Marcus Thompson (@ThompsonScribe) on his takeaway from the Mike Dunleavy Jr. press conference: "It sounded like we're about 6 months away from the plug being pulled on this era. Essentially the trade deadline is February 11th and the new talking point is 'Hey, we got expiring contracts, $100 million.' Those are only valuable up until February 11th, so you got 6 months. It's 6 months and really less when the season starts on October 21st, so you're really looking at 4 months to prove this team is worth keeping together. If not, you cash in them chips. It's probably 6 months left for the Draymond Green era. He's on a 1 year deal, $27.8 million, and doesn't have a no-trade clause, so that's a very tradable contract. It felt like this has been coming for a while, but this, the way Dunleavy was talking, and the way they positioned it, this feels like 'Alright, let's see where we are in February because if we're not where we need to be, then we're just going to start selling pieces off and starting over.' That's what it felt like to me. I don't know how you felt about it, but the talk about $100 million, the talk about still waiting to make a move, these are chips that have to be used by February 11th. There's no more Kuminga chip. There's no more young talent to trade. The last chips are these expiring contracts. That is Jimmy Butler. That is Draymond Green. That is Kristaps Porzingis. It's these big pieces that they can essentially cash in and if they cash in 1, they might as well cash in all of them because I don't know what 1 is giving you to make you keep the other 2."
