Whether it's Mike Dunleavy Jr.

or Bob Myers, I think they've done everything that they can within the constraints of ownership.

Ownership is the one that got fixated on the young guys.

I think Bob Myers and Mike Dunleavy Jr., who succeeded him, have done what they can.

And look, whereas the Lakers, I think, were just flailing around for a while, the Warriors, I think, actually made some good moves along the way, including, most critically, the Jimmy Butler deal.

Now, maybe it was too little too late, but Jimmy made them a much better team when they got him last year.

And they did win a playoff series.

And they might have won a second series and gotten to the conference finals if Steph himself hadn't been hurt in that Timberwolves series.

So they...

I can't say that they haven't done right by Steph and by the basketball gods and by everything else because they've tried.

They just locked themselves into certain decisions and certain young players early on that prevented them from doing more sooner.

And so now to Logan's point, yeah, the players they have aren't worth a whole lot in trade.

They do have, I think, all their picks.

And I'll still say, I will say this every time, fuck the future.

I don't care about the future.

Your future sucks anyway once Steph is gone.

You ain't just bouncing right back and becoming a playoff team in year one or two.

Like, it takes a while.

It's going to take a while anyway.

If you have to spend some draft capital, I'm not saying throw good money after bad.
