    Kerr brought back Sideshow Bob after his disastrous Finals cameo, why would they dump D-Worst when he's their primary backup?
    Prolly hoping Varejao can be serviceable in a revenge scenario. They've fallen in love with JAVALE MCGEE and figure they can get a fourth big via buyout/when they inevitably trade for one.

    Of course he is ring chasing, that's not a big deal. It's that he thought the Spurs were going to push him big cash money after playing for peanuts. That's a weird expectation. No one was going to pay him money and opting out of his deal was his sign that money didn't matter. Suddenly it did?
    I think he may not have cared about the money at first, and then at some point, he did start caring about the money he lost. That's the only reason that I can think of on why he felt disrespected.

    Nate Duncan does a sneaky job of hiding his subtle Warriors bias/fandom ,but you can detect it in his Dubs-centric podcast /twitter coverage..He is almost rooting for them in some instances.. Many folks call him out on it and he becomes defensive/sensitive ("Oh I am a Chicago guy who is just residing in the Bay area!" ) but you know it is lurking there when different fanbases accuses him of being a Warriors stan..

    Like I see many get into it with the likes Zache Lowe or Bob Voulgaris, but I haven't seen someone ever call them out for X team bias..My theory is --as you can see from Nate Duncan cover photo on twitter--he is probably hoping he could one day land a front office gig with the Warriors as some CBA/cap analyst or something (he is a lawyer)..

    He's a vet on a minimum contract. If he were like Simmons, a young(ish) player with some upside, definitely. However, no team is going to take him in a trade since he's about done and doesn't be a big enough contract to offer cap relief or to even really make a trade work.

    The guy is literally building a resume for a front-office job w/ the Duds which is why he even moved to the Bay.

    Doesn't matter if its an expiring contract if its for the minimum. No one is going to trade for it since David West makes no sense for a non-contending team with his contract offering no cap relief.

    you're really missing the point. his contract can be useful to making the numbers work out.

    especially in a trade that involves more than two teams.

    His minimum contract is worth $1.5mil, which really isn't going to be the difference in any trade since you only need to get the returning contracts values within 30% of the higher value. On top of that, no potential trading partner is going to want him as a throw-in, even a third team, since his contract offers no cap relief (min contracts don't even count towards the cap) nor is he a prospect/young player that will be playing beyond this year.

    Such a blessing he left. He was a cancer on the court when it mattered last year.

    It is such a shame to see him drop off so much into this season.
    People turn into spiteful short minded losers here.

    He was pretty much done last year, especially in the playoffs. Pop overplaying him against OKC was much to blame for the loss; though all of our bigs had their lunches eaten that series.

    Thanks guys. Wasn't there something also about him being recruited by the Dubs while still under contract to us? Can't remember. Either way, Lee and Dedmon are both better, as is Pau for his age. Hope the Dubs do dump him.
    I hope they don't.

    We don't like players that come off as selfless and then wanting to get paid after ting the bed in the playoffs. Just ask Derek Anderson what people around here think of that kind of "selfless" act. David West looked fake in every way by the time he left.
