    Really?

    So you're okay with gutting our team to bring in another PG, because that's what it would take to match salaries?

    And THEN... you're okay with paying $76M, $81M and $91M -- the majority of our cap space -- just for our two point guards in the next three years?

    That's brilliant.

    Paul can still walk without pain. I don't think it is that bad.

    I've hamstring a couple times. Once it took less than a week and another time it took almost 6 weeks.

    For nba players, it could be between 2 and 4 weeks.

    I would trade Knight, Chriss, and 3 first for Wall in a heartbeat. That's $19 mil going out and Wall's $19 mil salary for this year coming in.

    Next year, Gordon's contract will be an expiring, so I would flip his expiring for a 1st round pick in the offseaason. Hell, you can probably even use Gordon to package with PJ for an extra pick.

    Then next year, we would have about $135 mil tied up into Paul, Harden, Wall, and Capela. If Hartenstein develops, I would flip Capela into more picks. That might even get us out of the luxury tax. Remember what Dantoni said....

    Well everyone on Twitter and such will be really excited.

    But I don't get why this crap doesn't happen to the Warriors.

    I wonder if he'd have found another taker that would have paid him, regardless, at this point if he could be used for a full playoff run that'd be great (assuming the team makes the playoffs)
