Golden State Warriors Don't Look Like A Tanking Team, But Will They?

from Locked On Warriors – Daily Podcast On The Golden State Warriors · host Locked On Podcast Network, Charles T Hamilton

Are the Golden State Warriors really closer to “embrace the tank” mode than making a serious playoff push? Charlie Walter and Matt Kolsky break down the aftermath of the loss to the Spurs, discuss what’s next for Steph Curry, and debate if it’s time to think about ping pong balls and the NBA Draft Lottery. Plus: Is Brandin Podziemski more than a role player? What does Kristaps Porziņģis’ future look like in Golden State? And can Draymond Green still turn back the clock against elite teams? We dig into De’Anthony Melton’s impact, tanking strategies in today’s NBA, and the ongoing debate over building for now vs. the future.
