For real-- I'm just saying there is a big difference between "it's good to trade a guy before he declines" and celebrating "haha, we got your best years, onto the next one." Workers should not be cool with that mentality.
Looked at the dude's profile: "Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat 37 seasons of Miami Heat content." He's so in love with the corporation that he's blind to the humanity of the people who make it worth anything.
Sharing part of an NBA relevant post from this thread (there are further exchanges with ChatGPT in this conversation about my criticism of its sourcing which are less basketball-relevant if you want to check it out there):
Wow, big win for ChatGPT vs Deepseek on up-to-date analysis capability. I don't like the websites it sourced from but it is better than nothing. It could be a lot better at picking a credible website like The Athletic that does a lot of Golden State Warriors coverage. So I asked a follow-up...

Wow, big win for ChatGPT vs Deepseek on up-to-date analysis capability. I don't like the websites it sourced from but it is better than nothing. It could be a lot better at picking a credible website like The Athletic that does a lot of Golden State Warriors coverage. So I asked a follow-up question about that.
Question
Are you able to explain why the Golden State Warriors have been a bad basketball team through 1/28/25 in the 2024-25 NBA season?
Deepseek
As of my knowledge cutoff in October 2023, I cannot provide specific details about the Golden State Warriors' performance through January 28, 2025, in the 2024-25 NBA season, as that information is beyond my current scope. However, I can offer some general reasons why a team like the Warriors might struggle in a future season:
Injuries: Key players like Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, or Draymond Green could face injuries, significantly impacting the team's performance.
Aging Core: The Warriors' core players are in the latter stages of their careers. Decline in athleticism, stamina, or effectiveness could contribute to struggles.
Lack of Depth: If the team fails to develop or acquire strong role players and bench contributors, it could lead to inconsistent performances.
Competition: The NBA is highly competitive, and other teams may have improved their rosters, making it harder for the Warriors to dominate.
Coaching or System Issues: Changes in coaching staff or a failure to adapt to evolving NBA strategies could hinder success.
Chemistry Problems: Roster changes or internal conflicts could disrupt team cohesion.
If the Warriors are indeed struggling by January 2025, these factors (or a combination of them) could be potential reasons. For specific insights, you would need to consult updated sources or analysis closer to that time.

As of January 28, 2025, the Golden State Warriors have faced several challenges contributing to their subpar performance in the 2024-25 NBA season. Key factors include:
1. Offensive Inefficiency
The Warriors have struggled with shooting consistency. During a recent 4-12 stretch, their field goal percentage dropped to 42.4%, and their three-point shooting decreased to 34.3%, leading to an average of just 105.4 points per game. This is a notable decline from earlier in the season when they averaged 119.1 points per game.
Defensively, the team has regressed. Opponents' field goal percentages have increased, and points allowed per game have risen from 109.1 to 111.8 during the same period. This decline in defensive efficiency has made it difficult for the Warriors to maintain leads and close out games effectively.
Stephen Curry remains the focal point of the Warriors' offense. However, in a recent game against the Los Angeles Lakers, Curry was held scoreless in the second half, resulting in a 107-117 loss. Such instances highlight the team's vulnerability when Curry is contained, underscoring the need for more consistent contributions from other players.
The Warriors' bench has struggled to provide consistent support. While the team ranks ninth in bench scoring, their plus-minus is 19th in the league, indicating that the second unit often fails to maintain momentum, leading to lost leads and increased pressure on the starters.
The team has faced challenges in securing defensive rebounds, often allowing opponents second-chance opportunities. This has been a recurring issue, with the Warriors ranking low in defensive rebounding metrics, further exacerbating their defensive struggles.

Dudes flooding the thread with 20 posts in a row with 20 separate tweets but want to co-sign a condemnation of a 500 word post. As the youngsters say, "Make it make sense."
