Everyone is still asleep. Now, Klay next.
Insane that contract. Were still cooked but just gotta enjoy curry ig. Hopefully we can pull moves off that give him better options to help
Amazing fit, he made the right move. But fuck paying that much lol
That’s a lot of money.
So happy he left the bum ass clippers
200 mil for a man who cant Avoid getting injured. Happy for the guy but idk why we wanted him
People angry that we missed out on PG13 – this contract is going to look as bad as Beal’s in about, oh, 9 months…
Wonder if he’ll have at least have one healthy off season with them
so glad we didn’t take on that ridiculous contract
Thats a lot of fucking money, either way their probably gonna be one of the teams in the east to beat or another 2nd round L
a player not mentioned as a possible free agent target is harris who george basically replaces now in the sixers starting line up going forward
harris is 31 years old wing who had a down 2023/24 but the previous 4 seasons with the 76ers he averaged
17.7 pts 6.5 reb 3.1 ast on 49/38/85 splits in 34 minutes while playing in over 70 games over that span
yet even again in a down season he still averaged 17.2 pts 6.5 reb 3.1 ast on 49/35/88 splits in 2023/24
i haven’t heard much of a market for harris in terms of him signing a long term deal … reports are teams like the spurs, jazz, pistons, & even mavs have shown some interests
suffice to say only the mavs are seen as contenders & they wouldn’t to be able to offer him more than what the warriors could which is i think around 13 million since the warriors are now eligible to use the mid level exception
i guess fit wise i don’t know where harris would play but if the warriors were willing to trade for george who are basically the same size physically & play a similar type way … i mean is it possible you can have harris, kuminga, green playing in the starting 5 and it working
but i’d be surprised if the warriors front office didn’t show at least some interest in him internally
Holy fuck that’s a lot for PG13 at that age and how injury prone he is
Good for him but damn that’s a crazy ass deal.
Warriors offered Moody, CP3, Kuminga, and a 1st round pick for him and the Clippers let him walk for nothing just so they wouldn’t help an in division rival. Yikes. Can’t say I’m not glad to not have that albatross of a contract on our team though.
$50m a year just to exit by the second round again. That’s crazy
More players should move to the east 🙏
If that means Boston won’t repeat, I’m all for it
I think what we need ain’t stars, but role players that contribute. If we manage to find some good fits, we may still be really good
