It was the cap jump and Westbrook also . If Russ wasn't insane he probably would have stayed.

I think the one thing I learned from that playoffs and finals is that Kevin love is really good.

He's come a long way since being a 6'5" doofus who gets in the way

He's a legit 6'10" now and is all over that court in positive ways

For the playoffs he shot 45% from 3 on 6.2 attempts and had a 29.7 drb%

So are there any teams that are serious challengers to the Warriors at this point?

The Spurs looked good before the Kawhi injury, maybe if they can move enough contracts to sign CP3 without sacrificing too much depth they have a better chance?

The Cavaliers look stuck unless they decide to seriously reconfigure their roster including the big 3.

Houston isn't close enough, neither are the Clippers if they re-sign CP3.

Warriors could be worse next year and the cavs could be better. Injuries are unpredictable.

Why not just trade the 3 pick for Paul George who is a better and younger player?

No chance of resigning him?

Idk that does make sense

Wouldn't this give them a big rebounding issue?


Trading for George is riskier because all of the he is just going to leave for the Lakers if he gets traded rumors.

Also love has another year (maybe two) more than pg under k.

The stadium ballmwr buys is still funded by money he earned extracting wealth from an under regulated monopoly so it's still publicly financed

Reduce the number of NBA teams while increasing D-league teams. This improves both the quality of pro play, increases the development of players, and gives more stratas of income an opportunity to see basketball.

Half of the teams of ex post facho's list could be development-level teams already. Stop wasting taxpayer money on stadiums for lovely teams (looking directly at the Sacramento Kings) too.

Really? I think the NBA could add 5 or 6 more teams . The talent level is insane right now.

Warriors opening their own stadium .

I don't think the lux tax is an issue. The team is probably worth 3 billion.

Yeah they went 16-1 this season and really were not all that pressed by cle

Worst thing is that they become super susceptible to Foul trouble but as long as they have home court that should be manageable

Can you add protections to another team's pick? Can a pick get multiple layers of protections if it's traded multiple times?

Yes if you own it outright
