i just think its a big time price to pay for Denaglo Russell---not only the steep contractual price, but also Iguadala and his expiring contract, and two first round picks.And that's what cracks me up so much about people knocking D'Lo's signing. The Warriors basically signed a 23 year old all star to a 4 year deal to help alleviate this, but people act like it's a negative. The Warriors weren't going to let Klay walk. After KD left they certainly weren't going to let Draymond walk. And Curry will (hopefully) retire a Warrior or at the very least will be with them until he's in his late-ish 30's.
So the Warriors covered all their bases. They got younger. They retained a strong core. They remain competitive when healthy. I don't see how people can still knock this team. But maybe I'm also mis-remembering how people viewed the Spurs keeping their core intact too.
paying Denaglo Russell 29M a year and giving up multiple first rounders and taking up about a 1/4 of your cap spae for the next 4 years--- and Iguadala's expiring contract do it, while sacrificing flexibility by becoming hard capped is hardly a no-brainer.
