5:01 remember Wiggs was strongly urged by GSW not to play for Team Canada -- it's likely Dunleavy shopped him around during that time and found that they weren't gonna get any value back from his contract (i.e., no first-round pick for Utah, or certainly not more than one, if any)

10:37 Resource No. 3 for high-IQ fans: hhttps://www.spotrac.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/yearlytells you specific contract details and dates, which is particularly important for non-guaranteed deals because such contracts have certain important deadlines (e.g., Looney or Chris Paul, or Gui Santos)

Therefore, do not expect JK to get an extension until the end of the season: hhttps://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5701710/2024/09/12/jonathan-kuminga-warriors-extension-talks/15:36 me on the Caitlin Game 1 stream first saying that Wiggs needs to be a starter: • Caitlin Clark watch party for #Warrio... (Sunday, Sept 22nd) + commenter Shivansh saying, "Wiggs at the 2 gives him a matchup advantage and he shot the league average from three and I don't think he'll be cold this year..."
16:03 Yahoo has Wiggs ranked No. 22 in their rankings of the NBA's No. 2 guys (I don't want to link them lol because CRAP = comparisons, rankings, awards, predictions)
16:49 NBA guys in the locker room ALWAYS avoid CRAP, so let's embody that here at LGW!
