The Warriors would not want to pay Klay Thompson, franchise legend, but they would want to pay Zach Lavine $45M/year til 2027?

Dubs might aswel sign Russ if they're entertaining these types of moves.

Another super athlete with no fundamentals or jumpshot getting the Westbrook treatment. These young folks need to realize after that athleticism declines, fundamentals should always be there

This is pointless, just like when they added D'Angelo Russell. Unless you are going to overhaul your playing style with a non-shooter, why even entertain this?

Thought I was quoting the Lavine post, but I agree, they might as well bring in Westbrook if this is the angle they are going for.

Zach is a career 38% 3pt shooter,do you watch ball or just irrationally hate from a phone screen?

Need to stop assuming ultra athletic doesn’t mean no fundamentals

If this is true then the Clippers were just being petty. All things consider this is an incredible package, especially if the first round pick would be unprotected.

Clippers probably didnt want to give Kuminga a IQ like contract.

I don't understand what some of the owners were trying to accomplish with the new CBA. It seems like there is incongruence with what the fans want and enjoy versus what the owners want.

1. Over the last couple of years a lot of the buzz and attention the NBA has gotten was around player movement, either through huge, out of nowhere trades or free agency. The new CBA has made those type of trades a lot less common so the NBA is getting a lot less attention from this area.

2. Ratings show that the NBA is its most popular when there are dynastic runs and rivalries that last over the course of many years (Lakers versus Celtics in the '80s, Bulls dynasty run in the '90s, Kobe and Shaq in the 2000s, etc). Instead of leaning into this the NBA has done everything they can to limit team's abilities to go on long, multi-year championship runs.

Ironically, they should try and trade for dlo’s expiring

It’s not, they weren’t offering all that
There were versions of a trade involving those guys

Aggregators suck. If you read the article, the Warriors offered some combo of that, not all of it to the Clippers.

Did you just imply Lavine doesn't have a jump shot?

 

[blakep267]

Then the clips called his bluff perfectly then lol

 

[dacomeup]

He never was going anywhere

PG can still re-sign with the Clips. What am I missing here?
