Steph-Klay-Wiggins-Dray-Looney have played 659 possessions together this season. 127.6 offensive rating107.8 defensive rating+19.8 per 100 possessionsStill probably the most feared team in the West if they can get on a run down the stretch.— Shane Young (@YoungNBA) January 26, 2023

they need to make a trade but they wont cause it would involve taking a big write down on young guys who were on the owners personal big board
― lag∞n, Friday, 27 January 2023 00:46 (one year ago) link
yeah they seem poised for a big run at some point. the #1 team I hope the nuggs can avoid in the offs

Lots of questions about the recent injury to Stephen Curry from #DubNation. Here is a quick breakdown of the anatomy and treatment principles in general for an injury pattern we don’t typically hear a lot about. pic.twitter.com/XodnnMT83E— Dr. Nirav Pandya, M.D. (@DrNiravPandya) February 6, 2023

Sucks that Steph is hurt again but Klay following up his best statistical month ever with a 42 pt game on 12/16 from 3 is a good balm.

The Warriors will write a $130 million check to the league for this roster as things currently stand, and they also face a staggering luxury-tax bill next season if they keep the roster together. Even if Draymond Green declines his player option and departs in free agency, this will be an impressively expensive team.
As a result, even small bits of window dressing could save eye-popping amounts of money after accounting for the tax penalty and the Warriors’ repeater status. That, in turn, focuses attention James Wiseman. He’s owed $9.6 million this year and $12.2 million next year, meaning that San Antonio, Detroit, Utah or Indiana could trade for him without sending anything back. Such a transaction would save the Warriors about $51 million in salary and tax this year and an estimated $85 million in salary and tax next year; a total of $131 million in savings to dump a guy who rarely plays.
crazy

it is insane, which way will they go we shall see.
todays the first ive even heard that they are 'taking calls' on wiseman and moody

wonder what teams wld be willing to give up for him hes only got one more year left on his deal making midlevel type money and has been bad so far
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 7 February 2023 18:33 (one year ago) link
a lottery protected first idk its a weird situation hes prob not going to play well enough to demand a big deal so his bird rights arent really worth much

might be a nice reclamation project for the spurs they have a bunch of picks
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 7 February 2023 18:41 (one year ago) link
i dont think he has value but i guess you could make the argument he just hasnt had the opp and its not a good fit but cant imagine many teams want to send value back for him
― four square ups... no punches thrown (Spottie), Tuesday, 7 February 2023 19:06 (one year ago) link
that's a crazy amount of money to pay for someone who is never going to be good on their team, they should just salary dump him. it sucks to whiff on the second overall pick but sometimes it happens. he's the definition of a sunk cost for them
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 7 February 2023 19:07 (one year ago) link
yeah but also they are prideful and dont want to admit it so i doubt they would do it
― four square ups... no punches thrown (Spottie), Tuesday, 7 February 2023 19:08 (one year ago) link
dumping him could have the added benefit of convincing lacob to stop personally drafting players too

So stoked to have gpii back!! I wonder what kind of big boys will be available on the buyout market. Hope the dubs are still in the playoff hunt by that point.
― Chyiv Kyiv (Fetchboy), Thursday, 9 February 2023 22:51 (one year ago) link
they needed defensive help and this will be a big boost. currys injury coinciding with the all star break is huge.
― four square ups... no punches thrown (Spottie), Thursday, 9 February 2023 23:04 (one year ago) link
completely insane that they saved 130 million and brought back a key championship rotation player at the same time, unfair ;_;
― k3vin k., Thursday, 9 February 2023 23:36 (one year ago) link
well 130 was just subtracting wiseman, so it’s offset by whatever payton makes right?
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 9 February 2023 23:45 (one year ago) link
oh good point, probably
― k3vin k., Thursday, 9 February 2023 23:53 (one year ago) link
yes they save many millions but not that much millions
― four square ups... no punches thrown (Spottie), Thursday, 9 February 2023 23:55 (one year ago) link
wiseman makes a million more than payton this year and three million more next so they cant have saved too much

whatever the savings is you multiply it by three or whatever the repeater is. it saves some money but more importantly the money they are paying is for an actual contributor.

The Warriors will save roughly $7 million in luxury tax this year after Thursday's trades -- and $30 million in 2023-2024.

Kind of lifts the veil on a lot of ugly, not just from Portland, though I guess I shouldn't be surprised that players get painkillers during the playoffs.

guessing thats a more powerful one but def a lot or maybe even most players take otc anti inflammatories all the time

Toradol is from the NSAID class like ibuprofen but Toradol is only available by prescription and is considered a stronger pain reliever than ibuprofen.
― that's not my post, Sunday, 12 February 2023 20:45 (one year ago) link
I saw it reported that Payton's agent has denied GPII was given Toradol.
― more difficult than I look (Aimless), Sunday, 12 February 2023 20:53 (one year ago) link
GPs agent is also Dames agent apparently lol so not sure what side he’s playing on
― four square ups... no punches thrown (Spottie), Sunday, 12 February 2023 21:30 (one year ago) link
toradol itself isn't shady (imo) but not reporting GPII was taking it (if he was) to be able to play, that might be shady depending on how much disclosure is typically done with these deals. i guess that's why the player has to pass the physical as a contingency. or are these deals "as is" ?
― that's not my post, Sunday, 12 February 2023 22:16 (one year ago) link
i think that’s the issue—there’s language around trade execution about how you have to disclose things like this. the physical is basically to validate that the player is coming as-described. i think toradol is pretty widely used in the nfl but i’ve never heard of it in an nba context.
― call all destroyer, Sunday, 12 February 2023 22:57 (one year ago) link
there’s nothing particularly special about toradol, as mentioned it’s a more potent cousin of ibuprofen, but if he needs it on a regular basis that might be something a team would want to know

poole ends up on the ground at least 5 times per game he should think about trying some new shoes.

i really love poole. the fanbase is always mad at him and hes prone to boneheadedness and being completely out of control but hes endlessly entertaining. and we dont win the chip last year without him.

man this is the type of game theyve been losing all season. start bad, claw back then take a lead then just fall asleep in the 4th and stop executing / turn it over

So glad to see them somewhat comfortably put a game like that away. Having Wiggins looking like he did last year helps.
