2021 Free Agency

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

I can see why Otto Porter would play for the Warriors though. He gets to step into the KD role with Steph, Klay and Draymond. It's a good way to be featured. He'll also be on TV a lot.

I think you are right. I think some people want free agent interest just to feel an inner need of being noticed as an organization. The jealousy around not being a major destination is real.

I mean, I wanted the interest because it would be the only way to improve the team significantly without giving something up.

as it stands right now, the team is objectively worse than last year, since Favors and likely Niang are gone and haven’t been replaced.

How many all-stars have we convinced to play for us? JJ is only one I can think of.

We’ve convinced Don, Rudy, and Mike to play for us. Do they not count because they were already here?

 

[NUMBERICA]

To be fair to OPj, he would be playing Niang’s role here, where he would probably getting more minutes and more visibility in GSW?

IDK.

 

[Elizah Huge]

Is Niang S&T for Paschall possible and feasible?

I’m starting to get cold feet letting Niang walk, but I’m also concerned he gets an offer that will not be worth matching. I’d also like to avoid sending other assets and I can see Niang being a boon for them.

No, GS is WAY over the apron. They can’t take anyone in a sign-and-trade.

I could see Niang getting a MLE offer from some team like the Timberwolves.

If we’re truly being objective, anyone we could have added with the TPMLE or can add with minimums was/is unlikely to make a material difference.

Getting better was always going to require a trade. Can we find one that makes sense, or not? That’s the only question.

Teams not in large market coastal cities don’t get better with TPMLE signings and vet minimum deals.

Danny Manning, John Starks, Tom Chambers.

I can say nothing else except that that’s ridiculous and there’s no point in arguing otherwise. Sure, we would be the one team that couldn’t improve with a free agent signing. Unreal.

I would look at the trade market for Lauri Markkanen or Larry Nancy Jr. I might also take a flier on Cam Reddish if he's attainable.

I understand going after Gay defensively. He's not a reliable shooter though.

Booz. Okur.

Not before they arrived.

TPMLE for Niang. Sign Tyler Bey. Sign Jock Landale. Trade for Eric Paschal for one of our scrubs. And hold onto the Favors TPE until trade deadline to pickup a player to address our holes/flaws.

Not sure how Markkanen would help us. We already have plenty of offense and shooting and he's not going to help our defense.
