Lakers are being sold for a cool $10 billion. Could the Warriors be next?

Nah there are just some creampuffs here who get really upset when you mildly criticize their city. All I said was it's not a top free agent destination like the Knicks or Lakers and these losers lost their **** and got in their feelings lol.

If they put this energy to cleaning up all the **** and piss on the sidewalks maybe we'd attract better talent.

The cognitive dissonance would be amazing if it didn't come from a moron that thought lauri markannen was Shaq with a 3pt jumper. Go eat some gum and miss a trash can.

Lmao clown so in his feelings doesn't even let me finish editing my post before responding

Rent free you've been crying and following me around ever since I made you look like a moron in that other thread.... such a baby

Crying and following you around? You mean calling you out for the POS that you are? I can't think of a poster that has such a high opinion of himself while being reviled by a diverse group of posters on a board he pollutes with his so called "thoughts."

Go fellate lauri some more. In between deepthroating Singapore's fascist government.

Nah I deleted them cuz I was being a dick and apologized to him over dm. Same to you blue. Toxic flaming internet strangers just makes this board less fun for everyone else so rather just kill the negativity and talk ball.

Spare us your apologies, Jester. I say this in all seriousness - Get psychological help. You routinely make it abundantly clear here that you have unresolved issues. As the saying goes - Hurt people hurt other people. In place of the apologies, we'd all rather see you - at some point in the future - say that you've turned some corner and are on the path to being a better person. It's not going to happen overnight though. So, I'll wish you good luck with that.

lol the ****? Alright man, I was trying to bury the hatchet but I’m just gonna ignore. You routinely stalk peoples profiles you friggin weirdo … Michael Scott levels of self awareness

On to the foe list to spare the rest of this board

I doubt it. He's just brought the Valkyries to the Bay Area which has been doing really well. He just built a new stadium. He's said multiple times that he wants to win a championship without Steph and that's going to be his main driving force to keep the team.

It'll be interesting what happens to Chase after Steph retires. The Dubs' entire valuation basically hangs on him.

The Bay area isn't an amazing free agent destination, and we no longer have the Oracle crowd that'll keep seats filled. It won't be a dumpster fire like it was, but I don't see how GSW will continue to command the value it does today.

There's no way this org without Steph is in the same tier as Lakers, Knicks, even Bulls imo

Curry is big part of it, but you seem to forget that the CULTURE has changed for the better (aside from the other attractive things in playing in the Bay Area). The Warriors are are destination franchise because players know the expectations of the franchise. As long as Lacob is owner, I expect good things to happen. It happens from the top down. Look at the Wizards, look at the Warriors before Lacob, etc. Competitive players want to play for teams that are serious about winning, and Lacob always is, which is why I respect him a ton.

We have Lacob, Kerr, etc. Maybe Draymond and Curry will stick around with the franchise in the FO after they retire to keep that culture going.

As Iguodala said about the valuation of the franchise it is mostly down to Steph though who was drafted under the previous regime.

I applaud Lacob for being prepared to fork out, the 4th title doesn’t happen without that, and for paying Butler to give Steph some late career support. I applaud numerous moves early on, even if guided by Jerry West he had the good judgement to get West on board.

Not much in the way of Light Years Ahead recently whoever is to blame though, little to show for draft picks etc, Poole a pick who did develop into a 6th man who contributed to a title gone a year later, and I have no idea what the plan has been if any with Kuminga.

We're all entitled to our reaction and, Blue, you certainly have more history with Jester than I do. That said, I, for one, am glad he apologized and is trying to kill the negativity. I've been pretty sure he's been actively trolling me and am upset with myself for falling for it; hook, line, and sinker. I was going to delete my own reply last night as I wasn't particularly proud of the sex acts I was recommending he do on an innocent finn and a type of government. I decided to keep it up as a reminder to myself to moderate my own responses better.

So, in short, Jester, apology accepted. I hope we can all move on and be better posters and communicators for it. I appreciate your gesture and hope it will be a permanent change.

Jester quite literally cannot control himself. Going forward, watch the words he uses - if not with you, then with others. I've already seen him cycle through this behavior multiple times on this board. Bullying, name calling, belittling, finally crossing the line and saying something so egregious that multiple other posters turn on him. Then, he'll briefly disappear, reappear and try to snuggle up to the very same posters he previously harassed. And then, eventually, the whole cycle starts over again. That's why I say he can't change without professional help.

Sure, but it's a message board, so, you know, it's not really that serious. The mods do a good job of allowing most anything without the things that reallllly cross a line popping up. It's a pretty decent reflection of this board, and realgm overall, that this has never devolved into 4chan level stuff. Even at the height of the klayzyness the last few seasons. I do fear this may happen if JK is back on a big contract considering some of the things we've already seen.

I'd say that advocating for and laughing at the thought of caning human beings has, in fact, devolved into "4chan level stuff." It's sewer level.
