Al hasn't officially signed, so everyone is still waiting on JK. Al has agreed to the deal, which will be signed this week presumably by Oct 1 which is the Kuminga deadline.

I expect JK to play hardball all the way to Oct 1 to try to squeeze more out of the Warriors. I don't see him signing the QO, he could have done that months ago if he just wanted out. He wants out eventually, but securing the bag first is the hold up.

I have a hard time seeing the Warriors budge, that reported 3 year 75+ deal is more than fair as Kuminga is a ? for the time being.

Forget that the young legend Podz is about to enter his prime?

They are, Draymond is the youngest of their star players and he will turn 36 this season.

I still can't believe Curry will be 38 by the end of this season. Make it make sense...

He was born in 1988. 2026 - 1988 = 38. Does that make sense?

Dubs are gonna be a FORCE ... For about 2 months, 3 tops. Sustainability and availability and all that.

Those numbers always need an asterisks because there's ALWAYS a team option tacked onto the end, which is the major holdup with the deal.

Lopez
Horford
Batum
Harden
Patty Mills all on the court at the same time would be funny

Mills isn't on the roster for the Clippers this season

This just means that Kuminga is unofficially officially taking the 1 year QO

A passing, shooting center who can hang out above the break fits into this offense hilariously well. For however many minutes he can play, he'll make life so much easier for Draymond and particularly Jimmy Butler, who can now attack inside against less help.

On defense... Jimmy/Dray/Al is so stupid.

If Al Horford had come to this team younger, it would have been absolutely unfair. Al is going to be 20 minutes a night but this will be fun.

Fully health this is going to be epic ball...but will they be healthy isn't a question but a dream.

No, Klay was done as a player. It wasn't age it was injuries and the cold hard reality he always was just a shooter with bird brain IQ.

I don't know you...but it hurts for me to even bench press 315 these days. We're all getting old. This is an old man nba fan club and the players are starting to all be not just younger than us, but way younger! We old!

Which part of you hurts? :lift:

I thought bench press was done laying down, so is it your arms that hurt?
