2679191, Let me break down the KD free agency thing again
Posted by mrhood75, Fri Nov-16-18 05:57 PM
The only thing KD has ever said about free agency is that other people getting supermax deals and he wants one too. Only one place where he's getting that. All the "KD is LeBroning and that's means he's going to leave" is misguided. He's been opting every year to get more money until he's eligible to get a Supermax deal.

On that note, even if he leaves (he won't), the Warriors can't just slide in Cousins in his place. They're way over the cap and don't have his Bird rights. Only way he signs with the Warriors is if he's lousy when comes back this season. Which won't happen. He's gone, no matter what.

Klay can get the most money from the Warriors as well. If he leaves to go anywhere else (which he won't) it'll be for less than what the Warriors can offer him.

Signing KD won't determine whether or not the Warriors sign Draymond after the '19-'20 season. Money will. Or rather, whether they want to pay the massive amount of luxury tax to sign Draymond to a Supermax deal. If KD leaves (he won't), there will be more "pressure" to re-sign Draymond. If KD stays (he will), Myers and the owners will have to decide if they want three Supermax deals on the books when Draymond becomes a free agent.
