So Dlo for Durant dual sign and trade. This is what happens when we didn’t have things lined up, Dlo jumped at the first offer to actually offer the max. Maybe he would prefer GSW anyway, but he can’t wait around for us to hopefully line up space and risk losing out on his payday. Awful.

Brutally disappointing, pretty much everything indicated Russell would end up here. I am bummed, but it is what it is, I guess.

Who says we didnt have things lined up?
I think we were just used as a team willing to offer him the max. And he got it. From a better team. :(

That trade may actually make the Warriors worse in the long run. Blow up their defense and chemistry and they have little to no flexibility moving forward.

I'm wondering if Rosas thought this would be a possibility? What will he do now to save face?

At this point, we’re a mess. Pissed off vets we tried to trade. We clearly failed after we made our intentions very public. A mistake. At this point, the West is stacked. I’d still move Wiggins, we’re not making playoffs.

Well we came into the offseason capped out with a bunch of bad contracts. Rome wasnt built in a day.
We showed KAT we were willing to make things happen, but it has to sting.
