I went on Pod Save America to discuss my plan to save America by nominating a presidential candidate who has views on cultural issues that voters agree with.
Thanks to @jonfavs for hosting me and raising great questions.

@SamoliansSam My thought process was his option year number plus 2 years at the taxpayer midlevel.
English
@grimethyme i still haven't fully digested the new cap.
but if they wanna do a 2/3 yr deal that helps them cap/apron wise.. and Dray's ok with being made whole that way.. we could def see some version of this..
w/b pretty shocked w/anything near 28 aav.
English
to fans bringing up *worth* with Dray - value/worth has NOTHING to do with paying him.
Dray turned down his (overpaid) option, so the team could chase Bron.. EVERY agent in the league is expecting GSW to make Dray "whole".
ramifications of not doing that.. w/b VERY bad for GSW.
English
@timkawakami It’s crazy cause the podcast is free and it’s all in the first 15 minutes.
English
Don't read aggregators.
Don't. Read. Aggregators.
JP@remyyperez
@SMHighlights1 @timkawakami Then why draft Yaxel
English
@SamoliansSam Agree completely. I think a reasonable 3 year option would be 42mil total.
1st year 16mil
2nd 14
3rd 12
English
to be clear..
i am NOT endorsing Dray getting paid beyond this season at that level of salary.. which makes no sense, given his current level of impact..
but this season... you HAVE to make him whole for the player option..
English
@damanr He’s a talented player whose main problem is that he hasn’t accepted what his role on the court is. Also he needs a better agent.
English
He's going to fit a hole in the roster, so from that POV, I understand the Lakers pursuit of Kuminga — but this is two teams with good coaches now that basically are saying "no thanks" to a young athletic wing, I remain pretty skeptical about what he'll be able to bring
English
@lightyrspod Nope. Doesn’t move the needle enough to justify 3 picks that will more than likely be in the lottery.
English
@jacobjbg I need these people to actually read the clutch points article and listen to TK pod, so they can stop screaming and use the rational parts of their brains.
English
A screenshot of a sentiment traveling around apoplectic Warriors fans. Folks! You are allowed to be mad. But you’re also gonna sound silly if you say patently false stuff. In what universe is any deal that doesn’t include Steph Curry something the Celtics would consider?
English
@timkawakami Having listened to the entire podcast this morning, I very much understand why you hate aggregation. This is a perfect example of the noise it creates.
English
People can't wait to let me know about the latest ridiculous screeching Warriors Fan Boy Aggregation of me.
You guys are insane. Don't really have to read me, so don't.
English
@KevinOConnor Have you listened to the whole podcast or are you just reacting to this out of context aggregation?
English
What a shame. Steph Curry is still one of the best players in the world. To not make an effort to win another title with him is truly a joke. And if you're not gonna do that, then you have to trade him. Instead, the Warriors are just wasting Steph's final years. So sad.
Legion Hoops@LegionHoops
REPORT: Warriors owner Joe Lacob is focused on building the team for the post-Steph era “What Lacob wants to do and this might get Warriors' fans mad, but he wants to build the next team after Steph Curry.” (via @timkawakami, h/t @TheNBABase)
English
@CurryForGame @timkawakami Everyone who is upset about this should listen to the entire podcast and hear the context of this answer.
English
.@timkawakami on Joe Lacob's goal:
"What Lacob wants to do and this might get Warriors' fans mad, but he wants to build the next team after Steph Curry. I don't know how possible that is, but Lacob has a very keen interest in 'This organization is going to show what it can do with Steph Curry and then after Steph Curry.' I don't think it's going to be as good myself, but that's what he wants to do."
English
@jjmaples55 @lightyrspod He literally just said that had nothing to do with the decision.
English
Again. A warriors fumble. They didn't want to pay the price to trade for and then pay AD.
JayTakes@SportsWithJay0
Rich Paul and Max Kellerman talking about the LeBron decision 🚨: “This is why i said all that stuff was false, all the speculation. And at the end of the day these guys are just doing their job. It was a layered decision across the board between Philly and golden state and he just really decided on Philly. Adding LJ with his experience, fighting through adversity, nick nurse has a guy that he can let police the team so the guys don’t turn on Nick.“ Seems like we were so close to a Steph x LeBron duo - @RichPaul4 @maxkellerman
English
@AndyKHLiu I prefer not getting LeBron if it meant spending real assets on AD.
English
Who cares!!!! Was Philly given any assurances when they traded for JAYLEN BROWN?? GO CLOSE THE DEAL
SM Highlights@SMHighlights1
LeBron James Didn’t Tell The Warriors To Trade For Anthony Davis. Per, @anthonyVslater “The Warriors have not been given any type of commitment from LeBron, like ‘hey, if you trade for Anthony Davis I’m 100% coming your way.’”
English
@AndyKHLiu Get ready for seven months of Malevy Leons discussion.
English
Maybe but end of day my team stinks AND is boring. And it’s only JULY
Seany J@utoracat
@AndyKHLiu Gotta be a part of you that is happy LeBron didn't come to gsw. I know I am.
English
@thejeffgomez71 @KevinOConnor 2 lottery picks. Moody is good but unfortunately hurt. Let’s also keep in mind that every team whiffs on picks. It’s bad but it happens.
English
@grimethyme @KevinOConnor This and whiffing on three lottery picks.
English
Who? What's out there? The Pelicans have so far resisted trading Trey Murphy. The Warriors have bypassed all chances to pursue MPJ. It's a pretty dry trade market. Odds are the Warriors are just back in the play-in once again, or even miss the playoffs entirely.
NBACentral@TheDunkCentral
The Warriors could now pivot and look to upgrade their roster via trade after missing out on LeBron James, per @MontePooleNBCS
English
@AndyKHLiu I think they’re more likely to just sign their own summer league prospects.
English
Yes yes just sign Bruce Brown and GP2 already we know. And yes if you wanna go Full Giants go get Klay back too
English
A decision that could define Brad Stevens' GM tenure...
pickuphoop@pickuphoop
Brad Stevens refusing to trade Hugo Gonzalez and Baylor Scheierman created the butterfly effect that sent Giannis to Miami and Jaylen Brown and LeBron to Philly
English
@HPbasketball Acting like either of those guys are worth assets is hilarious.
English
three-team! send AD to Philly, send EMbiid to a third team and get assets
Andrew Sharp@andrewsharp
Formal request to the Washington Wizards: Do not, repeat DO NOT, under any circumstances trade Anthony Davis for Joel Embiid
English
@samesfandiari If Tim Duncan is your favorite player you’re a grandpa. Doesn’t matter if you have grandkids or even kids. Your age is inconsequential. Appreciate that bank shot peepaw.
English
GRANDFATHERS favorite player?!

Spurs Nation@Spurs_Nation
Jayden Quaintance, on if he asked the Spurs about No. 21 after wearing it in college: “Nah, they cut that off pretty quickly, I'm not going to lie. As soon as I got drafted they were like, ‘Here’s a couple number options that you’ll have.’ They killed that dream pretty fast.”
English
Outside of a trade for star, could not be more excited for this pick.
True jack of all trades player (yes I know the connotations, with that) but Yaxel’s size feel and athleticism set him apart from other guys GSW have targeted in that role.
True positional versatility, a genuine ball handler at the forward spot with playmaking chops, and a developing jump shot with really good touch indicators.
Good start to the offseason.
