i think it's hilarious how underrated David Lee still is among Warrior fans
he's a very good player but it's gonna hurt when he's 32 years old getting 11 mil per year and still has a couple years on his contract left
I'm not saying I want to trade him but I wouldn't mind trading him
teams will always have players that earn more than their worth. that's just how sports is. in our case, it doesn't hit us as hard considering we'll have guys like Bogut, Jefferson, and Biedrins off the books in 2014, when the FA class is absolutely great. even with Lee's contract, we'd be able to afford a max contract and a couple vets.
You guys definitely have a great opportunity in the next couple of years, while Klay & Barnes are still on rookie contracts. I don't think it's necessary to move Lee, but I also think that you can make better use of $15M, and that his value's as high as it's going to get right now. I think Luol Deng, LaMarcus Aldridge, & Marc Gasol should be the targets over the next couple of years. You're going to need really good defensive players in the front court in order to build around Curry & Thompson. Barnes is a solid defender, and if you can grab Gasol + either Deng or Aldridge, I think you're a potential title team in 2015-16.
