Not sure how I feel about Shumpert...looks like Warriors are going to offer Iggy a 3 year 45 mil contract. Assuming that's more than we could offer.
Can someone explain to me how in the hell GS can offord all these damn contracts? **** is ridiculous
they're in luxury tax hell. It'll all sort itself out in a few years when they won't be able to afford Klay

It is possible that this payroll will cost them close to $200mm this year. Going to really hurt as the salaries increase by 8% while the cap increases by 1-2%

Been on vacation. So it's not looking strong at this point to land another medium to big piece?

Unlikely. No cap flexibility. Probably just a mle player and filler.

Right so it would have to be a trade (Melo or Milsap) and they would have to take Anderson (pretty much).

GSW ownership made $30 million profit on the 2016 playoff games alone.

When you have an all time great team that has become a cash cow, your threshold to absorb luxery taxes can become pretty high.

Most articles that I have read seem to think GSW ownership won't have any problem paying the taxes necessary to keep their core together for at least a couple more seasons.

Iggy lite. Consolation prize I guess. We need a defender but he is 31.

He's still dribbling....

Someone on here has been clamoring that the rockets get him for a while now.

8 million is nothing.... go look at some of the guys who got 17-18 mil a year before last season. Steph just got 40 million a year.

Yea this kind of contract for a guy like Tucker is pretty decent. At first glance I like the signing. Guy always gave us fits during the regular season. He will replace some of the toughness and grit that we lost with Bev. He doesn't back down.......or stop dribbling....

Tucker apparently turned down more money with Toronto to come here.

I've been asking for PJ Tucker for about 3 years now. I've always thought he was the perfect wingman for a guy like James Harden. Great Defender, good shooter, and mean spirited attitude. We definitely need someone like him to replace Bev's junkyard dogness.

Obviously I'm very happy about this signing, but I wish it would have happened a long time ago. PJ is getting up there, hopefully he will age like Nene.

By the way, I think Morey knew his contract offer to Nene was going to get rejected due to the age rule. Morey clearly understands the salary cap rules and I seriously doubt he missed that detail. I think he wanted to show Nene that he was appreciated so he gave him a contract he knew would be rejected. Now he can give Nene less money without offending him.

One of my all time favorite NBA players. Gives 100%, he does more with less talent than everyone else in the league.

Looking good so far.

Just a bad matchup for the cavs with Love against the Warriors. He had been solid though.

I'd rather not let go of Gordon after we already lost 2 point guards in the CP trade. And I don't see Kevin Love being an improvement anyways

11 per year or divided by 3? If it's 3 for 11 than that's a steal
