Even ignoring why Suns or Lakers would do this, that trade definitely does not work with the CBA. The ESPN trade machine is hot garbage.

Anthony Slater just reported KDs business partner/agent was Lacob’s guest sitting next to him at the Suns/GS game on Friday and they also hung out pre and post game.

Also not giving up on the Butler pursuit after he said he wouldn’t sign an extension is interesting

Whole reason Phoenix is willing to overpay Butler is cause KD wants him and increases the chances of him signing an extension in Phoenix.

Can GS beat the Suns to the plan?

Get Butler to entice KD? He'll be in the same contract situation as Fox and have leverage. Steph/Butler/KD trio?

I figured as much with Phoenix being well over the second apron.

Supposely the Warriors are calling around the league for any all star they can pair with Steph. Probably backup plan on losing Lavine and Butler.

I heard they even called on Paul George too. If this is the Paul George GSW gets in Philly... man, he is worse than Wiggins. So why?

The key is moving Draymond to get Durant. No way Durant wants any part of Draymond Green's Alpha BS

I'd take PG but not for Wiggins at this point. That's slightly more than a wash.

Ownership has adopted the new POTUS strategy....sign a bunch of executive orders and pretend you are doing something.

Worse... $49 mil to $26 mil. Dubbs probably will have to throw in a 1st too.
