He’s a volume scorer who turns the ball over a lot and is a huge negative on defense. There’s a role for those guys in the league as bench scorers. You just don’t pay them 4/130.

4-6 week time line puts him right there
Doubt he comes back for game 1, but after the ramp us process if the series is extended he should play based on the timeline of a broken hand

Poole for Julius is the obvious answer.
Poole gets to chuck in front of Ice Spice, GS gets some more front court size and an additional playmaker.
Win-Win.

Letting Harden walk for nothing doesn’t seem like smart business
Don’t forget Maxey is eligible for a max extension this summer which they’ll have to pay out. Would kick in the year after next.
This is your core.
Firing Doc isn’t going to do anything. He tried everything. Not his fault your best player is a soft, ballstopping fraud.

Prime example of getting a bag and not giving a damn after. Ayton and Poole 2 sides of the same coin.

As he and everyone else should.
Ja is an attention seeking estupido just like his dad and Lavar Ball?
Where is BBB and Lavar now?

Wait what?
How are we comparing Ja Aka Bishop from Juice to Lamelo or Lamar?
Tee not really trying to launch a Morant brand…
But he might have to after the Ja 1 and Done Nikes!!

I mean what's what postseason awards are for. That's why we have postseason stats and records that are separate from the regular season
Embiid deserved the MVP for what he did over the regular season. It counts. He also failed and froze in the biggest moments and has nothing to show for postseason accolades and also statistically falls off the face of the earth in the playoffs.
If they're worthless to you that's fine. I just think both statements can coexist is all

The Warriors tax bill next year pushes the total payroll to half a billion.
CJ McCollum took away their mid level exception.
I really don’t see a path forward
Who are you replacing Poole with to convince Lacob to keep paying the tax? And if you keep Poole…. why would Lacob pay the tax?

Trust me bro...Ja is an attention seeking kid who has not yet discovered what its like to be a professional. Like father, like son. I see right through him and Tee just like we knew Lavar Ball, his antics, and his BBB brand wasn't gonna amount to nothin in the long run.
If you want to be great as a player and respected amongst your peers and legends of the game, you gotta play the long game and not just be a hype machine
As high flying Morant is, he is a Derek Rose type injury away from ending his promising career

They could replace Ja with a number of athletes on their roster and get the same result. This is more of a future effect than anything affecting the now. This is a delay/cancellation of the Ja 2.

This is why Bob Myers is on the fence about retiring. He wants to let Steph-Klay-Draymond ride into the sunset, but if he wants a real chance at a chip he's going to have to let go of one, maybe two of them not named Steph.The Warriors tax bill next year pushes the total payroll to half a billion.

Maybe some people do, but I don't think people are in this case.
They are a profit-maximizing company. They sign and push signature athletes to make money.
If that person undermines their goals, of course, they will try to create some distance between them and whatever actions that representative of their brand is doing.
Ja needs to chill before Nike sees canceling his line, or even dropping him altogether, as the best business moves for them.
No need to look at Nike as a moral authority to understand why they might want to move on from Ja.

I want to agree but... The kids love Ja Morant. The kids love how "real" Ja Morant is.
There's a fake postering angle to be taken here.
At the end of the day I just want him to learn his lesson and play basketball

I doubt Nike drops him
But I think Nike will make it clear he can't keep moving like this for their business partnership to continue
