It appears like Lacob wants Myers to if not run be heavily involved in the NBA Draft, which is basically 3 weeks away and 8 days before his contract expires.

Is there that much to do? They have the 19th selection and they're not allowed to trade it because they owe their 2024 selection to Memphis. They don't have a second round pick. Just take the little Donte DiVincenzo clone from Santa Clara and call it a day... ;)

Podziemski To Remain In 2023 NBA Draft)

Called it...

Actually, it's not fair to call him a DD clone. He's 6'5", 204 lbs. A very good shooter, probably a better shooter than DiVincenzo and a very strong rebounder (8.8 rpg), but DD has the advantage everywhere else, particularly on defense. Podziemski is not as athletic as DiVincenzo.

And I co-signed, so have no comment on that pick :)

I do like the Trayce Jackson-Davis move, even though I liked PBJ too. TJD is an interior player who can block shots. Maybe a more skilled Robert Williams. Certainly made the guys on Larry Krueger's YouTube channel happy last night.

One question reporters need to ask Dunleavy now is this. The Suns, Lakers, Warriors, and Clippers are not going to be able to sign anyone this year as a FA beyond league minimum. What is the Warriors pitch going to be to beat out other teams also competing for league minimum free agents?

It will be interesting to see if more veterans are willing to take less to play for contenders because the new rules make it prohibitive for contending capped teams to be paying more than league minimum for veterans. There simply won't be that many contending teams willing to pay mid-level contracts. Many players will have to make hard choices between winning and ring chasing and getting paid.
