First hot take: Sounded more like OPJ wanted to come to a championship contender than try and work for a bigger contract. You wonder if the market for vet wings has just kinda dried up in terms of dollars. Trevor Ariza is also at vet min, although we kinda expected that. Age playing a huge factor. And I think it is all relative to the young long wings you can get in the Draft.

Fyi still waiting as of 307p PDT (was scheduled for 300p). Be sure to change the comments to Chronological, assuming that’s the best way to view all the major quotes. Also whatever I type, beware. Sometimes there’s typos, you don’t know how much time has passed between ellipses/thoughts, etc. Take it all with a grain of salt and we’ll have snippets later on https://youtube.com/letsgowarriors
