Going to miss Blake but glad he can go a team that will compete in the playoffs.

Just tweeted it, apparently Blake is saying goodbye and leaving Staples.

Also this confirms that Hill will be traded as well. Nvm we're getting players back. Hmm could have sworn they would.have made the move to get out of the luxury tax but guess not.

This can't be correct, though because Brooks can't be combined in a trade.

Brooks makes 1.2 mil

Bazemore makes 700k

so dumping hill won't get them under the lux tax now, need to dump kaman too

Damn. He was doing warmups and they told him to enter the coaches office to inform him.

He's a great fit for the Warriors. Wish him the best.

It could be 2 separate trades if that's the case, but Woj now reporting it.

I like this deal, a lot. I've seen Bazemore play limited minutes in a few GSW games and he looks like a promising young player. Not sure about Brooks though.

All he needs to do now is don the #8 and learn from Kobe himself.
