GSW reached for Jordan Poole at 28 but I respect the hustle and hope he can hit his shots.

I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the other 2 picks so I just hope they can develop into something useful.

Can't wait to see Mario Chalmers sign a minimum deal and get meaningful minutes for the Lakers next year.

Since BlacknMild is not here I'll pick up the slack.

Warriors bought the #41 pick from the Hawks for 1.7 million. GSW now have the 28,41 and 58 picks and hopefully we get one decent player from that because we are going to need it.

The reason we don't yet know whether the AD trade will be completed July 6th or 30th is because Rob Pelinka is an idiot who is learning about the salary cap on the fly. The Lakers are getting played hard.

Also Kemba just seems like he's better suited to properly take that 3rd fiddle role and get maximum use out of it.

AD to the Lakers in exchange for Lonzo, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart, this year's #4 pick and two future first round picks.

First Woj Bomb of the off-season.

8. Masai Ujiri struck a cop. Yikes. In almost any other situation in this asinine country, a black man hitting cop has a high chance of ending with a dead black man. An unfortunate situation. Ultimately, Ujiri probably doesn’t get charged with anything, but that could have gotten much uglier.

About that.

There's video of Ujiri as he walks out of the tunnel into the court with his credentials in hand. This entire episode is embarrassing.

Is this a sure thing?  It's definitely an option, but I thought opting out would get him a raise, whether he signs a 2-year deal to have a final run with GS or goes elsewhere for a longer contract.

I'm just assuming that's a real option if the market isn't there for him this year.

Durant is going to opt in and rehab on Warriors dime. He won us 2 championships he can do that.

I would totally still give Klay the max no questions asked.

Iggy, Dray and Livingston are all signed through the end of 2020. Iggy and Shaun stand to earn 24 million between them next year so it's probably in management's best interest they retire or move on. Normally I would be against that out of loyalty to these dudes but the current injury situation gives them an out. I just don't know who would want Iggy at 17 million, even in his final year.

Bell and Quinn Cook are RFA's. Bell probably stays but I can see a few times making Cook a good offer.

McKinnie is safe for one more year(not fully guaranteed), same with Damian Jones who is making 1st rounder money unfortunately. Jakob Evans has 2 team options and I can see them at least picking up the first one.

Everyone else is unrestricted. They'll let Boogie walk but Looney is the big question mark. It looks like the team finally has a decent enough center to anchor this team so you kinda can't let him walk.

Next year looks very rough if Iggy and Shaun don't get moved/retire.

Had Golden State won tonight my bet would have been:

Warriors either win Game 7 by 40 points or they lose it by 40 points.

The way the series had gone so far it was only fitting.

Hubie I love you but what the ****?



Shaun is "seriously considering" retirement, but could "possibly" play next season.

I knew this moment would happen but I can't believe it sucks so much, specially with the injury to Klay. Congrats to the Raptors on not utterly blowing it.

Also I hope Pusha drops that diss on Drake right now. **** that guy.

It appear a Warriors assistant went back to the hallway to remind Klay of the rule. So I stand corrected.

I still think given the current scrutiny with the Warriors training staff there was no way Klay was ever going to play. So his return was mostly for the (important) symbolic gesture of seeing him pull a Willis Reed.

Klay didn't shoot the free throws because he wanted to be eligible to return to the game in the 4th. He shot the free throws because he knew the crowd would lose it once they saw him walk out to the court under his own power.

I would argue that it was never about the free throws. Once Klay felt he could walk out under his own power he wanted to do it to give the crowd a lift and hopefully spark his team one last time.

It's fairly easy to see he was done for the night.
