2024 NBA Season

I just hope that KAT will be traded to another team because his career will just go to waste if he stays there unless the Wolves will get another superstar that will help him then he might stay.

Put KAT in GSW and suddenly GSW will become one of the favorites to win the championship.

When Thompson is back next season, and Curry with very high confidence due to the big contract he got, I'm sure they'll be a tough team to beat.
This is a scenario that I don't know if will happen, but I think he fits a good team, so let's hope he'll get one.

He really fits there but the cap I don't know if GSW still have that to offer for him, unless he will be the one to adjust and accept much lesser contract.

It's good to see him playing with the splash bro, Green and Iggy that's surely a good title contender with a healthy splash bro
that will bring the first line for their offense, while Iggy and Green are the ball setters to find who's going to be the best option to take the shot.

KAT will have that open space inside knowing that the defense will always focus with the splash bro.

KAT and Draymond are both good passers, they'll become suddenly the old warriors that we saw in the past. However, they also need to improve their 2nd unit, and now that Iggy is back with the team, I think he can also be a big help for the 2nd unit. This may be a dream but it could happen as GSW has to compete with the teams that are upgrading their rosters like the LA Lakers and the Nets.

Because of that statement, I search for an article about the warriors getting KAT, and this is what I found.

The Blockbuster Trade Idea: Warriors Can Land Karl-Anthony Towns For Four Players And Four Draft Picks

He is a high paid player so the Wolves would demand a lot of players in return.
If GSW is willing to gamble with that, they'll improve as a team but the health of Thompson is still vital as GSW needs the splash brothers.

If the Warriors sign him, then they will have great potential next season. However, I guess this decision also might be critical for the Warriors because trading four players for KAT is too much. In this case, they will have a great starting lineup, but they also will have a very weak bench.

This would never happen. In your scenerio the Warriors give up no one.  Timberwolves would never do this trade because the 1st round picks they would get would likely be in the high 20s.  That's a dream machine trade.  For KAT to be moved it would have to be with multiple talented Youngs and multiple first round picks with the capability of those picks being lottery picks.  Ain't gonna happen with the warriors.

Why do I feel like I'm missing something with all these talks about KAT? He'll win a ring in another team? What? I don't think he plays hard enough to lift his team like Giannis does. I also think he has an attitude so it's hard for me to imagine him working with other superstars. GSW was already mentioned so imagine him scolded by Green.

I don't think GSW will bite on that. There will too much at stake and the same goes for T'Wolves. They just acquired D'Angelo Russell and they want to at least see first how the chemistry will fit with KAT. Because of injuries it was halted but the two was said to be bestfriends so it will be an easy task for them to be in sync at the basketball floor.
Now they also have Anthony Edwards so they are not that weak anymore. All they need is to prove it with a healthy year.

GSW will not for sure, they are already good to go with Klay coming back and Iggy to support Green and Steph. They still have looney to play as center and he's good if the injury already healed well.

Timberwolves got Beverly to add another defensive stopper, they can use him to back up the offensive attack of both DRussel and KAT

It will depend now on how the coaching staff will blend the chemistry of these players to win the game.

It's going to be interesting seeing Golden State playing this year having everyone back and healthy.  I at least hope that Klay is back and healthy, not having him on the team is such a bummer, of course not just for the Golden State Warriors but for NBA fans.  Him and Curry are such unbelievable shooters, it's just so fun watching them do their thing night in and night out ( even if I can't stand Curry and his cockiness, he's amazing).

you could say if this happened like a gamble that risked everything for the sake of a KAT. indeed the possibility to become a solid team in the future and their potential is very big but on the other hand their reserve players are not in a favorable condition if the warriors believe in releasing 4 players for a KAT.
but on the other hand when KAT is indeed brought in the lineup of warriors will be a little more different and more vicious

I am curious how it will go this year for them.  The league has had some time to adjust to the new shooter's paradise NBA and the Warriors have lost a lot of main pieces while Draymond is very much on the downhill slide of his career.  I'm sure they'll come back strong and be a lock for the playoffs, but I don't see them as a contender.  Wiseman would have to develop very quickly in order for that to happen.  I suspect we'll see some trading or free agent signing before the season starts for them, but I'd be surprised if they get further than the second round of the playoffs this coming year.  No matter what though, it'll be great to see the splash brothers back together again.

KAT is not as valuable player as everyone thinks, he is definitely not a scrub neither but he is not as valuable as people make it out to be. Wolves are acting as if KAT is something special, I would say just get picks for him, get as many picks as you can, if you can get just 2-3 first round picks from a team, then just get another player that may worth one first round pick and trade that player too, so it will be like give KAT get 2-3 picks plus Jrue, then trade Jrue and get 1 more first round pick.

Those type of thing is quite important and I would say that it is definitely going to be very valuable for them, trade D'lo while you are at that as well. They need to properly rebuild, I do not understand why they are not doing that at all, they should be able to basically just trade everyone else because it makes no sense to be this level of a team, totally useless.

According to his stats, I think he is really valuable.
https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/t/townska01.html

you can barely see a big man who had that kind of stats, if you'll ask me to rank the best Center in the league now, I'll definitely put KAT in the top 3.
Maybe people just have a different opinion,  but KAT would not become one of the highest-paid players now if he does not have the skills.

Anybody talking about how Cade Cunningham the NBA’s #1 draft pick is getting paid his signing bonus 100% in Bitcoin through a partnership with BlockFi? That’s nuts… I can’t believe that this sort of thing is becoming normalized in professional sports. I hope he makes a ton of cash and becomes a major ally in crypto. Certainly others will be following in his footsteps.

Surely they will, especially if they will find out how lucrative it is to make money in crypto. Spencer Dinwiddie seemed to be the first man I know who is promoting crypto, but now, we have other players who are popular as well that are into crypto, it's a good sign for adoption, eventually, some players would just ask to get paid in crypto than in cash.

Well, crypto companies are going big for their advertisement and partnerships with the sports business, which kinda good thing for us all in crypto space as it gives Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency an exposure for a possible additional adoption.

This is gonna be a win-win situation for the Rookie as he were able to make "pretty decent amount of Bitcoin" (I'm quite sure it's a big amount). He can just hold it and come back when Bitcoin hits a 6 digit figure.
I've seen a few athletes in different sports who were receiving crypto as their bonuses and as a few percentage of their salary.

A decent amount are doing it now.  When you consider these Rookies were 8-9 years old when bitcoin started coming around they grew up with it so it's getting normalized.  I always said it will take a generation to become "normal" and we are almost there.  A ton of athletes are talking about it, which should be fun to watch.  I'm a cade fan now

It will make crypto more popular and of course, the betting sites as well because when we talk about sports, sports betting is always linked to the mind of the gamblers. More players getting into crypto will make the organization aware and they'll eventually adopt as well to compete with the new trend.

It's very good news and I believe it will have a long-term positive effect on both players and crypto itself.

Great news for Terry Rozier, he had an amazing season with the Hornets, he got rewarded.

Terry Rozier, Hornets Agree on 4-Year, $97M Max Contract Extension

The Charlotte Hornets have reached an agreement with guard Terry Rozier on a four-year, $97 million maximum contract extension through the 2025-26 NBA season.

Aaron Turner, Rozier's agent, confirmed the deal to Shams Charania of Stadium and The Athletic.

It's nice that he did not play with the Celtics anymore because he will not get that kind of contract.

I agree with you. I also doubt there will be a team that will offer him that kind of contract. I appreciate that the Hornets see his worth. There is no other point guard that is fit with the Hornet's system but Rozier.

But that shouldn't stop there. Hornets is still considered as a non-competitive team on their conference. If they can grant that kind of contract, they should try to sign a big name as much as possible.

It's not that the Hornets see is worth more than they have to overpay players to draw interest.  Unfortunately there are some teams that can't draw free agents to sign and Hornets are one of them.  They have to pay and hope that the player lives up to the pay.  With that being said they have a nice core of young players and are a piece or 2 away from being serious contenders.
