Haliburton on His Return, Preseason Thoughts, and Most Intriguing Players!

FriedellThe fan base is more pissed off than I can ever remember it being.

FriedellBecause they were so mad that there weren't a lot of moves in the offseason. and they're watching all these other teams improve and the Warriors are sitting there going, eh, you know, we don't want to give up the picks.

FriedellWe don't see that kind of guy that we're trying to describe here being available.

FriedellAnd that's where I think there are going to be big questions as the season keeps going, because I think this is a team that's going to hover somewhere around 500, maybe a few games below most of the year, waiting for Jimmy and whatever happens. But Zach, I cannot stress this enough. Again, at the start of the season, if I were the warriors, I would ride this thing out just like they're trying to do right now.

FriedellBecause if you put all your picks into whether it's Wagner or Anthony Davis, or, you know, throw a fill in the blank.

FriedellI've heard Devin Booker too, just as a name getting tossed out, put Devin Booker on this team, give up all your picks. how much better are you? You're a better team, but you're not closer to some kind of extra bonus title at the end of the Steph run. So I would do exactly what they did in the summer.

FriedellAnd I would just close my ears to every criticism that's out there. And the fan base doesn't want to hear that. They want to see action. They want to see Steph have one more legit run.
