In a market that just saw DeMarre Carroll get 4/60, this is a steal. Only going to get better, and easily the most impactful player on the squad.

With less future cap space to work with, I wonder if we'll start seeing some more trading from Cho and company. Some tough decisions need to be made now.

Funny that Steph revealed today he never plans on testing free agency so they say "screw it, let's pay some people." I would've been ok with a 2 year deal. But he is made of glass and just lost his shooting coach. This was an overpay and a perfect example of why they aren't anywhere close to being better than mediocre.

I'm sorry, but nothing in this post is close to being correct...

1. As far as Steph goes, he said he's not thinking about free agency right now. And why would he when he has a few years left?

2. You clearly don't understand how the NBA free agency market works, because 4/52 is about the going rate for a wing player these days. With MKG's improvement to go along with how much he already impacts the game, he could be ready to cash in on a max deal at the end of this deal.

3. MKG is the reason this team wins more than 15 games a year, not the other way around.

Also, this isn't the NFL. Any GM can easily turn over a roster overnight to accommodate any acquisition they'd like to make. If a star expresses interest, you make it happen. Look at the Cavs' payroll as evidence.

Awesome!  Came here to post the Steph news, and this is the first I'm seeing of this...  I like it.   With the cap growing exponentially, this is a bargain.  BUT, I want to know if this takes us over the luxury tax, because if so, I have no doubt in my mind that we're making some more deals because MJ does not want to pay that unless the team proves they are a contender first.

1. Steph said free agency isn't appealing to him and the Bay Area is "home to me and my family." It's not happening.

2. I'm one of the only guys that ever posts in these topics other than you. No need to tell me I don't understand how NBA free agency works. I realize that guys get waaaay more than they're worth if that's what you're saying. I realize Valanciunas just got $16 million per year in his deal.

3.I just don't think it's smart to commit $13 million per year to a guy that has missed over 20 games the past 2 seasons. 

Don't be rude and give me the "this isn't the NFL" stuff. I realize that and I can differentiate the two. I realize the NBA is player dictated. C'mon man, don't be insulting. I'm not an idiot. But you don't have to write a book explaining why we should give a guy $13 million for his defense and offensive potential. I don't dislike MKG. I just think it's an overpay.

Well again, with Curry, he's not thinking about free agency because it's not time for him to think about free agency. When the time comes, he will begin to think about free agency, and the NBA landscape could look very different in two or three years, and that includes the Warriors.

Apologies for the rudeness, I just get sick of folks always claiming "overpay" every time a contract is handed out. Given the market set this offseason, this is a great deal for a player who already impacts the game for this team and has a ton of room to improve. You'll take that guy on a second contract any time.

Also, as has been documented on here before, the franchise has not been successful because they cannot draft well at all and can't catch a break in the lottery (Fun fact: since 2004, Charlotte's lottery pick has never jumped up, only stayed the same as the odds or fallen.) Cap management has actually been one of the strong points of the franchise.

It's an extension (doesn't start until next season), so there's no bearing on this year's cap.

      Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
