This is a very refreshing way to consume the best Warriors content on the platform... More of these Rich... Let's go Warriors! Let's go Warriors!(Klay's voice)💛💙
Thanks, Shivansh. Really appreciate this esp in a world where receiving a negative comment is mathematically more probable than a positive one lol 😂 🙏 doing these videos and putting yourself out there is always a hurdle to get over but the passion is the fuel 💛💙
Kendra Andrews just reported that GP2 will opt-in. Welp, that probably means GSW won’t get under the tax line. But still, a lot of moving parts therefore very difficult to read Dunleavy at this point. I’ll try to do a follow up today and, as this video mentions, next bit of info to drop from GSW will be whether or not they guarantee the remaining $5M of Looney’s $8M contract.
This was such a good video! I haven't always fully understood the tax tiers with the ever changing rules but this was easy to follow and engaging. Top work, will be checking for more in the future
I’ve actually suggested on various livestreams since the end of the season that POR might be ok trading out Rob, Thybulle and let’s say Jabari Walker (I liked how he played vs GSW in two POR-GSW games) for Wiggins, but our recent rewatches of the 2022 Finals makes it really difficult to detach from Wiggs like that. Williams is under contract btw, so would not have been possible using the strategy of this video (the NTMLE, which probably isn’t happening now that GP2 has opted in).
Wow Steph making paper but he got endorsements too so u looking at probably $100+ million but he’s worth every penny he carries that team true leadership..Klay n Draymond no where near Steph but still great money wow amazing how much these people are making 💯
Oh yeah, for sure. I only started looking at all 30 cap sheets a couple years ago and it is crazy what the NBA stars make. Tatum is about to score a $300M deal over 5 years - that’s SIXTY MILLION per year 🤯
Well, you left your comment one day ago and GP2 just opted in on his $9M, so I would’ve agreed with you but then again you posted your comment BEFORE the opt-in, so I wonder which part you didn’t agree with - or if you somehow knew GP2 would opt in.

2:15 our playlist for our livestreams: ruclips.net/p/PLszalip37vKL4IZdbujUtJq5ixI3tsO86
3:00 the livestream where I first introduced this idea of the NTMLE: ruclips.net/video/ORPb1D-b654/видео.html
3:45 article where I suggested Klay get paid what Draymond gets paid for fairness: www.letsgowarriors.com/p/just-pay-klay-draymond-contract-free-agency
4:00 on Donte DiVincenzo as our last example of an actual non-veterans-minimum free agency (but only at the taxpayer mid-level exception aka "TPMLE")
5:15 on the second apron being heavily punitive
5:45 assumptions made for getting under the luxury tax line: 1) Klay gets paid no more than what Draymond gets paid, 2) Gary Payton II "re-does" his contract to get around $3-5M per year instead of $9M in 2024-25, see ruclips.net/video/wgdu8H6soF8/видео.html and 3) get off of Looney's contract worst-case scenario is to waive him and take a cap hit of his guaranteed $3M (out of $8M)

13:00 on why all the salaries are going to Steph, Klay, Draymond and Wiggins (and Chris Paul, which was Jordan Poole's slot, but CP3 we are assuming here will get waived to get off his $30M contract)
13:45 on my two most attractive $10-13M free agents being Kyle "Slow-Mo" Anderson or Derrick Jones, Jr.
15:00 will DJJ want a salary that's above or at Tim Hardaway Jr's $16M level?
16:00 Gary Payton II's player option date is 6/19/2024
16:58 I meant to say "or more" (than $3M-ish, i.e., half of $9M is $4.5M which is NOT "less" than $3M -- oops)
17:30 on what it means to get off of Looney's full $8M contract by waiving him (and taking a cap hit of $3M) and his guarantee date of "7 days before moratorium"
18:30 CP3's guarantee date is 6/28 which is THE DAY AFTER the 2nd day of the NBA Draft (my bad)
19:00 on Kawakami's idea that the Warriors could push out the guarantee dates of GP2, Loon, and/or CP3 -- and how it might be a domino effect with whether or not Klay's situation is murky
19:30 on our reaction to Klay unfollowing the Warriors: ruclips.net/user/liveJ2DVOcjwdgQ?feature=share

20:30 on Wiggins and making sure anyone who suggests a trade understands that "why would the other team want Wiggs?" is a huge part of that
21:15 on Kuminga being untouchable, like shares in a startup that's about to go IPO
24:15 why I like Kyle Anderson: same reasons Draymond likes him x.com/nbaontnt/status/1794933315935322558?s=46

This means so much!!!! Thank you 🙏💛💙
For me Kyle Anderson is not a good choice
SLO-MO is a great signing. A good player at SA, at Memphis, and Minnesota now he is a great switchable swiss army knife player for the dubs.
Nice, tks for insights
Appreciate your comment 🙏💛💙
This aged really well lol
Wusupper, Rich!

Best option check out robert williams need a legit center.
