Since post JB-injury Dubs are likely a play-in team (or worse) and Jimmy doesn't appear to be going anywhere, I wonder what kind of return they could get for Melton? He's playing great and would be a great addition to most contenders. Dubs won't be able to afford him next year. Sure the Dubs would suffer on the court in the short-term, but the return (protected FRP?) might be worth it since it looks like they'll run it back next year in hopes that a half-year of Jimmy might keep them in contention.
The thing is, he's on a rehab contract, and they traded him last year.
I think that trading him twice in two years might reflect negatively in future years, if we wanted to bring another player in on a rehab contract. Last year was pretty justifiable, because he was out for the year. This year it would just be a move. He's done nothing wrong, and vastly outplayed his contract.
The exception would be if he wanted out, of course, but that's doubtful.
I think other players would understand why the Dubs would move him, just as they did last year because of his own injury. Dubs aren't going anywhere this year and they won't have Melton next year. Might as well get something back for their investment.
Unless he wants to be traded, I'd rather just honor the commitment, appreciate what he gives us, and send him on his way in the summer with our thanks.
The last thing the Warriors need is a disgruntled Butler on the roster and getting paid north of $50 million.The only option as I see is to commit to not trading him.
He was never on a minutes restriction when he returned from injury earlier this season and playing on both sides of back to back. Reinjury was inevitable.
Phoenix Suns head coach Jordan Ott reveals that Devin Booker left the locker room in crutches. He was struggling to put pressure on it when leaving the court with the injury.
Nope - Jarace Walker made 4 clutch FTs and Isaiah Joe missed a potential tying three-pointer, but it looked like his foot was on the line so it would have only been a two-pointer even if he made it

I get that Steph has been vocally altruistic when it comes to acknowledging that the FO shouldn't sell the future to buy him a chance, but the more I think about it, he can't help but feel like they owe it to him to mortgage a few years of their future for one or two last runs. If that's what it takes to get Giannis or a few legit players to up the chances of a run this year and next, yeah I think they owe it to him.
Of he retires and they essentially gave up no futurew first round picks that will be effing wild and mal practice. 2 picks should be ready to go.
I'm guessing the issue is they haven't gotten close enough to a trade worth the picks. Still, if a player is worth 2 picks today I would think you could get 1 back later

with all that is going on in Minneapolis, this game just seems like it should not happen

Or, we could trade him where he to go… but I’m not down that bad just yet

Aaron Gordon has reinjured his hamstring.

wow that sucks
War of attrition going on here.
Every year…
Seems like the fast pace is causing players to get hurt more often. Either that, or teams aren't focusing on improving strength and conditioning.
I'm leaning towards option A
Definitely option A
Ugh.
Woof…
Pacers beat the Thunder 117-114.
Just seven months too late ☹️
73 and who?
Pacers defeat the Thunder, who have now tied the 2016 Warriors in the loss column in 36 fewer games. Congrats?
Need to go 36-0 to tie those 2016 Warriors……
73-9 is a lot better than 37-9, no?
I’m gonna go out on a limb and say yes. Call me crazy.
you crazy
I’m gonna need to see your math on this…
Of course, if you were dyslexic, they might look to be the same
Pacers finally got their revenge for the first game of the season (and the finals, of course)
Pacers are gonna choke this away aren’t they?

Barely clinging to a one point lead with 7.8 seconds left and the ball.
and shooting around 55% from the line tonight
Making ‘em at the end… so far…
Hah, Siakem missed two st the end but no time left and up three
