Because they probably expected a little bit more out of him when they finally brought him over and given him an extension. Well, not an extension, but like a multi-year deal. All right. Maybe we make this the Golden State part and then we'll get the deal after this. Because I totally get it. Like you need to figure out with Steph at this age and still playing as well.
And, you know, I think this becomes kind of the noise on social media of like, they weren't a 12 and three team. They're not a very good basketball team right now. And there's some shooting numbers where you're like, everybody was making shots. They were playing absurd level defense. But now to watch Steph out there with a massive drop off to who the number two scoring option is.
And, you know, some nights Wiggins has it. Kaminga's had a couple moments. But when you watch them in all their clutch games, I think they played 24. They lost to Toronto the other night. And you watch what Steph is dealing with. Like Steph is not the problem with this basketball team right now. I can't believe anybody could ever come to that conclusion.
But you're like, okay, well, how do we help him?
When the options are the Beals of the world, not to say that they have a match for Beal, or the Butlers of the world, even though you would hate being in the front office and telling Lake up in ownership that, hey, we're going to wait for the thing that I can't tell you is going to present itself, but I'm promising you waiting for the unknown is still better than trading for the known.
And that's where the Butler stuff doesn't I still don't really think it changes who they are. And if you're waiting for this magical trade to change who the Warriors are and become a title contender, like you're probably waiting forever.
But some of these quick fix, like because somebody's a name, a Levine or these types of like acquisitions where you're like, well, you made the team better and now there's a better number two scoring option. Those are the things I would have a hard time saying yes to if you're in the position of running a front office.
I just don't know how the Warriors got this lucky to have somebody be this smart as the face of the franchise. I mean, he's the greatest teammate of his generation and that he would do the opposite of what so many other stars would be doing, especially as their window closes where it's like, hey, just do something because I'm a star and you owe this to me.
even though it doesn't make basketball sense. I just want to be super impatient. I want to put public pressure on you. I want to do all this bullshit stuff. It's passive aggressive because I deserve to and I get to.
And instead, Steph just goes the other way, like the logical basketball way of like, sure, yeah, we can do like something stupid, which is not what he's saying, but he's essentially saying that. All right. So do you think Giannis was saying something when he was talking about the records against the top team?
I don't know the answer, by the way.
um but they have not been good against you know they beat okc in the nba cup game but they have not been good against you know the top of the eastern conference and that's who you're going to have to get through here because i think people feel like the dame acquisition was was based on yannis like the yannis smoke stuff has been really weird for like a long time and then bucks fans have just
Yeah, it's a scary proposition. All right. So how much? There's still more to do. Don't worry, folks, because we haven't really done the Beale Levine thing and maybe Milwaukee Works and all of that, too. But whether it's a Butler deal, I mean, Beale has the no trade. So that's that's more like outright public control. Right. Like, hey, this is what I want to do. This is what I don't want to do.
But with somebody like Butler, where you're on the front office side and you're trying to figure out, like you're talking to his reps going, how's this going to go if we trade for your guy? And they say, well, you know, how invested are you perhaps long term? in our guy. How do those conversations work that we know aren't necessarily supposed to happen, but it's the way business is done.
So they have to happen for everybody to feel like they know what they're walking into.
Right now, outside of that official current team allowing that say 24 or 48 hour window, um, I mean, imagine like the tires are kicked though in hypotheticals.
So the agent knows before that granted access of where your head is at financially.
I still think the Memphis one makes basketball sense. I don't know what pieces would be going out.
I'm not talking about the money. I'm talking about the one. Give me the one thing that everybody can look at Houston and say, well, yeah, but you're not getting Tariq. You're not getting any of those guys. Is there a player... Wells has been so good for them as a rookie, by the way, Memphis is front office.
The stuff that they do finding these guys, like they are, they are in the conversation with just doing like, if you want to go like, who do you trust? Like late in the first, in the, in the draft where you're like, they have just have a nice tracker.
