He isnt. He also does nothing well a wing man needs to do well in that Warriors system... besides run the floor i guess. And his contract is horrible. Wouldnt be surprised if they try to flip him this summer.
They should have gotten at least 1 more 1st round pick. Then I would have said they clearly won on the trade.....
 
I've always stated.
NBA should be a 20 team league, playing a 38 game season similar to European soccer. (just with out the extra tournaments and shit)
Nah that's too short. Just have every team play each other twice. Home and away. That's it. It would solve the ratings issues and I would venture to say most games would be completely sold out....
 
It's a horrible trade for GS; Wiggins is a bust it's that simple. He was rated to have the worst contract in the NBA. He an average defender at best. Hes completely inefficient scorer. Takes terrible shots. Mid range game is inefficient. Hes been in the league a long time. Hes not good nor is he no where near Barnes. Minny won on this deal......

I don't know man. Can a leopard change it's spots?

He's been a coddled for his career, so can he do the small things that Golden State needs like defense?

Because damn, for his size and athleticism he sucks as a rebounder...which says something about his effort level.

IMO they found out D'Angelo Russell is a one trick pony who's also overrated and there isn't much of a market for him. They thought that all star would get trade partners.
 
Man I just checked one of my fantasy lineups and see Wiggins and Andre got traded....to some unexpected teams....

I haven’t even went to the other lineups or even check this thread.
Last time I was here i was on page 112, I see y’all moved to page 116....

man I know there have to be more surprises

I'm agreeing with you. I don't think he can change his spots because it's all tied to effort, on and off the court. And he doesn't/hasn't put forth effort to be just solid. I think hes just another version of jeff green but clearly the warriors think more highly of him......

I can say this, it’s only be a sample size and we have years of tape to debate my point but dude been doing great on the bounds since he came back from that injury...

Great?


That muthafucka is 6'8.

Chris Paul isn't taller than me and gets 5 boards
 
we completely disagree
Barnes maximized his ability with coaching from the warriors and playing with the warriors
he left and literally nobody has said his name ever again.
Wiggins isn't GREAT he is unpolished and hasn't been coached a day in his career
its 50/50 on whether he can do something.
you CAN'T have Russell out there that was proven.
wiggins plus the picks.
or Russell off the bench?

What is Wiggins better at?

Not a better shooter, rebounder or defender.

Neither of them have handle

He shoots more...that's what he's better than Harrison at :dunno:
 
Im seeing Piston fans saying Drummond is an average defender... I dont know,how true it, since I don't watch too many Pistons games..:dunno:


I don't understand,why every center has to shoot threes but Beilein will get him to take more threes. He did it with Tristan.

Speaking of Tristan, what the Cavs going to do since they're not going to buyout his contract.

Drummond has been having a solid season. He just doesn't get talked about much because the Pistons aren't good. I respect him even more for not going away from what he does best and shooting 3s like all the modern centers. Not all centers need to have to put up 3s. Drummond is at his best as a pick and rolls and working down low.

I hope he gets his payday this summer.

Still can't believe pat was able to get rid of Waiters
I completely forgot Waiters was still in Miami. I thought they cut him like a month ago. I guess he has another chance to clean his act up .... or dig the hole even deeper. No hate towards the brotha, I just hate seeing people play their way outta of the league because they can't stop fucking up off court. I hope he can turn his career around.
 

"I've been hearing (trade rumors) for the last four years so it don't faze me," Drummond said. "Just keep playing and whatever happens, happens."

How's he gonna act shocked that he's traded if the Pistons have been trying to trade him for four years?

The Pistons weren't going to let him opt into the last year on his contract(at 28 million).
He damn sure ain't worth a max contract because he has sometimey effort.
Drummond's a modern day Benoit Benjamin/Derrick Coleman.

Wiggins is more athletically gifted and has shown more flashes than Barnes ever did
Barnes literally had to make wide-open jumpers at a 40% clip in the finals to finish off a near-perfect season and he couldn't
so that's the bar.
Can Wiggins take advantage of getting the 3rd best defender on him with space to operate in a wide open lane and capitalize on wide-open shots cause nobody guarding him?

We'll see.

Barnes couldn't.
 
People don’t dislike it I think we all confused. Why are the Cavs trading for him? And why is his value so low? I know the league is getting away from big men but damn.
The league isn’t getting away from the big man. It’s like 5 years removed from them. Drummond was shooting 3s last year from designed sets. His value is low simply because he can’t extend the defense. They don’t care about rebounding and defensive prowess anymore.
 
I'm not sure what Cleveland is doing. They have Thompson, Love and Drummond.

I guess you get rid of salary, but if you're rebuilding why not try and get rid of Thompson?


They tried to trade Tristan but the Rockets didn't have anything to offer. I thought the Clippers would make an offer since they were one of the teams to ask about him.

They tried trading Love throughout the season but teams are not willing to take his contract and he's softer than tissue.

I think the problem is he’s only showing flashes of being a good player. He’s been in the league for a minute now. Front offices looking at him like he’s old now. They’re hoping he can knock down wide open shots in the bay to justify that bloated salary.

Dying @ bills acting like this nigga bout to be a stud slot receiver facing opposing teams out matched nickel corners. :lol:

Man this nigga stinks!!

Id be surprised if he is still around by August. Props on getting a potential lottery pick in the process tho.
