Disbursement of talent to a bunch of different teams = another Warrior's ring. Congratulations to your team for winning the 2018 championship. Will sig-bet anybody on that.

You'd need to give others some favorable odds, because barring injury to two of their top 5 guys this is pretty much the easiest call you can make for next season.

Yeah, but some think that adding Carmelo Anthony will make the Cavs competitive with the Warriors. I say the Cavs aren't gonna win anything.

sperry Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Livingston resigns with the Warriors. 3 yrs/ 24 million. Very odd that he took a paycut and Iguodala seems like he won't, given their career earnings to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what their cap situation looks like at this point. I have to imagine that Enes Kanter contract would keep them from a big signing.

Easy money is obviously on the Warriors. It almost seems like the rest of the league is just positioning themselves for 2nd place. If I'm a GM with some cap space, I'm making a run at Livingstone and Iguodala. They have to take some pieces off this team for starters, and that doesn't seem to be happening.

Manhole Eunuchsbane Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 Even though Ainge keeps getting heat for not landing George, it seems to me the onus for that falls on the Pacers here. Apparently on draft night he offered the Pacers 3 1st round picks for George, yet they settle for Oladipo and Sabonis? Lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manhole Eunuchsbane Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 And in wake of the George deal, there has been a lot of talk surrounding a sign and trade between the Knicks and the Wizards for Carmelo for Otto Porter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manhole Eunuchsbane Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 And it looks like the Clips are getting close to signing Blake Griffen to a 5 year max deal. I don't get that given that guys injury history. I think they'd be better off blowing it all up. /And the Warriors resign David West on a one year deal. Are they going to lose anyone?

They're not competing next season anyway, and George wants to go to LA in a year anyway. Really stupid move if that was their motivation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems curious that, every time Boston fails to make a trade for a star, we get a report immediately after the star is dealt elsewhere that lists the amazing offer Ainge made that the team for some reason passed up. Personally, I think it's bullshit. I think he hardballed Indiana, they went elsewhere, and then he had it leaked that he made a better offer than he actually did so that the Pacers look bad instead of him.

But that deal was discussed on Draft Night. It was a better deal than Oladipo and Sabonis. There's no after the fact editing that was done here.

Cavs and Nuggets also supposedly had a deal in place that would have sent Gary Harris and a first to Indiana, which would have been a much better deal as well.

Right, so that underlines the Pacers failure here. There was really no reason for them to avoid trading George in conference. That really doesn't count for anything next season, and George likely ends up in LA the season after next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Seswatha Jordan Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Kinda sad, seems like the Cavs will not make any moves of any impact. Maybe upgrade g the bench at most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
