I don't like the way this is playing out...

Free agents Nicolas Batum and Evan Turner are among the players being considered at small forward, per sources, if the Warriors don't get Kevin Durant. Which means the Warriors will be taking a long, hard look at if they can do better than Harrison Barnes.

If we lose Batum,  may as well go ahead and tank.  There isn't another wing on the market outside of KD that is capable of making the impact he does on a team.  It could be argued that Batum is the most complete all-around player in the league.  If we dont do anything else this offseason, we have to retain him.

You could take every top free agent at this point and fill in the blanks for every team right now 

 

__________ are trying to sign ___________________  

 

Lets wait to start tearing down what this team next season will be until the chips start falling in place.

 

If we dont come out of this free agency with a resigned batum , and two of Lin , Lee , Williams plus a free agent big then we cant start talking about how this team messed up.

The situation with Batum is sort of unique in that his deal sort of needs to be done quickly so that the French team can get insurance on him so he can play for them in the Olympics. While he's a "FA", the French team can't get the necessary insurance on him, they'll be cutting it close to get it and get ready for the Olympics. Batum wants to return to the Hornets, Cho will make sure this deal gets done so Nic can go play in the Olympics.

Noah has been offered a 4 yr $120M deal from the Wizards, like really? Parson will be offered something similar to that. KD will probably do the 2 yr with the 1 yr opt out, so he can see if he'll get a larger deal after the 1 yr since Westbrook is a FA next yr.

Yea targeting doesn't mean offering.  Even if we do overpay, he's stated he wants to stay here.  GS just lost the finals and Cho isn't dumb in FA.  We can be chicken littles if he does sign, but for now let's just relax.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Really?  Back to this again? How many times have I said that I’d prefer to trade back from #1? Too many to count, but as I’ve pointed out, that’s going to be much easier said than done, as once we signal we want to trade back, teams will know we don’t want any of the QBs and they’d target the 2nd pick in a trade instead. All of my “T-Mac at #1” talk has been discussed under two circumstances… the first being that no QB or DE pop before the draft, and that we can’t trade back. But again, I know you don’t like to actually read that stuff when I say it, as I’ve said it numerous times.

      Chase Daniels breaks down Bryce vs DEN

      By SCO96 · Posted

      Thanks for posting this. While this was far from a great performance, this critique shows what some of us noticed last week. Bryce played "a little better". There is some talent there. But, as you pointed out we really don't have a great pass blocking line for dropping back each down when we are behind. BY has got some bad habits and physical limitations. At times his teammates let him down. The play calling isn't always the best. I hope he can learn from last week and show us some improvement in the Saints game.

      Oh, and yes, I’d take a WR first in this upcoming draft, but again, that’s not in a vacuum I wouldn’t have taken him over the QBs this past year or likely the ones next year either. It’s all relative to who is available in a specific draft, and I don’t think any of the QB’s are worth the risk at #1 this year. Also the fact that you’ve said you would take T-Mac #2 but scoff at him going #1 is just in itself, super weird.  How you can justify a player at #2 but not #1 solely because of their position and with complete disregard to the other players available, is absolutely crazy town talk
