2024-25 Team Developments: Trades / Free Agents / News / Rumors / Ideas

Yeah, I get it but it's arguable if it makes sense with a 40y old superstar who's still a top5 player and the other one at the peak of his prime.
In the long term, I agree that if a couple of guys in rookie contracts/extensions + couple min/exceptions ring chasers make half of your core rotation, you can have a great team.
Not sure it's the best time to go that route now but hope it pays off

 

Interesting. It would never happen, but still interesting. Curry will be a lifer unless he asks out.

 

yeah, both gs and hawks fans would be quite upset with this.

 

We can't send the 26 pick, it would have to be the 29.
But yeah Bron and Curry would be an amazing pairing.
Max would be a starter and our bench Knecht, Wood, Hayes and Reddish. Great on 2k though

 

In the latest episode of Yahoo Sports' No Cap Room podcast, Jake Fischer reported on the Golden State Warriors plans with Lauri Markkanen off the trade market. With their young players still in the fold, the Warriors are expected to turn towards potentially extending Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody.

A rookie scale extension for Kuminga may not be cheap for Golden State. Fischer reported that Kuminga is looking for a max extension. That would see 6-foot-8 forward signing for just over a projected $224 million over five years.


Thus far, Cade Cunningham, Evan Mobley, Scottie Barnes and Franz Wagner have all received max rookie scale extensions from the 2021 NBA Draft class.

 

That would be insane.

 

If that happens I lose it

 

It feels like money has changed the game

 

They spend a LOT more of it now?

 

gotta hit the salary minimum. i'm not sure that eating reddish and a late second wouldn't have been a better investment, tbh.

 

A lot of these 4y contracts this year
Weird it goes to Svi who's been almost out of the league. I do like him though, great shooter.
Yeah, really bummer we can't even get someone to eat a contract. Hope this ignites fire on Wood, Hayes and Cam. They can still be solid 10 or 11th men in the rotation, so hopefully they come hungry to training camp

 

they're all in early bird rights territory, now, too. so if any of them proves rotation worthy, we can keep them and give them a raise. not saying it's going to happen, but watching the podcasters squirm if it does will be worth it and more.

 

I’m all for players being motivated for their next contract.

I like it even more when a contract doesn’t change how a player plays. Caruso will play the same way regardless of what he’s being paid.

 

Most boring Laker Offseason of my lifetime.
Thanks, new CBA.

 

didnt stop gsw from trying, they had mandate to cut payroll but still found way to add decent role guys in hield/slo mo

 

they...also...lost a franchise icon, acrimoniously...

not sure this is the management victory you're claiming.

edit: i'd also love to have seen the response on this forum had we say, moved even dlo for hield and kyle anderson.

 

yea but nothing happened n so what on klay he's a declining player....they still tried n did something unlike rob, his big off season is giving a borderline gleague player 8M guaranteed...embarrassing

 

Not at all if Christie steps up into a good rotation player with better coaching too and schemes to max what his current strengths are. It’s only embarrassing in your head about that.
