Playoff Race Thread

11 games against Houston, Phoenix, GS, Lakers remaining on the schedule. Lots of must win games.
 
Before the season, I felt this season probably wouldn't live up to the (start of the) previous one, but who knows. Then after a couple of nice games, we had this horrible stretch of misery and I thought it was going to be a tanking year, but now it's picking up steam again and I think it can be great fun. In particular if DA & co feels a) the draft is sub-par anyway and b) we'll probably end up giving up the pick so there is no real incentive to give up good pieces.

Yeah... I am not sure what his desires are. Some say they want to convey the pick this year but who knows. I'm not sure if he pulls the plug on something this year's draft is the main motivation. I could see him not seeing the return for KO and JC being all that great and just decide to wait until the offseason to do moves.

At this point my price from the Warriors would be Moody and a first if they want KO and JC.

That would be awesome

Clarkson is probably worth more than some deals that are getting thrown out there. His contract will be extremely team friendly the next couple of years.

Ya for this reason KO is who I would want to trade first. Clarkson contract is sweet. Might want to keep him around for when we are serious. Cheap contracts and guys who out play their contract are always nice to have around.

I was worried his early slump was a bit prolonged and thought maybe he was slowing down a bit. It'd be hard to trade him while on a heater but we have to remember the JC cycle. If you didn't have Collins and a Lauri renegotiate and extend on the table this offseason then the 14M next year really wouldn't matter to us... but if you are keeping Tech and KO while doing an extension for Lauri then JC needs to go most likely... similarly if you are keeping JC then KO likely isn't coming back.

JC and KO are in that zone where they are definitely worth more than a couple/few seconds but likely not dragging in a first on their own. I'd see if I could get a late first this year or a pick swap for next year... but if all you could find is an expiring and 2-3 solid seconds I don't think you are hurting yourself all that much by settling. Detroit owns Washington's second rounder this year... so it will be 32 or 33... Get that and another second for JC? Something in that value window would make sense to me.
