No Decepticon in history, and I say this with great surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly.
I'd say Cleveland, Boston, and Washington are the top 3 with Miami next if they get Hayward and re-sign Kobe Wade. Then Milwaukee and Charlotte. After that, who knows.

Seems kind of risky for J.J. Redick, who's played next to Chris Paul for the past several seasons, to go to a very young team with a rookie point guard for a one-year deal at age 33

Hope it works out though

Warriors to offer Iggy something in the range of 3 years 40 million supposedly

1 year 23 million is a ton of loving money. And unless he gets hurt he'll get another contract next year.

On the other hand Redick's usage and counting stats should go up this year, which will help convince some team to sign him to that big 3-4yr contract to end his career

Not to mention $23M is probably the most he'd earn in 17-18 under any deal

Durant is taking the 1+1 deal @ a 7 mil discount or so, then. Next year he'll opt out and resign with early bird rights for a full Max.

Doesn't seem risky at all to take $23m for one year of work on a team that desperately needs your exact skill set in their line up.

Keeping iggy is something the warriors need to do but they have to be worried that iggy is going to lose his bounce like he did at the beginning of this past season right?

Yeah, its hard to get the time in for the kind of workouts that make you look chiseled since during the season, most of the workout time is going to be skill and strategy focuses. I'm not one of those guys saying they don't lift or whatever, but that lifting is less important during the season than other things and gets lower priority.

Yes, what's your point? Iggy was in great shape and played well in the playoffs, especially the finals. He's going to be a year older but I doubt he's falling off a cliff next year
