@sccchenster @gswcba The only way Draymond takes less is if he is extended another year. Otherwise why would he not exercise his option?

[Josh S. @joshbalt]

@dieter The Warriors have bird rights to Porzingas so he can be brought back at whatever salary they agree on. Melton is the one who likely won’t be back bc the Warriors can only offer an 8% raise or the taxpayer mid level neither of which will be enough.

[Josh S. @joshbalt]

@gswcba Realistically they can offer Melton two years at about $12.5M with the second year being a player option and then he can decline the second year and get a 175% raise on that money.

[Josh S. @joshbalt]

@ApexJones22 Hield will probably be bought out and released by Atlanta (or just released bc he only has $2M guaranteed next season) so the Warriors can sign him for the minimum next season if they want.

[Josh S. @joshbalt]

@nagk01 @gswcba Kuminga has to sign the qualifying offer by October or he is also a RFA next off season

[Josh S. @joshbalt]

@gswcba I don’t think Brooklyn builds by handing out a max contract to Kuminga. He’s not that valuable at this point.

@samesfandiari Lebrons attitude hasn’t resulted in winning and neither has Durant’s.

@dainese why does your customer service not respond? I used your web page to alert on failed airbag deployment and receive no answer

[Josh S. @joshbalt]

@danhibbertSWFC @hatternick it shouldn't have been a penalty, the ball hits the shoulder area above the sleeve cut-off. While a ref can't see it with these angles and slow-mo they shouldn't call something that marginal given the implications

[Josh S. @joshbalt]

@gswcba Ainge is all about pushing the deal value to his side and has no reason to rush since they're not playing for this coming season.

@minakimes The show isn’t even watchable

[Josh S. @joshbalt]

@samesfandiari They didn’t pass on him, you’re just regurgitating media rumor for no particular reason

[Josh S. @joshbalt]

@KerithBurke Beal blew the play by going for the ball, he ended up out of position

[Josh S. @joshbalt]

@Irenezhao_ But then you’re also not a sleezy douchebag

[Josh S. @joshbalt]

@Irenezhao_ Yes bc that’s where you’re working now

@OakStadiumWatch They need about 140k signatures, divided up among the counties to qualify for the ballot.

@MaskedMoney2 @EastBay_Sports Troll/straw man alert

[Josh S. @joshbalt]

@Mic_VegasSphere @OakStadiumWatch close to zero. the broadcast rights aren't worth anything closer to $60m/yr now and the amount any company will pay to show the A's playing in Reno is close to zilch.

@JayCuda @enosarris Technically the strike zone would have no upper limit.

@Elmanogonsalves San Jose has a more affluent population than Oakland and crime is strongly associated with income.
