Good morning and welcome to the Athletic NBA Daily. Coming up, we're talking about Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors with an old friend, Xenokeda.
Good morning, everybody. Good morning, Zita. Welcome back. Welcome back. It's it w hasn't even been, you know, five days. Welcome back, my friend. I
know, I know. I'm so happy to be back. And also, you sound so good in the host chair. Look at you. This energy is like
making me feel good. I th when when you were hosting, I was taking notes. That's what I was doing. I was taking notes. Okay, okay. Look at you, hyping me up already. Hyping me up already. Listeners, listeners of the show obviously know who you are. Uh, but everybody who will be listening to this, I'm gonna do a little intro. Little little intro. Of course, as you know, uh host of No Off Season, uh, the WNBA show for us here at The Athletic. Also one of the hosts of the Athletic Show, which you should go and check out. Uh, and also covers the Golden State Warriors for for NBC. Does you know everything. Ever all everything all in between. I always say you were like the busiest person that I've ever met in sports.
Uh that's fine. Yeah, Zena Kidd. Yeah, Xenek. To the point that I had
to take a step back so I could be able to focus on some things. Yeah. To the point where you have to leave me and Dave. I know. I appreciate y'all welcoming be welcoming me back and also allowing me to do it in a way of like it works with my other job of covering the warriors.
Yeah, exactly. Okay. Let's let's talk about the Golden State Warriors because uh they are I would say they are an interesting team. They always will be when Steph Curry is on that roster. Um and while you look at this team and they they haven't necessarily made a ton of moves. Uh they they haven't really done much this offseason. I think a lot of people come in with the idea of, you know, stagnation. It what I've I've actually thought about when it comes to this Golden State Warriors team is sort of this mantra of It is what it is. You know, they've they've kind of accepted it is what it is. That's the point. That being said, Warriors fans are still abundant. There are millions and millions of Golden State Warriors fans and they are still excited about this team.
So what is the most exciting storyline or thing that Warriors fans should be looking forward to this season?
Ooh, that's a good question. I would say this is probably the first year that this whole concept of the two timeline era. Could potentially come to fruition. Okay. And that is because, of course, when you look at some of the first round picks that the Warriors have had over the years, James Wiseman, second overall pick back in twenty twenty two, I believe it was. Um, or earlier than that, but yeah, James Wiseman and then seventh overall pick with Jonathan Kaminga. Jonathan
Kaminga, yeah.
James Wiseman not in the league. Jonathan Kaminga now signed with Minnesota with a deal that's lesser than his rookie contract. Uh but
it's a win
because of his agent as you know, I'm happy he's still in the league. I am happy he's very I do wish he could have signed that extension with the Warriors, um from a financial
I bet Jonathan Kaminga feels that way too.
I bet Jonathan Gaminga feels that way about the Warriors sometimes feel that way as well. But either way, the point is when you look at what they've done with their first round picks, it's been kind of like this two timeline thing hasn't manifested in the way that you would have imagined it. Right. But now you're looking at Yaxel Landaborg, comes in eleventh pick for the Warriors this year over the course of summer league. You guys saw him solid, solid player. Of course, can obviously put the ball in the basket, but the biggest thing was He was a good defender, good size, someone that can switch. Uh and when you think about something, when you look at the Warriors roster, a lot of old bodies. That defense is going to be key.
It's one of the reasons Will Richard got a lot of time early in his rookie career and his you know rookie campaign was because he could come on the floor and be a good help side defender.
