    Nurkic is the third scorer we needed and he'll get better and we got a pick that we packaged with our pick for Collins.

    So- for Steve Blake and RHJ, he got us Nurk/Collins/Connaughton.

    I sense some Xanax induced optimisms. Unflappable.

    Yah... no.
    Cho may be a nice guy, but he's not a good GM.

    Dame asked for help.

    Dame is the franchise.

    He's probably asked for help since Aldridge left. Neil is throwing jabs at thin air. Fuck him, fire his fucking ass. Go big or go home motherfucker.

    We need a GM that will take a take a cold, calculated look at this roster and make moves to improve the team. Dame won't tolerate another year of this garbage roster as we wait for some miracle of expiring contracts in 2020. You got to stretch some of those deals or attach them with our pick this summer at the very least.

    I hate the narrative that it's a forgone conclusion the Warriors are winning the next 2 championships so lets just sit this out. That's the thinking of the Sacramento Kings. We need to act like the Rockets or the Thunder.

    What if Dame is the one who wanted to keep roster as is... maybe that’s what he told Paul Allen in meeting... who knows

    I don't understand how people can't have an opinion either way on keeping him or letting him go...Are these people Swiss? Let's say you have a gun to your head and you have to choose between firing him or keeping him...Which would it be?...Come on all you on the fence people...take a side!..

    The first mistake was not trading Aldridge back in 2013. It was all downhill from there.

    I can confidently say he's not happy with the roster. Sure he likes them personally, but he asked how the team could improve in the meeting with PA (these were Lillard's own words). Safe to say, the only thing that improved today was the Allen's bottom line.

    Eh.....

    They're paying Dwight 23.5 million for this year and next year.

    They're paying Batum $22 mill, $24 million, $25.5 million, and finally $27 million over the next four years.

    They're paying Marvin Williams $13 million, $14 million, and $15 million over the next three years.

    They're paying MKG $13 million each of the next three years.

    They're paying Cody Zeller $12 million, $13 million, $14 million, and $15 million over the next four years.

    That all happened under Cho. So while our financial situation isn't great, their is worse because their two most paid players are fucking Dwight Howard and Nic Batum. Our two highest players are Dame and CJ.
