• Podcast Locked On Warriors · 4 points · 26 h ago
  • Georges Niang played 23 minutes and went 0-for-5 from three with three turnovers. The host thought he was a big problem. at 3:47
  • Host opinion: Kerr's use of Niang 'reeks' of the Anthony Lamb situation, going with the limited known option over a higher-upside unknown. The host listed possible alternatives Graham Ike but said he doesn't know exactly what the answer is. He also mentioned he was previously very critical of how Kerr handled Kaminga. name not confirmed at 4:36
  • Host concession: with so few players available, Niang had to play. The next logical available replacement was Malevy Leons, and the host doesn't think anyone wants him getting those minutes. at 5:27
  • The host left the game feeling more confident the Warriors can put something together over the coming stretch, while acknowledging problems and wanting to see less of Niang. at 9:19

  • Georges Niang missed all of last season with a foot injury. The host says he is working his way back, hedged with "I suppose". at 8:10
  • The host guesses at Kerr's reasoning ("I think he must be saying"): Niang's limitations are easier to live with than Santos's mistakes, because Niang is in the right place. This is not a Kerr quote. The host says Kerr is wrong. at 9:00

• Podcast Locked On Warriors · 2 points · Oct 10
  • Host: waiving Georges Niang or Bassey would not create room. Their partial guarantees would become dead money and save nothing against the apron. at 21:27
