Kerr Drops off Social Media After Talk With Wiseman

NBA Twitter is something of a spectacle to watch. With uninformed hot takes flying left and right, it’s hard to weed out any good information, and while the platform is often used to incur social change that people need in this day and age, it can also be an incredibly malicious mouthpiece for detractors of a specific person or player. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr and second-year player James Wiseman know this better than most, as a quick look around the Twittersphere can display that everyone seems to have an opinion on how Kerr should be coaching, and how Wiseman should be playing.

Myers Conveys Golden State Unlikely to Use TPMLE

Bob Myers was recently live on the 95.7 The Game airways talking among other things, Golden State Basketball. One of the more noteworthy things Myers mentioned in his chat on the Damon, Ratto & Kolsky show was that he did not expect the Warriors to use the tax payer mid-level exception anymore.

"I don't think we use it, I think we tried, we put it out there for some players we thought were difference makers".

Green Supports Mannion's "Chess Move" to Italy on Social Media 

Born in Siena, Italy, Nico Mannion decided to return home Tuesday following a year in the NBA, agreeing to a multi-season deal with Virtus Bologna of the Serie A Basketball League.

And his now-former teammate Draymond Green was cheerleading the guard’s decision to leave the Warriors, highlighting the benefits for Mannion’s career and rejecting critics saying the one-time Arizona backcourt player made the wrong choice.

Who Will Be the Warriors' Starting Center Next Season?

This is how it’s going to go down. Most likely, Wiseman will be ready to go for training camp in September as he recovers from his meniscus injury in his right knee. Although the Warriors organization has mentioned publicly that they will take their time with the young center’s return, not rushing him into anything, my educated guess is that he will be cleared for action in time for training camp. That is extremely important as he needs to get on the court with Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green as soon as possible. That time spent with the Golden State core will be vital for his basketball development heading into his second year. He can’t miss those opportunities to get on the floor and get better. The caveat here is obviously that this is all pending his health.

Nico Mannion Departs Warriors for Italy

The Nico Mannion era in Golden State is being put on hold. Whether this is a permanent end or simply a pause remains to be seen.

Mannion, who was going to be on a two-way contract with the Warriors for this upcoming season, chose instead to sign with Virtus Bologna of the Serie A Basketball League in Italy. To fill his two-way slot, the Warriors have agreed to a deal with point guard Chris Chiozza. That move was reported prior to the announcement of Mannion’s departure.
