did you playoffs bro?

You meant when he played 6 games and averaged 24.7ppg (on 40.8% shooting), 6rpg, and 2.7apg?

40.8% isn't good. Kobe shoots that and he gets ripped a new asshole. And no, I'm not talking qhwn he was past his prime.....I'm talking when Kobe was in his prime....like PG is.

He def could if:

A. Stay healthy
B. Quit committing stupid fouls.

I doubt either happens.

He reminds me of Kawhi in that sense that he will never play unless he is absolutely 100% which is annoying because in an 82 game season, you will have days where you feel like 90% instead of 100 but you just have to push through and play.....he doesn't

If you want to keep him you are because someone else will.

He's the key to the whole thing. Now if they decide KD is leaving and they should blow it up that's one thing. But my guess is KD leaves and they try to keep the core 3 together. It'll be interesting
See, I'm operating on the belief that Durant would be out of his rabbit ass mind to leave.

So, if you have Durant, Curry and Klay at the Max, I'm not paying Draymond.

Unless you think Klay is out?

Tend to agree, but I think Wiggy is at least partially right. I don't know about several teams offering him a max, but a couple will, especially if they are desperate.

For him to be worth a max, a team would basically have to play the same way that the Warriors do. Even then, it's unlikely that he would be as effective because he wouldn't have the unique talents around him that the Warriors do.
He'd be worth it for a team like Portland.

Otherwise.....yeah, I don't see it outside of the Warriors.

The way it works is this. Klay is up this year, we max him for multiple years. KD I really doubt wants to sigm a long term deal, he's in the LeBron stage of his career where he signs 1 years or 1+1. They have room to sign him for a 1 year, the gang is back together for one more run, to try to win 4 in a row presumably (more than any team since the 1960s), which if they do gets KD one more ring than LeBron. Boogie could not be afforded here.

Then next year when Dray's deal is up they have a problem, KD or Dray? But KD by then I can't imagine wants to end his career in GS where he will never be loved like Curry, or respected for leading 'his own' team.

As we have said before, none of us know what these guys want to do but that's how I see it. 50% or so he leaves after this year, 50% he plays 1 more year after this. I really really doubt he is around after that.

Yeah, I can agree with this.

What Durant does will be the deciding factor.

Also, wearing a jersey over 30 is acceptable if you have a kid who also wears one. Once that kid turns 12 and starts smoking weed behind the shed in the backyard your jersey should be retired.

Holy shit. I come back from a weekend camping trip with the kids, and the Lakers are 0-2 and Rondo and Ingram are suspended because they lost their shit.

Can't a girl take a long weekend off?
