The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

All true, but it also all hinges on Kawhi being healthy, which is never a guarantee. Unless we’re assuming the Canadian air would somehow make his knees more durable.
If we’re talking strictly the bubble season the raptors had the depth to continue to load manage him and there was the huge break in the season to have him ready for the playoffs.
 
IDK if I get GSW wanting the trade exception over a movable young asset on a friendly contract.

Can TPEs be lumped with other assets under the new CBA or is that still a hard no?
Can only be used to absorb players.
 
Not about the bread, he felt disrespected by the warriors organization. He was never coming back.

- benched him for a rookie
- paid Poole before Klay
- paid Dray before Klay

You can say he was injured but that’s not how Klay looks at it. He won 4 rings and felt like he was disrespected

add wiggins to the list as getting paid before klay as well... I dont blame klay though... he was a big factor in those 4 rings
 
Klay being salty is well within his right, but he was paid to rehab and Warriors didn't insult him with their offer

Klay is PJ only can actually shoot so, upgrade there. PJ does everything else better though, which is saying a lot because PJ sucks

But you need to mention the Warriors took care of him by giving him an extension while he was hurt. He made $43 million last season. Dude was in his feelings and not accepting that he wasn't a consistent option as a starter.

Game 6 Klay was a thing for a reason.

Put the Dubs on his byke multiple times during their title runs.

Interesting in seeing how he plays in Dallas where he has to do nothing but shoot.
 


Defense wasn't the problem and hadn't been the problem since the trade deadline last year.

Elite back-end rim protection. PJ proved he can guard. Naji can guard. Maxi when he's healthy can guard. Quentin Grimes isn't perfect but he can ****in guard. Klay's not prime all-defense Klay but he's not a cone.

For all the handwringing over Luka blow-bys (and YES HE ABSOLUTELY NEEDS TO BE BETTER), defense wasn't why they lost the Finals and it's not gonna be why they lose next year, either.
 
I’m a Melton fan
Warriors owe Steph by trading EVERYTHING for Lauri. Kuminga, podz, and all their picks + swaps. Make it happen. Steph cannot be in cooper Flagg sweepstakes at this point in his career.

I did, you can say the warriors paid him to rehab but Klay ultimately still felt disrespected.

In Klay’s eyes, the Warriors took care of everyone else except for him.
