2023 Offseason Thread

What do you think San Antiono does with the cap space? It seems like not many teams give up a 1st to dump bad contracts like from a few years back.

Is it crazy I think that's insane? The man just won a championship. But even mentioning the others. Your getting rid of him after coming up short after one season.

Doesn’t sound like he’s being kicked out, he doesn’t wanna be there.

Oh that's completely different. My bad.

He wants to be there but the issue as it always is, is that they disagree on how much he should be paid.

Article from The Athletic says they were exchanging offers/counter-offers a few months back but it’s been quiet since.

From that article: “The Warriors have not yet presented an offer that has blown Myers away, but there’s also a growing sense that even a competitive market offer — near the top of the executive food chain — may not keep Myers with the franchise that he joined in April 2011 as an assistant general manager before his promotion to GM in April 2012.

Myers — the architect of four NBA championships over the past nine seasons — has received significant interest for lucrative positions with private equity funds and roles within other pro sports leagues, sources added. There’s a possibility that Myers could work in media after his contract expires in June. He dipped his toes into the podcast world this past year.”

Same article:

Quote:

The Golden State Warriors and president of basketball operations Bob Myers have had no substantial contract extension talks in months and the sides are bracing for the likelihood that Myers could walk away from the franchise, league sources told The Athletic. His contract is up on June 30. Both sides exchanged offers and counter-offers several months ago, and there has since been no traction on a new deal, league sources say. The Warriors have not yet presented an offer that has blown Myers away, but there’s also a growing sense that even a competitive market offer — near the top of the executive food chain — may not keep Myers with the franchise.

I do think the Sixers are stuck between a rock and a Hard(en) place(dad joke lol). Harden has all the leverage. It's almost similar to Tobias contract situation after Jimmy left. They would have had to let Tobias leave for nothing or give him the deal he wanted. This is a similar situation. Morey himself said yesterday that he suggested to ownership that he thought firing Doc was the right move to make. I don't really want to see D'Antoni. That would feel like a move to appease Harden. Even though, there are reports that MDA was the guy for the Sixers before Doc got fired by the Clippers and Embiid was okay with that. But MDA is 72 now, so at best you're talking a 3-4 year stint. I don't want to see Harden with a bigger role. He kept bringing up that he's made a sacrifice with his game. I don't want to see Harden dribbling for 20 secs again. I think the cap savings for Harden leaving might just be $9M.

More reports that they don't expect the candidate list to grow. Listening to Morey's presser, it seems like he prefers an experienced coach, so I can almost eliminate Cassell. So out of the remaining guys, I'm leaning towards Williams. I would say Nurse, but I can see him not gelling with guys
