1) to retain some sanity I am going to try to chalk this up to more of his agent's posturing -- trying to create the illusion of competition by throwing our name out again and dragging our front office's, well, not so good name through the mud.
BUT
2) if true, this is like a ongoing nightmare. We were openly MOCKING that possibility a month ago. Now new management, who seem sincerely and I do mean sincerely trapped in the provincial worlds of their last employers, let Reke go in order to replace him with Monta? If true...my my what a fun way to really **** up your new image.
Would like to note for management that Golden State was one of the worst franchise in the NBA. They had one good year, last year, AFTER they dumped Monta the previous year. Its frankly insulting that these carpet baggers pull on up into town and think their least castoffs are superior to anything the local yokels have.
If it happens I'll swing around and squint real real hard and make up ways in which it works. Until then, yikes. I was hoping new management meant we would quit getting laughed at.

I could deal with this. He would be a 6th man, but how big a salary? He just opted out of 11M. I can't see giving him more than 6MM per.
That being said, i think I figured out what they are trying to do. They are trying to create the path of the warriors 4 years ago, so in 4 years they will be like the warriors are today. BRILLIANT!

Monta is basically the anti-christ for stat nerds. Landry and Vasquez, like them or not, fit the mentality of us trusting deeper into an analytic line of thinking.
This sounds more like an agent trying to drum up interest in his client so ATL steps up their game and gets a Monta deal done. Not too worried by this

Yeah, I'm thinking this is ONLY an agent doing his job, and good for him. It's making me personally nervous as hell. If the FO is REALLY looking at Monta, I can't think of ANY scenario it would be advantageous unless it's for a one-year deal and to dump equivalent in contracts. Unfortunately when things sound too good to be true? You know the drill.
