Podz has a chance to be something more. He follows that mold of role guy that might have more. At very least he is a good role player that is cheap for the next three years. If GS retains Kuminga it could put them in a salary bind. Podz/Key is kind of a wonky fit for now but figure it out as you go.

I wonder if there is a way to loop in another team we send Sexton or Kessler too and send a win-now piece to GS. I don't want to compromise on the picks or Podz myself IF Lauri is willing to extend and is happy here (as is reported).
The latter idea is interesting. If our FO really wants Podz they could probably work out a 3-way to get some replacement guy sent there....

Siegel is saying that Ainge and Dunleavy are still yammering at each other, but no progress to speak of.

No Podz, no deal.

I already think there's a good chance the Warriors are able to field a competitive team in the post-Curry era if they have Lauri, to where the picks/swaps won't be very good. Them having Podz as well makes it a non-starter.
 
Oddly enough, Podz efficiency is way worse with Curry on the court (57% TS vs 50% TS), but that appears to be almost entirely due to 3 point shooting variance. I do think he's a very nice player, don't see this future all star hype. I also think he's inherently more valuable to a contending team than a tanking team, so I would understand trying to find a way without him.
