    Without Capela we wouldn't be in the WCF Game 7, Outplayed Towns, Gobert, At times Draymond, Nobody embarrasses Draymond like Capela blocking Draymond dunks.

    The package of Klay and LeBron is something Morey could try to sell Magic so we could sign Paul George

    Klay loves it in Oakland, and he's willing to take less money there to keep the team together.

    No, he’s not and his dad has said that

    Klay will make all nba next year and should be eligible for the super max if I am not mistaken. He won’t take a cut

    Let’s just go after Zlay Thompson, his brother, for much cheaper.

    Or a track from his new musical Small Ball 2: Let's Get Smaller.

    Except that he's willing to take pay cut to stay with GSW. He loves the Bay Area and they love him back.

    Perfect fit but just a tough tough sell. Same with PG, dude is the perfect fit but its so hard to get room for him. Klay is the better fit for this offense but PG is a dog on defense. CP3/(Harden)/PG13/PJ Tucker/Capela... thats a nasty defense dude. In fact Harden can rest and if we resign Ariza (I believe we do and for cheap) then you have CP3/PG13/Ariza/PJ/Capela.

    Sorry im getting off topic.

    Good fit but tough to get him here. I don't think he's necessarily one of Hardens boys. Hes kind of different. I think hes honest with being content in Oakland for cheap.

    Paul George is 27 years old, Harden is 28, I watched Paul George Highlights. Paul George can create on offense, slash to the basket, Shoot 3 pointers, makes great passes to Steven Adams, imagine his passes to Capela, he guards the best player on the opposing team. Ariza is 32 years old and his athleticism in shot blocking and lateral defense works on certain players but not Superstars. Paul George plays great against Durant.

    Morey's next genius move is to negotiate a buyout of Ryan Anderson for $20-25 million so we can trade him or waive him ourselves without giving up the whole store and being stuck with him clogging up the cap for 5 years.

    His money is still on the cap with a buyout and waive. They can either trade him, stretch him or keep him.

    My opinion is he will be traded one way or the other. Even if "at worst" it is for players with 1 year less on their contract.

    Ryan Anderson trade for 2 contracts at 10 mil each, than trade those contracts for 2nd rd draft picks

    trade ryan and a 1st rd pick, for a non guaranteed contract almost worth ryan's contract, then waive the player with that non-guaranteed contract. last year, i believe the pacers were willing to take on a player with salary in order to get a 1st rd pick and get rid of al jefferson who was an expiring at deadline, but rockets never called.

    I have always liked Klay Thompson; he doesn't seem to belong on the Warriors. Seems like a nice guy. Great shooter. Save him from the Jerk Train.
