[NBA] Comments that don't warrant a thread (TDOS)

[SLAB]

so with Klay potentially missing all of 2020-2021 season are the Warriors going to tank another year?

I imagine Curry will take months off with stubbed toes and hangnails.

Curry is probably enough to carry them out of elite prospect range.

I imagine Curry will take months off with stubbed toes and hangnails.

They'll do Curry like the Phoenix Mercury did with Diana Taurasi, the year they tanked to get Britney Griner, and hold him out of games with, like, a toothache.

Newsday has learned Knicks are waiving Elfrid Payton and Kenny Wooten and not picking up option on Bobby Portis. Also, no qualifying offer for Damyean Dotson, who is an unrestricted FA now. More decisions to come...

Chris Iseman @ChrisIseman
Knicks make it official: Wayne Ellington, Elfrid Payton, Kenny Wooten and Taj Gibson have all been waived. They're not exercising team options on Theo Pinson and Bobby Portis.

Golden State will now apply for the Disabled Player Exception worth $9.3M. The exception can be used to sign, trade for or claim a player to a one-year contract. The exception expires on April 17.

They have a 19.2 exemption....... we have a player whose destination just got murky and wants to compete..... something there?

That's brutal. As much as he's killed the Kings, I love to watch Klay Thompson play.

Hard to see the Warriors waste one of Curry's waning prime years (he'll turn 33 this season) to tank but this may also be it for the Dubs championship aspirations.

The Warriors trade exemption for Iguodala expires this Monday. And I don't know if the fact that they are a tax paying team limits it's use.

Obviously I'd S&T Bogi for Golden States lottery protected 1st in 2021 but I doubt the Warriors would. Or if they'd even be allowed to.

I really don't know but was reading that their GM had that along with two other exemptions that he was ok'd to use by ownership. But that was before this injury.

Atlanta is trading Dewayne Dedmon to Detroit, sources tell @The Athletic @Stadium.

The Warriors may end up trying to win this year. They could take on some expirings for future draft capital. What about Derozan? I suppose it depends on how long Klay is out.

ATL clearing space?

ATL clearing space?

Hawks gained a little, but they already have plenty of cap space.

Marc Stein @TheSteinLine
The Knicks have been aggressive in their pursuit of Gordon Hayward all week, sources say Amid a growing belief leaguewide that Hayward will decline his $34 million player option for next season, New York may loom as Hayward's best option given all the Knicks' newfound cap space

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Taker's back on the move; headed to Detroit.

Kelly Oubre headed to Warriors?
via Twitter ShamsCharania
Shams Charania: The Oklahoma City Thunder are in serious talks to move Kelly Oubre Jr. to the Golden State Warriors, sources tell @The Athletic @Stadium.

@wojespn
The Warriors will absorb Oubre Jr., and his $14.4M salary into their $17.2M trade exception once deal is done.

@BobbyMarks42
Golden State tax bill is currently $66M The addition of Kelly Oubre would see it increase to $134M $14.4M of Oubre + $68M in taxes= $82.4M

Celtics’ Gordon Hayward has opted out of his $34M deal for the 2020-21 season and will become a free agent, sources tell @The Athletic @Stadium.


He must have another deal lined up. To forego that much guaranteed money . . .

i kinda thought this could be the Bjelica deal.

Proof Utah probably would of jumped on the Bjelica + a second for Davis & 27 in the draft. And McDaniels went 28, hope he doesn't turn into a stud.

A lot of Giannis sweepstakes talk lately. Who do you folks think will end up with him if not Milwaukee? I think he will resign with the Bucks personally. If he does bolt I see him going to either the Heat or the Mavs. Can you imagine a Luka/Giannis pairing? That could be the most entertaining duo of all time.
