    Warriors are too cowardly to give him consequences, they have built this problem.....and they won't deal with it.

    He is entitled....just like Harden was here......

    He will be a MAJOR problem at any other team.

    You can f*** off comparing that utter piece of human trash to harden. What the hell did harden do that ever cane close to attacking people? Being a dirty piece of ****? You’re a joke

    The context is that we let Harden have too much power, and he forced us to trade CP3 for Westbrook, which ended up being a problem - not that Harden was a bad guy.

    Why does context need to be explained so much here? Don't people go to school?

    Shocking the lack of understanding.

    Draymond would get 4 fouls in the first half like dwight used too if he played for the rockets

    the warriors have been protected since Adam silver became the commissioner

    If you constantly need to explain yourself to one person, that person is most likely the problem.
    If you constantly need to explain yourself to everyone, then you're most likely the problem.

    Shocking the lack of understanding.

    Did MJ get suspended when he did to Kerr?

    I'm actually curious, I don't know the answer.

    For the Warriors organization, it's an ideal situation to fine him and still play him. He's a big part of the way they play.

    I love the hypocrisy of Steve Kerr.

    Social Justice Crusader for external Warrior issues.

    Turns a blind eye to something that actually happens inside of his team.

    MJ was sent home, but there was no need for a suspension because Steve Kerr hit MJ first.

    The Warriors estimated luxury tax bill for 2023-2024 is 281 million dollars. I keep hoping they'll spend their way into a shallow NBA franchise grave with this repeated wasteful allocation of wealth.

    The nba needs to just stop the luxury tax loophole and deny teams from going over the cap. It would give smaller market teams a fighting chance to compete.

    Well it allows smaller market teams to build up a war chest though.

    Oh, I know that many here take things out of context on purpose......because they either don't like the message or the messenger or both....

    People love to leap....

    Harden - was entitled
    Draymond - is entitled

    Their situation is similar..nothing more.

    From some surface level googling, Joe Lacob while a majority owner; only owns something like 25% of the team. Unlike a Tilman, who owns the whole franchise. So I wonder if that luxury tax bill is split the same where Lacob himself pays a quarter of that.

    Joe Lacob, when compared to other NBA owners, governors, is less wealthy. He's in the bottom tier as far as a majority stakeholders, since he helps run the day-to-day; NBA media shows him more. Lacob's net worth is only ~1.5b. (not scoffing at 1.5b, just comparing to the other dudes in the league), even Tilman is higher than Lacob. Forbes said 1.5b; not sure if they counted 900m evaluation of Lacob's GSW shares in that? o_O

    One of the ESPN guys said; only the Clippers have a bigger upcoming lux tax bill. GSW is #2. (didn't fact check this, just parroting). Lacob has the 'not have to say sorry' money; Balmer has FU money.

    But with the next TV deal's big money; maybe this kind of bill could become normal. No sympathy at the big tax. System and balance is working as intended.

    The owners don't use their own money to pay off the luxury tax, they simply borrow money as the TEAM entity and it stays as a debt on their balance sheet - no actual owner ponies up money.
