Those Currys can shoot forever. I wouldn't mind him on a minimum.


100%. Seth as the new pat spencer? Perfect.

If Spencer could shoot. Seth led the league in 3pt% last year.

Al, JK, CB, Seth, Steph starting lineup looks good. JK and Butler could have so much open lanes for dunks.

I want Dray to safe himself for 4th quarter death lineup. Let JK stuff his stats to get a good return at potential cheap contract.

I didn’t realize the Warriors pulled Corey Brewer out of retirement (CB).
If I don't have anything funny to say, can I still have a signature?

Better option than Kerr's pet clunking everything.

Some have speculated that the Utah Jazz, Brooklyn Nets, or Charlotte Hornets could get involved in the restricted free agency field, specifically for Kuminga. In conversations at NBA Summer League, none of these three teams appear to be in the market to pursue Kuminga, sources said.

If Brett is right

Curry/Simmons
Melton/Podz/Buddy/Curry
JB/Moody
Dray/JK/Gui
Horford/Post/TJD

That's an interesting lineup
Most 4th Quarter Points in Final since 1991
1995 Shaquille O'Neal 11.5
2000 Shaquille O'Neal 11.5 (61.1% TS)
2015 Stephen Curry 10.8 (75.1% TS)
1997 Michael Jordan 10.7 (55.1% TS)
1998 Michael Jordan 10.6 (50.6% TS)
2011 Dirk Nowitzki 10.3 (68.0% TS)

Nets are interesting because they have to get to the salary floor so giving Kuminga a big contract isn’t crippling for them.

The article says those 3 teams are not interested in JK, but could help facilitate an offer if someone was willing to give him an offer. Still says most likely jk is back

The strategy is clear. Add a bunch of vets that Kerr will play and be deep enough to allow for load management of Steph/Jimmy/Dray and get them to the playoffs healthy and not burned out just to avoid the play in

You're correct, I updated with a quote from the article in my previous post.

There's a lot of versatility and 5 dead eye shooters (Curry x2, Melton, Buddy, Post). Then JB, Dray, Horford, Simmons, JK can essentially switch 1-5 on defense.

Rough estimates
Curry(30)/Simmons(14)
Melton(20)/Podz(24)/Buddy/Curry
JB(30)/Moody(20)
Dray(24)/JK(30)/Gui
Horford(24)/Post(24)/TJD

FYI, Siegel doesn't know anything about the Warriors but loves to make up stuff or speculate based on other people's info. I don't remember a single 'insider' FA thing he broke. I just ignore him.

I don't consider most info shared to happen from lower level people reporting, those without great connections just mention anything they heard vs the others who can hold back most of what they've heard and just mention the items that are probably going to happen. I'd expect 90% of everything mentioned not to happen but I also think there's some type of truth to them.

Unless you are wagering, its all just entertainment. BS and insider info alike.
Ben Simmons would be an interesting pickup. CDM/FireNellieQuick/Reggie (or whoever was typing on their account) was wanting Simmons last year or 2 summers ago. Would be interesting to see how that works. Same hacker was right about last summer being best time to trade JK (even if they had the wrong trade targets). If its for the minimum, I'm down. Maybe JK can mentor Ben to build Ben's confidence.

I want nothing to do with that 7 foot waste of space, Ben Simmons.
