What a game!! So many wild twists and turns. Klay with 54 and Loon with 20 boards and the buzzer beating game winner.

didn't watch the game bc fuck staying up til 1am for this hawks team, but did i really see Nate pulled Okongwu on the last play where they gave up multiple offensive rebounds?
― Heez, Tuesday, 3 January 2023 15:24 (one year ago) link
that worked out for both teams, they brought loon in for defense and okongwu out for offense but neither team had timeouts left so normally looney wouldnt have been in the last possession to get that tip in ftw

an insane game really https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArLTfKlyCkk
he also left trae out on defense on white donte’s game tying three and trae just stood around watching the play kinda waiting to see how everything played out, bringing a touch of curiosity to the court

poole made probably close to 15 boneheaded decisions last night. one of the worst games ive seen him play and yet he hit one of the biggest shots of the game and had some beautiful drives. but he really needs to learn to calm down in clutch situations.

we need some clarity on the dray situation both sides are talking like hes gone after this season management hasnt extended him hes been openly angling for a deal with the lakers but is any of it real is this just negotiation what the story
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 17 January 2023 18:25 (one year ago) link
no idea how this plays out but im leaning he stays with the warriors. but a lot comes down to how this season plays out? hes made himself indispensable, the defense is hanging by a thread every night and he is that thread. also finding his offense more this season. i think hes playing games but could also see him bouncing as well. i think if he leaves cos the dubs lowball him then that would be the beginning of the end, curry would not be good with that.

i think we'll learn a lot about the direction of this franchise over the next few weeks up to the trade deadline. if they stay put i think this is the last ride. if they make a move and trade one or two of the young guys and picks then theyre locked in for 3-4 more years imo.
― four square ups... no punches thrown (Spottie), Tuesday, 17 January 2023 18:32 (one year ago) link
there would need to be a big contract for him somewhere else and does that even exist thinking probably not
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 17 January 2023 18:33 (one year ago) link
I'm thinking dray is gone before the next season starts. he has his 4 rings and now he's hungry for that other kind of nba player prestige: the biggest contract he can command.
― more difficult than I look (Aimless), Tuesday, 17 January 2023 18:46 (one year ago) link
hes taken less than he could have gotten on every deal so far. im not sure money is the ultimate motivator for him, he's more of i demand respect type of guy i think.
― four square ups... no punches thrown (Spottie), Tuesday, 17 January 2023 18:54 (one year ago) link
i thought dray wanted to play with lebron and where is lebron exactly?
― POLIZISTEN VERSINKEN IM SCHLAMM (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 17 January 2023 19:01 (one year ago) link
dray always hated bron until this contract situation came up
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 17 January 2023 19:03 (one year ago) link
He signed w klutch and that was that. I’m not so sure he wants to go to LA… his best position is lebrons position and Brows position and they need shooting. Rumors he’s been recruiting bron to GSW tho…
― four square ups... no punches thrown (Spottie), Tuesday, 17 January 2023 19:18 (one year ago) link
he's more of i demand respect type of guy i think
I agree, but he's maxxed out on the respect that comes with NBA rings, olympic gold medals, all-star game appearances, and the all-nba defensive team. now he feels the the dubs front office disrespected him by not giving him a big guaranteed contract extension. I'm thinking the FO that gives him that big FA contract can lure him away, not so bcz of the money, but bcz of the respect it implies.
― more difficult than I look (Aimless), Tuesday, 17 January 2023 19:41 (one year ago) link
they havent disrespected him! he's up for free agency after this year if he opts out.
― four square ups... no punches thrown (Spottie), Tuesday, 17 January 2023 19:46 (one year ago) link
have they gone on his podcast tho
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 17 January 2023 19:48 (one year ago) link
i agree & i think he takes the best offer. it's entirely possible the warriors end up valuing him more than any other team
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 17 January 2023 20:10 (one year ago) link
they can offer him more too, as long as they dont mind paying another $100m or whatever in lux tax
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 17 January 2023 20:14 (one year ago) link
i'm not fully aware of who has cap space this offseason but i could def see a team like the pistons putting a major offer on the table for him thinking that he could legitimize their defense, locker room etc. and i could see him taking a deal like that even if it takes further rings off the table. hard to picture any contending team blowing a bunch of cap space on him... most contending teams don't even have cap space
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 17 January 2023 20:16 (one year ago) link
lakers could offer him a lot of money as long as they dont mind having a roster of mostly minimum players which if i were them i would mind
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 17 January 2023 20:17 (one year ago) link
isn’t that kind of their thing though
― Clay, Tuesday, 17 January 2023 20:19 (one year ago) link
looking at sportrac cap space estimates for next year and the top teams are...
1. San Antonio Spurs 2. Houston Rockets 3. Indiana Pacers 4. Orlando Magic5. Detroit Pistons 6. Charlotte Hornets 7. Oklahoma City Thunder 8. Los Angeles Lakers 9. Utah Jazz 10. Sacramento Kings
feels like the warriors will have a lot of leverage if his options are re-signing or going to one of the worst teams in the NBA. the lakers are the only team that is a glamour market or has the facade of contention but also has cap space and enough desperation to look at draymond as a big money solution. so that speculation makes a lot of sense even beyond the klutch stuff
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 17 January 2023 20:23 (one year ago) link
lakers are in a bird rights trap with so many contacts coming off the books this year, theyre spending ~170m this year but if they let all their expiring contracts go then then theyll be down to basically just bron and brow at ~90m and will be able to spend another ~40m to get to the estimated 2023 cap of ~130m + another ~10m for a mid level guy and thats ~30m less than this year, of course theyre not going to just let everyone walk but it is kind of a fucked up situation nevertheless, and of course russ represents almost 50m of those expiring salaries but does not deliver 50m worth of value but he does have some value

and the bad teams mostly being in the process of rebuilding prob dont even want him, cld see sacto making him an offer tho you never know what the kings are going to get up to, and theres always the chance of a capped out team engineering some cap space or a sign and trade
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 17 January 2023 20:30 (one year ago) link
all things being equal i would like to see him on a lakers team comprised bron brow and a bunch of scrubs thats the best thing for the league
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 17 January 2023 20:33 (one year ago) link
i feel like the pistons are the only other team to watch bcuz of the hometown (ish) aspect & they seem to want to be competitive i.e. trading for bojan. but they also traded a first in order to take jalen duren in the lottery & we’ve already seen what happens when you try and develop a young center on draymond’s team so idk
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 17 January 2023 20:40 (one year ago) link
i think 'the punch' plus the fact he's openly said he doesnt try if there's nothing on the line means he wont be hunted by young teams in need of vet leadership. i think that hurts his chances of going to a contender even, not knowing what dray you're gonna get: could completely blow your team up from the inside or could raise your ceiling to champ status.... is it worth the risk?
to me it comes down to these chances
60% warriors20% lakers15% another contender via sign n trade5% picks up his option and plays out one more year in GS and kicks it down the road one more year when more teams have money (presumably?)
― four square ups... no punches thrown (Spottie), Tuesday, 17 January 2023 21:13 (one year ago) link
given the second career he's already begun, i can't imagine he's gonna want to go to detroit or san antonio to close out his playing days instead of just being on television every night
― POLIZISTEN VERSINKEN IM SCHLAMM (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 17 January 2023 21:20 (one year ago) link
