Demar tells Draymond he wanted "to come home"

has he stopped being completely clueless on both ends yet? i know every time i watched him last year, i was like: that tall, talented player is somehow killing his team on every possession and brandon clarke needs his minutes.

 

Lot of money being handed out on these extensions that are... questionable.

This response and how it pertains to Ayton had me laughing though...

 

yeah, they're not seeing what i did. and they probably watch more. just felt like a lot of low hoop iq on display from him, injuries notwithstanding.

 

would've much rather had derozan than westbrook

 

But he was never Bron's target, rather his fallback. Bron wanted a guard who could take some of the ball handling off his plate.

Not to mention Pop hates us. I think he liked the idea of getting Kuz, but not at the expense of helping us. Meaning that we could have only offered DD $10m and that's if we gutted the roster and based on his pay day, I don't think he was interested in that.

So sure, DD wanted to come home but at that the expense of financial sacrifice and he's not in position to force Pop and the Spurs hands in a S&T

 

Anyone know anything about him?

 

Meaning no Simmons to Indy trade this season.

 

Reached the embedded video limit in the previous post, here's a couple more tidbits

 

Roster is now full



Based on lack of size, would've rather had Ennis.

 

Not sure if he fills the most pressing needs, and not sure how he looked in pre-season with GSW. But I’m fine with this move, he was on my radar earlier this off-season.

Wonder if it’s a non-guaranteed contract though (not entirely sure how waivers work), because I’d still like us to have flexibility on the buy-out market.

 

Not sure if he has much left

 

We have a lot of guards. I guess we plan on deploying a lot of 3 guard sets this season.

 

I love this signing. People forget he's only 30. Is he the same player as 5 years ago? No. But he can help this team.

 

He seems washed. But he looked the same before the first stint so maybe he finds his way here.

Our lack of size is concerning

 

don't understand the bradley signing.

the huff signing is a curiosity. i don't expect much there at all. we like him more than chaundee?

so two thumbs meh.

 

for reference, this is mikal bridges money for fewer years.
