Golden State's Andrew Wiggins plans to attend Warriors-Thunder on Tuesday. The reason for Wiggins' leave of absence since mid-February is that his father, Mitchell Wiggins, has been dealing with a serious medical situation, sources close to the situation say. 🙏🏽

rough

Damn, glad it at least wasn't one of his kids but that's still hard. Hope his return means his pops is on the mend and it isn't just playoff pressure.

excited to see all the iterations of this rotation in action, finding minutes for donte and gp2 might prove to be hard, they look excellent on the floor together but hard to play them together without playing a 4 guard lineup... which kerr has been doing a ton w wiggs out. hopefully kuminga doesnt get squeezed out too much, too.

curry/poole
klay/donte/gp2
wiggins/kuminga
dray/looney

stoked for dubs-kings norcal showdown

dying @ this

REPORTER: How much do you think your veterans create a sense of chaos?

haaa

i think poole might be the worst defensive player in the league, down there w trae

Jordan Poole's defense can often be hard to mask, even with a solid rotation from Moses Moody pic.twitter.com/pcCX329lR0

just decided to stand there

he puts so much pressure on the rest of the team. ive seen a few good defensive games from him this season so i think he has it in him i just dont think his focus can be counted on. and you have to play him with 4 other good defenders

in the 'offs the other team would work as many picks as they need to isolate him on defense

chase crowd sucks.

This is really interesting to me. I thought the crowd was dead starting at Thrive City and the entire game and I think Steph felt the same way. pic.twitter.com/bGDT2EgFOh

this is what u get for abandoning oakland

get outta here with "thrive city"

i am really tired of warriors gentrification handwringing + guilt tbh!

oakland crowd was cool! sf crowd is bad! we all get it!

cmon man we can’t give the yuppies a pass it’s one of the classic safe targets

i'm not giving them a pass! it's just that the facts are well established and there's not a lot left to say!

i think the talk has been pretty muted but it was just way more obvious in comparison w the sac crowd. and i think its interesting that curry looked that bugged about it.

there should never be that many bay area billionaires in one room is what it boils down to

or…should there

well

is "the hague" a room?

yogi looney

myles turner is also really into yoga

By the middle of last season, Looney had become such a believer that he organized a Joga session for anyone in basketball operations — players, coaches and staff members — who wanted to learn more. As usual, Webb led the class remotely. Even from thousands of miles away, she could sense varied levels of interest.

“Draymond clipped his toenails during it,” she said, laughing. “I was like, is this actually happening?”

draymond should do yoga lol

all my dubs do yoga heeeyy

good thread

Curious about where AD matches up tonight if Warriors stick with GP2 (assume they do). Second half adjustment saw AD on Wiggins in an effort to negate some of the Warriors' short roll activity.

This is the exact type of read Wiggins will need to make to exploit that. pic.twitter.com/WtjxT79w4c

Warriors receive: Jaylen Brown and Malcolm Brogdon

Celtics receive: Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins

yes please lol

I'd trade Poole for a tuna sandwich at this point

hmm i think they should trade him for giannis

would prob have to include a 2nd round pick for him. a price too steep.

can we trade for a new player development staff too

didnt they staff up like crazy in that department just a couple years ago?

Too bad we traded five 2nd rounders for Gary Payton *pukes*

lol

win or lose this offseason gonna be interesting for the dubs.

"Interesting" is underselling it, it's going to be a bloodbath.

I’m still holding onto my JP and Wiseman stock #tothemoon

poole was very good last year for long stretches and was especially great in the playoffs.
