I skipped around a bit and didn't listen to the whole thing. They have a pretty realistic outlook of the warriors players and the status of the team, but there is certainly bias. What they view as the warriors best offer in no way is going to get the deal done. Its not even close- Moody, Kuminga and two picks - Utah better say take a hike. How do people not realize that Utah in no way needs to trade Markannen?

I’ve been listening to these guys lately. They are okay but they have some weird theories about how this “negotiation” is going. Namely anytime any news comes out that Lauri is staying or signing an extension that is simply Ainge desperately getting espn, the athletic, or whoever else to “carry Ainges water”. Like Danny is plotting for these reports to all come out and put pressure on the warriors… like that really matters. Liu is more convinced it gets done… says 60/40 Sam is more 40/60. The Dickinson guy seems like it’s an extension.

If you want to be entertained on what they think is going on here then by all means listen. Sam will oscillate between homer and skeptic. If you want to know what is really going on there is only one source of truth. Jackpotting Around.

Noooo... You just didn't! Shameless self promotion. Kudos!
 
The highest the tone o meter got was straight like a little less than 50% around the Fourth of July. It’s been at 10% ish shortly thereafter and been steadily declining every day. We will hear one last wave of “it could happen” before he signs next week.
 
I think the meter is at one thousandth of one percent. The Jazz released the photo of Key and Lauri working out in Finland. Thats a yuuuge tell.
 
Does the R&E get treated like a signing for trade purposes? If he extends do we get the magical 24hrs window to trade him to another team before it solidifies? If so, could we see Wiggins in Utah?

no. we'd have to wait 6 months to trade him. Can't do it as an extend and trade. If he doesn't sign on the 6th then we can't trade him until next offseason because the 6 months will run past the trade deadline.
 
Does anyone have a good conspiracy theory on why we haven't signed anyone yet? I believe the only reason we wouldn't do that is to sign them after we use our cap room. The Lauri R&E won't take up the whole cap space, so what could it be?

(I'm pretty sure we are just keeping our options open, but would love to here some more fun guesses)

There is BI... some think an Okoro offer sheet could end up coming out. I think it might be more about just doing the right order so you can maximize the leftover space for salary dumps. That is super boring but it could also be that we may move Lauri and then want all the space for some mega salary dump.

If I had to guess something and accuracy was rewarded... I'd just guess its precautionary and we see a salary dump deal that yields a second or two.

I think the reason is because we are trying to tank this upcoming season.

Okay fine... Imma double down on boring on yo ***... we aren't doing anything with the space. Just keeping powder dry and Ryan will end up pocketing the money and JZ will talk about how we are reinvesting it in the program so its an amazing thing.

It's actually the opposite of what you would expect, but I'm guessing you misunderstood what I meant.

We haven't officually signed any of our draft picks or Eubanks. We are maintaining the maximum amount of cap space available. Typically a team would do this to sign a big free agent with cap space so they can use exceptions for their other signings.
