It's a weird situation....there are articles like this. And then articles about how GS is going to look to move him this summer along with their 1st round pick for a Vet all star type player.

So who knows. I think the rest of this year is essentially a tryout.

1st pick in the first round Wiggins is Ofer All-Star games. People equate that to him being a bust - which he hardly is.
I predict he doesn't stay in GS - and I think it would be cool for him if he played for the Raptors.

I think it's more telling when only one of those types of articles have quotes from people inside the organization. Obviously, they aren't going to come out saying they are looking to trade him, but I think from Kerr's quotes it seems they have every intention of keeping him.

I agree with the tryout for the rest of the year. First 3 games they have had him guarding the other teams best perimeter player for the most part. Saying once Klay and Steph are healthy they expect him to be option #3 and the teams lock down defender. How much he accepts that will determine how long they keep him.

Excited to see Devonte' and Svi play tonight. Hopefully see PDub in the house too.
The area where I work and live is very oversaturated with All-Star activity.
Tomorrow is going to be insane.

Saw D'Tae is a +1200 to win 3 point shooting contest.

Might make that play.

Last night 2/20.....

Joel 39 points, 16 reb, 2 ast, 2 stl, 2 blk
Devonte' 0 points, 0-7 fg, 0-5 3pt, 7 ast, 2 reb, 2 stl, team worst -7
Svi 7 points, 5 reb, 2 ast
Ben 9 points, 3 rebounds

Ouch devonte.

Wiggins played against Ben

22 points, 10-17 fg, 2-4 3pt, 3 reb, 0 ast, 1 stl, 2 blk

Markieff agrees to a buyout with the pistons. few teams looking to pick him up for playoff roster depth. lakers supposedly the front runners.

morris vs morris in the battle for LA?

interesting comments from draymond green. talking about wiggins. could draymond green (and golden state) be the best thing that ever happened to wiggins?

I think GS will be great for Wiggins, but I’m sure Draymond will call him a bitch soon enough.

I'm still not sure I believe GS plans to keep Wiggins past this off season.

don't see how they would be able to move him. they already had a guy (deangelo russell) they were using as a trade asset. its pointless to make the trade for wiggins unless they intended to use wiggins. wiggins will be harder to move cause of his contract and question marks about his defense, 3 pt shot, and dedication stemming from his time with the minnesota dumpsterfire

all their public comments talk about unlocking his defensive potential and using his length/athleticism/versatility. they aren't building around him or asking him to carry a franchise the way minnesota did. he fills a void. they see him as harrison barnes 2.0. last year they had barnes they went 73-9. what they want from him actually fits his skillset. 3rd scoring option. role player. athletic freak. wont need to be a vocal leader
