Paperback Writer posted:Ohhh poo poo. Taking the Ian Clark role, should be fun. Won't be surprised to see a Javale-esque redemption season. You should look up his stats from last year, he was really good and was even trying to play defense

Shear Modulus posted:between javale and swaggy golden state is shrewdly signing all the most likable players to attempt to get people to stop hating them The Warriors need to just take it to the next level and sign some old ballers in their 50s and 60s who never got rings to play a few minutes and take injury settlements. Imagine Karl Malone getting minutes in the NBA this year.

Dutchy posted:I just think the Hayward "well looks like he showed his TRUE COLORS" stuff is funny. His faith in the Thanks City letter and rigid adherence to the plan in the face of leaks is more naive and clumsy than the work of a world-class snake. I wouldn't expect Jazz fans to be happy now that their team is significantly worse but you'd think Hayward had pulled a DeAndre on them The headlines are dramatic, and I don't think he's history worst monster or something. I'm just saying he legitimately didn't handle it very well and made it more painful than it needed to be. People would have been dumb and mad either way but in this case there's at least a little justification. It's also not like Utah is the first fanbase to get mad at a free agent for leaving, I think pretty much every fanbase in the league would react similarly if their team was in the same situation.

Dexo posted:If anything the problem is still that the owners are bad. Yeah the problem is more ownership and management and it's also impossible to make a perfect system (~tHe MaRkEt!!~~ is always gonna produce dumb results and less market means less player freedom of movement or less job security so). The hard thing is that this is a form of entertainment and community bonding, not just an exchange of values between labor and ownership. The fans have real interests too, which are only represented in the current system by proxy through the interplay of ratings/sales/marketing.

Otto Porter shouldn't get the max, but for many teams that have high salaries, they can't just take that same amount of money and spend it on whatever free agent they want instead. Same with Crabbe. He wasn't worth what he was offered, but Portland would have let him walk for nothing and wouldn't have a clear way to replace that production. Not even the Spurs have a guaranteed hit rate on converting second rounders and D-League picks into quality rotation guys.

So are the Warriors doubling down on going small with more 3pt shooting, instead of signing any decent centers? I assume Zaza probably can't get more than the vets minimum, so he should be back. Wouldn't be surprised to see Javale McGee get offered more than the minimum somewhere else Anyway I think that getting more 3pt shooters is a smart move by them, their supporting cast was actually pretty bad at it despite the team's reputation

Not even the Spurs have a guaranteed hit rate on converting second rounders and D-League picks into quality rotation guys. I'm unclear on the timing of everything, but shouldn't their intention of signing Evan Turner theoretically have helped them offset the loss of Crabbe? I didn't understand the point of having both, on top of Dame and CJ made much sense at their price range. I know a lot of Sixers fans were slobbering over the possibility of signing Crabbe last summer, similarly doing so with KCP at the start of this offseason. Signing either player to a max or huge contract just seem(ed) foolish from the getgo.

the rondo one was not as bad as the others since it was so short and the second year only had 3M guaranteed (although it could be argued it looked costlier than the dollar amount since rondo had been a net negative on at least his last two teams)

personally there is no such thing in the NBA as a bad one year deal. Like I wouldn't give much of a poo poo if my team wanted to give like Swaggy P 25 million dollars for one year to just take up salary cap if necessary.

Oh it's definitely not unique to Utah, but it doesn't have to be for the more dramatic stuff to be amusing. Every team has an army of moralizing local columnists, shirsey-burners, and SBNation homophobes ready to go and it's basically always funny when they are called to action
