Tari Eason started off strong. Type of guy who is boom or bust project imo

I had Eason in my top 5 or 6 players in the draft. He has a funky shooting motion but he's a very good bet to be a star player.

He remains me on Anthony Randolph for whatever reason, there isn't shot he doesn't like :lol:

I saw that and said "ouch"...maybe that's just the new going rate or Riley and Spo (who've been around) see "star".

Not sure if he is a star, but he averaged 20.7 a game last year and is 22 years old and can score from pretty much everywhere on the floor. Bad defense tho. Maybe they see more potential for him to improve in that area. He has played the point at times as well as he averaged 4apg and 5rpg.

I was listening to Vecenie podcast this morning, and the way he was explaining it is that the next TV deal is going to push the salary cap much higher like 160-170 range starting in 2024-25, and deals like Herro's will be a good value when it starts.

So we should start seeing more deals that don't seem to make much sense, but is based on teams trying to predict the future. An expansion could impact those projections, as more teams would be splitting the tv pool.

Rather than paying attention at Uni., why didn't I focus my energy on chucking a ball at a metal ring.

USD$32.5 million a year for four, WOW.

In conclusion: F-Wagner is gonna be a very wealthy youngin soon!
Five for 200M seems like an expectation target.

Yeah I mean we're going to have to re-adjust a little bit as to what's a big salary and what isn't.

The cap right now is $123.6M. Herro at $32.5M per year comes out to 26.3% of the total salary cap.

But as the cap explodes over the next three seasons, Herro's cap hit is gonna drop to about 19% of the salary cap.

That 7% drop is the equivalent of Herro signing 4/94 in today's money. About $10M a year less annually.

Do you think Herro at $23.5M per year in today's money is acceptable? Probably is given his age.

Herro a much better offensive threat than Franz, at least right now. projecting that much for Franz after just 1 year is premature imo

Draymond & Poole got into a fight during practice and Draymond's gonna get disciplined by the team.

Seems like the contract situation is blowing up in the Warriors face

Paolo needs to hit up Poole tonight and start laying the groundwork for free agency

I know. He is a Restricted Free Agent if he is not resigned by Warriors before Oct 17th.

But I am not seeing an option Warriors let him go. Too much value

Miles bridges is a free agent. How long until someone signs him in the face of the domestic violence charges? I think October 8th is the preliminary hearing to see if there is a court case.

Nobody wants to be near him due negative PR

and Thompson is also jealous, trash talking to Pool all the time. The dynamic is going to be interesting. I hope we are ready to act if opportunity comes.

Espn was saying that Poole’s extension would be north of 180 mil. Maybe I’m old school but that seems like a lot.

I don't see how he gets more than Herro's 4/130 (including 10m incentives). If he does, somebody taking a big swing.
