Watching Klay run his mouth is absolutely hysterical. This guy thinks he’s one of the superstars in this league because he had one big playoff game. I remember when he was somehow surprised he was left off the top 75 all time list last year too. :-) Steph is going to have to do a lot to carry that team this year. [Reply]

Definitely worth a trip if you’ve never been. One of the few arenas that pretty much always sells out. I would think the New Orleans game would be a fun matchup to watch. [Reply]

The UC is cool if only for seeing the Bulls banners hanging on one side and the Blackhawks hanging on the other. You know that building has seen some shit.
The immediate surrounding area is booty but its only a few blocks from Fulton Market and few more blocks from Wicker Park which have plenty to do pre/post game. [Reply]
The Lakers are shooting 33-148 on 3s this season. That 22.3% 3-pt FG pct is the WORST over any 4-game span by any team within a season in NBA history (min. 125 3-pt FGA). @ESPNStatsInfopic.twitter.com/eG3qtc2JcD
This is going to start a fight. Woj wouldn't use the term but it sounds like the owners are going to try and put in a hard cap.
Story filed to ESPN: The NBA is pursuing the implementation of an upper salary limit in its negotiations on a new collective bargaining agreement with the National Basketball Players Association, a systematic change that has been met with significant union resistance.

I think that is a good thing. I am a Warriors fan but they are going to pay $500 million in salary and luxury tax this year. That is hard to compete against. [Reply]

Thompson thinks he's one of the superstars in the league because for 6 years he was one of the NBA's most efficient scorers while also being an elite perimeter defender.
He had two major injuries and got older. He's not the player he once was. But for a relatively long period of time he was playing at a superstar level. He's about 70% likely to make the HoF someday. While I think I agree that he's not a top 75 all-time player, He's REAL close to the top 100, if not right inside it. [Reply]

What's your take on Draymond getting in? I for the life of me can't see it. [Reply]

Personally I think he's far more a product of his situation than Klay.
Warriors play team BB and feed off each other. Seems they have a core that has stuck together winning championships and have added pieces here and there over the years. That core has been Curry, Thompson, and Green. While Green has played an important part in that role I'm not sure he's hall of fame worthy. This core is like a Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman type setup.
KD could be considered part of that core for a bit but he hasn't done much outside the Warriors. [Reply]
