Transition words & phrases

They take James Wiseman out of Memphis, Max.

All things considered, including what Jay just said.

No, it was the wrong choice, definitively the wrong choice.

And by the way, Steve Kerr doesn't have to run a system.

If he's a great coach and I believe he is, we'll be able to adapt.

They could have a completely different style offense that fits the, you know, not try to fit a round peg in a square hole.

I'm not saying Wiseman won't be a very good player, at least the DeAndre Jordan type.

Scouts think his floors, DeAndre Jordan, a hell of a player if that's you ain't gonna be any worse than that a hell of a player, right?

But there is a requisite amount of shooting you need in the modern MBA from distance.

See, I'm not saying they can't play another style.

He'll shoot a lot of three is like a 33% shooter, and that's because he's made improvements.

And that's playing on the Warriors, where he gets the spacing right.

Because where Steph and Clay launch from not all threes are created equal.

It gives the defense has to rotate from farther away.

And even with that shooting under, you know, three had one or two slip.

When Wiseman's not a shooter, Paschal is not a shooter.

You know, I'm so fascinated by I'm so fast.

I'm I'm so fascinated by you talking the basketball people like you know, more than us.

We watch the games, we know what the hell you talking about.

When you look at the Western Conference, you not just look at the team we're talking about here.

We got a look at some of the other teams of what they're expected to do or not expected to do.

Portland was a question mark that came on strong in the bubble before the bubble.

We understand that New Orleans was a question mark.

I'm saying Take into account coaching, take into account experience, take into account marksmanship.

The bottom line is Andrew Wiggins was no scrub if Jimmy Butler, conjoined Karl Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins and turn them into a playoff team from a perennial lottery team.

I think a healthy Steph Curry in that system being coached by Steve Kerr shooting the ball the way that he can shoot with Draymond not looking for him to shoot but defend rebound, pushing the ball up the floor, creating playmaking opportunities for other guys finally having a post presence because the damn show wasn't Joshua Whopper Jr or Andrew Bogut from years ago.

You take all of those things into consideration.

I'm talking about potentially squeezing into a playoff into a playoff.

But can we definitively definitively look here and go like this?

All of those teams I mentioned, you know, for beyond a shadow of a doubt that they're going to step up and produce better than Golden State.

Can we definitively say Wiseman's the right choice?

But then Andrew Bogey, when it's a world championship with the Golden State Warriors.

Wiseman will be a presence in the low post offensive.

I know that Bogey was great defensively as a rim protector.

All I'm saying Stephen A is like Wiseman's not gonna be a guy that you throw the ball to on the block and say, Hey, go get me 20.

He's gonna be utilized in the continuity system that Steve Kerr has, which means he's gonna be on the perimeter.

And I guess that leads to a lot of questions, right?

How do you play Draymond Green and Wiseman together?

Because they're both kind of similar players.

And then I hate talking about this, but it's been factual.

When Clay has not been on the court Is that when you don't have another playmaker to make life easy for Steph, that means that the ball has to being steps hands more because he has to be that playmaker.

And when I've seen the ball being steps, hands more, the volume increases.

I typically have seen him get hurt when he's being asked to do a lot more, because Clay has been able to relieve so much of that load.

But they were not Jay, Listen, forgive me off course if guys get hurt, that changes that.

I'm saying if Steph were healthy right now, he's healthy off course.

But if stuff stays healthy with the line of the present, you hold on.
