i mean, haven't less deserving players got max contracts? lol, or am i wrong

i keep forgetting he's 29, he's so short he looks like he could pass for 25 or 26 LOL


All the time. NBA teams are so bad at handing out contracts.
Im legit going to die if we commit to winning while keeping him.
I love defense. I cannot watch another 4 years of this guy.

there's really not much there, basically the author says you he's not your #1 guy to build around but he's worth keeping (if you can't trade him+ for someone clearly better)

I can't question his offensive talent.
What he did this season with our offensive players is really fucking special.
Constantly Doubled/trapping a 5'8 guy and he was still able to make plays for limited offensive weapons.
Add weapons so he can't be constantly doubled and the dude is going to torch you.
Too bad he'll be torched twice as bad by any player on the other side.

You probably cant even get a late 1st.....I'd still trade him.
Nothing we add makes us compete with the Cavs/Warriors unless we add the likes of PG+Butler and a big...
It's too much to acquire and it doesn't seem we are adding this anytime soon.

Got so much young talent and draft picks..
Lebron will be done in 3-4 years..Warriors around the same.
Keep on building Danny, please.

Only all in if we can get a player like those absurd AD rumors.

problem is...you've already let him be the #1 guy and he's got that chip on his shoulder underdog mentality so he's not gonna let that go easily

and you can't build around him...he's simply a good scorer and that's it

put him on a team with 1-2 stars and he averages 20-22 imo

bottom line I don't think we should go all in this year, and i hope we don't, like you say, 2-4 years from now the Warriors and the Cavs will eventually have to take a step back

I think the gap between us and cleveland isn't as big as some seem to think BUT the gap between us and GS is pretty significant still.

It's too bad Paul George like only wants to go to LA long term lol, I think he (and some other small changes) would put us close to even with Cleveland. It would be a waste to go after him now if he's just gonna go to LA in 2018

that's still not bad at all... lol

also his ability to get to the FT line, and he's one of the best FT shooters in the game, makes him an asset as well (I know, it's scoring too, but yeah)

it's too bad he couldn't play like average D lol

No point at all going all-in imo..unless ofc all those trades happen, but that is not happening.
I want PG over Jimmy Buckets, but not if he's bolting.
The only reason signs point to us being all in on winning is Horfords contract. We have him signed for 3 years @ max -_-

When this Warriors-Lebron era is over, guys like Smart, Brown, Zizic(hopefully our future big) and our next few draft picks will be ready to win.
Our biggest problem with drafting players and not making moves to win is minutes. No room for players.

That's why i'm ok with selling. Build through the draft please.

Colangelo: I've been talking with Mike Zarren about the 2018 Lakers pick for a year.

Glad to hear this.
Hopefully it means we are going to keep drafting and not make any major moves to try and compete with Cavs/GSW.
