    I don’t know. I would be very cautious if I were Klay Thompson about anything that organization tells him.

    Who cares. They have like 5 open roster spots that they have to fill. So every single scrub Gs signs now cf’s is gonna be like ohhhh wowwwwww. I guess y’all are conditioned to it but give me a break with this stuff

    Possibly, but it won't be because we didn't have WCS. Capela is long and athletic too and how much of an advantage was that for us? Is WCS better than Capela, who we still have?

    There are a bunch of teams that could use a quality defensive center that obviously weren't willing to pony up any money because WCS isn't that guy. Boston needs a big man and signed Daniel Theis to a contract more than double WCS' salary. That tells you how quality he is.

    They’ve owned us year after year so wouldn’t take them lightly. I get that losing Durant is a blow for them but let’s not act like we haven’t gotten worse and older every year since Chris Paul got here.

    That’s great. Not worried about them this season that’s for sure. When and if klay is back up to speed in 2020 let’s talk

    GS are now planning to use Playing Time Strategy to induce free agents.
    If GS are the winner of rest of free agent market and buyout market, they could be the title contender again.

    They can deal Russell/Stein for two all star level players.

    payroll
    Russell 27 million
    Stein 3 million

    Yes they beat us even without KD.... some people came up with excuses like if KD weren't from the beginning we would have won...that's just a wishful thinking whereas the evidence is GS beat us without KD in one game on our home court and in another game's 4th quarter( after KD got injured). Plus they have added all star DeAngelo and adding other pieces.

    How many of those 29 FOs are promising fireworks? How many of those 29 GMs are always on national sports radio pumping sunshine up everyone’s ass?

    WCS is better than Capela. Clint can easily be replaced.

    Oh, Butler isn’t coming? GSW signed WCS? He sucks! What’s the big deal?

    Yes he is better. And I can say that in confidence. I may not watch a lot of Kings games...but I have seen Hartenstein play plenty enough.

    Were people really saying WCS is better than Capela or are you literally making stuff up to make some kind of point? People were dreaming of Deandre Jordan taking a discount to come with Butler, or maybe snatching Looney away from GS. No one was wanting WCS.

    The same years they’ve been winning championships? Maybe it is a biggie. Maybe having more than one center on your roster is beneficial in some way.

    You mean playing Shumpert, Harden, and Tucker at backup Center isn’t beneficial? Don’t tell MDA that.

    I have been wanting WCS for years because checked al the boxes coming into the league. He has been with the Kings (dysfunctional program). A second chance with his undeniable talent is worth more then a veteran minimum. DM missed this one.
