If they get Beal, there's no cap-space for Giannis.

That was Spo's first year and Lebron didn't want a young rookie coach. I doubt that it was personal.

To be fair, he signed a lot of stupid contracts during that stretch. But he is who he is for a reason.

Dont know about their owner, is he willing to pay 4 max contracts? Jimmy/Bam/2 max guys? As well as Robinson getting a raise that year for 10+mill (probably more like 15 if he replicates this season)

My usual mantra that GMs need to be more lucky than good, but they still need to be good. Riley's success as a drafter with Bam, Robinson, Herro etc is luck (just like it is for pretty much everyone), but he and Spoelstra and crew have set up a culture that can take advantage of those draft successes.

People always want to either ish on a GM or calm him Midas, feel like it's disrespectful/fails to appreciate the actual work they do.

Why the hell would they do that? :lol:

:crazy:


It's just a rumour but also they're contenders now.


I could see them having one max spot, but not two...Dragic is the best offensive player on their team. take him off that team and they can't score. they have to sign him


I think they'll definitely negotiate to keep him but also gotta keep in mind he is 34.

Butler isn't as ball dominant as one would think. He knows how to pick his spots. That said, it's a tad early to be talking about next yr already

Warriors go to 5 finals and win 3....dynasty.

A team in the ECF and maybe given odds for next year...is not.

Yeah they’re in a great position now and it’s an attractive free agent destination.


I think they did really poorly for a few years there with some awful contracts but they’ve turned it around big time.

In 2021 if they got even one of Giannis, Kawhi or PG, they would be the favorites


When will people realise that PG is a trash can on the court in the playoffs. He was becoming something nice at the Pacers. He had a terrible injury. He is constantly suffering from chronic pain in his shoulders. His will to win is lacking.

He is not the guy.
