Trade deadline - what moves do the Dubs make?

No the trade being discussed is Marcus Smart and two FRPs for AG.

No way the Warriors should pay that kind of price.

Pelicans want to "unload" Steven Adams? Wow how can we get that guy on the Warriors?

1. Cause hes a waste of a roster spot.
2. Save Lacob some money.

I don't give a crap about saving Lacob money.

Regarding a roster spot, you gotta have someone better to take that spot. Having an empty spot doesn't help anything unless it's to accommodate an uneven, multiplayer trade. So paying money and giving away draft picks just so we don't have to see his mug - seems unwise.

If Oubre is here past the deadline and they let him walk in the off season, I'm going to talk so much **** about Myers.

However, they would almost certainly need to include multiple second-round picks in such a deal and by my count only have four left they can trade. Trading Kelly Oubre Jr. while taking less salary back could also help cut their bill.

Y'All want to save Joe Lacob some money?

Exactly. What is this compulsion to slash the tax bill? It doesn't affect the cap which is what actually matters.

Outsiders don't understand 1) how much the Warriors value Looney (and his paltry $5 mil salary), and 2) this team is not about cutting corners, they are always willing to pay to make the team better.

Let's say the Warriors will not resign Oubre or Oubre will not resign with the Warriors. How do you think the players will feel if the Warriors just give away Oubre mid-season and hurt their playoff chances?

How do you think Steph is going to feel that an important salary slot was allowed to slip away just like that so that we can be a 1st round/2nd round exit this year at best? As much as I want the team to compete this year, let's get real, the endgame is to maximize Steph's window. We're not doing that if we're keeping Oubre just to allow him to walk this off season. I like the guy. But our ceiling with him this year is a middling team.

I don't think Steph thinks about salary slots and draft picks, I think Steph wants Bob Myers to give him as manny ballers as possible to roll with. And I don't even think a $14 mil salary slot is all that useful for the future construct of the Warriors - it's not like we're gonna sign the Greek Freak, but for a $14 mil salary to throw into the trade.

Dipo being held out of tonight’s Rox game. Not an ideal fit on the Dubs but interesting.

I have a really bad feeling about this...Something bad like an overpay for Oladipo.

Why do we have this idea that Steph is ignorant to this stuff? Of course he realizes what salary slots on this team means. You damn well know, or should know, that Steph is thinking about what options this team has moving forward. He for sure wants to compete this year, but even he realizes what the limits are to this current roster and what's needed to maximize the team's chances in the future. Sure, he'll say the right things, but he also thinks like the rest of us in terms of knowing flexibility is important for the team. Obviously I'm not saying that 14m is what stands between us and competing, but you just don't know. So why let opportunities like it slip by?

I've said before a month ago I think that what I believe Myers is going to do is keep Oubre because he's not going to get aggressive this season trade deadline and then let him walk in the off season. If they get the #4 or #5 pick in the draft, it's only going to give him the justification to do so.

kingcong95 · Post #93 » by **kingcong95** » Wed Mar 24, 2021 11:13 pm

I never believed we were all that interested in Oladipo. He's only being held out because he's about as certain to be traded as anybody.

Dipo was worth Caris Levert and his semi-questionable contract 2 months ago.. since then he's played poorly and turned down a lucrative contract.

I'd be down if it cost Oubre/Looney or Oubre/Wanamaker/Smiley.. I would not include any 1sts, Poole, or anything like that. Eric Paschall would be the only asset I'd be willing to give up. And even then, I think he has decent value, but the forum is down on him because his expectations were way too high for his talent level

Why? What fantastic offer do you think he should have accepted so far? What are all the offers he has on the table? Surely you know this if you are prepared to go to town on a GM for making, or not making a certain move. I'm interested to know what's on the table.

My statement isn't about Myers pulling a rabbit out of his @ss to make a trade happen. It's about not making a trade AND letting Oubre walk in the off season. So both of those things have to happen before I let the expletives fly.

If Myers can't find any takers for Kelly, without sending out other assets as well, do you think we should resign Oubre if he signs an offer sheet of $20+ million elsewhere in the offseason?

I'm actually part of the camp that wants to trade Oubre and doesn't want to resign him because I don't think he's going to want to be a bench player.

Again, I've always thought of Myers as a passive GM. So that's why I already stated what I thought was going to happen. What I was hoping for was that Myers can conjure up some cojones to at least get a contract that gives him flexibility into the summer even if it's for a lesser player. At least we'd have options going forward.
