Cap Gurus, What will GS have to give up?

[ernest787]

See le. What do the Dubs have to do now to make the numbers work to bring in KD?

[CGD]

This has a good analysis:

[Spurs9]

Probably most of roster curry is only 13 million which even makes this possible

Not really. Has them thinking Barnes is only gonna make 9M, when he's actually gonna more than double that...

[ernest787]

thanks. Yeah I figure Barnes is out.

I know they were saying they were going to keep Livingston as well early in the offseason, but that doesn't seem possible now, right?

I think that's referring to the cap hold, and saying they can offer him something closer to market because they have his bird right so they can go over. Like Kawahi last year, they just have to sign others first. The bigger question is whether they want to match Dallas' max offersheet and approach that tax line.

Oh yes, probably right.

Their depth is gone. They'll be so top heavy it actually could work out ok for us. And now OKC is done.

Really wasn't that bad a day for the Spurs.

Agreed.

Agreed, the Warriors made a lateral move and destroyed OKC. Warriors will be just as hard to beat this year as last.

Spurs' chess move up next. I imagine the Duncan contract gets used one way (plays) or another (dealt for incoming salary).

Will be interesting to see if any min vets want to ring chase in GS

[fundamental9903]

Barnes signs max deal with Dallas. Trade Bogut for a draft pick. Renounce Ezeli's right and make him a free agent. That's all they have to do.

[Mouth is Bleeding]

Barnes will just sign somewhere else. They replace him with KEVIN DURANT! Renounce Ezeli yeah...

Trade Bogut is all they have to do. Other teams should collude against them here.

[DPG21920]

See le. What do the Dubs have to do now to make the numbers work to bring in KD?

If they let go of Bogut (trade), Festus (renounce) & Barnes (renounce) - GS has:

Curry/Klay/KD/Green/?

Livingston/Iggy/Looney/Jason Thompson/Damion Jones

That has them at almost 93M and then only min contracts and the room exception (or trades obviously) to fill out/improve.

[BillMc]

Probably a stupid question, but anyway Spurs could get Bogut out of this? And would we want him?

[-21-]

Shoot, so they get to keep Iggy? They're still pretty stacked tbh.

[itzsoweezee]

GSW is going to be fine. I'm sure a bunch of ring chasing vets are going to line up for minimum salaries like west did last year.

[HarlemHeat37]

Damn, they're still stacked

[ducks]

if I am gas I want iggy not bogut bout is always hurt

[hsxvvd]

The test of the league should tell em to go themselves and refuse any deals to clear up the necessary space to sign him.

[Shastafarian]

[gambit1990]

will livingston be available ???

[r0drig0lac]

no matter, they have three of the best shooters all time at its peak

[024]

They will lose Barnes and Bogut (Mavs have already agreed to take on Bogut's salary and sign Barnes to max).

They can re-sign Ezeli to whatever they want since they have his bird rights. If another team threw big salary, not sure if the Warriors will match. Might not have a choice since Ezeli is way better than whatever they can get with the vet min or exceptions.

So it'll be: Curry, Thompson, Durant, Green, Ezeli with Livingston (option picked up already) and Iguodola coming off the bench. Plus any random ring chasing veteran (David West). There's no question the Warriors will keep enough depth to secure the finals appearance.
