Was it worth $68m though?

Edit: actually $82m.

I really wish GS hadn't acquired Oubre, and we had picks+ that we could trade for Curry to help them tank.

LeVert plays hard. I'd take him on my team in a heartbeat.

Not sure Wiggins understands that the point of defense is to actually stop people from scoring a basket. He does seem to do some random mild aerobic exercises, he probably thinks defense is an activity for general well being, like Tai Chi.

BKN is going to be a problem.

Jabari, Wiggins and KAT would make great Tai Chi partners.

Just need Curry to tweet I don't wanna be here. Unfortunately, we're down a 2nd round pick to trade them.

If I'm in charge of the Warriors I'm definitely thinking about moving on from Curry/Klay/Draymond. It was a good run but time to send us Curry and tank with Wiggins, they're done as far as contending goes

You a Wiggins guy?


No but I'm not saying he's a cancer either.

ever worked with people that sucked at their jobs but got paid considerably more than you?

whether or not hes a cancer or not doesnt matter, that becomes a toxic workplace.

maybe the nba is different though, and when wiggins turns it over 2 times in a row they all just shrug and smile.

What's up with Timothe L-C? I liked him in the bubble and he looks better than all these scrubs now. Is he gettable?

I could go on and on about how much Wiggins hurts your team, giving him 30+ MPG is a death sentence. He does nothing well but has the playstyle of a superstar waiting to be traded, super weird player.

"The playstyle of a superstar waiting to be traded." Nice.

I wonder if Jarrett Allen gets tired of coming off the bench during the course of the season, he’s definitely a starter. Winning cures all but his presence on D overshadows whatever perceived benefits you get from Deandre Jordan. Interesting choice

I think the biggest concern was paying oubre this summer when they'll have to pay Bridges the following year and he's a better player/fit.

Oubre couldn't hit a shot tonight but I think he'll put up good numbers this year. He was a great dude in Phoenix so I'm rooting for him to get paid this summer and with the way the market is shaping up looks like he could.
