Who are the two best role players to close games with next to Steph, Jimmy and Draymond? We prioritize what skillsets matter most for the Dubs at the end of games and come up with optimal closing lineup combinations. Steve Kerr and the Warriors simply cannot continue parading out dozens of different lineups in crunch-time hoping to strike lightning in a bottle.
Jake Fischer tells us (for the 100th time) that the Warriors have interest in Trey Murphy III. So let's get it frickin' done. Host Chris Chinn has decided it's time to pay the steep price to give Steph Curry a real shot at a 5th ring.
Shams and Slater shared huge updates on where things stand with the Warriors negotiations with Jonathan Kuminga. While it still stands at a stalemate, at least new concepts to deals are being explored. But time is running out... Happy 100 episodes to Stacking Dubs!
Reports say Jonathan Kuminga is not budging on his stance towards the Warriors' 2 yr $45m offer. What would it mean for him and the Dubs if he actually did the unthinkable and accepted the $7.9m qualifying offer? Host Chris Chinn takes you through what options that may open up for GSW and offers a compromise that both sides should accept.
Should the Warriors wash their hands of Kuminga to obtain Josh Giddey? While both are similar in overall value, they couldn't be more different as players. We analyze whether the swap in skillsets would be a better fit for Steph Curry's Warriors.
Kuminga is reportedly seeking $25m per year, which the Warriors are unwilling to meet. What does a realistic contract look like and how does that affect the Warriors' cap-space against the 2nd apron? And WHY are the Dubs seeking a 1st round pick in trades when they should be all-in now?
As of July 3, free agency has been a game of patience for the Warriors. We give you the latest scoop on Kuminga trade talks and scour the FA market for best and worst case scenarios.
Jonathan Kuminga remains the biggest x-factor in the Steph Curry Warriors championship hopes. With news the team is looking to re-sign him, we look at three scenarios for him-- including a breakout year, what it would look like, and how it can be achieved.
Monte Poole recently declared that he's heard the Warriors are not expected to move on from Kuminga. We dive into the many reasons why this is not a good idea for the Dubs and the many cons to doing so, with many only 1-2 pros.
There's a glaring need for the Warriors to get at least one new center this offseason. But which center(s) fits the unique skillsets of Steph Curry, Draymond Green, and Jimmy Butler? We look at how the Warriors should approach the center market heading into next year.
It's a huge offseason for the Warriors and they should be all-in to give Steph Curry the best chance at a 5th ring. All assets-- Kuminga, draft picks-- should be on the table. Host Chris Chinn details the two big trades he'd make and subsequent signings.
That sucked. Now what? The Warriors' season came to an end without the knowledge of how far Steph Curry could have carried this roster through what may have been his best chance given the remaining playoff teams. Host Chris Chinn tells you where it went wrong and what needs to happen for next year.
Our hearts all feel for Steph Curry watching helplessly from the sideline as an even more hopeless Warriors struggled to contain Anthony Edwards and the Wolves in game 4. The Dubs have one last chance to extend the series in hopes Steph can eventually return and save their season.
Playoff Jimmy dominated for 3 1/2 quarters and Jonathan Kuminga played his best all-around game in his career. Despite the efforts, they couldn't find enough support to avoid falling in game 3 to Minnesota.
The Warriors came out flat but ultimately found enough positives in their game 2 loss to Minnesota to inspire hope as they return home to Chase Center. Jonathan Kuminga and Trayce Jackson-Davis popped with a combined 33 points and should find ample opportunity in game 3. The Wolves got a big scare when Anthony Edwards departed with what seemed like a severe ankle injury, but returned after halftime and finished with 20 points.
Steph Curry left with a hamstring injury, which turned this game suddenly into a must-win game for the Dubs. Fortunately, the defense-- and Minnesota's rust-- were enough to hold on to a game 1 victory.
Buddy Hield did his best Chef Curry impression and carried the Warriors offense with 33 points on 9-11 3pt. That would be enough combined with a fantastic defensive effort led by Draymond Green and 14 4th qtr points from Steph Curry. The Warriors survived and advanced a brutal series vs Houston and meet a rested Wolves next as the quest for 5 rings continues.
Pray for the bear. Dillon Brooks stupidly woke up Jimmy Butler heading into half before ultimately committing a game-losing 3pt foul on Butler with the game tied under a minute left. That, and some DPOY-level play from Draymond Green, was all the Warriors needed to barely defeat the Rockets and go up 3-1.
Playing without Jimmy Butler, Steph Curry was magnificent--single-handedly keeping a sinking Dubs' offense afloat long enough to outlast the Rockets in Game 3. Chase Center was rocking as a Draymond Green-led defensive effort stymied Houston's attack and the Warriors took a 2-1 series lead.
