Definitely a different regime, and they've made all the right moves, but objectively it does feel like this all might be peaking way too soon for it to be REALLY meaningful at this point.

I can understand Kemba Walker, but Jimmy Butler will be worth his contract.

If the Warriors renounce Klay & trade Iggy for space, maybe. But then they can’t re-sign Klay because bird rights would be gone.
EDIT - in short, no. They have no assets to make a trade that point.![]()
If they wait for 2020 when draymond expire, maybe. But then it’s just Curry & AD.
You are forgetting vet min is the going price for superstars in Ws

Speaking of, I was listening to a ESPN podcast last night and word is the Rockets might be dangling CP3 on the trade market on the low. I can see it because things started to slow up for Harden when Paul came back. Wonder who would trade for him.

Yes, since I had no plans to play this year, I decided to create an account on RGM and terrorize Knicks fans w my posting instead of my play.

Re: FA/Trade Rumors & Discussion - Durant, Kyrie, AD, etc
Let's not ignore the bond Boogie and KD have been forging during this season and how Curry/Klay/Green have been playing like they are the in crowd, cool kids game who let's the outsiders play with them. This has been part of the alienation feeling that both KD and Boogie have been experiencing which is being a divisive effect on the team.
I don't know what influence it will have come the off season but it is something to keep in mind. I'm also not sure what role another ring will play in the decision making process for those two in free agency.

Off the bench spark plug scorer and safety net in case of a Kyrie injury.

Well, Knicks fans always had a lingering sense of terror every time you jumped up and came down on those spindly legs of yours so......there's that.
