Trade either Morris/Randle.


Can't trade Randle.

As you are able to assemble the pieces, you KEEP them.

Is there a rule against extending Morris now?

In other words - simplistically -

From the 2019 acquisitions, this is what worked, for the money - and what we will keep:

Morris, Randle

This is what we fee could be money used wiser

Elfrid, Bobby P, Taj, Wayne


With my MM extension, roster is:


Dennis/Frank
RJ/Reggie
MM/Kevin
Julius/Iggy
Mitch

for about 70 mil.
80 with 2 draft picks.

Looking for a point and a big.

If we drafted Ball we could either deal/86 Reg or deal KK.

Add Chris Paul and I'd be inclined to keep Orange&Blue Julius.
Add Tangelo Russell and I'd move Randle.

I'd choose between Randle and Morris.  And I like Morris' toughness, reasonable D, 3's, and leadership better than Randle's inside bully ball (and relative youth).

I put a Randle trade at about 4% likelihood.

Been hurting for most of his soon to expire 4-year contract. 

Banking 90-100 Million eases the pain...somewhat, professional athletes being competitors. 

Seemingly healthy and on the Atlanta Hawks, things looking up, when the brother gets taken out by a drunk driver, and suffers horrific injuries...never you mind career injuries...LIFE INJURIES: traumatic brain injury, disc herniation and a torn labrum. 

Man.

Does anyone have scenarios where a trade to the Knicks makes sense for the Warriors?

GSW needs a bench for next year,
Knix could offer Portis, Knox, Elf = Tangelo
GS would have a quality backup PG in Elf (though one who can't make a 3).  A young athletic F in Knox.  And they could save money by declining Portis' $15M option.  If they like him, they could try to sign him for longer and less per season, like 3/$30M.

Would GS be willing to do that?  Could they get more?  Most teams are set at PG, though Tangelo is a combo G and could play with a PG.

More likely to get GS to bite would be to include one of Mitch/RJB!
Say, Mitch + Portis + Ellington = Tangelo
(we could take back Chriss or some other low contract guy to balance the players a bit).

I'm not a Tangelo fan.  But he plays hard and can score.  Would you be willing to include one of Mitch, Knox, RJB to get Tangelo is the Q?  that's probably what it takes to get a deal done.

Another option could be Morris + Elf + Bullock for Tangelo + Chriss.  I'd rather give them Ellington than Bullock, but GS doesn't have any contracts in the $5M range to send us.  Basically a Morris for Tangelo trade.  With Elf thrown in as a surplus PG GS could use.  This makes sense if NYK aren't likely to re-up Morris.
Plug Morris into the old Durant slot.  And gives them a guy who can defend quality F's.

There's 3 trades that work and might entice GS.  And I didn't even make an RJB move.  I have it:
Morris + Elf + Bullock - a starter and two useful backups
Mitch + Portis + Ellington - 3 useful bench guy
Knox + Elf + Portis - 3 bench guys

Elf would be a useful backup to Steph for them.
Morris would fill a nice gap, but need to be reupped

Thanks for putting this together, by the way.

Interesting...if a little depressing (seems even less likely than I imagined).

Pretty sure GS is keeping Russell.  Teams surely missed the boat

Nope - all (which is not much) has been said.

He and Payton both had a good defensive game against Clevelands backcourt.  Good game for our PGs.
