    Sounds like the initial stage but what do you do to become a playoff proven GM or championship GM eventually?

    Stone doesnt set the minutes. Both SIlas and Stone have said this. The guys that are being played the minutes they are, is because Silas wants it that way.

    wouldt he look more like genius if his 16th pick won the ROY, made an allstar or won HC or made playoffs in year 1 or 2 of rebuild?

    nothing makes sense except they dont truly care and just going tru motions...

    or taking money under the table or fixing the bets...or all of the above...

    also they perhaps made deals with players agencies so they playing their agents guys in order to get better deals and more talented players in future...

    “We were just playing streetball out there,” guard Jalen Green said. “We weren't playing together no more. We didn’t have no fight. Yeah, just an energy drop.”

    “You just said it. That ball is just stagnant,” he said. “I think we’re playing our best when we’re moving the ball, get the defense shifting and then make our attack. Or just locking up on defense and getting in transition.”

    Jalen will need to tell the team KPJ needs to go. Things won't change before that.

    If we were to get the no. 2 pick, perhaps that problem would sort itself out.

    Same thing if we get the number 1 pick, the 5 spot would sort itself out too. ;)

    Porter and green are just too similar. Their strengths don’t even magnify each other on offense very often.

    The choice is easy. By this time next year, I believe Porter Junior has positive trade value and we will abandon this strategy and KPJ in the summer. TyTy, Scoot Henderson or some other rookie being the next go around.

    lol Silas and the vets(eg CWood, John Wall, imagine that!) taught Jalen wonderful fluff talk for the press...

    they both would be wonderful contributing players in GSW system to the point you wouldn't have recognized them...just like andrew wiggins...

    imagine jalen green on the warriors playing alongside steph?

    hed be a defensive stopper and a nightmare for defenses to the point ppl would be saying its not fair, why silver allowed steph to be paired with jalen green!?
