J-ALL-DAY Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Seth Curry 4 years 32M to the Mavericks. Really looking like Kawhi or bust for the Lakers now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now there's stuff out that he didn't like how he wouldn't get MVP chants or the fans always preferred Steph over him? Really? He didn't know Steph was going to be the fan favorite when he signed there? No need for none of this lol. The Warriors won this move. Obviously, Durant is a superior player to Russell but it's unlikely that he'll ever be the same player. NYT released a report that 86% of players that tear their Achilles are out of the league within two seasons and most never return back to form. The Warriors could've been stuck paying a 34/35-year-old Durant who's a shell of his former self $50M... That's not how smart teams operate. Now they have a 23-year-old guard that showed serious potential locked up for the next 4 years and his game should really help Curry because now he can slide off the ball a lot more. If the Warriors can retain Cousins on a 1 year deal they're right back in it and will be dangerous when Klay comes back late in the season.

He will recover better than damn near anyone with his Achilles due to his playing style. No doubt in my mind he will still be an elite force when he returns. But getting Russell in this situation was big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if he does return to form it'll be a couple of years, he won't be the same when he comes back next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean for the short term you play him next to Steph and let him cook. He will be the second scorer on the team and will have the ball in his hands quite a bit. You can also stagger his and Steph's minutes where Russell is the primary ball handler in the minutes Steph sits. And then after the season if you want to trade him? You could do that as well. If he continues off from last year, he's not going to be a hard contract to move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYRaider Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Portland traded Mo Harkless and Meyers Leonard to Miami for Hasan Whiteside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalvadorsDeli Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Miami just got bailed out big time. Don't know what the hell Portland is thinking here unless the idea is to flip Whiteside as an expiring contract to Cleveland for Love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
