I think this is just a blindspot for Silver. He was probably convinced by all the wrong sorts of people that this was a mistake, when Ja could have killed someone and would be permanently banned from every gun club I've ever heard of.

If Ja's contuining this kind of behaviour, I'm more worried for his life than any amount of missed games tbh. Grizzlies should trade him immediately, no way he's never going to do that shit again.

cant remember a time where a perennial all nba player is traded because of their baggage. i think most teams would rather take the chance and work it out with the player and hope they stop being stupid.

i think the suns are going to be fucked a while after this beal trade. he doesnt make them better, and does not address any of their depth issues. nothing like buying a team that was just in the finals a few years ago and going straight into the gutter in 3 years.

25 games is strategic. I think it keeps Ja from winning any of the end of season awards that lets him get paid a higher max tier. It might actually help the Grizz assuming he fixes his act.

i think he already lost the super max due to being not on any the all nba teams this past season

It occurred to me this morning why the NBA is being so strict with Ja.

Ja's behavior looks ESPECIALLY bad when you consider what the NBA has been promoting in its social justice campaigns the last few years. If the NBA didn't crack down on him and crack down on him hard they would look really stupid after getting involved in that particular issue.

Paul to the warriors is real confusing.

what is this shit trade by the warriors? poole AND other assets for paul? make NO sense, in that paul isnt worth that much

basketball wise, it does give them a very capable back up PG

Must have been really displeased with Poole's spat with green, and his big contract, and inconsistencty to get rid of him like that

The new CBA is far more punishing for teams that are way over the cap. The Warriors need to shed salary.

Dillon Brooks is an FA. If the Warriors sign him to pair with Draymond and CP3, opponents are going to need a cup.

CP38 is a 50m dollar liability come playoff time. This lineup with him and Draymond scares no one and will be abused so hard. This must be a cap move with a buyout incoming or i don't understand it.

warriors are still win now, they are going to keep paul. the cost cutting moves are next offseason when paul get waived (his salary is non-guaranteed next year, or they trade him at the deadline for help) and they sign klay to a much lower number (he's making like 42 mil)
