    He's under contract for two more years, CJ.

    Can you tweet that back to him, BigGameDamian?

    No eye emoji, the obvious sign of recruitment.

    The time is coming when GS will not be able to shell out the money to keep all these guys

    Their owners are pretty rich. There's no rule that prevents it.

    Pretty sure he is just saying that after Klay wins another ring and realizes he can make way more money than taking cuts with golden state for years while being the number 1 option of a team, he is out. He will always be 3rd or 4th wheel on this team and he either will want to win more rings or get a huge contract and being the spotlight of a team that maybe wont win rings because he will be content with 2 or 3 at that point.

    I think CJ is just sowing the seeds of discontent. He is taking classes at Harvard business school right now.

    I'd rather just save the money and take notes from C Montgomery Burns.

    This is weird because I literally had a dream last night that we traded CJ for Klay Thompson. Olshey was quoted afterwards with "It's time to get after it".

    A couple of us took serious flak for daring to suggest to trade Matthews for Thompson back before he blew up.

    I remember PapaG's righteous outrage over suggestions of trading Travis Outlaw for Kyle Lowry.

    I should ask him on Twitter if he still finds that trade, circa 2008, an absurd one.

    I wanted Matthews and other stuff for OKC's Harden.
    I still think think it was possible becuase Wes was so much better than fucking Kevin Martin.

    LOL is there a class that teaches recruiting other players via tweets by throwin the BS in copious quantities and hoping something sticks?

    I was thinking more of CJ sneaking the idea into Klay's head and thus hastening the break up of the Warriors. Not bringing Klay here.

    Remember when he paid people to do dumb shit like ride Homer like a horse?

    Me as a billionaire would be a disaster because I'd do that general thing. No horseback riding dudes most likely but you get the idea.
