FUCK
Well Shit… Guess it’s Lauri season now?
LOL THE DREAM IS OVER FUCK
Well shit. And it’s gone.
He could still sign and trade to us, but that hard caps us at first apron. Doable but if he was going to do that would have done the opt in and trade to give us more cap flexibility.
Moving on.
mmmm I can smell the 11th pick in next years draft
Send all the picks to Utah
fuck
Klay is gonna post that you couldn’t live with yourself meme by Free Agency tomorrow isn’t he
Klay rn
Whatever
No player wants to come here. Even Dario Saric wanted to wait last minute for other teams to take him before committing last year lol
Probably has an agreement with the Clippers already. His agent was possibly using the Warriors as leverage. Oh well, anyways…
So we don’t get PG, lose Klay, and alienate Wiggs. Trifecta
we’re fucking cooked
God I’d hate to be Dunleavy right now. How do you improve this team?
“Cap space” teams, based on Sportrac numbers:
– PHI $60M
– DET $60M
– ORL $55M
– UTA $45M
– OKC $40M
– SAS $36M
Dammit. If CP3 gets cut rather than traded I don’t know how Dunleavy is going to make this roster much better.
lmao PG dont want to play with Steph. Enjoy being a ringless stat padding bum
DEEP. FUCKING. FRIED.
Clippers are still going to pay him, like I’ve been saying.
Fuck clippers. Lose him for nothing then
Yeah this team is cooked. Teams aren’t gonna help us via trade. Just not happening. The reality has been sitting in our faces for years now.
Front office used this as a facade so they’d have an excuse to cut salary.
Now we get to watch Steph probably struggle to carry garbage for another year, waste his time and miss the playoffs again. Exciting stuff.
So Zach Lavine it is, poor Steph
we gon lose Cp3 for nothing
Get Ingram lol
As disappointing as this might be for us, this is way worse news for the Clippers lol
I got downvoted for saying that there are too many leaks for this to have been a done deal.
We’re cooked. Hope you guys are ready for a loooong season
Don’t see us even making play in next season seriously wonder how steph feels about this
This season might be worst than the last if we keep status quo
The fact that so many of you think Lauri is even a realistic possibility is just sad and annoying
Isn’t playing alongside Stephen Curry attractive anymore?! 🤯
I didn’t want PG anyway.
We need to start over and go young. Ask Steph what he wants to do: retire a warrior or get traded somewhere to get another chip. He’s earned that right.
Man so this is how it’s gonna end? We can’t even get a star back to help Curry at least for his final career moments. Klay is gonna be gone more than likely as well after seeing/hearing all the buzz of us not wanting to work with him anymore to instead pursue PG who pulled a turntable on us.
Our last genuine resort is to look for a really good role player that’s near all star level and possibly use Wiggs as a package or just ride it out next szn without Klay and the roster semi the same
The roller coaster on this sub is hilarious.
Am I the one of the only ones who wasn’t crazy about this anyways? Another older player who’s injury prone? Meh
I for one am glad.
Well, it was a long shot anyway, and not to mention he’s an aging star, as well as someone who usually doesn’t show up in the playoffs.
I’m the type of guy that will buy a Lotto ticket, knowing I won’t win, but because I COULD win, I spend a day or two daydreaming about winning, and that was what my $2 bought me. This PG stuff kinda felt like that for a day.
Jonathan Kuminga, this is your season to break the fuck out.
