    There was a tweet to dame a couple days ago that said Dame stared at him and then walked away. Dame replied to him and said something to the effect of "My ankle was damn near broken. Don't be that guy."

    A teen with a chance to win a championship. A team with Wall, Porter, Beal, and Cousins is definitely a contender.

    I don't think the Warriors will break up. I think the tax is overstated as an issue. You can pay guys 5-12 a total of $20M. And you could likely have some good bargains in there because it is a contender.

    GS is projected to pay 90 MIL in TAX this summer and 140 MIL in TAX next summer. That is no small potatoes. A team like GS could probably go for it for at least two years. A team like WAS who even with that lineup isn't winning a title couldn't imo.

    Depends on the owner. Mahinmi had a high salary for the next couple years. Trading him, Gortat, and picks for Cousins would see pretty much no increase in salary thks year and next year. The problem would be when Walls extension kicks in, but the extra revenue from a
    Cousins the year prior to that jump and fit that year could definitely help pay the tax. Depends on the owner, but I could see someone trying to make that work. They could always try to trade Otto Porter in a couple years when Wall's salary increases to save money and sign a solid, cheap veteran to replace him. They wouldn't have a money problem fit the next two years.

    I find it hard to believe that he and Gasol weren’t getting along. Obviously i have no idea but I knew Fizdale back in San Diego and he’s the nicest, most engaging and easy to get along with guy you’ll meet.

    So they picked a guy who is going to retire in a year or 2 over a promising coach?
