Was looking at some very early mock drafts today, and as much as I hate to read paragraph after paragraph about possible offseason moves with so many things still yet to happen (draft order, opt outs, etc), I wanted to post it right here on the board right now that, with the odds of us moving up being so bad, and such a horrible drop off in talent after the top 2 picks, this could be a great chance to use a bad contract (see: C.Magg or J.Craw) to actually move DOWN in the draft.
If the team stamps their intent by broadcasting to the world that they need a new pg, couldnt they use logjam they have at the wing to actually move down (see: Detroit, Portland) to a team that is looking for someone in the Guard department or a bigger body down low. I see:
Maggs, Wright and the 7 going to Detriot for
#14 and Prince
Warriors take a Flynn or Patty Mills to run the point
Its not the ONLY move (still creates a jam at shooting with a guy like Jackson still looking for his final position), but it starts to help make things make sense. AGAIN, if Crawford is still around, this still makes a mess, but its a good start. I just dont think the talent diffference is THAT much where Jennings or Lawson over Flynn or Mills makes THAT much sense, especially if there is about a 5% chance any guy outside of Rubio would actually start come next October anyway.
Anyway, thanks for listening. Stay classy GSOM
