Game 3: New Orleans Pelicans (0-2) @ Los Angeles Lakers (1-1) - LOSS - 1-2

GSW salary is sitting at $135M this season... We'd have no problem paying that for the projected team. It's just a matter of getting super creative to make it happen... IF LeBron wants to leave.... And IF he wants to come to LA... And IF he wants to do all that and still contend for Championships, he's probably going to have to figure out creative ways to supplement his income, if he wants to to make $40M a year...
These guys are going to be media sensations in LA if they come here and can keep it together for a few years... They're going to make bank off the court too...
So who knows... How realistic was it for the Warriors to be able to sign KD and still basically keep the band together?

We had a $150M operating profit last season without Kobe. It's pretty hard to put out a contending team in the realm of possibility where Jeannie would think more than once about salary and tax as long as we're not paying Deng and Mozgov again.
