    I may not have trust in Gentry to lead this team yet(hope he proves me wrong this season), but we at least need to give credit where credit is due. Gentry sought Erman and he reportedly sought and is actively highly receptive to Finch's input and offensive re-structuring. He seems to know how to put a good supporting staff around himself. That is one thing he at least deserves credit for.
    I wasn't aware of that. Good to know it!

    And, we are the only team that can offer a 5th year, so he would have to renegotiate the deal in order to make it a S&T.

    Is PP considering in that tweet that Jrue is on that table for trade?

    Yeah MM even responded to someone else who thought he meant the same thing. He didn't mean Jrue is being discussed. He meant the players we are looking at are on the same level as Jrue and if you think Jrue is impact then you will think they are as well, if not you won't .

    if Hill is looking now for a one year contract why dont we sign him? He would be gone afer next year when the money is needed and he would definitely help to get to the playoffs

    We can only sign him for up to the MLE. He will get more than that on a 1 year deal.

However, MM has said on many occasions that he did not feel that Jrue moves the needle much more than someone like Lin or Rubio. So, that may be the level of player he is talking about. I highly doubt we have what it takes to get someone like Bledsoe or similar.
    Well, I gotta tell ya! It's a great hook line! Because I know MM picked Holiday's name on purpose.

    I would read that and assume that the player we're looking at is on Jrue's level. So, would you consider a player of that calibre to be an "impact player" or just a good player.

    You mean?



    Frankly I was kinda wishing he wasn't the NBA's biggest hoarder anymore..And sort of rooting for him.

    Ainge's failures are leading to a tougher West.

    I would much rather Butler and/or George end up in Boston instead of in the West lol.....Or Hayward, or even Milsap for that matter.

    Ainge has to be one of the largest indirect contributing factors to the West getting even stronger. Adam Silver needs to find Stern and get some "basketball reasons" going on that man.

    Im seeing it more the other way around, like we need impact player and justifying that saying Jrue isn't one.

    KD reaaaaallly wants to play in the Bay. I mean he will get as much as Otto Porter...

  20. #770
    Silver better get on this and fix it. This is bad for the entire league.

    It wasn't enough that Durant went to an already loaded team but now he keeps himself grossly underpaid to keep the talent pooled in one place.

    Owners have to be furious as all non Warrior fans should be

    can definitely say that KD's doing everything he can to keep this GSW thing going

    I mean if players want to take less money I can't really fault it.

    What is frustrating is this Frankenstein set-up of a league where you say you want more parity and more equity between franchises. More similar to the NFL. But then you produce a system where you still let the Yankees mentality thrive. Just with more window dressing and a penalty structure that really only hits the teams that don't have deep pockets.

    Where you have GS, what is it, spending upwards of 200-400 million after salaries and taxes by 2021? What are you actually producing as a product with a set-up where the structures you put in place aren't working the way they were designed to? It certainly isn't stopping some of these teams from bloating their rosters. It frankly isnt even helping the non-star players get paid better the way the union argued. So what is this current structure achieving in terms of its goals? I don't really see anything.

    The league has always depended basically on player greed to maintain some semblance of balance. Once you can no longer count on that...its why I have long been in favor of a more player friendly version of a franchise player rule for the NBA. In the NBA of all sports that one player means everything, and if guys won't stay with their franchises with a carrot then you really need to use a stick.

    As far as getting the Warriors to break up, well, that's a problem. No system ever anticipates a talent of K.D.'s level to be so gutless.
