Podcast appearances and mentions of JaMychal Green

Andy Liu of the Light Years podcast is back yet again; for a record ninth time, in fact. His task this time? Helping Aaron preview the Golden State Warriors as they attempt to bounce back from a 44-38 campaign in which just six games separated them from 11th-place Utah and they were eliminated by the Lakers in the second round. Andy and Aaron discuss last season's challenges, summer acquisition Chris Paul's fit, Draymond Green's leadership, Andrew Wiggins' value and Klay Thompson's future, among other timely topics.      7:31-8:39: “They tried to downplay it. They tried to make it seem like they would get through it. But that was the punch that ruined the season. It ruined Draymond Green's standing as a leader. Nobody respected him or wanted to listen to him after that. … It wasn't 100% Draymond Green's fault, but any time something happens that's like that, you end up not having the same voice you did if you're Draymond Green. And I don't think he's had the same voice for a while now. … I think it just makes things very, very difficult for him to be that guy for this team. I think it works if you're Steph and Klay. It doesn't work if you're Jordan Poole and Jonathan Kuminga and some of these younger guys who don't necessarily want to hear it from him.”      17:35-17:47: “Steve's Kerr biggest job this season is to find a way to get Chris Paul to buy in on coming off the bench. Because if Steve Kerr can't do that…this team is cooked.”   20:53-21:14: “I think this thing is tenuous. I do. … The first 10 games are gonna tell us a lot about where the Warriors are gonna be the rest of the season.”       23:54-24:14: “That's part of the game that maybe last season they weren't good enough getting Steph the ball because Jordan Poole wasn't passing, Kuminga didn't know how to play, [James] Wiseman didn't know how to play, JaMychal Green didn't know how to play Warriors-style basketball. It's hard. And I think Chris Paul is one of those people that's smart enough in the NBA to just pick up off the bat, easy.”     28:46-29:21: “Look, he's not gonna be the No. 2, but he's such a good player as the No. 3. It's very reminiscent of what Aaron Gordon did in the NBA Finals, where if you're gonna leave him open, he's gonna make you pay. And he's gonna be so good defensively. He does all the glue stuff. Shout-out to the Warriors, 1 for trading for him, taking the risk, and then 2, identifying that he's gonna be able to do all those things. And of course Andrew Wiggins has to be the one that wants to do those things, right? I think of Kuminga as someone, and again different phases of their career, but Jonathan Kuminga could be Andrew Wiggins, pretty easily.”    37:17-39:04: “I think, moving forward with Mike Dunleavy [Jr.] and Kirk Lacob, they're not losing the Xs and Os or the strategic path of where they want to go. I think they're smart enough to do what [former Warriors president and GM] Bob Myers had done the last decade. What I do think that they're losing is the relationships, the kind of mending of relationships that Bob Myers could do, how Bob Myers can calm Draymond down and build a bridge between Draymond Green and Steve Kerr, build a bridge between Steph Curry and the young guys and kinda get people bought in, get [owner] Joe Lacob bought in. … Now, one thing I do think that may happen is that if this Chris Paul thing doesn't work, Bob Myers has never really shown an inclination to make big moves at the trade deadline. I think that changes with Dunleavy and Kirk [Lacob].”   41:34-41:40: “I think Klay will probably, most likely take a little bit less to come back to the Warriors.”   47:22-47:40: “All of these guys are pseudo-contenders, right? There's just a ton of question marks for all of these guys, and I would hesitate to put the Warriors in a tier below the Lakers or a tier below the Suns or a tier below the Miami Heat. It just doesn't make sense to me because everybody has the same questions.” 

Alex goes solo to break down some options for the Knicks at their recently vacated backup power forward spot. Could Rudy Gay give a veteran presence and give valuable minutes at the tail end of his career? Is JaMychal Green basically what the Knicks wanted Obi Toppin to be for the last three years? Would Markieff Morris or Blake Griffin be able to be counted on to stay healthy and productive?Want to talk hoops with us? Join us on Subtext!

The Lakers had success in Game 1 by playing certain matchups that seemed to catch the Warriors off guard - starting Jarred Vanderbilt on Steph Curry, for example. And in Game 3, the Lakers came back with a host of changes. Vanderbilt was switched off of Curry and onto Draymond Green, letting Anthony Davis check (and essentially ignore) JaMychal Green and have more freedom to roam defensively. And, of course, Lonnie Walker IV got the minutes that had been going to Troy Brown Jr., a significant change in the rotation that paid real dividends.So with the Lakers up 2-1 going into tonight's Game 4, how much credit does Ham get for LA's good showing thus far? It's been a fairly controversial season for the first year head coach, and he's certainly under the microscope.Should people expect more changes for Game 4? Is there anything Ham can do to preempt any changes Steve Kerr might throw at him? Or is it a matter of having a plan ready based on what might be coming? Certainly the Lakers won't be approaching tonight's game like they did Game 2 in San Francisco. Not exactly a scheduled loss, but the Lakers didn't keep the pedal down throughout.Monday, they'll be pushing for a win, because they don't want to have to win two of three with two games up north.Meanwhile, does Darvin need to think about how Reaves is being used (how much, as well), or is Walker the adjustment that can help the second year player make it through, when fatigue looks like a real issue?HOSTS: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySEGMENT 1: The Lakers made a ton of adjustments on Saturday.SEGMENT 2: How much credit does Ham get for LA's 2-1 lead?

Warriors even their 2nd round series with the Lakers 1-1 with a 127-100 win over Los Angeles...Tim Roye & Tom Tolbert spoke with JaMychal Green after the big win.

Patrick breaks down the Golden State Warriors' 127-100 smack down of the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 2 of their 2nd Round series at Chase Center. The W's played small and fast and broke this one open in the 3rd quarter. The Lakers as suspected capitulated and subbed out LeBron James and Anthony Davis for Game 3 in LA on Saturday and the W's starters also got some much deserved 4th quarter rest. Have the W's figured out how to beat the Lakers? Does Darvin Ham have any real adjustments beyond hoping LeBron and AD stay healthy? Join the Oakland Warriors Discord server!

Patrick breaks down the Golden State Warriors' 109-103 loss to the new-look Los Angeles Lakers (without LeBron James) at Chase Center. With the Gary Payton II for James Wiseman trade still in limbo, the W's showed some flair but ultimately it was the same movie we've seen over and over again thus far this season. They were unable to close as they were jacking up a ton of 3s, not attacking the basket or getting to the free throw line, and fouling way more than they should. Has this Warriors team lost it's joy?

Patrick discusses the Golden State Warriors' 119-113 win over the shorthanded Dallas Mavericks at Chase Center. Without Luka Doncic and Christian Wood, the Mavs are basically a lottery team, so thankfully the W's walked away with the win. Unfortunately, Stephen Curry got hit in the knee area and limped off the court. X-rays were negative but an MRI is scheduled to see if there's any real structural damage. Suffice it to say, w/ the W's hovering around .500, the W's can't afford to lose Steph for an extended period. They play the OKC Thunder next at home on Monday.

Patrick breaks down the Golden State Warriors' 129- 117 win over the Toronto Raptors at Chase Center. It's their 2nd win in a row. A lot of positives in this one, but the question remains: can the W's FINALLY keep it going as they embark on their next road trip?

Patrick breaks down the Golden State Warriors' 122-120 come-from-behind win over the talky Memphis Grizzlies. In a game in which the W's looked extremely unfocused and Stephen Curry was ejected in the final 2 minutes of the 4th quarter, the squad summoned enough will and grit to put this one away on the final play of the game.

Patrick breaks down the shorthanded Golden State Warriors' 120-114 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. On the 2nd night of a back-to-back after that tough OT Celtics loss, Steve Kerr rested Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, and Draymond Green. But the W's reserves, including a healthy Jonathan Kuminga and JaMychal Green, put on a surprising show and snagged another road game finishing this road trip 3-2. Finally healthy (except for James Wiseman), can the W's start stringing some wins together?

Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) is joined by Brian Kamenetzky (@Locked On Lakers) to discuss LeBron James inking his extension this past week and what that means for the LA Lakers moving forward. What does this say about LeBron's confidence in the organization moving forward? Does this mean a possible Russell Westbrook deal is on the way? With so many star players demanding trades, should an extension still give organizations and fans comfort? Then, Rylan Stiles (@Locked On Thunder) swings by to discuss goals for the OKC Thunder this next season and key additions and moves made this offseason by GM Sam Presti. Is it still all about development in OKC or is it time for the Thunder to start winning some games? What will the minutes distribution look like with so many young players? How huge is the addition of famed shooting coach Chip Engelland to the Thunder staff? Best move of the OKC offseason so far? Lastly, Cyrus Saatsaz (@Locked On Warriors) stops by to discuss the roster losses AND additions for the reigning champion Golden State Warriors, as well as expectations for the young trio of Jonathan Kuminga, Moses Moody, and James Wiseman this next season. Which player NOT returning to the Warriors is the biggest loss of the offseason so far and why? How do the additions of Donte DiVincenzo and JaMychal Green help Golden State? Which of the Warriors young trio will have the biggest role this next season? #Lakers #Thunder #Warriors Subscribe to the Locked On NBA YouTube Channel: Locked On NBA Follow/Subscribe/Listen Anywhere: linktr.ee/LockedOnNBA Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | Offers: lockedonpodcasts.com/offers Built Bar – Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

Game 5 was a clunker for Steph Curry, but nonetheless you can make a very solid argument that Steph has been the difference between the Warriors and a Boston team that has frequently looked deeper and better overall. But Curry's play compared with a much more inconsistent Jayson Tatum for the Celtics is a big reason Golden State has a 3-2 lead. So what does that have to do with the Lakers? Well, they're built on a premise that Davis is in that tiny sliver of players who in the ultra elite, and will consistently outperform that still-excellent class of nomal elite players in the biggest games on the biggest stages. If Davis is more Tatum than Curry, so to speak, that has a massive impact on L.A.'s upside. So that's one big reason Lakers fans are showing some real angst around Davis, which was seen in the comments section of the Locked On Lakers YouTube page following Monday's show. If he's not "that guy," the Lakers don't have many options going forward to find someone who is (because there are still very, very few players out there better than him), or fill out the roster in a way that helps make up the difference. Meanwhile, the Denver Nuggets and Oklahoma City Thunder agreed to a seemingly minor trade that will have OKC absorb JaMychal Green into their available cap space. Maybe minor for them, but not for the Lakers who had at least penciled in the Thunder as a potential trade partner, capable of absorbing into cap space. That gets harder, now. And it's a reminder that moving Westbrook is no easy feat, unless you want to overpay in big ways to do it.
