Golden State Warriors thread - All Star 5

[Milenko]

So, have you guys moved on? I still can't believe we didn't win it all after the season we had. Still feel like s**t!

I've only ever felt like this once after a sporting event - the Eagles loss in 2005.

No. Still gutted. Game 7 was an utter train wreck.

 

[Kramer1]

Beal and Demar are now $28m per players.

To think not that long ago the supporter base was a little uneasy signing up Klay and Dray at $16m.

Welcome to the new NBA. Not sure I like it.

 

[fidstar]

So, it looks like Barnes is going to be our highest paid player next year.

 

[Kramer1]

Just thought I'd come in early and hang some Welcome KD bunting ahead of the announcement.

 

[fidstar]

KD can be changed to HB pretty easily...

 

[Splash Brother]

Barnes will be signing with the Mavs after KD makes the announcement tomorrow that he will be joining the Warriors.

I'm in the US at the moment and people seem to think it's happening.

 

[Superstar swan]

congratulations..you just won the next 6 championships

 

[fidstar]

Don't like it, but gonna live with it

 

[fidstar]

Not happy we'll lose Bogut. He's the main reason I started watching the Warriors.

 

[fidstar]

Bogut out puts pressure on Ezili to perform (and have his body hold up)

I doubt we'll have the cap space to hold onto Ezeli as well.

WELCOME TO DA BAY OF DREAMS DURANTULA!!!!

Same. I started following because of Chris Webber way back when, but Bogut brought me back as an avid fan. Rusted on now.

Dallas will be a good landing place. Dirk, HB, Bogut, Matthews and Deron is at least competitive.

Yeah not a chance we keep Festus. Reality setting in that we will have a drastically different squad.

 

[Shaxx Attaxx]

I will!

And there it is.............Welcome KD! Goodbye to Barnes, Bogut and Ezeli

 

[Kramer1]

And just to cap off a pretty good morning we add Zaza at about 20 cents on the dollar. About the best outcome possible.

WELCOME KD!

Thank you for your services Bogut and HB. Going to miss the big man, Barnes not so much.

GSW be un-backable Favourites next year.

They could win more then 73 Games next year

 

[Magpie Monopoly]

Great move for GSW, terrible move for KD individually.

This move by the GSW and KD is significantly worse than the big 3 forming in Miami. This type of move says alot about his character and embodies the questions people had about him in OKC. Soft move.

He is going to be one of the most hated sporting figures for a long time

And Warriors gone from Loved to Hated

Meh. I know a lot of people that already hate us.

As it stands I don't know that we are even better. We've given up a lot. Elite rim protection, a couple of quality starters who knew their role and likely the deepest bench in the league. Hard to see us upgrading any of Speights, Barbosa, Ezeli or Rich who all made important contributions at times this year.

Then again it was hard to see Pachulia taking 2.9 as well...

GSW still paying $1.80 for the championship....

 

[mitchzz]

I'll definitely miss Bogut. He was the perfect centre for this team and for Steph and Klay. Hope he gets more minutes/offensive looks at the Mavs but I doubt that. Good luck to HB as well, he seems like a genuine high-character guy and wouldn't be surprised if he averaged 15-17 ppg. this year. Don't think he'll ever be a star though.

In happier news... Welcome KD. Our small ball death line-up is looking otherwordly now.

Agreed. This is bad for the NBA, seriously whats the point? Pathetic
