I think this will be it for James. I bet he’s two years and out. Dat 2027 pick doe.

That sucks. That means he plays, and they are trying hard to win for him in his last season, during the season that determines where that pick lands

No… he retires the year they owe it.

Edit. I see my mistake. I missed the 24/25 season when thinking of the years he would play.

Cool cool. Good news for the pick

Well Lauri could be gone in a year and Steph is old

They will not trade "kings ransom" unless they first get assurances that Lauri would re-sign to a fair offer. And Lauri is not the type to go back on his word. Furthermore, DA cannot value the picks based on super speculative scenarios.

So anyone assessing the trade value should assume Lauri will be there long term. Reduce 5% for flight risk if you will, but not more.

Look... half of the stuff I say is nonsense... half is prophecy... it is your job to figure out which is which.

Bronny has one more guaranteed year than LeBron, would be kind of weird if he doesn't pan at all (as is expected) and he's floating around the franchise another year

I see that Haywood and Malik Beasley are still free agents. Pull the trigger DA. They will put us over the top.

The “I’m back Utah” players tribune article tomorrow would right all wrongs

We need the protections off that pick. Get them Clarkson ASAP and take back whatever garbage salary to make it happen.

DLo will get wrapped into some trade that they do... we can help smooth things by assuming some salary. I know the math and it is unlikely to fall in the 1-4 range but I'm with you. Get that pick naked.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

We could facilitate somehow in a DLo/Derozan sign and trade since Bulls won't want to take back salary and Lakers need to stay under an apron or the third bib or some ****. Help them avoid the spatula of death.

Golden State is either making moves so they aren't pathetic or they are making moves so they actually have a roster with an outside **** of contending with Lauri

Can't tell

What I can't get is... if they were going to settle for being mediocre for the final years of Steph... why not give Klay what he wanted and let them retire together in a few years? This is why I actually think they are trying to build towards something better... I just don't know what it is and if it includes Lauri.

His other son will be draft eligible in '27 I think...
