00:00have five days essentially to sign those guys to an extension. If they don't, then they play out
00:06the year, but the Warriors still have their rights. Then they just become restricted free agents
00:12next year, which means the Warriors would have the ability to match any offer. So if they don't sign
00:18them to an extension this year, then they got to play their last year or their fourth year on this
00:24deal, and then next year they can get to free agency, but it's restricted free. And both those
00:30guys would be coveted by many teams, I believe. Moody and Jonathan Kaminga. Coach said, it's
00:36Coach here again on the Text Line, Comcast Business Text Line. He said, Stony, Kaminga and Moody are
00:43fifth or sixth in regard to tenure on the team. It's time for both of them to play consistently.
00:48Well, Kaminga has, but now we just want a real breakout year from the both of them. You know
00:54what's funny, and I know people don't like to hear this, but you just said if Moody and Kaminga
01:01hit free agency, they'd be coveted. I just made a list of three players. Moody, Pajemski, Kaminga.
01:10You know who's the least coveted of those three? Kaminga. Because of his price tag? Yep.
01:18And the unknown of what he, you know what I mean, Stony? If he's going to pan out in regard to not
01:23just being a player, an all-star. Which would you feel more comfortable, giving Moody four years
01:30and $50 million, or giving Kaminga four years and $200 million? Moody. Exactly, exactly. Gosh, man,
01:38I wish I could read these guys' minds, man. Like Moody, I really feel like he is like, enough,
01:43not blaming anybody. I'm looking around. I should have been playing. I helped you in 2022 against
01:49Dallas. That just went down the drain. Anything that I did to help the team, my point is, Stony,
01:54he's ready. I think he's ready to break out. What that looks like and what that means is obviously
02:01making contributions, but Moses Moody is a better ball player, I believe, than a lot of people give
02:07him credit for. Is he better than Pajemski? Right now, I would say yes. Is he healed?
02:12Is he better than, who else is on this? Those are tough. DeAnthony Melton? Yeah, I guess, yeah.
02:20You know, if DeAnthony Melton is playing and playing well, then he's probably better than
02:26DeAnthony Melton. You know what I'm saying? Melton's a baller. Had he not got hurt, he'd probably-
02:30Little back stiffness last night. Melton? Yeah. Oh boy. But you know what? That's what makes this
02:38That's what makes this so exciting and intriguing. It'll all come out, play out in the wash, right?
02:45But how long is the wash cycle? About 82 games. And that, boy. But listening to you,
02:50you're like, no, Guth, the pit stop is, going NASCAR, is the trading deadline. Well, see, you,
02:58you like to lock me into these absolutes. Maybe you start out 30 and 16 and you don't make a deal.
03:06Man, I would like that. We would. But I do think if you just look at this roster and you see how
03:13many players that you think should get playing time, they're just not going to be, if they're
03:18healthy, somebody, at least one guy, probably two, are going to be, are going to be on the
03:25outside looking in. I got to, I got to read this to you because this is up your alley. From the
03:29209, Sandy, how did Kaminga's price tag come about? Is it the games he's played? It's his,
03:35it's his potential. It's his potential. He's a good young player. And it's where he was drafted
03:42too, right? Yeah. And it's also the, a lot of guys in his class got, got big money. My gosh,
03:47did they get all, they all got paid. If I have to choose between Moody and Buddy Hield, give me the
03:53one that will play more consistent defense. Well, we know who that is. D-Money, Hayward,
04:00what's going on, man? Hey, Sonny, hey, Gu, what's going on? Hey, man. Hey, I think,
04:07I think we're going to win at least 47 to 48 games this year, man, because
04:11we feel, I feel like we could go back to the 22 style of Warriors and that was having a bench mod,
04:18having everybody play around Steph. Wings was at his best when play was coming off the bench.
04:23I mean, we were, we as fans and them as an organization was forced to revert back to
04:27Steph, Clay, and Dre because of the punch. We were already going away from that back in 22,
04:32when Clay was coming off the bench. I know he was hurt and he was working himself back in, but
04:36you could already tell Wings was at his best when Clay was just one of the guys.
04:42It's not a bad point. Not a bad point at all, D-Money. 47, 48? Maybe. Oh, by the way,
04:49phew, Draymond Green's got himself a floater game. I just told my stuff. I was waiting on
04:58that. Did you say that? No, I was going to. I was about to give Dre some love for his floater. I
05:02thought it would aggravate you. See, I don't want to give him credit. See, and that's, if you're
05:06going to give him credit. That's a character flaw you have. No, it's not. It's just, it's you
05:10against the world. That's right. Gosh. And you wear shirts, Union City versus everybody. What's
05:15the difference? Well, that's where I'm from. But listen, tell him to open a bar after 8 p.m.
05:21You really believe he's worked up that flight? Looks like he has. Sure. And let's be honest,
05:26he improved last year's three-point shoot in the first quarter of games. Yeah. God,
05:30you're tough. Let's go to Darrell in Oakland. D. Hey, Darrell, how you doing, buddy?
05:36I'm good. How you guys doing today? Doing well, thank you. You know, I was
05:40I was watching the game last night, and I also watched Wiggins's
05:48I needed to hear that. I call back to you during the commercial callback,
05:53which is hard, huh? What'd you see in his eyes last night? I didn't see a lot. I didn't. Yeah.
06:00No, but Rusty is not about wasn't I'm looking for a mannerisms hunger. You're never like
06:1020, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20. We got it. No, we didn't. What are you? He was the second best.
06:17He was the same emotionally. He just played better.
06:21Well, I think what they go hand in hand, do you realize that? Like, I can't
06:27I wanted to see fire Wiggins that what are you doing?
06:32Kirk Lakoff told us in our face that he stayed in the Bay all offseason. Okay. And there was
06:37a reason to get a fire in his eyes. I wouldn't have that answer, but that was a positive.
06:42Watch what we do is going to hinge on Wiggins not being productive, ultra a dog. Oh, he's not a dog.
06:53You do realize that? Well, he hadn't been. See, this is the thing. Wiggins is like Tim Duncan
06:59in terms of the way he approaches the game. No, Tim was going to give it to you regardless.
07:04But I'm talking about their temperament. Yeah. And you were the kind of guy I'm
07:07starting. I like Duncan, but I want to see him flip a spread.
07:11Well, it's like that's not a dunk. It is. He's just a five time champion.
07:16Yeah, but I never would want to see him flip a spread because he always brought it.
07:21Yeah. Wiggins is he he don't bring it. And then you're like, knock, knock anybody home.
07:26I want to see more urgency. You got all the gifts. So he's not like Tim Duncan.
07:31This is like the this is like the Kramer in Seinfeld when I can't even use the analogy
07:36because it was the I'll tell you what a mom and pop shoe store. All right. All right. And
07:42they've been business for 40 years. That's a long time. And then they lost Kramer's shoes
07:47and everybody else's shoes. And Elaine goes, you mean to tell me that they would
07:53establish trust for 40 years and then one day just change? Yeah. Make a mistake.
08:01That's like you're asking Wiggins to be somebody he's never, ever, ever,
08:10ever been. OK, so you can say, well, seven games in twenty twenty two. And I would say,
08:15yeah, he played really well. No, it was. Yeah. I didn't notice a fire. He made he was making shots
08:20and he was there. It was a whole platform. But Stani, listen to what you're doing. You are acting
08:25like we're the only two having that conversation. Joe Lakeup, Kerr, Stotts, I play Kevin up on that.
08:33Any rational basketball fan would not come into a season saying, I think Wiggins is going to play
08:40with urgency and fire. Well, no, not that I think I hope that's what it's about. He's a key cog to
08:47what you're trying to do. That's all like you're right with. Wake me up when you see it. But darn
08:53Stani, this dude's a big part of what you're trying to do. You can't ask him to be somebody
08:57he's not. He's never played with outward passion. He just hasn't. Daryl's back. Daryl's in Oakland.
09:07Hey, Daryl, how you doing, buddy? A lot of bad patches in Oakland with Wi-Fi. Sorry,
09:12guys. A lot of bad roads, too. What I wanted to say was I watched Wiggins' media day.
09:19And I'll just say this for all warrior fans. I'm pretty confident in this. I watched his media day
09:25and he asked him a question. You're like, hey, Wiggins, how do you feel? And he just scratches
09:28his head. He's like, I don't know. How do you feel? You know, it's just like, what are you doing,
09:31dude? What's going on in your brain, man? And like, you've got to get fired up a little bit
09:36for the season, Wiggins. And he's just scratching his head. He's like, yeah, I don't know. I'm kind
09:39of fired up, I guess. What are you talking about? Anyway, switching back to Moody. That's who I
09:45want. Please give me Moses Moody as the starter. He's been here for so long. He's been defense
09:51and offense. And he's 22 now. He's not even, remember, he came into the league at 18. He's
09:56like 22 years old now. Give the guy a chance. That's true. Yeah, I'm with you. I'm with you.
10:01Good stuff. Can't do it. Good stuff, Daryl. Where is everybody with Wiggins?
10:07On the hope train. I would love to have someone who loves me like you love Andrew Wiggins.
10:18It's the Warriors too. Why you just put it on me? They love him. He's still on the team.
10:23That's because they can't move him. So what do you do? You need production. And the worst part,
10:30it's not even the worst, man. I really think, I hope things are behind him. From a skill set
10:36standpoint, the dude can ball, man. That's all. I'll leave it there. The dude can do it, man.
10:42It's just, man. I think hopefully everything is good on the home front and he balls out.
10:49But if you think they're going to have a good year and he's just going to be ho-hum, nope.
10:53He's a big component. Well, see, that's the problem because I don't think he and Kaminga
11:01can both be a big component. Wow. I hope you're so wrong, man. I don't think they can both have
11:09great years. That's how you miss the playoffs. That's how you miss the playoffs. And then the
11:12whole dynamite thing of Draymond, is he going to get suspended? Just think about what they're hoping
11:18does not go wrong. But I'm with you, Stony. I know we fight, man. Moses Moody is a better
11:25basketball player than a lot of people think. And I think right now he has an opportunity to show,
11:31I should have been playing.
