So GS signing KD to the max then trading him to Brooklyn for Russell?
I can't keep up. -
No, KD and Kyrie are both signing for less than the max so that the Nets can afford to add Jordan toodnc said:So GS signing KD to the max then trading him to Brooklyn for Russell?

Good call. So what is GS giving up for Russell? Seems odd that they're offloading Iggy with a pick if they're having to give up valuable for Russell as well.NEsnake12 said:

Possibly nothing... Nets are also sending them Treveon Graham and Shabazz Napier so I'm guessing it's a salary dump to make the KD/Kyrie/Jordan signings workdnc said:

If I were a Knicks fan I'd have offed myself by now -
Why?dnc said:
This is all tied into their trade exception that they got for Conley ... they got a future 1st out of it when they have no real interest in doing anything from a $$$ standpoint
Iggy will eventually get bought out and head to the Lakers or something like that to chase a ring before retiring at the end of the year.
The only bad thing I see about this from a Grizz standpoint is that they are really going to struggle to not convey a really good pick to Boston eventually. I don't see them exceeding the protections this year and then it becomes whatever the following year. Boston could very easily get a Top 3 pick out of all of this. -
It's Golden State sending the 1st if I read right ... all Memphis is doing is absorbing the salary.dnc said:Nevermind I misread it as three firsts, one mildly protected significantly future first for Iggy is probably okay.

And yes, I no longer hate it for my Grizz. Love it now.
And conveying the Boston pick has been well established as a problem for a long time. It's a massive issue. -
When you enter into a Sign and Trade, you essentially enter into a "hard cap" for the following year at something around $140M ... because of the obligations that the Warriors have on the books plus Russell's deal the $17M+ that Iggy has doesn't fit at all.dnc said:

Yeah, @Tequilla is right. Nets gets a trade exception, like the one Memphis just used to get Iggy.Tequilla said:

The pick Memphis got is great. Nothing they can do about the pick they gave up to Boston now, they’re doing a great job rebuilding regardless.
I appreciate the fuck out of what Golden State is trying to do here but I am not a fan. Russell isn’t that good and he stinks defensively. They have no wings, their guards can’t guard anyone. We don’t know what Klay will look like when he comes back, if he can’t guard 3s, holy shit are they in trouble. I see the point in it, they didn’t have a lot of ways to get better but I think they outsmarted themselves on this one.
I also think this is a sign that they are not resigning Draymond. They are going to run his ass into the ground next season.
