The still can….I’m sure Golden State drafted Kuminga because he was the highest upside player available. They probably have no intention of keeping him or Wiseman around.

The same offer from GSW is there today as it was a week ago.
they probably wanted a top 5 pick, and that simply didn't happen.

Well that is literally impossible. 7 and 14 are no longer picks, they are players.

Raptors waived Aron Baynes, who we all wanted last year and if I recall correctly we offered and he chose Toronto

Give them everyone of the Lakers and Bucks picks, 3 of our young players, and whatever else you need to get this done.

Buddy to the Pels has always been one of those deals that seems like the path of least resistance for both teams with where they want to go.


You would think so. Makes sense for both teams. Maybe the Kings are wanting some real compensation rather than being happy someone is taking his contract.

I think that is what is happening here. Pels thought they had some easy moves lined up and now teams see we have no other options so are demanding actual compensation.

Game of chicken.

Griff definitely thought that he had a deal done and it fell through. No other explanation.

I am continuing to hold out hope, but positivity is waning. The melt is being prepared.

It's Griffin's job to know if we are actually players or not

Optimism bias is fricking him once again

It's also what fricked Dell

We have until Friday morning. But yeah, I think if they had an actual deal and plan, it would have happened.

Now, they are just searching or waiting, which isn't always the best outcome.

some insider just said the Dinwiddie trade to Wash will happen today or tomorrow and will involve 6-8 different teams. I’m assuming we’re involved in that

It's bad when the best thing Griff has done thus far in the off season is repairing the damage from prior poor decisions. Then, there is the draft choices he had to use to make the repairs.

It's hard to think Griffin won't go all out for this season and even sacrifice some of the future to do it knowing it could be his last year.

There's nothing quite like a good pre-melt.

I missed Kemba Walker being bought out. How much did he get?
