Willie, let it go man. Not sure why this guy keeps trying to blame Sac for his failures.

He has to blame someone - and he'll never realize the truth. He's his own worst enemy. He doesn't live for basketball; it's not in his blood. He doesn't have the hunger, the passion, the drive. He's got tons of talent, but he's living proof that talent alone cannot take you to the top in the NBA.

So glad for him he’s finally fulfilling his immense untapped potential with the Warriors this season... oh wait?

Dan Feldman again. He did that "Bogdan not happy with bench bait" and many others. Here is another quote by Willie from the same article that was the source for the above Dan Feldman article but never made it into that one:

"I'll always have a place for Sacramento in my heart," Cauley-Stein said. "Like I said, it's never, it was never bad blood. It was just like a business decision on their side. So, I had to make one on my side."

The 6 steals were nice last night, not sure what to make of it when the opponent is coasting. He had 6 and 4 at the half and I thought he would put together a double double but he only got one rebound the entire 2nd half. Which is pretty indicative of the main complaint that he just doesn't care on D. Not gonna knock the steals but I want blocked shots and rebounds from my big man and if Willie put forth half the effort that Holmes does he'd be an all NBA defender.

Also, first game against former team, typically a guy in his position who has been vocal about being unappreciated shows what he can do. Maybe he'll have a statement game in Sacramento, or maybe he'll just do it 5-6 games down the road. Why do today what can be put off until tomorrow?

I've never seen it as the effort issue. to me he always tried, he was just not able to fulfill everyone's expectations.

You see, that really pisses me off. Why isolate a small piece from a larger answer to drive an agenda? For a few more clicks?! I’m going to delete my previous post for fear of driving any more traffic to that hack.

Because there were numerous responses, I edited those who quoted your initial post and deleted the link.

I actually think WCS problems are a lack of confidence (don't let his talk trick you, judge him by the actions) when he's out on the floor he's like the Jeff Green of Big Men both appear as if they don't play hard but imo both suffer from a lack of confidence which limits the effort you can put out and fatigues you way faster than normal, I often think this is way overlooked with most guys who get the tag that' they don't play hard (in some cases yeah they don't). But to me both Jeff/Willie are in the confident lacking aspect. Derrick Williams/Mclemore are two other guys that come to mind with the same thing (Ben seems to have overcome it somewhat now).

Apparently Omari Spellman has unseated him as the starting center.

He’s lost his starting position on a team with 9 wins.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Sucks that the Warriors aren't willing to let Willie be Willie. I'm sure some team is ready for the next superstar, but who?

1 point / 3 rebound effort in his new bench role.

 

[Kingz19]

Gonna get that bag

1 point / 3 rebound effort in his new bench role.

He's obviously still suffering the after-effects of being underappreciated in Sacramento.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

1 point / 3 rebound effort in his new bench role.

So does that help or hurt his per 36?

I don't want to just pile on the guy. But I guess Charlotte breathing a heavy sigh of relief they didn't sign him to a 9mil per deal.

Who do you think its doing worse this year, Kings or WCS?

Amazingly WCS

he is averaging 8 pts, 6 rebounds in limited time. These are Richaun's career numbers (in limited time)

*got benched for Omari Spellman. That’s probably not a good thing

the season is young

EDIT: the season is actually middle aged, but there is still some time for Willie to beat out Omari

You're beginning to approach the outer limits of troll city where WCS is concerned...

Maybe the Warriors should have kept Chriss instead

I saw that on another board but don't remember which one.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Says more about Chriss than it does Willie.

Im just asking a question

We could pick him up with all our bigs being injured or asking for a trade

He's a G-Leaguer. I'd be fine taking the flyer since we have nothing to lose and he's a hometown kid but it's basically just doing someone a solid and hoping for the best.

I'll take Spellman any day over WCS.

 

[Krunker]

Spellman has been on fire this month, dunks, 3's, blocks, shooting 62%, I'd bench WCS for that too.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Game is tied now but he stuffed Dame who has over 50 with under a minute a go to hold the lead. Blazers should not be in a close game with GSW at home.

...and now a big alley oop dunk to put them up 6 in OT
