With the 15th roster spot the Warriors signed their best on ball defender, best steal generator, and best rebounder, who also cuts off ball and has athleticism that pops even relative to NBA players. And they did that after basically offering him to every other team first.

How is that even possible????

So I’m super exited about GPII and have been for some time. I’ve also been wondering how risky a move it was when they cut him this year instead of giving the guaranteed salary. As I understand any team could have picked him up until he “cleared waivers”. Any insights on this process? How good is the intel that someone does or does not have teams that might float an offer?

Westbrick bricks the 3 for the loss. How did Lebron think getting him was a good idea

Enjoyed hearing Kerr give Draymond credit for calling him on sulking - and improving. OTOH, can you blame Kerr for sulking the way the Dubs looked in the first 5 minutes.

Still, GPII was fantastic, and it was so much fun watching mostly subs take over in the last half of the third quarter, and again after they took a few punches from the Hornets in the 4th.

Nice E1P, good explanations of structure and improv.

And while I was watching this, the Thunder have taken the lead over the Lakers! Go OKC! I give GP2 credit for this too! He can do anything! Now if they can just hold the lead …

We have a stretch forward playing the 5 at the top of the key making a pass from the arc to our small power point forward under the basket? I give up, I don't know what basketball is anymore...

Looks like the Warriors signed a center with the 15th spot after all.
