And now 4yrs $109M for Andrew Wiggins. It is raining cash this Saturday in the Bay!

I watched the 2nd quarter of the last GSW practice match against Nuggies.
Fell asleep smiling. Do yourself a favour if you have 20 mins free
Whatās the point of a salary cap in the NBA?

GSW are a moneymaking juggernaut. Lacob is committed to doing what it takes to keep winning. Last yr internal sources thought it would take 3yr and $100M to land Poole. Looks like his late season heroics netted an extra yr and $40M.
im pretty keen to see how a more attacking minded heat performs. the defence is there, like any spo coached team will have. but jovic looks to be a draft steal. jamal cain looks a likely prospect, max strus to keep developing, herro has the size to take body contact for once, and bam doesnāt look as hesitant to take shots.
if oladipo comes back even 90% of the player he was, im excited.
how do you feel about the GSW abandoning their working class loyal fans of the last few decades?
The moment they changed ownership the writing was on the wall. It sucks for Oakland, especially given they have since been abandoned by the Raiders and in all but an official capacity by the Aās.
Unfortunately US sports is all about return on investment given the ownership model. Fans are only a part of the equation.
Also, this:
Draymond going to be on LA by January?

Heās gonna be so toxic and salty seeing Wiggins and Poole get paid and knowing he wonāt be. Not sure he will be able to wind his ego in.

*Division
No idea how to even work out whatās going to happen this year.
Finals
Clippers vs Nets
Oh, I have no idea. That would obviously be extremely unlikely, but have concerns about so many teams (and there are 10 good teams at least), so thought Iād embrace madness, and back a freakish luck/injury season for these two)
Title : toss a coin.
Obvious MVP choice is Luka, but Giannis is due to win again ā¦
RoTY: Paolo
I donāt think conference standings are going to be super meaningful this year because weāre going to see all time tank jobs
Thereās three competitive divisions - Atlantic, Central and Pacific - and the rest are going to be a race to the bottom.
I think Dallas will come out on top in the West or Minny if they can work out how to make KAT and Gobert work thanks to weak divisional opponents, but Iāll bank on GSW to make it seven out of nine finals.
Bucks out of the East but I think Philly will end up conference champions in what is a stacked conference
Champs GSW
MVP Embiid
West coast conf - GSW vs LAC
East coast conf - Mil vs Phi
Finals - Phi va GSW
Champs - GSW
MVP - Giannis
damn time differences i was a day early
at the dawn of this season i am still thinking about one thing
Steph Curry at the all star game
yeah itās a fuckaround game but i saw this guys ceiling there and what heās like playing relaxed and with confidence
he has enough rings now, and a backing cast that has the winning-it-all confidence that he will bring that peak steph to this season
klay was just getting warmed up last season and was operating at 60% of klayās potential
Wiggins is a play off star and incredible lock down defender on an opposition star and will be better again this season
Poole will only get better with another pre-season under his belt
Looney is such a solid engine room player
They have so many ways to hurt you
Just donāt seeing anybody being able to beat them in a 7 game series.

Wiseman was doing like 24/12 with 3 blocks per 36 in the preseason too
Donāt think Iāll be watching too many Philly games this year.
This is unwatchable basketball from them.
