That’s a lot of max christie

8 years AAV is not much but 4 years is a lot of guaranteed years. It’s basically making him a 2024 first round pick, which anytime you have are as cap strapped as the lakers a rookie contract is potentially very valuable

So let me figure this out… PG13 almost was a Warrior. GS Warriors release CP3. They traded Poole to get Paul. They are left with fewer assets and Thompson is leaving. So they’re big 2 is now Steph and Draymond??? They’re still going to trade Wiggins as well. This is hard to figure out.

Max will also have to fight for PT with Bronny…

They’re pretty screwed unless their young players finally become something. They desperately need someone else besides Steph to be an offensive threat

From reading George deal came close. They were offering combos of Wiggins Kuminga Moody and Paul and a 1st. You can take a young guy but you would need to take on one of those contracts as well. That seems terrible. Still like Wiggins but he would kind of block either Kuminga or Moody.

whiffed on quite a few high first rounders once they entered their title window - wiseman, kuminga, moody… at least poole contributed to a championship

The wiseman pick was especially egregious. Shows why picking for need that high usually is wrong. I still like Moody but he’s just never really gotten a shot.

That 2020 NBA draft top 10 was pretty terrible.

indeed. ball turned out to be good but idk if he’d have helped them win at all. even more of a knucklehead than JP.

If the Warriors actually let Kuminga break out he’ll be an all-star next year

They absolutely did not miss on Kuminga

Easy to be a knucklehead when you get drafted the absolute worst franchise (I’m in the Pistons
thread so I can’t say “tied for” in the league

Melo may be a clown but that franchise wasn’t going to stop him from being one

Melo would have at least been a good trade chip if it didn’t quite work out for wise. But they def could use some sort of creation at the moment

Pistons are so back… Actuality really like Cade I just hope he doesn’t get lost in a extremely talented player on a bad team or franchise.
