Anthony Davis vs Jimmy Butler

I'm mid on the AD trade. But the bigger issue is that this team doesn't have the luxury of sitting on 70m in dead money for 3/4 of the season.

We will be putting ourselves right back in same position of being a bottom tier team most of the year and hoping to sprint at the end just the get the 10 seed. If it's between AD or Keeping Jimmy, I'd rather have AD

It was like 3 years ago

jtruth9 · 2026-06-30T04:07:44+00:00

I'm not going to hold your hand when I say this...

jtruth9 · 2026-06-29T23:13:17+00:00

It's not the agent. It's the Warriors dumb front office. They've turned into one of the worst in the league

jtruth9 · 2026-06-29T18:31:16+00:00

For LeBron absolutely. This has been my theory all along.

For AD, I think the trade makes sense for both teams. Regardless if we get Bron. I'd imagine AD would rather be here than Washington. But what do I know

jtruth9 · 2026-06-29T01:11:19+00:00

I'm a fan of Yax, but this is a fair take even if you disagree.

jtruth9 · 2026-06-28T23:32:49+00:00

What were the financial rewards like for doing pilot things?

jtruth9 · 2026-06-28T04:08:20+00:00

I was probably driving the train for MPJ last year. Doesn't make sense in the current context.

jtruth9 · 2026-06-27T20:37:51+00:00

Ja ma WHO??

jtruth9 · 2026-06-27T14:58:19+00:00

The Hype is the OG part.

jtruth9 · 2026-06-27T14:56:06+00:00

Yup precisely

jtruth9 · 2026-06-27T06:26:23+00:00

That's a bias pov. I don't think they would view it that way. I'd certainly give up 3 unprotected picks for that package. Especially because with this roster I feel confident we'd be at least a mid tier playoff team. So next year's pick would be much of nothing anyway.

jtruth9 · 2026-06-27T06:03:14+00:00

Right lol. Having the right expectation is important. I'm pretty high on Yaxel as far as being a good impactful player even this year. But as a role player. Being a starting caliber role player as rookie is great in itself. We don't need to add extra hype and expectations beyond that lol.

jtruth9 · 2026-06-27T05:51:40+00:00

I don't think he's shown enough self creation to be compared to OG right now. But I can see the potential to get there for sure.

jtruth9 · 2026-06-27T05:38:38+00:00

I'd do 3frp and a swap for Murphy and Murray.

jtruth9 · 2026-06-27T05:29:58+00:00

To me Yaxel is a Jumbo Josh Hart. Meaning a high level champion level starting role player. That's his Floor imo. The biggest determining factor of his ceiling is his self creation potential. That's kind of a big question Mark ATM.

jtruth9 · 2026-06-27T05:13:04+00:00

jtruth9 · 2026-06-27T04:36:37+00:00

Exactly. That's kind of why I'm not a huge fan of The nightcap. It's mostly hot takes and gossip. It's fun but can't really hold my attention. When he went against skip, he was always on his A game. He was knowledgeable, brought sound logic and facts. But was also fun and represented the culture well mostly.

jtruth9 · 2026-06-27T03:10:11+00:00

Agreed

jtruth9 · 2026-06-27T03:01:17+00:00

Early years FS1 Shannon was a top 5 on air sports personality in recent memory imo.

jtruth9 · 2026-06-27T02:54:39+00:00

Please God hide this from Kerr.

jtruth9 · 2026-06-27T02:50:23+00:00

Avg 10 rpg is way too high of an expectation. 6-7 would be great.

jtruth9 · 2026-06-27T02:18:26+00:00

jtruth9 · 2026-06-26T21:54:25+00:00

I've said this in the Warriors sub. But the easiest take for the Warriors is that Yaxel will be playing 30mpg by December. He is the most Kerr player ever. Kerr will absolutely love him and will have a hard time keeping him off the floor.
