    I wonder if Neil has contacted any other team's GM and told them, that if they make an offer to Laymen just above his qualifying offer, that Portland will not match?

    So Klay will have to go to the 3 when he comes back if D-Lo is in fact gonna be a Warrior? Defensively that lineup is getting a lot worse.

    Russell to GSW - DONE. AGREED TO.

    Woj: Golden State and Brooklyn have agreed on a sign-and-trade, sending D’Angelo Russell to the Warriors on a four-year, $117M maximum contract, league sources tell ESPN.

    I’m fine with GS getting DLo and KD going East, even if he’s not playing this season.

    Golden State has to unload salary elsewhere to make this sign-and-trade happen --- which means Andre Iguodala could be on the move, league sources tell ESPN.

    I would love so much for the Lakers to not get Kawhi now. Russell was their back up target.

    yeah, if you add someone in S&T, you can not cross 138 at all. If they shed Iggy, they will get under, yes. It just makes roster maneuvers a pain in the ass

    Losing Durant and picking up a young guy who was an all star last year, while Klay is out all season isn’t impressive?

    And possibly playing Klay as a small forward when he returns.

    Not if you don’t think Russell is particularly good.
