Everyone except dray
The Warriors don't win the championship without both Wiggins and Poole
If you draft players and develop them into stars you should be able to keep and pay them. Same goes with if you trade for a player and resurrect their careers you should be able to sign them.
They so mad they were wrong
Hopefully Poole can fill Steph curry’s shoes
With money.
Trade em for draft picks
Checkbook win babyyyyyy
Teams shouldn't even worry about what the warriors are payin. Nobody wanted Wiggins so no one should care. If teams wanted poole, they could have drafted him.
Let them owners in GS spend the money they are making off of the players. That is the way it should work!
I’d laugh if Draymond opt out no one will pay him $25 a year
Its a shame the NBA penalizes you to keep and pay the players you draft and develop with hilarious tax penalties. The warriors shouldnt be penalized for drafting Steph, Klay, Dray, and JP. The bucks shouldnt be paying the same tax by signing Giannis if they made a big splash for Beal or some other super max player. Its the big markets that have to overpay for free agents or build teams from 2 FA stars that should be affected by the luxury tax the most. I'd like to see a fix to this in the next CBA. Give teams an advantage when they draft and pay their stars! Dont matter though, GS is about winning championships, not bottom lines.
Ngl probably gonna trigger the Steph gang and don't get me wrong, he's in my top 10 and I think can get to as high as 3 alltime behind LeBron and MJ. But besides last year, he's really gotten a buttload of help.
2015 Kyrie and Love out
2016 Klay game 6 to extend conference finals and a bad finals
2017 most stacked team in modern history.
2018 Spurs no Kawhi, Pelicans no Cousins, down 3-2 CP3 hurt.
Lebron with no Kyrie undermanned.
Like as good as he is , he doesn't have that 1 season that he was from start to finish who I'd call the best in the league.
Money. That’s how.
Draymond gone lol he not getting the max
Answer: By being in debt.
Malika needs a new career
Warriors are so good at development. Wiggins took a pay cut, but other than him all of their top earners are home grown.
Golden State will win the NBA title this season
FU Bob! U guys gonna give the parents of the kids dancers finals tickets this season you cheap bastids!?! STFU about family unless u treat ur family this way. Parents waiting 8 hrs OUTSiDE for game to be over? We got tickets to finals for Toronto Finals. What happened last year ya greedy faks? Ohhhh I guess giving nosebleed parents tickets would prevent u from signing Wiggins and poole? This year don’t meet the parents and BS us and say we family! See u at the ring ring ceremony. Wait! Are the kinds even getting their ring like last time? I’ll wait and see.
Gsw is trash , they won the chip the year Lebron is out . Just in 2021 curry lost to Lebron James in the play in 🤦🏽♂️ if curry runs into Lebron again , Lebron is going to give them the broom, lakers in 4 WCF
GREEN IS THE ODD MAN OUT
Cancel malika andrews
When you have a venue that brings in $2B a year you can afford it. The owners get it. Plus something is going to change in the NBA. Teams should not be penalized for paying homegrown talent. Watch for that to shift instead of Luxury Tax money going to the teams that don't spend. **my edit was the amount Chase center made last year.
dreymond gave the warriors a discount with that punch he has no leverage especially with a poor performance in the finals no other team will pay dreymond over 22/23 million dollars his play is
declining n no team will pay max for somebody that can’t even get u 10/gm especially with all the baggage that comes with him he is now in a position we’re he has to take wat they give him (hence the warriors closing deals on Poole & Wiggins a wk after the situation with Poole)
Saw Malika Andrews (boooo) and immediately regretted clicking on the vid. Gonna give it a thumbs down, and not gonna finish watching it
Poole wit the million dollar jaw 🤕 👊
$268 million in luxury taxes is a crazy high number. You know you are super rich when you can pay that off plus pay an entire NBA team
its still really stupid that teams are taxed just because they want to pay and keep their drafted players. i can understand taxing the F out of trades and stuff. But i think teams who draft, develop and ultimately want to keep their players should not be taxed on the same level as traded players. its one thing to make a winning team with traded/free agency talent. its a whole different level when its drafted and developed players as ur core for a winning team. i think most fans have more respect for drafted teams. look at giannis with the bucks. he lead his team there. lebron went back to Cleveland and got it done there. it means more for the fans and the franchise as a whole. does anyone even talk about the Toronto chip these days? even the one lebron won in the bubble…no one really talks about that either.
Who says you can't buy rings, let's goooo
Create a culture of unselfish players.. and where the fanbase appreciates you, yes you can get these players to stay. then there are some players who only care about the highest $$ and immediately jumps to the most $$ they can make. It's an ego thing. Guys like Poole and especially Wiggins are showing they are unselfish in taking a pay cut to win championships.
How can they afford their players?? You guys ever heard of Silicon Valley? The tech capital of the world?
480 million dollars of basketball related income in 2021 and salary expenses of 480 million dollars. This owners group wants to win over profit because they make their money everywhere else. When their ceiling ends they will have made the most out of having their big three.
At 3:12…did Woj drop a figurative Woj Bomb? 😂
Warriors took care of THEIR draft picks. Nobody wanted Andrew Wiggins until now. Warriors telling other NBA owners to go kick rocks and spend some money.
there should be a discounted luxury tax if you resign your own DRAFTED players.
Fans will pay $25 just for a burger at warrior games and $10 for fries.
Reminds me of the 2014 Spurs,except Steph is still playing at an MVP level. 6 rings is very possible
The voiceless geology individually knit because wall rationally promise failing a parched rod. sedate, deep customer
Teams shouldn’t be penalized for developing their players. Paying 400 plus in tax over players you drafted is ridiculous
There owner is billionaire….
The warriors must make a lot of money to even pay this amount of money
I think people are really pissed that warriors owners got real racks & will do their best to keep a winning team together 😂😂😂😂
How sway ? How they have 5 100+ million players? What happened to the salary cap?
why tax is higher than the actual salary?
This is the year for JP because the league has footage on his game, time to show this cash wasn't in vain ☺️
I don’t understand why or how draymond could possibly think he deserves more money? Dude is getting into his mid 30’s, I don’t even think he’s worth $27 million anymore. Guy should just be grateful to be making that much money to begin with. I couldn’t imagine making $1,000,000 a year, let alone 27 mil lol. And draymond ain’t even worth 27 mil anymore
GSW cant pull the plug on the chips on the bench. Owners must find ways to offset luxury tax. Call in the tax lawyers and accountants and figure it out. It wont just be Draymond who will need to be traded if they dont develop other tools to address luxury tax..
Who has more insight into how to neutralize GSW offense than Dray?
