Warriors 2.0: from Showtime Lakers to the Spurs

[Wamu]

didn't think of that. good point...

I just hate it when I make sense. I gotta stop that crap.

Durant is too stupid to realize it himself.

He says "Hell No" but it's obvious that they put pressure on him to come back and he subsequently put pressure on himself. For fuck sake, they are doing it again with Klay.

How are they doing it again if he's not expected to play for another 6 months? That's a lot of time for plans/timelines to change. They definitely won't rush him back if the team is winning.

 

[shopson67]

yeah, the medical tech now is much better for knees. Remember microfracture surgery, and how much good it did Greg Oden...?

Yeah, because microfracture (multiple times on the same knee, mind you) is exactly the same as repairing an ACL. WINNER!

 

[Black Adam]

Yeah, because microfracture (multiple times on the same knee, mind you) is exactly the same as repairing an ACL. WINNER!

yeah, probably a poor example on my part. was simply saying, or at least TRYING to say, that treating knee issues in general is better now...

Msgkings reported that GS said Klay was ahead of schedule. They are apparently pushing him to recover faster than needed. This shit is so obvious and unsettling that they are repeating the same patterns that got them in trouble in the first place. They can’t help themselves, I guess. Dumb organization.

Ding ding ding we have a winner

super super biased especially after Kyrie made oyu look like a fool- after that trauma is prob better for you to stick with your could-be's and what if's

Actually I had Kyrie just right.

And for all my “bias”

I have never ranked Kyrie more than 2 spots lower than you.

 

[WiggyRuss]

I was just thinking.about that. Klay is reportedly ahead of schedule. I'd bet he will come back without any drop off at all. You're gonna be spectacularly wrong on this like you usually are. If you can come up with a way we can bet on it without your lawyerly bullshit, I'll gladly bet you.

Also, what makes you think I don't like you? You're a fun poster to have around, and more knowledgeable than many.
I'm not the one who takes this stuff so seriously.

You are in loser denial if you think that Klay- at the age of 30, after having his knee rebuilt- can come back the same player.

Because Klay's strength has always been his great leaping ability and his explosiveness as an athlete....

Name your terms. I guarantee I'm right

2020-2021 salaries

Klay 35
Curry 43
Draymond 22

total 90 million

salary cap 2020-2021: 118 million


that would leave 28M

Golden State Warriors 2020-21 Salary Cap

Draymond is at 22.4
Klay is at 35.3
Steph at 43

Those 3 combined to 101, not 90M.

Plus you have their 3 rooks locked up at 5M. And then you have Looney at 5. That's also NOT including the Warriors option for Jacob Evans at 2. If they picked that up, they're already over the cap.

So that's 111 at best, with a 118 Cap.

Like honestly, how the hell did you calculate 90? LOL.

GS never learns. Rushing KD back, now rushing Klay back. What bet can you make? They will rush him back and cause him to have chronic knee problems his whole life. What is there to bet?

You realize, that over the course of their dynasty,

If anything the Warriors have been on the cautious side with player comebacks.

KD was the outlier and he made it clear that it was his decision to come back and that he was not pressured.

Klay is going to rush himself back. It will be up to the Warriors to get him to chill out.

Remember, Klay wanted to come back and play in game 6 after he got hurt. The Warriors will definitely be trying to slow him down.

It was never a "dynasty" lol

A dynasty is 4+ championships

 

[tlance]

LOL.

You really are a hater.

5 finals and 3 titles in 5 years is a dynasty.

 

[WiggyRuss]

oh yah, he should be just fine

 

[lebron23james]

LOL.

The amount of finals doesn't matter sniffer it's 4+ championships

Like the bulls, spurs, lakers, Celtics...3 does not = dynasty and 2 losses to go with it

 

[WiggyRuss]

Name your terms. I guarantee I'm right

right about what?

 

[WiggyRuss]

I mean especially when the fundamental core of the team changed with adding Durant

the only thing that the real Golden State core proved was they could beat LeBron with Mozgov and Delly while taking a path to the Finals that was littered with other teams bad luck

They were only cautious because they had the luxury

When that luxury went away their true colors came out

They also have an owner that attacked a player in the finals...How many organizations have that?

Yep and you forgot...

They will also prove that tlance will be making excuses for them non stop next year...I can't wait! He is so far up currys ass he might come through his mouth...Odd for a Wizards fan tho
