    I feel like when people were watching Warriors and posting in this form, they were saying things like “Wish we had a guy like GP2.” Now we do and people are upset.

    I like the best case scenario of Nurk and if we get him for the roughly 17M then I think we have enough versatility to make up for it. But Nurk is the one true thing that will hold us back from ever going far IMO. You CANNOT win a title in this league right now when you have a lumbering C.

    I think it’s part of a KD deal, either for KD or for BS to enable BKN to get Bam in a deal.

    Ant is not signed. They’ve just made an agreement. They could still turn it into a S&T.

    Do we still have money to sign Nurk to a 14-17mil a year deal?

    No, Torey and Eric said we can't trade Ant until January.

    Hart doesn't seem to think he's going.

    False. Nothing official until the moratorium is over.

    I'm going to withhold my thoughts until the offseason is over. I think there's more coming.

    I think we're trying to go after Durant.

    Maybe there is no bigger deal ? GP2 is simply a much better Elleby? The best defender we could add.

    Does this deal work?

    Blazers get Simmons
    Brooklyn gets Ayton
    Heat get KD
    Suns get me

    We have his Bird rights. Can sign him to a 30mil a year deal if we want.

    Suns can’t afford your may extension.

    Maybe GP2 will fill in at backup center.

    Torey and Eric are wrong. Ant hasn’t been signed yet. None of these players have. I believe July 6th is the first day contracts can be signed.
