[stopcappin]

Did you take this info to TMZ?

Lmao wow that’s insane , didn’t see this . Word for word what I was told ,.. but I imagine whoever sold the video also gave the info (not the homie)

But naw just share on here and occasionally music **** on Reddit

Jaylen brown back retweeting and sharing anti-vax misinfo.

Is he still with kanyes agency?

 

[dman14]

Dray looking good in that uni. Hope the lakeshow max him out. He deserves it and will be there for bron when he breaks kareems record

 

[dacomeup]

Curious to see how they replace Dray as the defensive engine. Don’t knock them for no wanting to re-up him at the max given age, but Lacob told us that they were printing money and the tax wouldn’t be an issue either.

Repeater luxury tax doing exactly what it was designed for.

Steph, Klay, Dray, Wiggins, Poole is 5 max/near-max salaries. Impossible. All in you’re talking about $500M in player salaries for a single year

This is the last dance with these 5. Im surprised Lacob didnt say **** it & kept GP2 since hes gotta break this up anyway after this year. What’s another $60M in taxes this year in what’ll be the final run?

Will be very interesting to follow.

Poole & Kuminga are obviously the two most important pieces going forward. They’ll determine how far the ceiling is lowered after Meyers breaks up the group.

It just seems crazy to max out draymond

To keep Wiggins and Poole it still seems like it’ll be hell

The writer (Tim Kawakami) has said they won't go above $450M in total salary and taxes. We'll see.

Wiseman moody and JK won’t be on rookie deals forever either. Between that and Wiggins pending deal the writing’s been on the wall

Draymond isn’t as important as Steph, but he allows them to do so much. Steph is goated and top 10 doa but the levy breaks if draymond isn’t guarding 1-5, rebounding, playmaking…they simply are not a serious title contender without him.

Not as high on the young guys that they have as some are, so it’ll be interesting how they fill that draymond void. Losing him for nothing is going to hurttt

Draymond was never gonna get near the max
Hes gonna be let go after the season or traded before the deadline if anyone wants him
We keepin Poole. Wiggs too if he takes a discount

Hawks going all the way this year. I dunno how but I believe. Been too long.

 

[P C H]

Think Steph will be great for quite a few more years so it’ll be interesting to see the next few years for them. They’re investing a lot of resources into the new core moody / Poole / JK / Wiggins which…idk man

And Klay’s aging out too

But this is how dynasties end. Players age out get too expensive leave via FA or trade and the cycle starts all over. Getting a 4th title out of this run was mad, mad impressive.

Maxey looks primed for a 20+ PPG season.

This guy lies with reckless abandon.

 

[datznasty]

I’m not sure you couldnt plug and play JRE, Grant Williams, or any high iq, physical, switchable defensively big in Draymonds place and still win a title. Son just out there doing dribble handoffs and playing football on screens

 

[WASHED KING]

I’m sure the older core tries to treat Poole the same way.

However Poole not rolling with it. Look at Steph the “leader” laughing.

Disgusting

That vision needs to be correct before I jump ship to work lol
