Booooooooooooooquote:About 30 minutes after Game 7 of the 2016 Finals, Warriors forward Draymond Green sat at his locker in full uniform, fiddling with his phone. All around him, teammates hastily showered and dressed, rushing from Oracle Arena and the champagne fumes that polluted the air. But Green was in no hurry to leave. He replayed in his mind the climactic moments of a weeklong collapse against Cleveland: the chase-down block by LeBron James on Andre Iguodala, the clanked three-pointer by Steph Curry over Kevin Love, the mysterious cold front that froze Golden State’s usually reliable flamethrowers. How, Green wondered, can I make sure this never happens again? https://www.si.com/nba/2017/06/13/golden-state-warriors-kevin-durant-nba-championship-draymond-green-text

I assume the Olympic 3 v 3 will be competitive, which means The Professor would get eaten alive. He's a cool ball handler when nobody is playing defense, but that's all he is, he's not an actual good enough basketball player or he'd be playing competitive ball somewhere and not traveling around with his webcam making videos of himself clowning on guys in cargo shorts and polo shirts. He's also like 33 years old, it'll likely be a bunch of young non-NBA caliber guys.

Chris Paul is 100% going to San Antonio as well as Cleveland Gordon Hayward is signing with Boston and Miami tommorow Paul Millsap is joining your favorite team at a substantial discount Danilo Gallinari is a houston Rocket and a Boston Celtics Kyle Lowry is going to sign with the 76ers OTTO PORTER is going to get a max RFA sheet from the Wizards after 10 other teams sign one Alex Len will be on some NBA team next fall for a small amount of money The Wizards will try to sign Deron Williams Tim Hardaway jr is going to take his 20 points 1 rebound 1 assist body to a big contract somehwere Nerlens and kentavious will also get max offer sheets Raptors will re-sign PJ the DJ Tucker but not Serge Ibaka, that will be some sucker team The Grizzlies will retain the fabulous and fantastic Jamychal Green Spurs will have to pay a decent amount to keep Jonathan Simmons Phoenix will retain Alan the human highlight reel Williams Jose Calderon will probably play for another year or two despite being completely cooked Bobby Brown should get a supermax but the slavemasters of the NBA will deny him Zach Randolph will re-sign Brake Griffin will re-sign to a crippling deal I think the minimum contract Warriors crew will mostly remain unchanged James Johnson will stay in Miami Some stupid team will pay MCW money to play basketball. Maybe the Wizards Utah will give George Hill whatever he wants

I think i watched maybe 1 full game this entire playoffs and still dont feel like i missed a thing lol gotta keep reminding myself that unless you are one of maybe ~3 teams the nba doesnt really matter year in year out, gotta luck into a generational talent and avoid injury and hope you have an attractive enough city in free agency i really hate the nfl for a lot of reasons, but for all its warts there's at least some turnover year to year ex post facho fucked around with this message at 12:27 on Jun 13, 2017 |

I actually found the season enjoyable and atleast the first rounds of the playoffs - lots of players becoming stars or atleast improving (Giannis!) and a bunch of funny storylines throughout the season. I'll never get tired of LeBrons play either. I did skip most GSW-related things though, as well as the finals.

For those talking about the Warriors cap situation. Durant is most likely going to opt out of his contract, but that doesn't mean he is leaving. Curry likely will sign his contract last, but its unlikely he's leaving too. So there may be websites that will speculate on "Drama" but ignore it. This CBS article is pretty good explaining the various scenarios Durant is back. It may be off by a million here or there, but I think the math mostly checks out: http://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/after-new-cba-heres-what-has-to-happen-for-warriors-to-keep-durant-and-curry/ In Short: No matter what happens to Durant, they will probably lose Zaza and McGee, unless those guys take minimums again (unlikely now that each already have a ring. If Durant takes every dollar he can they probably lose Iggy and Livingston (unless those guys take minimum deals). Ian Clark would have massive leverage since they won't have to give up his bird rights. So you might see Ian Clark get $15 million and Iggy signing for less somewhere else. If Durant takes an almost max contract (6 million or so under) for 1 year they can resign Iggy and Livingston. Both those guys have leverage to get fat deals and if Durant is leaving money on the table those guys can turn their bird rights into big deals like JR, TT and Shumpert did. Durant then uses his early bird rights to take a true max deal in 2018. This means the Warriors will be in tax hell really quickly. I think this is the most likely scenario. If Durant just opts in or signs a new, short deal on a bigger discount then the Warriors can bring back Iggy, Livingston and Clark and maybe even make another, smaller move this summer. As someone who spent his youth playing computer games and D&D arbitrary rules on cap is so my poo poo. Thanks for reading.
