oh I agree. we should not negotiate with ourselves. I do think we should be trying to work a 3 team deal if they are resistant to Monk because I don't want to take garbage like Buddy back in a deal. If Milwaukee and Giannis are really working on keeping him there they seem like an ideal third team but if not maybe its time to start looking at deals with Houston.

You and me both!
 
I almost respect the level of pety that GS hates Kuminga. They'd really hold him past this deadline? Insane
We should have shown Fox that treatment. What was Klutch going to do? Make Sacramento a worse free agent destination??? Lol we should have deactivated Fox's arena access and told him to stay home not for De'aaron Fox himself but for the next agent who wants to play us.

To the contrary, the Kuminga situation shows the risk with this approach. The Warriors could have received a protected first from the Kings over the summer. Now, that pick is off the table.
 
I think most likely if you read between the lines and teams use Shams and others to push agendas is a lot of negotiation on social media.

Nets wanting 2 first for MPJ
Nets thinking to wait for the draft before moving MPJ
Kings GM now thinking Monk can be a long term piece

Teams are trying to squeeze the Warriors now. Warriors are trying to win and give Curry help for what’s left of his career
Nets and Kings really don’t have to do anything right now…..they hold all the cards

I think the risk with Fox (which is obviously no longer a consideration in hindsight) is that the team was still "good" enough for a playoff run without him.

There's also the question of what would have happened with Fox's demand of San Antonio only after they got the #2 overall pick which was obviously going to be Harper. Maybe he becomes open to Houston which would have been a better trading partner.

I think our institutional takeaway moving forward is going to be avoiding Rich Paul's clients. Which could only get tougher if people see what he did for Fox and jump ship. On the other hand he does have unhappy clients. Trae bailed on him, there was the whole thing with Nerlens Noel, you have to wonder how Zach is feeling these days if it is true that Paul forced us to take him and now can't get him out.
 
Look at what Trae went for and what Ja likely goes for. Price of the brick been going down
I know it means nothing because its fan wanking but when I suggested a "fair" deal was Zach for Ja and a future FRP it was still widely rejected. Ja is damaged goods though and so I won't be surprised if Memphis including compensation is the end result.
 

The Warriors have to know they look absolutely awful in this scenario right? They don't "have" to trade him by the deadline? You're just willingly going to hold onto a player you have active disdain for? At the end of Steph Curry's career?

Feel like a lot of agents are going to remember how they're treating Kuminga going forward. Good luck to them in a post-Steph world,

It might just look like the pre-Steph world. When there were two laughingstocks in NorCal.
 
I'd be very concerned if Golden State drafted me at this point. They might as well just trade away their future draft picks for all the dedication they've shown to (not) developing any of their young players.

They've done better than the Kings after blowing the high ones. If the Kings had Curry and heart of a muti time champ pushing young guys back that would be one thing, the Kings are doing, well, what they're doing. Next they'll be making that play in push, keep watching.
 
So now I'm reading GS is prioritizing expiring contracts for JK. That's pretty funny. They sign a guy to trade for expirings lol.

"League sources said the Warriors have been prioritizing expiring contracts in return for Kuminga. They've declined the idea of taking back long-term contracts unless they view it as no-brainer positive value. That has been the holdup in conversations with Sacramento. The Warriors refuse to absorb the three years and $60.4 million remaining on Malik Monk's deal, though league sources said Keon Ellis (on a cheap expiring deal) is a potential sweetener of interest to them."

Somewhere a middle-aged housewife binges a Netflix series, until the act of the two leads nervously dancing around each other becomes redundant and futile and she screams at the television, "Would you just **** already?!?"
 
All just posturing by the Warriors. They realize that Sacramento is the only interested team and that we hold all the cards. So they are trying to gin up some leverage. Basically, "we don't have to take your package because we can trade JK for expiring contracts, which you don't have enough off to match. But we will consider your offer instead of the way better option of taking an expiring contract if you sweeten it by giving us Keon..."

If they are really willing to trade JK for an expiring contract then they are officially the dumbest franchise in the NBA (even worse than us) because they could have just let JK walk this summer, but instead, signed him to a deal to maximize his trade value and then did the absolute opposite to his value by how they handled him, and in the process, ruined the chance to maximize their roster around Steph...

Dunleavy has no idea what he's doing

DeRozan is essentially an expiring with his buy out next year. DDR makes the most sense for the Warriors. You get the veteran scoring help you need and a potential expiring contract, if things don't work out.

DDR would be a deadly 6th man for Steph Curry's last couple of years run.
