make a big move
06:39You know that I got and that's where and that's where Dunleavy is
06:43You know, we were as ambitious as anybody to make a move, but we can't be undisciplined
06:48Do you have a problem? You know, I'm a nerd
06:50Yeah, I gave you my my deal lineup, you know earlier for the Warriors, but
06:56Would you have a problem if I told you all that I'm jealous of the Kings starting five?
07:01Because they were able to get their guy or their Paul George or marketing in regarded to Rosen Stoney
07:07Yeah, that's the team that sent you home
07:09But if you look at that now, obviously would you trade to be a king or a warrior the last decade?
07:15Warriors but right now when I look at that starting five
07:19That's gonna be the starting five after the trading deadline after the all-star break like is sexy everywhere
07:25It matches with the Rose and Fox a bonus Murray like oh my god, Stoney
07:31I'm I don't feel that way about this one because all I keep hearing is openings
07:37openings and
07:391111 guys who are all like but what what number of games or weeks or months are we gonna get to the where it's like
07:46That's it. Goo. That's that's the that's the that's the formula taste to taste the sauce. That's it
07:53Can I can I ask a question of warrior fans because I've heard this from you and I think Evan has chimed into
08:00about how
08:03You know, how can you be in the West and not know who your starting lineup is?
08:06I
08:08Doesn't bother me one iota
08:10It just doesn't what if we told you it should why I step back and said if you look at their talent
08:18There are decisions to be made who starts it to well, you know
08:21No, I know what I'm not mad. No, but I got Wiggins and Kamenka
08:26They're not looking at this team through a championship prison right now, of course
08:30I think that's what where I'm doing or trying to do and I was like give me the last team that won a chip Stoney
08:36They won it all and in the Association
08:39They didn't know who their starting five was the to the depths of what we like there are three possible spots open to
08:48Fans eight eight eight nine five seven nine five seven zero. I mean, who do you play Peyton or Kyle Anderson?
08:56Who do you play healed or moody? Who do you play moody or pajamas? Those are real questions actually
09:02So we got to figure it out. That's the issue the Warriors have
09:06With their third best player through their ninth best player right now in and do that. I
09:11Think they could be better than last year. Yeah, I mean they used how about this? Okay, so seven
09:17They didn't know what their starting lineup was last year. They used 27 different starting lineups. Maybe this year
09:24they're gonna use the preseason to figure it out and here's the other thing that Steve Kerr said and
09:30It's absolutely worth taking note of it's not
09:35Who wins like Curry's gonna start at one?
09:38All right, the the starting twos not necessarily gonna be the best starting two
09:45it's gonna be the player who can play with curry and
09:49Then play the two and then match with the other three guys the way Kerr wants people to match
09:55wants people to
09:57Play well study. That's your best starting to them who the guy they can do that
10:02It may not be as down to my point is is if you have curry and you want to play Wiggins at two
10:07Yeah, and coming at three. It's like, okay, you have no playmakers at two or three
10:12You only have guys who finish you have two players now in your lineup that don't rebound
10:19And so that's a big onus to put on Draymond or whoever's playing the five. I
10:24I
10:27Love it. I actually love it because you're right. I don't think they're a championship team right now
