I am simply regurgutating something that I listened to. I am not the one who made this up.

Would you agree though that the best case scenario for the Warriors would be to lose KD, get nothing in return, be capped out, and only have the ability to add minimum contracts and a mid level exception player?


chatty patty lookin boy.
 
Wasn't Melo a top 5-7 player when the knicks traded their entire core to pair him with amare? Team was in a good rhythm the beginning of that season too. Amare was flourishing. Gallenari stupid face was eating too.


you don't trade your team for a player. Idc who it is.
Nah, he was probably in the 9-15 range.

I just don't see them trading KD. The Warriors are a cocky organization. They think KD will stay cuz of their "culture" and all that.

But if they did they ain't taking back Jaylen and Grizzlies era Mike Miller.
 
I remember when the Celtics were a stone cold lock to get out the East...damn time flies...

I definitely had them as the favorite to get out of the East and as a team that could give GSW trouble. I anticipated that there would be some issues with re-integrating Kyrie and Hayward, but not to the level we’ve seen.

I’m not counting them out yet by any means, but no longer have them as the favorite to win the East. I guess I’d go with Toronto as of right now.

So if KD goes to them and says trade me to a certain team and get something, or I become a FA and leave, they'll be fine with him leaving and getting nothing in return?

I just don't really think I see that, especially if Steve and Klay are taking up like 75% of their cap going forward.

In the Celtics case, I'm not even saying Hayward/Brown is what it would be. Only brought them up because it's the easiest salary matching-wise and the only leverage that GSW would really have is either saying they're cool with a trade, or they get nothing at all.
 
Could've sworn y'all said lonzo was just wholeheartedly outplaying star fox??



Fox is a better player imo. But in that game Zo was better. The way he led them to a 15 pt lead on the road in the 4th quarter with a lot of injuries. Plus Zo shot better

And why. Why must ppl talk like this?

:sick:

So Mccaw turned down two years 5 mil to be a solid rotational player for GSW to sign a two-year non-guaranteed contract to play for the Cavs for an additional 1 mil. Is his agent a family member or something?

Good luck with that.

granted he had plenty of opportunities to show improvement last season and didn't, i can't be mad at him for betting on himself. perhaps having two rings under his belt are enough for him at this stage in his career and he wants to grow out of a bench role.
 
I don't think there's anyone on the Lakers freeze actually likes :lol:. Kinda makes you wonder..

Kuzma. That's my dawg. And Rondo. Nobody else.

I still love my broadcast staff. Well....Stu Lantz, not Bill McDonald.

And I love James Worthy critiques before, during halftime, and after the game.

Also love when Horry country *** and Antwan Jamison are on there.


Nobody else. Throw the roster away.

If he wouldn't do that favor for the organization he "loved" and Russ was his "brother", why would give GS a heads up to help them in the future?

After moving Barnes and Bogut, the Warriors had enough cap space to sign him outright. It was in KD's best interest to just go there via free agency instead of trade. Basically the opposite of what Melo did when he forced the trade to the Knicks and they had to empty the cupboard. I also think KD was in the final year of his contract, and didn't have a player option to opt-into for the 2016/17 season like he does now.

If KD wants to go to a team that is capped out, like Boston, Washington or Miami for example, he could opt-in to this upcoming season contingent upon Golden State trading him to one of those teams. In my opinion, this would be the best case scenario for Golden State, as they'd be able to add pieces that can help Steve and Klay (and Draymond) immediately. It seems as though most in here seem to disagree with this line of thinking though.

It's more about KD holding the cards and dictating where he wants to go than "giving GS a heads up to help them", IMO.
