Draymond Green signs a 4 year $100m contract extension with GS. Lol. People who know ball know DG is the heart and soul of GS. F*ck what the fake fans say. Kerr knew he couldn’t let him go.

If Gabe is a replacement for Schroder, I'm all for it. It looks like an upgrade.

Una don turn nursing home.. Even the Lakers did a better job at getting younger last season and have just added G. Vincent. The final years of Curry will be sad.

Hahaha your team is finished. You're stuck with Draymond till he's 37, likely would have to pay Klay too who's declining. Understandable sha as a loyalty thing I can respect it but as far as contention. It's Joever
So what they are trying to tell us is that Steph can't play with anyone in the league but a declining Draymond and Klay? Omo, I no dey stress myself for this life. I have zero expectations of them at this point cos wtf!! Sign a decent Center at least they said Warriors said no but they can agree to pay someone to kiss LeBron's asś all season long while averaging 0.8 technicals per game.

Gave Vincent needs to change agent ASAP

M. Strus a former team mate secured a 4/$63M (15.7M/Year) while Gabe could only secure a 3/$33M (11M/Year). To me, Gabe is a more valuable player on both ends.

I believe it was just about showing loyalty to a guy who was part of the dynasty team, no way the Warriors really think this team as constructed can win any title. You're right in having zero expectations

Draymond even in the 2022 title year was not even Golden State's 4th most important player. But Warriors front office are nostalgia merchants. All Draymond offers now is podcasts, triple singles, ejections and suspensions

This is a team that needed some mix of youth to go through the grind of an 82 game season. I'm wondering what their plan is now with a core pushing 35.

Pelinka is doing a solid job kept Hachimura, got guys like Vincent and Hayes. Even Reddish who I've never understood why he's been such a problem thus far. It's a travesty he is trending towards bust territory as he has huge potential in my eyes

I no wan hear Pelinka slander from the usual suspects on the web cos that man is doing his job

When they were in college there were reports that Reddish had little to no motor. I read an article that stated that while Zion and Reddish were probably the more talented naturally RJ was the one whose intangibles made up somewhat for it.

Your skill and natural ability can get you to the NBA but if you don’t have that drive/motor/competitive edge it might get rough.

Meanwhile ESPN don sack everybody finish.

Lool ESPN are a dying organization, they lost their way when they started dabbling in the woke foolishness. Every other show they're pushing one agenda subtly or in your face. The one that especially irritated me was when they brought one 6'3 mozumba that couldn't compete with men and was swimming with women and dusting them and they were interviewing this joker like he was some hero and pioneer

Actual sports fans quickly tuned them out and their numbers dipped. Same thing that happened to CNN. Someone said they might not exist in a matter of 5-10 years and I will not be shocked. Majority of their personnel either lack authenticity they're essentially paid parrots. Just look at that mascot Perkins and how he just turned a simple basketball matter about race. How can you bring up race when since 1986 only 3 white players have won MVP.

These days I only watch ESPN when they're showing live sports and I'm sure most fans feel this way.

As for Reddish omo. If NBA bag will not push you to have a motor I don't know what will. You don't even have to be a star just appearance of effort you will get a huge bag. Look at guys like Zion, Ja, Bane, Haliburton, Lamelo getting 9 figure salaries while you're bouncing around teams for league minimum, that has to eat at you badly. And for an athlete it's especially important for you to get paid cos your window is so short. I hope he can pick up. I thought he had a much higher upside than Barrett it's a mystery to me that he's not a starter in this league

Take heart and accept my condolences. Overall though, I think you guys did well with the additions of Ime Udoka and FVV but paying D. Brooks and J. Landale is questionable.

It's the small market tax. Role players get paid higher in smaller markets or losing franchises

It's not actually 260mil but 205. The language says it could be up to 260mil. The only way any of them gets 260mil if they earn 1st team all-nba this up coming season

It was a sign and trade, so that plays into it a bit, because the UFA player needs incentives to agree. Also by the time you guys need to pay your young players that contract will be a very tradable contract as a salary filler.

This IMHO will be a bad idea. Nobody knows what Wemby really is at the moment, let him play as the 1st option year then they can learn both his strengths, weaknesses and limitations. Then you can properly build around him. Trading for Dame who is due 60+mil in the backend of that contract will be be an anchor weighing the franchise down.

PS: It will not surprise me if the trade package for Dame is underwhelming, smart GMs have started to account correctly so for future salary compensation when putting together trade packages.
