By Branduil Go To PostKD will still get a max from someone. There's way too many desperate teams with cap space. The Mavs gave freaking Wesley Matthews 18 million a year after the same injury.he can opt into GSW payroll and then bounce next year lol 😂
Golden State needs to answer for what they did though. There's no way their doctors didn't know about the risk to his achilles. I think their management just decided it was worth the risk for one more ring since he was leaving anyway. Pure greed.
but I agree that GSW was shady af
By blackace Go To PostWith his age and everything? Naw he might not be a 20ppg player ever again
Dude is 31, not 40 lmao.
By Trey Go To PostDude is 31, not 40 lmao.I mean, pretty much everybody that's had the achilles injury has come back as a shell of themselves. Wes Matthews was even younger than KD is now and has never been close to the same.
By Trey Go To PostDude is 31, not 40 lmao.Brand was 28... Wikins was 32... Gay was 30 and those 3 are the best comeback stories... All them dropped pretty far after the injury...
Dude like Wes was 28 and looked about 38 after coming back
By Uncle Dennis Go To Postyeah... he hands are dirty tho
lmao
This how you know the NBA season is too long. You can wrestle a bull and not tear your Achilles, but pivot on a foot wrong and it’s a different story.
By blackace Go To Postyeah… he hands are dirty thothe real question is, would they sacrifice klay or curry the same way?
By Uncle Dennis Go To Postthe real question is, would they sacrifice klay or curry the same way?Don't think it matters because It's shitty regardless...
By blackace Go To PostDon't think it matters because It's shitty regardless…as long as they pay him
By Uncle Dennis Go To Postas long as they pay himHe needs to opt in for the 31 mil
By Uncle Dennis Go To Postas long as they pay him
Nope. World ain't going to work like that. As blackace says, KD should go ahead and get next year's guaranteed money if the achilles turns out to be the worst case scenario. After that, it's anyone's guess.
By shun Go To PostFuck off with that bullshitNaw it's still fuck the Warriors. I'm not gonna pretend that I didn't have a vested in KDs health but let's not let your faux outrage about that gloss over the fact that down 3-1 the Warriors pressured/allowed KD to play in that game right before he hit free agency. Myers broke into tears and said "blame me" they know what they did.
Players on NBA Radio talking about how team doctors work behind the scenes. Giving GSW all kinds of heat and they deserve it.
By Smokey Go To PostPlayers on NBA Radio talking about how team doctors work behind the scenes. Giving GSW all kinds of heat and they deserve it.That was some NFL shit they pulled
As a Ws fan... I'm pissed as fuck at our FO for letting our prior athletic director go to the Hawks. We have had multiple muscle injuries this season and imo done a really poor job on management of all of them. If they pressured KD at all... Fuck them all
Lacob better supermax KD. Fuck.
Lacob better supermax KD. Fuck.

They STILL out here pushing Looney too. Dude looked like his whole upper body was about to fall off.
By Smokey Go To PostPlayers on NBA Radio talking about how team doctors work behind the scenes. Giving GSW all kinds of heat and they deserve it.I remember only a couple years ago there were all those glowing articles about how the Warriors were so above everyone else in their approach to unifying the organization from front office to coaching to medical. Using all the latest tech to track and monitor fatigue and prevent injuries. Hiring the greatest medical minds around. Incorporating the genius of the tech world. How it was going to help embed a long-term synergistic culture that will keep them firmly planted in the upper echelon in all facets of the sport and ahead of the curve. Their good health was not so much luck, but the result of studious care and forward thinking.
....So about that

She's now working for the Hawks.
….So about that
By Smokey Go To PostI remember seeing that and noticing how low the ice was on his leg. There was no way that was calf related. I really expect the Warriors to get fined a pretty substantial amount of money for lying about the severity of the injury and essentially throwing a curve ball on Durants career.
I've never seen this video.
Smelled funny the moment they said "calf" smh
They should also lose draft picks, but I won't hold my breath for that.
By blackace Go To Postwhich every doctor not on an NBA payroll said would be likely to happen if he rushed backWhere? I’m trying to win an argument about this in a group chat.
By Kabro Go To PostThanks!
By masud Go To PostNaw it's still fuck the Warriors. I'm not gonna pretend that I didn't have a vested in KDs health but let's not let your faux outrage about that gloss over the fact that down 3-1 the Warriors pressured/allowed KD to play in that game right before he hit free agency. Myers broke into tears and said "blame me" they know what they did.Fuck outa here with this faux outrage shit. I been consistent with my views on ownership for years and spoke out when other fans didn’t.
Don’t pull a Gondo and say shit like I’m ignoring the risks and I was okay with it. Like I’m not being critical of their decision and I wanted him out there.
Most of all you have no reason to be here and say shit like we injured YOUR player. I’m already disappointed in the ownership, We don’t need you acting like we faulted you and your team.
They failed KD don’t owe you shit.
By Method Go To PostAs a Ws fan… I'm pissed as fuck at our FO for letting our prior athletic director go to the Hawks. We have had multiple muscle injuries this season and imo done a really poor job on management of all of them. If they pressured KD at all… Fuck them allCan build a new stadium for massive amounts of money but pay someone involved in health and training? lulz.
Lacob better supermax KD. Fuck.
By Method Go To PostLacob better supermax KD. Fuck.
1) Supermax isn't actually on the table
2) It's a capped league. You can't overpay a player just because you feel bad (not if you want to remain competitive, that is).
Shit I wish the 9ers had the same run as the Warriors.
All we did was become the McNabb-Reid era Eagles.

Where the fuck were you in the 80s.
While we are at it, fuck our beat writers. Tim Kawakami and Ethan Strauss are trash and they have done nothing but continue the narrative to push the locker room against each other.
They helped fuel this fire and have written nothing constructive, just for the sake of clicks.
Our only good beat writer is Marcus Thompson and he is the only one who really knows what goes on in the locker room.
Fuck this situation all around.

Anyway ignoring even just the winning it was more a commentary on how the move really just made shit worse. Long standing fans no longer having season tickets, half the stadium bakes, exorbitant prices, more rich people booths. It's no longer about a successful franchise or the fans, it's just a backdrop for selfies now.
By Random Ass Username Go To PostYou're young.Yeah, I only saw the Young Super Bowl and even then I was pretty young.

I actually went to a game at Levi's and while it's a really nice stadium it's fucking soulless. I have a feeling the new Warriors arena is going to be just a sterile.
