Can you PLEASE do a video on how trading Poole was beneficial to the Warriors and why trading Draymond wouldn’t have helped the books? Pretty please???
Maybe I can work it in, but I've covered some similar trades and extensions. Basically the Poole contract was long and very expensive. The warriors got to the end of the season and decided they'd made a mistake, so they sent him to washington. Washington has the hope that golden state didn't. Draymond had a player option for one more year and he opted out. He signed a cheaper deal than he probably could have gotten elsewhere, but the deal was long. He's content with 4 for 100 million and playing out the rest of his career with the warriors.
@@whatslaps I appreciate you so much!! Yes, I’ve been binging your content to learn more because it’s just what I needed. That just reminded me to like the videos. 😂 I’ll do that now. Thanks for your help!
@@whatslaps And with 20/20 hindsight by early February an NBA analyst said that missing Poole is a big problem for Golden State given how poorly Wiggins and Thompson are playing and given how poorly the team is doing (and Green's habit of getting suspended doesn't help mstters). 20/20 hindsight is amazing.
OMG, I felt like you just read my mind. I was thinking about trades and how the new CBA works and waiting for your youtube or tiktok to pop up. You're a mensch for making this content.
great question. Personally if I were building a team or just an organization in general, I'd make sure that I chose players who wanted to be there. If everyone is committed to the greater good and knows their role, you will be successful. Create a place where people want to come to work and let the chips fall where they may. (no pun intended.)
I know you mentioned Denver was able to make a trade in the finals because no players are involved. So does that mean NBA teams can trade draft picks all throughout the year ?
This stuff is way confusing, never thought about how much is involved with trade things and when/how they can happen. Didn't know trades could start from end of a teams season. Jazz are a good example of how much of all this trade stuff can play out. Ainge is definitely a top GM. A little convoluted how a lot of trade stuff has to work, kinda emphasizes how when offering contracts you have to think ahead and try and make sure it makes sense in case you want to change something up, impossible to predict the future obviously but still needs to be considered. Yeah wizards in for a rough few years at least it seems like. Big ups to you again, your shtuff always entertaining (and helpful), appreciate you fam.
The more I get into it, the more confusing it becomes. I'm finally at the point now where I get it and think it's pretty useful. Even tanking teams make a lot of sense. The NBA is really ecosystem, so without regulations like these it would totally fail. I always say there is a story behind every rules and in the NBA almost every exception is attached to a players name. Obviously the Derrick Rose rule and Bird rights aren't the technical names, but that's how we know them. I think the most overlooked truth of the NBA is that every team is full of top the %0.1 percent of basketball players in the world and a good team beats a bad team every night. Every team can win regardless of the state of the franchise.
I’m British and have no idea about anything basketball related but I find this whole draft thing really confusing because it leaves little to no room for a player to become a legend for a team…How often does a player stay at one team for a whole career?
