73 million for 4 years for Derek White, I'm sorry that's just ridiculous.

The Spurs have made lots of underwhelming moves the last few years.

I don’t think we trade for a young guy this year. I am guessing Sam wants one full year of a shot at number one with no interference.

I don't know that the gsw pick is conveying...

Kyrie is probably the only guy in the league that's more skilled with the ball than curry.

The warriors have no players. If Draymond isn't back to dpoy level then curry is going to have to be mvp russ to even sniff the postseason.

I'm here for the slander.

No way we get that GSW pick.

I know they are a very good organization but it's gonna be difficult for them to rehab Wiggins value.

Al Horford for Wiggins and pieces would be a possibility if they weren't developing Wiseman :(

Are they really a good organization since west left?

We will get the second round pick from minny instead which is pretty good value based on how Oubre played tonight.

The clippers are going to be a problem. I think they're better than the Lakers players 3-5 and PG/Kawhi aren't far off bron/AD

Tough to be light years ahead when the luck stops going your way at every turn. They're still a good org though.

Lakers offense is gross. Lebron and AD playing your turn my turn but both willing to settle for contested jumpers

Where is Steph Curry in the rankings at this point? Is he even top 10?

The Wiggins trade is a pretty big black mark on their post light year history.

Good orgs don't bat a thousand. We traded harden

Former Detroit piston point guard is going to be really successful with the clippers. As long as they do the right thing and play kennard instead of reggie that is.

Both were bad decisions but there were plenty of questions on whether or not harden could be a star and what kind of money he deserved. Everyone knew Wiggins wasn’t that star even though he was paid like one. What moves have they made in the last few years that show they are a good front office? I’m not saying they are horrible but Wiggins isn’t the only questionable decision that front office has made post Jerry West.

He’s extremely underrated if healthy. He just has tendinitis in both knees. He’s such a huge upgrade over Shamet who is a great shooter that I’ve never actually seen make shots.
