Well… I’ll let y’all figure out what this means for us for the next two seasons.

    This is a prediction, not even a sources tell me.

    While this would be awesome, and I’d love to see it, I’d like for it to happen before I count any chickens.

    How reliable is this “prediction”?

    Either way, 22mil+ per year…….damn. For a passed-their-prime star who can’t play defense like he used to. Thats rough. All love to Klay. Forever a legend. But man. I hope this prediction is wrong.

    Prob not by Warriors if it’s that much im guessing?

    This is exactly what everybody’s been saying the whole time and this will be exactly what the Warriors and Klay and Steph and everybody wants, so yeah let’s do it!!!

    By the numbers, this accounts as a good deal.

    However, the team needs a face-lift. As-is they are not a playoff team, let alone a contender.

    “Bleacher Report’s Greg Swartz predicts the 34-year-old will sign a two-year, $46-million deal to remain with the Warriors.”

    We love Klay. I’d rather be cooked as a team with Klay than cooked as a team without Klay.

    …….if this is true.

    2 years is the remaining length of Curry and Kerrs contracts too

  9. Not even “sources familiar with the situation,” just a prediction. This is completely meaningless.

    This would be perfectly fine with me. If this happened it wouldn’t take much to get under the second apron to allow the Warriors to combine contracts to bring in a player. second apron will be around 189-190MM. There might be a way back below the second apron. You could trad Gui and his 2MM for a second round pick. You could also try to work out an extension with GPII—perhaps something like 4MM for 3-4 years. That would get you right there to a rounding error.

    I’ve been vocal about getting Lavine for roster scraps. If you did the above you could still do it, trading Looney and CP3 for Lavine. Then I would look to upgrade Wiggins by trading him out with a pick or two.

    First Unit

    PG: Steph

    SG: Lavine

    SF: Wiggins (or replacement)

    PF; Draymond

    C: TJD (or TPMLE)

    Second Unit

    PG: Podz

    SG: GPII

    SF: Moody

    PF: Klay

    C: TJD (or Vet Min)

  12. Im down with that 46 million over…. 4 years 🙂

    3 years at 46 is very fair and makes sense for both sides. If someone wants to pay him 20 then yeah, let them.
