Really? That's why we are here lol

I'm not desperate about anything. I am just seeing all the question marks. Even Jon k said that things look fishy. It's not just me.

1. Why trade Iggy and 2 frps just to max Russell when he clearly doesn't fit and you have holes everywhere else in your roster

2. The only free agent we have been linked to is an ex gsw starter that is restricted and signing a really cheap contract to be here when he has other suitors

3. Our involvement taking on 2 non-guaranteed contracts and cash as part of another team s&t for obviously our only target in free agency

4. Towns, who was in the Russell meeting, makes the Instagram loading post after said meeting

Maybe people can come up with answers for all of them individually but combined together, they make for a solid argument that something bigger is going on
There are no question marks.

Yep, this definitely keeps me up at night! Being laughed at by people I've never met in person. THAT'S IT, I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE, I'M ENDING IT ALL NOW. SO LONG CRUEL FORUM WORLD! MAcwolf527 will never be fodder for your jokes ever again.

Before I go, what number do you guys think Russell is going to wear once he's here and the Wolves resign Tyus? Do you think he can buy #1 from Tyus with that new money? :lol: :lol:

Wiggins at SF is recipe for disaster. He lacks strength, size and rebounding, while providing no assistance in team defense, if we combine this with KBD at PF that sounds really bad to me.

Warriors just got WCS. How in hell do they have cap room to get WCS? What the bloody hell is going on?

This scares the hell out of me.

I can understand Russell wanting to sign a max deal from someone, and not have to wait. But GSW gave up Iguodala, cap space, two 1sts, cash, and their bit players to make this happen. They are going to want us to give them a bigger return.

Roco is a younger better option than Iggy and he announced that he is 100% now. Teague's expiring and roco should be enough. But maybe they need kbd, Culver or okogie too? I hope it only requires teague and roco

There is absolutely no way GSW can fit WCS into their cap. So how in the hell did they just come to an agreement?

If Teague is gone as part of the mysterious deal then DLo can wear his college number.

The tweet is from a fan website I believe. Nothing official.

The Roco stuff is legit. He said at summer league practice that he is 100% now

I'm confused. They had to trade Iggy to make room for the S&T. Is this some kind of thing where they get WCS than sign the Klay extension?

I just looked. The account started last month. It has 1350 followers.

They’ve made some pretty basic posts, and don’t profess any internal sources.

WCS wouldn’t take a vet min deal, would he?

One year, to get exposure for his next contract?
