Haliburton on His Return, Preseason Thoughts, and Most Intriguing Players!

FriedellDunleavy and Kerr really like him.

FriedellYou figure that the number is somewhere in there. It always felt like it would be somewhere around 20 to me, maybe a little more depending on the market.

FriedellBut he seems comfortable out here.

FriedellAnd Kerr really seems to trust him. And that trust is only going to grow. So I'd be surprised if you and I are talking a couple weeks from now and it's not done.

FriedellThe real question to me, though, is if you're the Warriors and you're paying pods and you've paid Steph and now you have Yaxle, again, this ties back into what happens after that.

Friedelland that's what nobody seems to have a clear -cut answer on and they're kind of waiting to see how this plays out for context jimmy is still months away he was in hawaii but you know he's not able to do all that much although he kept reinforcing i can dunk if i need to okay great but he's 37 years old coming off a major major knee injury and he keeps saying he wants to stay with the Warriors, but in

Friedellorder to do so, he's not going to be anywhere near another max extension. Draymond is a 27 million this year. He's not going to be anywhere near that if he ends up wanting to stay. So there are a lot of major question marks in the future, but if you get the pods deal done and you still like the way Yaxl looks a few months from now, those are the two core pieces with Steph.
