TOPICS/TIMESTAMPS:
0:00 what this livestream is about -- we're like the old sitcom Cheers "where everybody knows your name", see Muni Long "high-vibrational" IG post about J.Cole: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C1AozK_PoyA
2:05 tipoff!
49:15 I think Moses should take the offer because the market for 2-guards will probably be dry next summer -- then Shams coincidentally announces Moses has accepted the deal
58:00 Kuminga deal probably doesn't happen because it does not make fiscal sense
1:02:00 Draymond: “Anything less than an All-Star is a failure for him.”
1:10:00 Do you guys think that an offer for JK is at the max and do you think JK would sign anything lower than the max?
1:22:30 "do we have money" is always answered with yes, the real question these days is, "do you want to be subject to first and/or second apron?"
1:33:00 if JK were at $45M max, our salaries would be $213M (PHX at $216M)
1:34:15 Franz Wagner will make $38.6M next year so that's your realistic comparable
1:51:30 Lukas Jacob: Does Kuminga still want that 200+ million dollar contract? Or do you think he is willing to take a smaller contract? -- I don't really think it's about that. And ofc if you're JK you want the big money because you know you're gonna be great in the (near) future. Would YOU take a "smaller" contract? trade value right now makes no sense becuase you have to average his current $7m into that trade chip. makes no sense to do that
2:00:15 @Lukas Jacob yeah, you are right. it just doesn't make sense for the Warriors to give Kuminga that huge contract right now. I understand he wants his money, but I feel like he still has to earn that huge contract. -- yeah, but what I'm' saying is the fiscal management of the cap sheet usurps any talk of what he deserves, etc. Another case of cap sheet 101. Just like with markkanen and Wiggs. idk if it's gotten "complicated" per se but it's made GMs very... idk the word, hesitant? But yeah, cap sheets right now are a huge factor in decision-making
2:05:00 Lukas Jacob: but when I am talking about the contract extension for Kuminga, I am just talking about his personal value on the team and what he adds to the team when it pertains to winning -- i do agree there are also valid arguments on that front to not extend JK now, but I just want more fans outside of you to respect the power of the cap sheet lol
2:09:45 Fiebich three to start OT is something I always told teams I coached!
2:13:00 @Lukas Jacob that is why I was hoping Kuminga would be a little flexible in his contract extension right now. But young players now don't want to bet on their future anymore, they want their money immediately. -- yeah but I haven't done my video on it, but it's clear to me that JK is indeed future all-star caliber, so I wouldn't fret too much on that. Lacob won't be trading him, don't worry.
2:16:30 what other teams than GSW would JK have trouble fitting in? BOS, OKC, JK just happens to be stuck playing with Steph
2:20:45 @Lukas Jacob I am a Kuminga fan, but I guess I am just too much of an old head and I feel like a player needs to do more to earn a 200+ million dollar contract. -- the other way to look at it is, to get Giannis (in case Bucks burn), you'd need JK's salary to be up there, so tons of money out there, i more worry these about trade chip value
2:23:00 @Jasmine Dawson: Do you know if PG for Kuminga was ever part of discussions with. Clippers? -- i don't think anybody knows, but my guess is that Lacob knows JK is a future all-star the moment Steph hangs them up, so...
2:25:15 @Lukas Jacob yeah, to get Giannis I can understand your point. but I am looking at it as if Kuminga will be a Warrior for life, is he then worth a 200+ million dollar contract right now. -- yes, because just in case shit hits the fan, you need him to be a trade piece to get a Giannis-level guy or even, at that time in the future, Franz Wagner let's say
