So this spells out a question I had about drafting TJD:
So how exactly were they able to land Jackson-Davis with the 57th pick?Contracts are not guaranteed for second-rounders. Teams will often use those picks to draft-and-stash an international prospect or, more recently, find someone that they can give a two-way contract.Jackson-Davis was a victim of that newer strategy. He’d later learn that right around the 35th pick, almost every team began calling his agency — led by James Dunleavy, the brother of Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy — indicating a desire to draft Jackson-Davis. But they wanted Jackson-Davis to accept a two-way contract, not a guaranteed roster spot.That’s a team-friendly, restrictive contractual starting point for a rookie. Jackson-Davis wanted a guaranteed deal. So his agency kept nudging him away from inquiring teams unwilling to guarantee a deal. A second-round tumble began. Jackson-Davis, in frustration, tweeted: “Y’all will regret it. I promise you.”

i mean he was already in the second round

The dunleavy connection definitely makes it feel like tampering, at least in spirit, but it's late second round so I guess nobody really cares.

Dubs been playing much better with the young ‘uns getting big minutes, dray dnp- suspended, and wiggins less involved. Will see tomorrow at Denver if the dubs have turned the proverbial corner

He was incredible tonight, basically locked up paolo all 2nd half. He can’t stay with quick guards any more but he can def body up big some big wings

Why does Draymond need to give the team space? It really makes me wonder if he'd been grinding on people's nerves behind the scenes in addition to his on-court stuff.

ergo reading the tea leaves his change in tone reflects a formal institutional shift in the warriors relationship to dray
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 3 January 2024 21:30 (four months ago) link
Yeah that best sums it up, and frankly it's about time. Here's hoping he can return and rebuild sustainable relationships with everyone. If a "humbled" Draymond can't play to his contract though - it's going to be a pretty tense vibe the rest of this season and beyond. Wonder how soon he might be traded

the lack of clarity on this is mind boggling
― infinite wiggles (Spottie), Thursday, 4 January 2024 20:41 (four months ago) link
It's understandable to me that Dray, the Warriors, the NBA and the NBAPA aren't disclosing the exact conditions placed on Dray's return or the type of help Dray is getting to meet those conditions, because they probably involve medical privacy issues.

Thinking about how Steve Kerr couldn’t find a single minute for Jonathan Kuminga in the fourth quarter. But Michael Malone benched MPJ for Peyton Watson in the closing minutes.Two dramatically different approaches. One that makes sense. One that doesn’t. https://t.co/W41R3yBQqq— Kevin O'Connor (@KevinOConnorNBA) January 5, 2024

After sitting the final 18 minutes of Nuggets loss, Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga has lost faith in Steve Kerr and no longer believes that Kerr will allow him to reach his full potential, sources say.Story at @TheAthletic with @anthonyVslater: https://t.co/TIAGABnyS8— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) January 5, 2024

Yeah, Kerr's treatment of JK is indefensible at this point. I'm guessing we don't see either of them back next season at this rate.
