Team USA in the gold medal game: Get out of the way, let Curry cook
The Warriors: But wouldn't it be better to see if the kids can play?

The Warriors have, in a year, turned Jordan Poole, Klay Thompson, and a first-round pick into a trade exception.
BREAKING: Free agent Klay Thompson plans to join the Dallas Mavericks on a three-year, $50M deal with a player option, sources tell ESPN. Thompson ends his historic Warriors run as part of a multi-team sign-and-trade that’ll also send Josh Green to Charlotte.

Javy Lopez has become an absolute delight on the Giants' TV broadcast. Always been a really sharp guy, but it's really come across this season – elite analysis. As the Giants go to the bullpen more and more in the booth, the lefty has to be the No. 1 option moving forward.

The Giants traded Jorge Soler (.279 /.404/.605 in his last 14 games) because, to quote DBO Farhan Zaidi:
"The deal (Monday) night was a lot about creating at-bats for Luciano, who has really come a long way offensively"
Luciano got 21 at-bats before being sent down.

Say what you will about Jordan Poole (heaven knows I wasn't a fan), but Mike Dunleavy turned him into less than nothing in more than a year. Egregious asset management.
Hell, he lost a first-round pick (t20p) for the privilege of having a year of Chris Paul (worthless).

Warriors' 10-man rotation (pending the Hield S+T)
5. Green - 4. Kuminga - 3. Wiggins - 2. Melton - 1. Curry
5. Jackson-Davis - 4. Slo-Mo - 3. Hield - 2. Moody - 1. Podziemski
Deep, no doubt, but hardly formidable in a loaded West.

Plus: Much, much better defense. [1.81 combined D-LeBron between Melton and Slo-Mo last season, -0.69 from CP3, KT]
Minus: Paul and Thompson combined for 50 points created (points and points created off assists) every night. Melton and Slo-Mo? 36.
So again, let's call it even

I'm usually pro-team in situations like this, because normal people root for teams and not players.
But my god, just write the man a blank check.
Trent Williams has never once messed around with anything in his life. Do not test this man in any capacity.
With preseason over, Trent Williams plans to continue his holdout unless his contract is reworked, placing Week 1 availability for
#49ers
into focus.

Klay wants respect.
In the NBA, that typically means money.
And yet he's poised to take half of what the Warriors offered him before the season (a contract offer that was apparently the reason he's leaving.)
An enigmatic man stays enigmatic.

No-man's land. Not in a position to create serious cap space anytime soon (unless they trade Wiggins, pass on Kuminga extension), but not close to the luxury tax, either. Just stuck with what they have, which isn't good enough.
Updated salary outlook for the Warriors.
11 players under contract for $146.2M

• Klay Thompson Sign-&-Trade
• $12.8M NTMLE

Ok, 3yr/$50 is much more reasonable and what I was thinking he's worth. Crazy that he turned down $24m per from Warriors to get $16m per on Mavs.

The Giants, ever .500, are now 6.5 back in the Wild Card. It’s been over for a while but even the homers can’t say they have a shot now.
Three Wild Card teams per league and this team couldn’t even stay in it until Sept.

The best development of this football season has been the truly unhinged behavior of Cal fans. The public relations of the East Bay's one true team is under elite management.
My prediction for tomorrow, Cal wins and the Hayward fault opens up to reveal Oski rising towards the heavens, ushering in a new age of Cal Football.

Big takeaway from Santa Clara today:
This team missed Trent Williams in the locker room as much as they missed him on the field.
On a team with countless vet leaders, they all look up to 71. A true leader of men, and a teddy bear behind the scenes.

I’ve never once understood the backlash to 9a/10a football (on TV). What the hell do you guys all do until Noon on Saturdays, east coast? Can’t watch football all day if you don’t start until the PM.
80% of the people who assume life in California is bad would do a complete 180 if they got this life for just one (1) weekend of football starting at 9 and ending at 9.
(20% would still be mad about the cost of living and hey fair is fair)

A nice, solid move for a nice, solid player who is a blast to watch because of his unique style.
The Warriors need like four more of these moves.

Lamb gets $100M guaranteed and a WR-record $38M signing bonus in a deal done by Tory Dandy of CAA. He’s the 2nd highest paid non-QB in NFL history.

Aside from getting a true No. 2 (looking at No. 23 in SLC), the

The “best rotation in baseball” is two guys deep.

Ray could not find the zone today, and Braves batters took advantage. He also allowed a HR.
