And it shouldn’t.
2 good years of KD on the back end could be their window of opportunity

Agreed, I think that's a safe bet. I wouldn't be surprised if they traded JR Smith to take on salary and get a 1st this year from a team like the Thunder. A Dennis Schroder/Thunder 1s(2 years left) for Jr Smith or Thunder 1st/Patrick Patterson/Andre Roberson(1 year left) for JR Smith deal works salary wise.
Honestly The Pelicans may just keep him
Whatever happens im cool with.
Going into the offseason, all i wanted was shore up the 4 spot and another wing off the bench that can create and score. All these rumors etc is whatever to me.
Team is in good shape regardless the direction we go in even if we sign no big names cause i know marks will make smart signings as always.

I've seen stories where people say Messina "doesn't interview well". That dude has interviewed for every head coaching opening since 2014 and never closes the deal. He was starting to wax poetic about wanting to go home to Europe as well.
I wonder if Ime leaves though if he knows Messina leaves cause that would have made Ime lead assistant...the same job he got with Philly now.
Despite murmurs that Kevin Durant was angling to leave the Golden State Warriors as a free agent this summer, the team reportedly intended to offer the two-time Finals MVP a long-term extension while allowing him to leave the team at any point during the contract, a source told The Athletic's Frank Isola.
Whether that is still the Warriors' plan in the wake of Durant's injury in Game 5 remains to be seen. Team personnel apparently believethe 30-year-old suffered a torn right Achilles tendon, a severe and potentially career-shortening injury that would effectively wipe out Durant's 2019-20 season.
The Warriors' reported offer to Durant would have included "the understanding that if he wanted to leave at any point during his contract the team would grant him that wish," as Isola phrases it, but it's not clear how that would work.
ADVERTISING
The current collective bargaining agreement dictates that NBA contracts can only contain one player-option year, according to Larry c00n's NBA Salary Cap FAQ. Beyond that specific contract structure, Durant could become a free agent by agreeing to have the remainder of his deal bought out by the Warriors for nothing, but there is no CBA framework to enforce a handshake agreement regarding an indefinite, rolling early-termination option.
Durant currently has a player option for the 2019-20 season valued at $31.5 million. If he declines that option, he is eligible to re-sign with the Warriors for up to $219 million over five years, which would secure his services through the 2023-24 campaign - his age-35 season.

I actually think Russell is a much better fit next to them than Harris, actually think Russell fits better with Ben and Embiid because he works mostly in the midrange and three point line. They could just bring back Redikk and sign Bojan Bogdanvic that would be perfect. I wonder if they can do a sign and trade for each player.

KD was my dream scenario but D-Lo + Harris/Randle always made the most sense. Both guys check off all the boxes we need
