They are in big trouble though with this Poole contract unless he can revert to what he was last year if Draymond leaves. Or they can try to trade him but not sure who take him at this point. ****ing 0 pts and only 9 for Klay geez.

Lakers are in a similarly tough spot with Russell.
It's really a pay now or pay later question. If they let him walk, they'll be worse off for it over the duration of James contract because, unless they can get a sign and trade done (and maybe they can), they won't be able to replace him with a mid-level player that has nearly his ability.
But if they extend him, that cap hit's gonna be a REAL problem when it comes time to replace LeBron after he retires.
I wonder if there's any way they can get him to sign a 2 year deal for massive $$. If he's smart he wouldn't do it. He needs to leverage those bird rights.
This middle class players are tough to figure out. They're not worth what you have to pay for them but they're clearly better than the alternatives available when you're a cap team.
