Bell and McCaw lost badly to a Boston team without Tatum and Brown playing.

Re: Spurs should have drafted McCaw instead of Murray
Maccaca is a scrub. He has a lot of slurpers here due to him wearing a Warrior Jersey. The Warriors could put a jersey on feces and some of these slurpers would be claiming that feces is a baller.

Re: Spurs should have drafted McCaw instead of Murray
The Dubs make McCaw look better than he is. Imagine Murray in garbage time for the Warriors.
He'd look like the second coming of Penny Hardaway.

Re: Spurs should have drafted McCaw instead of Murray
McCaw will be gone in a year anyway. No way they have the money to match the RFA offer sheet he'll get.

For now yes. Spurs can target him in FA next year though, they'll need a Green replacement.

People think these guys are game changers, but they cant push a team in summer league.
Seems legit.

People are knee jerking like a mother about murray's summer league showing.
Has he improved over the last year as much as I expected? Of course not.
Does that mean he's a bust? Of course not. Kid has some elite talent.
He's basically a Ferrari engine and the frame at this point. He has a ways to go down the assembly line so as to add tires, suspension, etc. Before he comes out as a finished product ready to tear the roads up.
I'm not giving up on him. I'm patient like that.

Denial ain't just a river in Egypt. In case you haven't notice Murray completely shit the bed in SL. If he weren't a first round pick and played like this he'd be headed to Bumfuck Siberia. Meanwhile in the last game that GS lost McCaw had 20 points on 6-13. But keep those eyes closed tight.

How McCaw do against Paul?

Very true.
But let me steal a page from apo and predict how that's going to play out so I can come back next summer and pat myself on the back about it.
The harrison Barnes effect will be applicable. The team is so good that any role player capable of playing within the confines of the warriors system is coming out smelling like roses and looking better than they really are. Especially mccaw due to his physical attributes. A young long athletic defender will draw interest.
Don't want to see the spurs throwing big money at this kid.
It's a marquis Daniels situation. Goes undrafted and gets a one year deal and shines and gets paid more than his worth based on the promise he showed during the rookie year.

Who are the game changing warriors second round draft steals playing today?
Oh ...thats right.
Im talking about what is actually happening, not what ifs.
Facts can be tricky sometimes.

Everybody who got knocked out is resting their primary players, giving scrubs a chance to show.

Murray is better than McCaw.

Good. We'll trade you.
McCaw averaged 20 points on 45.6% in 5 games

Re: Spurs should have drafted McCaw instead of Murray
It seems clear then and now the choice the spurs faced between picking one over the other.
They chose the potential over the arguably more nba ready player.
Mccaw defense was good enough to know coming out of college that those skills would translate. He has the size. Motor and athletic ability.
Murray was and still kind of is completely raw. But he is a 6'5 athlete with a lightning quick first step who could potentially be molded into a dynamic point guard.
Definitely worth the gamble at 29 and was the smart play considering the gluttony of shooting guards the team had last year.

The problem is that the SGs were Manu retiring within two years, Green with two years left in his contract, and Simmons in his last year on contract. Maybe Chip said he could fix Murray's shot but like I said before, I went to two late season games, watched Murray in warm-ups and he was clanging almost every mid-range shot. Shooting-wise I see another Rubio. McCaw was on the right time table.

Warriors played Bell and mccae without their two best players and still got beat.
Kyle Anderson and Simmons were able to push a team, but the great draft misses bell and mccaw weren't.
We are talking about facts once again.
Mccaw is a champion tho . Can't take that away from him.
