We might not be in the playoffs but I'm still enjoying Nuggs dominating Lakers, Heat tying up Celts without Jimmy Buckets, and McCollum continuing to have no playoff success.
Fuck LeFlop Fuck Jaylen Brown Fuck that ugly ass, shit talking for no good reason McCollum
Edit: oh yeah, fuck Booker too. Haha. I still love KD tho
guy only had 5 pts but its one game and we know how that works. Still great season, one of the best contracts in the league
Let’s shoutout some warrior players from 2013-2019 era. James Michael mcadoo, Ian Clark, mo buckets aka splash cousin
Alright, so the Warriors are gearing up for free agency, and their main mission? Ditching that luxury tax burden. Who could the Dubs possibly snag this offseason?
The Warriors also have a chance to field a roster that is able to compete without staying in the luxury tax. How? Keep your eyes peeled for TJD, Moody, JK, and Podz and that MLE to come into play. The Warriors might just surprise everyone by building a contender without breaking the bank.
Who would you like to have on the team to fill up the void that we still lack a lot of?
In Warriors’ coach Steve Kerr’s exit interview, he mentioned the idea of Thompson coming off the bench next season, allowing his minutes and usage to be lessened. That makes sense in the grand scheme...But is that what Thompson wants? His durability is a point of pride. He has not hinted at a desire for that to diminish. His future role will presumably be part of his free-agent negotiations and ultimate choice.
There’s a sense that Thompson is really taking these extra couple months to assess his future and decide whether he wants to continue with the Warriors, regardless of contract offer. What else is out there from a money, role and lifestyle standpoint? How much of a priority do the Warriors make him in the lead up? What is their final offer and how does it compare?
We’ll see what type of interest Thompson is able to generate. His prime is over, but his gravity, toughness, shooting, defensive competitiveness and brand still combine into a package that could make sense at the right price in the right market with the right surrounding teammates...So much of free agency is already decided prior to July 1. That’s been obvious for years.
Thompson is eligible for an extension currently. He could’ have signed one at any point during the season, but the Warriors — after a preseason offer was declined — never re-engaged with Thompson. If he were to sign with another team, it can’t happen until free agency starts on June 30. But it feels like we’ll have either an inkling or an answer about which direction it is heading prior because, if the Warriors ultimately prioritize Thompson, an extension can be agreed upon before free agency.
If the Warriors use Paul’s contract in a trade that brings back a large salary, it’d be a pre-free agency signal that Thompson could be on the move. Warriors owner Joe Lacob has expressed an expectation that they’ll duck the second apron and even a desire to get under the luxury tax (though there’s no official edict). If Paul’s contract is shed entirely, that generates room for a Thompson contract that still keeps their books manageable.
Dubs season might be over, but the NBA Playoffs continue. Feel free to use this thread ot watch & discuss the playoffs with your fellow Dubs fans (Also gives me an excuse to get rid of the Play-in PGT from the stickied post)
