Warriors 16-17 Season

Jimmy Butler is reportedly asking for a trade to the Cavs.

This would require Cavs trade Kevin Love and draft picks. Not sure Bulls take that deal. Celtics have way more picks to give Bulls for Butler.

Cavs don't have a first round pick until, what, 2020? Also overpaying JR and TT really screwed them.
 
KD declining player option in order to sign for less money so the Dubs can keep Iguodala.

Love it.
 
Strange that the Cavs are parting ways with their GM. He gave LeBron everything he asked for last season. Granted, he can only get the best that was available at the time (i.e. Deron Williams).

Wonder how long Lue will last? He seemed like a deer in the headlights at times.
 
Not sure if Dr Evil is a good coach or if he was just blessed with great talent (including assistants). Same with Kerr, his team does just fine without him.

I guess it'll come down to whether it pleases His Majesty to keep Lue around.

It's not about giving what Lebron wanted. LeBron actually likes griffin and was upset he was never put on a contract to begin with. This could definitely sway things towards LeBron leaving cleveland next year.

I don't blame him, he brought home his ring. I think it'd be cool to see him team up with DWade/Melo/CP3

I'm astounded at the news. Three Finals, three years straight, including a ring. Meanwhile, Lue stays, and he does seem clueless but maybe he's a fireball behind the scene. I have to qualify it by pointing out that weird scene when the Dubs beat the Cavs and they fired Blatt mid-season and how unsettling that was. Of course it worked out for them but....

I am really interested in watching the rest of the league proceed with their trading and drafting plans in response to Dubs and Cavs successes. But this firing, I dunno....A part of me would enjoy the schadenfreude of LeBron going to LA or something. All that Defend the Land bit, POOF! But I know, that's mean.

I still ponder Steph going to the Hornets just for the hell of it. No, of course I dont WANT it to happen but wouldn't that be an adjustment for us!?!?! Anybody have a real good handle on the talents of his brother? I only saw him in a few games...

Lakers traded Russell and Mozgov to the Nets for whichever Lopez they had and a draft pick.

Let the Big Baller show begin!

Wow, The Nets!?!?!? Man, I'm feelin' the adrenaline. It's like a different sport by the same league right after the Finals!!!!

Guess they're gettin all ready for LaMar Ball and, uh, his son. I don't care how good the kid is, I'd stay away from that outfit no matter. All stage moms and all-star league dads have been swept away by Ball. And of course the media has to tell me about it so I know...

Ball is actually decent.

Mozgov was an awful contract they attached Russell to in order to move.

Lakers are going to suck next year and try to push hard for George and/or LBJ.

That's the likely scenario. Think the lakers have been selling low on Lonzo so he's there at #2. I really want George to go to Boston.

Even if Lebron and George pair with Lonzo in a full year, Lebron will be 34 and Lonzo doesn't play defense.


Be interesting to see who the warriors go after, draft or free agent. Hope Iggy and, Livingston, , David west too.
 
Warriors paid the Chicago Bulls $3.5 million for the 38th pick in the NBA Draft for C Jordan Bell from Oregon.

Been hearing that he is a beast of a defensive player and perfect for the Dubs.

That the guy has shot so very few baskets got my attention (newspaper story), but dubs management has a pretty good track record, so what do I know....
 
Timberwolves gonna be fun team to watch with Wiggins, KAT, and newly acquired from the Bulls Jimmy Butler. Lots of offense on that team now.

Warriors pick, Bell, supposed to be a major defensive player. Can supposedly defend all positions, just what the warriors look for in their switching defense. Might be an Iggy replacement if he doesn't stay.

Defensive range is everywhere, great explosiveness, and great in teh paint. His post game is further along than a lot of 1st rounders. His jumper past 12-15 ft. is wack. He'll improve it and we know he can cause he went from 50% FT% to 70% in one year.

This time last year the Ws snagged Pat McCaw from the Bucks. Maybe it's too much to ask but I hope Bell works out just as well.

When your friends and family learn you are going to play on the team that is light years ahead of the others...

What? No more Jim Barnett? He was great! Please give us somebody to balance out Fitz.
