Don't play with our emotions Robyn. It is hardcore mean to post this and then leave. Please stay..
 
I don't want any part of Iguodala if it's for $20M a year like people are reporting.

I don't want any part of him regardless. If Hayward walks, I wanna go pure youth. Package Favors, Hood and the OKC 1st for a really good, young, long 3 with a lot of upside. Someone like Jonathan Isaac but who is actually attainable. Roll with that guy, Exum, Mitchell, Bolomboy and Gobert in the starting five en route to a top 3 pick. Get a stud next year and go from there.
 
Just for reference Ingles was our best isolation player at points per possession. He got 1.2 PPP. Exum was our next best at 0.91. Hayward and JJ 0.82 and 0.79 respectively. Obviously Exum got a lot less opportunities but when he got the ball in an iso he did well. Ingles and Exum were also the same ranking for shooting percentages in those situations which is what lead to their PPP. Exum also had a fairly low turnover rate in ISO as well. Inlges and Hill were better but Exum was better than Hayward, Hood or Mack in those regards.

One of the biggest areas Exum needs to improve(shooting threes is big but I think he is showed he can do this by the end of last season) is pick and roll. Overall he did well at a lot of things but this is where he turned the ball over too much. He shot decent, he got to the FT line out of this situation a lot(our best at this next to Hayward). He got a lot of "and ones" (Our best at this out of pick and rolls.) But he turned the ball over way too much 28.9% of the time. The only players worse on the team were Ingles(30.5) and Diaw(48%)
 
he's saying that if you go by what he'd done so far (which is all the evidence we have available to us!), then you can define his floor. This isn't difficult for anyone who doesn't have homer goggles on.

The probabilities are in favor of Exum getting better. But, there's always the chance that what he does in the offseason doesn't translate. When you consider these things, you have to use the latter in discussions of his floor. Simple.

ya ok what do you honestly think the chances are he doesn't improve one iota from third string ?

Actually i have a weird feeling they may pull the trigger and trade him if Gordon stays. DL talked him up something shocking the other day and i get the feeling Gordon doesn't have much time for him.
 
Let me deep dive into an instagram post from a players wife:

Would be savage as **** to post that knowing he is leaving.

She doesn't seem to be savage as ****. So at the very least he hasn't made up his mind yet, or is even heavily leaning towards leaving.

Detective Bawse on the case.

Is it really savage? I think it's a nice gesture to recognize the letters. I also would be surprised if Hayward (or the Hayward's) have their decision made before any meetings.
 
So CP3 met with the Clips today... I sure as hell hope DL is meeting with Hayward prior to July 1... I hope they talking every damn day. You would never know though because we are straight stealth mode most of the time.

It's savage bruh... hey look at these awesome letters... then Gordo lays a steamer on the 7th and 8th graders and breaks all of our hearts.

If they were as good as gone you take the letters and send a private letter saying thank you .... not a social media post.

it doesn't matter what I think. When you're defining a player's floor, and you have 2 years of evidence, then you can work with that to define the floor. The better question, at this point, is why you're making this point so ****ing difficult.
