Huge fan of present participles

@samesfandiari Agree. And better to try and move pieces now while other teams are tied up waiting on him in the summer.

@NathanCHubbard Incredible album. Strange outlier in there. Even in the quieter songs, Vs. has a sense of fury and momentum and this jam-session vibe shift always felt out of place. Still a 10 out of 10 (with one note?)

@nathan_h_b You are describing me after my evening run.

[Brandon Cavender @brandoncavender]

@timkawakami Could you envision a scenario soon where teams start throwing big money to lure top execs given 2nd apron? Imagining a huge offer for Sam Presti similar to the Dodgers and Andrew Friedman. Feels like we’re firmly entering the moneyball era of basketball.

[Brandon Cavender @brandoncavender]

@timkawakami Wild how many people are furious about the lack of deadline moves while also insisting they are contenders as-is. I was hoping for something on the margins if it made sense but this feels like a multi-year project right now.

[Brandon Cavender @brandoncavender]

@timkawakami It was interesting to hear his own frustration with the slow pace of FA. Everyone wants the finished product to come together faster, and the frenetic analysis of each move is a contrast to how things have to come together strategically. It’s the job, but also the challenge.

[Brandon Cavender @brandoncavender]

@timkawakami Feels like we’ll learn a lot about this in his absence. During the Clippers game it just didn’t seem like Steph was getting those instinctual screens that give him the extra space to get a great shot. Understand the stats but it seemed noticeable when watching.

@zlind76 Can you still feel the Butler-flies

@timkawakami I’d much rather have spacing than size for size-sake.

[Brandon Cavender @brandoncavender]

@timkawakami Shooting threats off the bench to help spacing. Poole needs to be better, especially defensively, but I also think losing players like Porter and even Lee made it harder for him to do his thing. Also someone to apply rim pressure and get the “tough two’s.” (Credit: TK)

[Brandon Cavender @brandoncavender]

@timkawakami I was trying to figure out what the timing could look like. If he is moved this summer do they need to match dollars under his new contract figure? I assume so, but I wasn’t clear when the extension salary is recognized for the purpose of trades.

[Brandon Cavender @brandoncavender]

@drumartin If you think that’s bad, you should see my text thread with a couple of my buddies. You’d think the other Warriors fan in the group was rooting for the Lakers.

[Brandon Cavender @brandoncavender]

@timkawakami Even if his single assignment is to drive with force to the basket and try to draw fouls from AD I could see him being valuable. Other than Steph, no one else on the team really finishes looking for contact.

[Brandon Cavender @brandoncavender]

@nathan_h_b And Giant!!!

[Brandon Cavender @brandoncavender]

@melancholaholic Understated but extremely confident record-making. Also these songs sounded amazing as part of the live show.

[Brandon Cavender @brandoncavender]

@saysAaron Looks awesome

[Brandon Cavender @brandoncavender]

@timkawakami It’s incredible how many times they tried to find a Looney replacement to see how irreplaceable he’s become.

[Brandon Cavender @brandoncavender]

@samesfandiari I think they will find the player that gets the most value back in a trade is Poole.
