4:30 looking at Donovan Mitchell's path towards free agency potentially matching up with the Warriors (Donovan has been unbelievable through 9 playoff games with the Cavs this playoffs) -- THIS WAS CORRECTED, SEE WAY BELOW
8:30 Steph Curry would probably be the only guy in the NBA to, if legal (ergo I need to ask a salary cap guy next time I get the chance), take a minimum in 2026-27 then have his contract balloon after that -- this is because we would like Draymond to remain a Warrior as long as possible
10:00 on Donovan being available in Summer 2026: every kid coming through AAU dreams of being an UFA
15:15 apparently having Steph's salary jump IS illegal, okay, so then we trade Klay or Dray then to make space oh well
19:45 my dream ref lineup tonight for DAL-OKC: Foster, Williams, Malloy
23:00 the real problem was Klay getting paid $43M, transaction-wise
29:00 I think we're done with old guys, for example Gordon Hayward on a minimum, even my idea from last live with Kyle Anderson (Derrick Jones, Jr.) I'm worried about being too old or slow, let's turn it over to the youth, let's go 51% "get the ball to (a young guy) rather than Steph/Klay"
35:00 @Dean Chambers can MIN offer Anderson more? -- Yeah they can, but DEEP into tax. $10-11m to Slo-Mo means you're wiring Adam Silver $30 million extra, also MIN looks good with Naz Reid in there. Kyle may be expended.
40:30 as a former coach, I LOVE watching the Pacers 2nd unit full-court press, on TJ McConnell, I saw Indy beatwriter Steve Agness complain at the end of G2 that TJ was on the bench again, and that just goes to show you, veteran NBA coaches it's like steering a cargo ship in the bay, so Carlisle is just like Kerr is just like ____ is just like all or most NBA coaches
53:30 Luka yells at James Williams but Gucci is too happy to care, i.e., best rapport for a ref in the NBA, therefore best ref in the NBA
1:02:45 @Robby Bautista what's the goal of GSW? -- Just get better, which Dunleavy spelled out as defense, size, and shooting
1:11:00 Carlisle 2nd unit full-court press enabled OG Anunoby to strain his hamstring
1:12:30 on Jonathan Kuminga's brother Alexandre continuing to grow in his trainer's IG clips
1:16:00 Vogel got fired, but they should've fired Beal lol jk
1:18:00 on seeing these playoff teams getting younger, we should maybe try to fill a vet min spot with a young guy and develop him, shift GSW strategy to 51% youth
1:20:00 good teams are sometimes boring
1:24:00 on Nuggets and Wolves, BOS-MIA was 0-2, we don't think they're done, Dean says Jokic just needs to score more
1:34:00 JK is untouchable. Why? Because Top 7 picks are like startup companies going IPO, you don't sell your shares before it goes IPO, you literally want his salary to pop so he becomes a tradeable star asset in Year 6
1:38:00 Dean Chambers: You can't recoup Kuminga's value until he reaches a bigger contract. We all know how well we played when he was playing big minutes
1:53:00 if you hate the process and want Steve Kerr fired all the time, you should be equally outraged that Steph's process has no selling of calls or arguing with refs, and the result is less free throws and therefore points and therefore wins
1:55:45 Do you think Steph did more politicking with the refs this past season?
No (same as before this season) (53%)
idk/abstain (33%)
Yes (13%)
Poll complete: 15 votes
2:04:00 Jaylen Brown the trade talk if BOS doesn't win the championship is precisely why you keep JK and extend him for a lot of money
2:30:00 we figured out how the extension for JK will work (similar to Donovan Mitchell which means we will NOT be able to be in the running for Mitchell as a UFA)
2:45:00 Dean suggests vet center as the 3rd center such as Drummond, I say nah, go full youth
2:48:30 on Middleton (33) for Wiggs/Moody, I say go all-in on youth
2:59:00 on Brandon Ingram, we just don't think the Pelicans will trade him and how would the transaction go anyways? JK would have to be in the deal for them to do it
3:01:00 on what the Warriors need to work on: defense, when Steph gets blitzed, still 6th-best last 41 record
