Cyrus Sautz is on threads at Dogwild ORG. The program is also on that platform at Locked on Warriors. Again, I try to address the chat as much as possible, especially during the off season. And I want to start off with Paul Noread PERSON. Welcome to the program. Great to see you.Paul writes, it's time to let Wiggins PERSON go and get a big man and let's go. Yeah, I'm with you. We're going to talk about Wiggins today. And we're going to talk about who led the Golden State Warriors ORG in net rating. An interesting statistic that 10 years ago, I don't remember a lot of people bringing that stat up. It's exploded in popularity as a talking point. It represents reality to a certain extent. When you have a small sample size with net rating, borderline subjective, not borderline,it is, it's subjective, it may or may not represent reality. But when you're talking about five-man lineups, now you're getting objective because the net rating represents the team that's actually on the floor. I also, one of the debt rating stats that does entertain me, and I think does tell a picture to a certain extent, is duo.So for today's show, I'm going to recap the year that was for the Golden State Warriors ORG in terms of who led the team and who did worse for the team in net rating in three categories, five-man lineups, duos, and individuals. Because again, while net rating is a very subjective stat, over the course of a year of an entire season, you do start to get a pretty accurate picture.Paul, by the way, who I read his comment just a moment ago, adding, you're moving to Arizona GPE. Ooh, good luck with a heap, bud. But you're getting season tickets to the Golden State Warriors ORG. Are you trying to say you're getting season tickets to the Sons ORG? And they're going to watch those two Warriors ORG games a year when they're there in addition to all the other teams.Because what you wrote doesn't make sense. Rico Suave writes, Jared Allen for Wiggins PERSON. Here's a thing with that. We had a big Clifford Ray, former Warrior Center, part of the 75 championship team. He's got a children's book out right now, recommend it. He's also working with the Cleveland Cavaliers ORG.Jared Allen was very briefly mentioned as a potential target for teams as the trade deadline approached. And the Cavaliers ORG quickly shut that down. Clifford Ray PERSON was on this program confirming he is not available, but times change. Things change. And even though the Cavaliers right now are looking good, they're up to one in the magic in that series, at a certain point, that team is going to have to reckon with reality, which is this.A front court of Jared Allen PERSON and Evan Mobley probably not going to work. You've got a log jam there, just like the Warriors ORG have a log jam at the wing position. We'll talk about that in just a moment. And the point of that, brief thing I just said is if the Cavaliers ORG lose in the playoffs, whether it's to the magic or to the next round, if they make the Western Conference Finals EVENT, I don't think they're breaking up that team. But if they're eliminated, especially this round by Orlando GPE, maybe nextround, that team might want to talk about breaking things up. Jared Allen PERSON would be a phenomenal piece for the Golden State Warriors ORG. Now, granted, the Warriors have suddenly seen one of their own pieces, Trace Jackson Davis PERSON, emerge, and maybe that's a redundancy in and of itself. Or you could propose a trade to the Cavaliers in that comment. Andrew Wiggins PERSON was mentioned. You're going to have to throw in a lot more than Wiggins PERSON, who has virtually no trade value,but you add Trace Jackson Davis PERSON, and you add some other prizes in the mix. Maybe that's a reality. But personally speaking, while I love Jared Allen PERSON, if you want to be a title contender next year, you've got to get a much bigger name than that.You've got to get a Janus PERSON type, a Joel M. B. type and Anthony Davis type. And if you're not a world championship contender next year, what the hell is the point of keeping Clay, Chris Paul, and Andrew Wiggins PERSON on the same team together? We'll talk about that in just a little bit. But for now, let's talk about who let this team and who did not, who struggled on this team in terms of net rating.I want to start off with duos. Which two individual lineups, which two individuals representing a small part of a five-man lineup were the best and worst for this team. For much of the year, the duo that led the Warriors ORG in that rating was Brandon Pajemski and Trace Jackson Davis PERSON. It was a bizarre stat.And that number came back down to reality because, again, you need to look at this over the whole 82 game season. Brandon Pajamsky PERSON, by the way, I'll skip ahead and tell you this now. In terms of individuals led the Warriors ORG as a rookie in that rating, which is crazy. Plus 264. Now, as duos go, the number one duo for the Golden State Warriors ORG in terms of net rating.And I'm going to post all this on my Threads account to after the show in case you want to actually see a visual to go along with this. Number one duo, Jonathan Kaminga, Brandon Pajemski PERSON. They played 163 minutes together. They were a plus 170 as a duo this season. Meaning over the course of the year, those two, when they were on the court together, outscored the opponent by 170 points.That's the future of your team, ladies and gentlemen, and that is why when you bring up Kaminga PERSON and trade talks, unless it's for a megastar coming back, throw that crap away. It's a garbage idea. Kaminga PERSON's going to be a hell of a player. He'd be, I think even much further along than he is now if he had a coach who believed in him who actually knew how to develop talent.I digress. But him and Pajemski, both 21 years of age, they're separated by three months. They represent a very bright future for the Golden State Warriors ORG. They lead the Warriors in net rating with a plus 170. Number two among duos, Stefan Curry and Dreymond Green PERSON. That shouldn't surprise you, right? Those two, they're the staple of the dynasty. They're the core of it all. They're going to have statues built for them. The Draymont PERSON part's going to be interesting.I wonder how that's going to look. But Stefan Dre played 1,288 minutes together this year and were a plus 164. No surprise there. That's one of the greatest duos in NBA history. Number three duo in in terms of net rating, Stefan Curry and Jonathan Kaminga PERSON. Another awesome duo. They played 1,142 minutes together. They were a plus 146. Fourth, Draymond Green and Jonathan Kaminga PERSON. Played 699 minutes together.Dremond, whereas Steve Kerr takes no shame and publicly criticizing Kaminga PERSON, Draymond Green PERSON, on the other hand, the complete opposite, does nothing but praise this kid. Talks about how in the 2021 draft he pushed for the Warriors ORG to take him when they realized he was available. Talks about how Kaming PERSON is the present and the future of this team. Those two as a duo plus 137 and tied at plus 137 for the fifth best duo on the Warriors in terms of net rating, Moses Moody and Brandon Pajamsky PERSON.They played 546 minutes together this season. They were also a plus 137. Do you see a theme here, folks? If you don't, I'll tell you what that theme is. In four of the, I'm sorry, in three of the five top rated duos for the Warriors ORG, Jonathan Camiga's PERSON name is in there.For two of the five top duos, Brandon Pajemski and Stefan Curry are in there. For two of the top five duos, Draymond Green PERSON is in there. Those are your best players. Now, when we come back, I'm going to tell you who the worst duels. in there. Those are your best players. Now, when we come back, I'm going to tell you who the worst duos were. And I'm also going to give you all the five-man lineups.And then I'm going to give you all the individuals. After we give some love to our sponsors. And I'll try to get to the chat as much as possible throughout the show.

So real fast, let me check out the chat here before we, before I reveal who the worst duos on the Golden State Warriors ORG are based on net rating. Nick Fensky PERSON, my brother, he's an actor, folks, and he's going to join this program, I think, next week.We've been messaging back and forth. I want to start bringing some fans on the show, at least for the final segment of each program get your perspective let's just not look at my ugly mug and hear my ridiculous voice let's hear from you so nick you're going to come on the on the show soon i hope um so yeah and nick fenski PERSON writes there seems to be a pattern there with jonathan camminga maybe the kid is him. Agree. Abraham DiLeon PERSON writes, bring brawny and Thanassus. So you're, what you're implying there is you want LeBron PERSON and Yonisand Ticumpo PERSON. That's reaching. There's no chance in hell they're going to be able to pay both of those guys to come. But if LeBron really wants that fifth ring, he would sign the Venn minimum and come to the Warriors ORG and join that party. It's okay to dream. It really is. All right, let's get back to the,and Zach Schmelis PERSON, we'll find out if you're right or not, writes Clay and Wiggins PERSON both on the negative net rating list, both got to go. Well, let's find out if you're accurate or not, right? It's Clay and Wiggins both on the negative net rating list. Both got a go. Well, let's find out if you're, if you're accurate or not. The worst five man duos for the Golden State Warriors. I'll go from in this case, sixth through first. This list has sixbecause one of the six, uh, they only played 49 minutes together, but I thought I throw it, throw it in there anyway, possibly for a good laugh. The sixth worst lineup, no, I'm sorry, let me rephrase that. The sixth worst duo for the Golden State Warriors, Clay Thompson, Dario Sharich PERSON. They played 498 minutes together. They were a minus 50.Fifth, and this duo only played 49 minutes together. Corey Joseph PERSON, remember him. And for all you Steve Kerr PERSON defenders out there, remember him. Remember all those minutes he was getting unnecessarily. Because that's what Steve Kerr PERSON does. It's ridiculous.Where's my sound effects? Where are you? Hey, Steve Kerr PERSON. You know what it is when you play Corey Joseph PERSON? That's ignorant. Yeah, it made no damn sense. You had much better players on your bench, more athletic, bigger, better shooters, yet you played Corey Joseph PERSON. It's ignorant. You're being ignorant. And that is an example of Mike. bigger, better shooters, yet you played Corey Joseph PERSON.

Speaker 21146.7s - 1147.7s

It's ignorant. You're being ignorant.

Speaker 31150.7s - 1428.74s

And that is an example of Mike Dunleavy Jr. Saving Kerr from himself when he traded Corey Joseph PERSON away. I digress. That was the fifth worst duo. The fourth worst duo on the Golden State Warriors ORG in terms of net rating. This was surprising a little bit. They played 630 minutes together. They were a minus 55.And I'm referring to Clay Thompson and Trace Jackson Davis PERSON. Those two were lauded as a duo that had chemistry. It's one of the only players I have ever seen Clay Thompson PERSON liking passing to, efficiently passing to. But they were a minus 55 when they were on the floor together. That one threw me off a little bit.The third worst duo, Andrew Wiggins, Dario Sharich PERSON. They played 475 minutes together. They were a minus 58. The second worst duo this season in terms of net rating, Andrew Wiggins, Kvonne Looney. They played 622 minutes together. They were a minus 82.And I think you know very well who the worst duo on the Golden State Warriors is this year. I don't think there's any surprise. Before I actually announced that, Portola 45, writing Giovante Green, who a former member of the Santa Cruz Warriors, Bulls picked him up and he was bawling at the end of the season. You're absolutely right. But again, the Bulls ORG, I mean, they're not really an example of somebody to brag about.But you're right. Yeah, the Warriors ORG squander that one. And I absolutely agree with Jay, who writes, I think I agree, who writes, only way Camingia PERSON will reach his potential is if Kerr gives them a legit shot and changes the offense where it doesn't revolve around setting screens for Curry PERSON every singleplay. Yeah, I don't, I mean, I remember one game this entire year where a play was called, there was a series of plays were called for Jonathan Kaminga PERSON to score the ball. In other words, a play called for him to be the focus of the offense. You're absolutely right. And then Zach Schmelis PERSON, who wrote before, I'm going to play this again. Clay and Wiggins PERSON both on the negative net rating list, both got a go.Big surprise. The worst duo for the Golden State Warriors ORG, being facetious saying that, because they were not, it's not a surprise at all. Clay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins PERSON. They played 1,046 minutes this year. They were a minus 89. So those are your duos, folks.And when we come back, I'm going to give you the five-man lineups. Which five-man lineups were the best and which were the worst. And that is the most objective way to look at net rating, are those five-man lineups. So I'm going to reveal that when we come back after we give some love to one final sponsor for today's show. It's a very important sponsor, folks, especially when you talk about your livelihood, paying bills, putting a roof over your head, putting food in your mouth. And I'm talking about an incredible resource for not just finding jobs, but for finding applicants.And that's LinkedIn ORG jobs.

You are Locked-on Warriors, your daily Golden State Warriors ORG podcast. Part of the Locked-on Podcast Network, your team every day.

Speaker 31476.68s - 2208.66s

Thank you for making Locked-on Warriors, your first listen every day for the everydayers. I hope you have a great weekend on the docket for next week. Again, Mark Jones of ESPN, Sam Gordon of the San Francisco Chronicle ORG. I've got the episode dedicated to Steve Kerr's PERSON gut. I've got a Jonathan Camingo PERSON bio. That's what's to come. I want to real fast, take a look.I know this show is live today. So if you're watching or listening to the recorded version, this information will be very outdated. But with a minute 40 to go in the third quarter, the Pacers ORG, and how awesome is this part of the NBA ORG season, especially with an NBA that's so deep that the first round of the playoffs has turned into basically eight conference final series.That's at least the impression you'd get in most other years. But if the dream, and it is a dream, I'm not saying there's a likelihood of this, but I am saying there's a possibility of this of Janus Antecumpo going to the Warriors for the simple reason that the Bucks ORG, if this series goes the way we expected, that franchise is toast. It is rebuild time.Janus PERSON will want out of that place because there is no future or present. And the warriors have the best assets to offer for him. And you also have to take into consideration. Janus PERSON will want to go to a place where he actually wants to go. Like his wants will be taken into consideration by the teams. And he likes Steph PERSON. I'm sure he would love the Bay Area LOC. Seems like a perfect fit.So the score, game three, Pacers ORG Bucks, it's right now 8879, the Pacers lead. And if that series continues going the way it's going, come to us, Janus, come, come to the Bay Area. Come join us. Northern California LOC, baby. Bay Area, baby. Steph, baby. All right. Here are all the rest of your, and yes, Nick Fenske PERSON, I did see that the net sign, Jordi Fernandez PERSON. I remember clearly he was your recommendation as a head coaching candidate outthere. No, I give you absolute props for that. All right, here are the five, the five-man lineups. Let's start with the worst five-man lineups. And in this case, I applied a minimum of 30 minutes play together. Factor that into this. The five worst lineups first. We'll start there and then we'll go to the best. Number five. Chris Paul, Dario Sharich, Gary Payton the second,Jonathan Kaminga, Moses Moody PERSON. They played 62 minutes together this year, minus 17. Not horrible, but that was bad. That was fifth worst. Minimum 30 minutes play together. Fourth worst, Stefan Curry, Clay Thompson, Draymond Green, Andrew Wiggins, Kavana Looney PERSON.They played 140 minutes together this season, the third highest total. A year ago, they had the best net rating in the entire NBA. Granted, they didn't play together since December. But that fact is a fact. It's true. Two years ago, that five individual unit won a championship together. But again, aging happens.The mystery of Andrew Wiggins PERSON happens. Yeah, so father time is a bitch. Anyways, those five played 140 minutes together this year. They were a minus 20. Third worst five-man lineup. Chris Paul, Clay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, Trace Jackson Davis, Brandon Pajamsky PERSON.That's a bizarre one. They played 33 minutes together. They were a minus 24. Tide ORG. Stefan Curry, Clay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, Dario Sharich, Kvon Looney PERSON. Do you remember that lineup that Steve Kerr PERSON was, and that lineup, Steve Kerr wasbusting out routinely in November December because he thought Sharich PERSON could space the floor with his three-point shooting while also giving the team size. It worked for like a game. Ultimately, that five-man unit played 58 minutes together. They were a minus 24.The worst five-man lineup, they played 108 minutes together. Stefan Curry, and this one's a little surprising, Stephen Curry, Clay Thompson, Kavana, Luni PERSON, Jonathan Kaminga, Brandon Pajemski PERSON. 108 minutes played together. They were a minus 41. Those are your worst five-man lineups.Your best five-man lineups based on net rating. I actually went of seven deep here. We'll start with seven. Clay Thompson, Kvonne Looney, Jonathan Kaminga, Lester Kignonis PERSON. I want to see more of him next year. That kid can play.And Brandon Pajemski PERSON. They played 31 minutes together this season. Not a lot, but they were a plus 23 when they did play together. The sixth best five-band lineup for the Warriors. Chris Paul, Clay Thompson. Not a lot, but they were a plus 23 when they did play together. The sixth best five band lineup for the Warriors, Chris Paul, Clay Thompson, Dario Sharich PERSON, Jonathan Kaminga, Brandon Pajemski PERSON.They played 43 minutes together. They were a plus 33. The fifth best lineup, Chris Paul, Stefan Curry, Clay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins PERSON, Kvon Looney PERSON. They were a plus 40 this year. That's a bizarre one because that's basically the same five-man lineup that won the title two years ago,except you swap out Draymond Green for Chris Paul PERSON. But that lineup also played together mostly early in the season. Nonetheless, they were fifth. 93 minutes together were a plus 40. The fourth best lineup, Stefan Curry, excuse me, Clay Thompson, Draymond Green, Andrew Wiggins PERSON, Trace Jackson Davis PERSON.They played 69 minutes together. They were a plus 42. Third best lineup, Chris Paul PERSON, Stefan Curry, Clay Thompson, Kvon Looney PERSON, Jonathan Kaminga PERSON. 63 minutes played together.They were a plus 46. The second best lineup for the Warriors this season. Stefan Curry, Clay Thompson, Draymond Green, Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Camingo PERSON. And that's the lineup that I think started a lot of games, too. They played 157 minutes together. They were a plus 55.And the number one lineup this season, in terms of net rating, they played 232 minutes together. Stefan Curry, Draymond Green, Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kaminga, Brandon Pajemski PERSON, 232 minutes played together. They were a plus 59. So some surprises there. Some surprises there.And last but not least, individuals. Individual ratings. This is just a single person and how they fare this season in terms of impacting the team. I mentioned this early in the show and I'll say it again. Brandon Pajemski, a rookie, led the Warriors in net rating this season with a plus 264. Second, Wardell, Stefan Curry, 189.Brandon Pajemski outscored Stefan Curry between one and two for the leaders in net rating by 75 points this year. Remarkable.And Brandon Pajemski PERSON is a warrior. How exciting is that? Number three for net rating, Dremont Green PERSON, plus 171. Fourth, Jonathan Cominga plus 125.Fifth, Chris Paul plus 110. Sixth, Moses Moody, plus 99. Seven, Gary Payton the second, plus 83. Eighth, KavonLuny plus 38. That's a little surprising. Ninth, Trace Jackson-Davis, plus 32.The only surprising thing about that is how low it was. I thought he had a much more of a positive impact for the Warriors ORG. Lester Kenyones is next at plus 17. Guy Santos was plus 16. And this is indicative of how much better the second half of the season was for Clay Thompson PERSON. Clay was routinely at or near the bottom of the net ratings, routinely second worst.I think you can guess who the worst is. I'll reveal that in just a second. But Clay Thompson ended the season in a positive plus seven. But still, it's a positive. So Clay finishes with a plus seven. Corey Joseph was a negative 12 before he got traded.Dario Scharch was a minus 21. And you can guess who is the absolute worst player in the Warriors in terms of net rating this season. Andrew Wiggins with a minus 58. And Adrian Gutierrez, I agree with you that Moses Moody did not get enough minutes this year. And that's where I really hope his role is expanded. Chico writes, a lot of Jonathan Caminga PERSON in those best lineups.Yes. And Chico PERSON also adds, I was led to believe he was bad at basketball. You weren't led to believe that from us from this show. So anyways, very curious to see what happens next season,especially with those young players who prove they belong and who prove they should be playing. Adrian Gutierrez PERSON also adds, Corey Joseph was Kerr's favorite player, sure seemed like that. We saw a hell of a lot of minutes with Corey Joseph PERSON for Mike Dunleavy Jr.Thankfully traded him away for a bag of potato chips. Those are your net rating leaders, folks. Didn't get a chance to talk about the Clay Wiggins Chris Paul PERSON dilemma? Hey, what's up, SB Sports Talk Channel ORG? But I just wanted to add real fast. That is the dilemma for the Warriors this offseason. For the simple reason that right now, I'll show you this graphic again, we only gota minute here, but this is courtesy of Bobby Marks of ESPN ORG. The Warriors right now, this is without Clay Thompson PERSON. This is without Chris Paul PERSON. Because this contract is a team option, they're already $3 million over the cap. That's without Clay's contract. That's without Chris Paul's PERSON contract. Andrew Wiggins is going to make approximately $28 million next year. And that's why I don't see howWiggins PERSON stays. And that's why I think they're going to trade him probably also for a bag of potato chips, in this case being salt and vinegar. But, and that's also why I do feel strongly of those three, you're only going to see one of them with the Warriors next year. Because even if you keep just one, you're going to have to make other trades to get under the cap so you can use the mid-level exception.It's a massive dilemma. And considering how little those three have contributed, I know Chris Paul PERSON has some good numbers, but he's still like six feet tall. It's how much you can do about that? You got to do it. Thank you.Thank you to everyone. We'll be back at this soon. Have a great weekend, everyone. Love you folks. I really do. I'm not here without you. So thank you.
