Bob Myers was recently live on the 95.7 The Game airways talking among other things, Golden State Basketball. One of the more noteworthy things Myers mentioned in his chat on the Damon, Ratto & Kolsky show was that he did not expect the Warriors to use the tax payer mid-level exception anymore.
"I don't think we use it, I think we tried, we put it out there for some players we thought were difference makers".

And his now-former teammate Draymond Green was cheerleading the guard’s decision to leave the Warriors, highlighting the benefits for Mannion’s career and rejecting critics saying the one-time Arizona backcourt player made the wrong choice.

Although the Warriors organization has mentioned publicly that they will take their time with the young center’s return, not rushing him into anything, my educated guess is that he will be cleared for action in time for training camp. That is extremely important as he needs to get on the court with Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green as soon as possible. That time spent with the Golden State core will be vital for his basketball development heading into his second year. He can’t miss those opportunities to get on the floor and get better. The caveat here is obviously that this is all pending his health.

Mannion, who was going to be on a two-way contract with the Warriors for this upcoming season, chose instead to sign with Virtus Bologna of the Serie A Basketball League in Italy. To fill his two-way slot, the Warriors have agreed to a deal with point guard Chris Chiozza. That move was reported prior to the announcement of Mannion’s departure.

The documentary will be produced by 35 year old Oakland native, Ryan Coogler. The young film maker ‘s resume is already eye-popping with box office hits like Black Panther, Creed, and Judas and the Black Messiah. A24 will produce and fully finance the project. This will be the first time that the American entertainment company will work in development with Unanimous Media, Curry’s production company.
Read MoreAs sure as the the sun comes up every morning, an NBA rookie will get their old tweets pulled up in the first few weeks or so following draft night. The Rockets’ newly drafted Joshua Christopher was no exception.
I was alerted of an image someone put together which contained a tweet compilation of sorts of Steph Curry slander. There was multiple tweets from 2016, all bashing Curry, and they were all from Christopher, also known as JayGup’s twitter page. Naturally, I posted it to twitter as some of the tweets were hilarious. Like the “Steven Adams > Steph Curry” one for example.
