    That was never a very good dream. Even finishing with the worst record in the league wouldn't guarantee us of getting him.

    The basketball Gods might have shown pity on us though. They fucked us with Roy, oden, bowie etc. Might have been time to bless us

    I think we're on the right path..the cream of this roster is rising to the top..we're not that far away from being really good. As young as this roster is, I expect to win more games in the second half of the season than the first half.

    I don't watch college basketball and I've only seen one video of Ben Simmons. Is he really a "sure thing"? Like, is he fully expected to be the next LeBron or something? I don't get why everyone seems so ridiculously high on him when top prospects end up being busts all the time.

    I'd bet serious money we could tank like crazy and the Lakers would still get Simmons after the Kobe retirement circus...

    Neither do I. And I can guarantee he's not LeBron. LeBron was an ESPN marquee advertisement as a high school player when then aired the McDonalds All American game. I remember rushing home after work to see him play for the first time. Comparing the two is incorrect

    Not to say Simmons isn't good. He's just not LeBron. Come on...

    Only problem Simmons has right now he is not a very good shooter from 15ft and more but the rest of his game is there and yes he is the number 1 pick.

    The basketball Gods are apparently Warrior fans

    Of course in the present NBA, being able to shoot the deep ball is THE most important ability it would seem.

    And you didn't hear it from me, but I wouldn't be surprised if we went 1-6 in our next 7 games. Not an easy run coming up.
