Suns are my Kryptonite!
I just heard on TV GS had to get rid of Iggy to fit DLO onto the squad. 29 mil is a lot to make room for.

So nobody is reporting what the Warriors gave up? I know they traded Iggy to Memphis and I don't know if that means Iggy is retiring or not but nobody seems to know what the Warriors gave up for Russell?
I'm not a huge fan of his I think he's more flash than substance but he'll be a nice fit with Klay out and if they really got the deal without giving up a core guy I'm happy. I still want to see but my guess is iggy was done to make caproom to keep Looney but not sure.
Ok now i get it they did a sign and trade with Durant and Russell.

I highly doubt that DLO would have rejected Golden State for any team, let alone Sarver's Suns. LOL

I would have preferred Joe Harris but obviously you don't give him a max deal so it probably wouldn't have worked cap wise. Better defender and knockdown shooter.
Lightly protected 1st.

Wow. Talk about mortgaging the future.
Just when Steph and Klay are ancient they give away all their picks
Edit: Wait they are saying 1 pick, not 3. That's not bad at all.

Just praying that the Lakers whiff on Kawhi and have to round out their roster with scraps.

They gave 1 pick that has protections that decrease.

I assume they are talking Iggy
I thought they were giving up KD? He is going to Brooklyn and makes enough for everything they're getting back.

Russell is a weird fit for GS. Not sure that makes them any better, except that they are less short handed next year. After Klay comes back, I don't see it working.
So? They had KD's bird rights and could sign and trade him. I don't see how being over the cap effects that. They sign and trade KD to Brooklyn and Brooklyn signs and trades Russell.
It's like how Boston, Brooklyn, and Charlotte are working on a 3 team sign & trade to move their pieces around also. Kyrie to Brooklyn, Rozier to Charlotte, and Kemba to Boston.

I forgot about the KD sign and trade.
I don't know, maybe that deal was already submitted and couldn't be modified?

Right that's what they did. I missed in the initial report that KD was being traded in the sign and trade with Russell. It makes sense now.
The claim is Iggy will be bought out by memphis and be a FA and might end up a Laker. Lakers fans on the UCLA board I read all seem convinced Kawhi is going to be a Laker now and that's why Russell wound up a warrior not a Laker.

I know he punched a teammate a couple years ago, but if that is what Portis got we might be waaaaaaaaaaay too nervous about Oubre's market.

WTF are the Knicks doing? They've signed 3 PF's (Randle, Gibson, Portis). Wow!!!

Which is smart considering what role players have gotten paid so far.

I think the 3 of them can play together I'm just not a huge fan of Russell on defense but apparently he improved enough last season the Warriors think he can play with Klay out. it makes some sense if Curry has to be the bigger scoring option you need a 2 who can playmake and Russell can. So they can both be sort of combo guards and the offense will run through Draymond. If they can keep Looney then you have Damian Jones at the 5 to give them some rim protection.
I still would have preferred Joe Harris for defense and knockdown 3's but I guess Russell could work out.
