HazletonEagle Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 There no plan. If as reported there is no hurry to trade Ben they should have approached free agency as if they are taking him in to the season. They didn't. Now, after a trade happens, there not really many difference making players left to sign already. Just like at the trade deadline we let opportunities pass waiting on a deal that never happened. Back then it was Lowry This time, it might have been Lowry again. But also the Ben trade. Waiting on 3 players who never became available. 42 minutes ago, Khani1 said: So depressing. If that is the case, next year we should trade Joel instead of super max him and get back a lot of young assets. Right now we are looking at Dame or bust. We shouldn't. But I also think Joel will request a trade soon enough. You think he's liking this offseason so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll get a full MLE player. That's all they were ever going to get. We're not sure who becomes available until after the olympics. If you want to trade Ben for a bunch of role players and a pick or two then I guess they missed out. Put away the jump to conclusion mat. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_hunt Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Quote Source: https://theathletic.com/2746229/2021/08/03/warriors-nba-free-agency-patty-mills/ Sources say the Warriors have hope with free-agent guard Patty Mills, the long-time Spurs reserve. He figures to be one of those difference-making fits. At 32, with a championship ring, 90 career playoff games and noteworthy international experience, Mills checks the veteran box. The Warriors could use his shot-making and offensive creation. If Jazz forward Joe Ingles is indeed available for trade, sources say the Warriors do have interest — just no good way to get him. Ingles, approaching 34, fits the Warriors’ need for a veteran and another offensive playmaker. His passing would fit perfectly with the Warriors. He can run point forward and spot up off the ball, making him viable with the starters and the second unit. He’s got 45 playoff games under his belt. He shot a career-best 45.1 percent from 3 on a career-high 6.1 attempts per game — his third season at 44 percent or above. He’s also reputed for being a great guy and would add to the culture of the locker room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan Robinson was, and many other players would be on a S&T using Green. And, Hill's salary was great to put in to trades (which we have squandered by asking too much). Im sure there were tons of Ben offers from teams that we passed on. Lots of opportunities. 6 minutes ago, mr_hunt said: So do the Nets as reported last night.

That was the last year they were going to have significant cap space to spend on FA. Instead of spreading the money out and getting a couple of guys or guys who actually fit we decided to go after a breaking down aging horford who didn’t remotely fit the roster. That move alone should have gotten Elton brand fired because if the sixers spend wisely and players who fit they likely are in a much better position 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh darn we missed out on Portis, 5 years and $90 million on Robinson, 3 years at $30 million per for Lowry, etc... I'm devastated. I want Ben gone as much as the rest of you but there's been no opportunity this offseason where I thought that a move/player was there to push us to championship contender status.

HazletonEagle Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Im curious if they let this Horford trade exception expire as well. They are going to want to save their picks to use in a Ben trade. So I dont see them sending one out in a trade to use the exception. 2 minutes ago, rambo said: Oh darn we missed out on Portis, 5 years and $90 million on Robinson, 3 years at $30 million per for Lowry, etc...

Thats definitely true. But theres been plenty of opportunities to get better within our available resources. But, we have no plan. The reported FAs we were interested in signed elsewhere right away. McDermott even went to the sucky spurs. For an affordable contract for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just keep in mind that Morey runs a lot tighter of ship than our previous GMs who tattooed what they wanted on their foreheads then got raked over the coals because everybody and their mother knew what they wanted and ran up the asking cost. Nobody saw the Curry or Horford trades coming until it was done. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Lowry contract is going to bite Miami in the ass in his second season. He was really not good as a defender last year. He had a 114.5 defensive rating which is one of the worst in the league for a starting point guard. Add on he couldn’t stay healthy. He’s 35. I don’t think he ages well like Chris Paul. I think Miami is going to regret giving him that 3 year contract by year 2. Even the Chris Paul contract isn’t guaranteed in year 4. And year three it’s only partially guaranteed so they can get out of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its ok to say right now that it sucks so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a ridiculous price for McDermott. The nba when free agency hits has some of the worst contracts handed out and then like the next year teams are scrambling to get out of the contracts. I remember a couple years ago the Lakers gave mozgov 64 mil over 4 years. I sat there like how could anyone justify that contract 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
