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

LoweI would be, if you told me Jimmy Butler was on the active roster for half their games this year, I think they would, I would sign up for that if I were a Warriors fan, not, not playing half the games, because he's obviously They're not going to play back -to -backs and all that.

LoweBut that would, in my mind, I'm ballparking like January 1 or something like that for Jimmy, which is a lot of the season. It's half the season almost.

LoweYou mentioned the expirings, Jimmy and Draymond.

LowePorzingis has only $3 million guaranteed on a player option next year. I feel like they're going to keep his contract on the books for trade purposes, at least through this season, and then decide. The cap space thing is super interesting because it might impact how they approach this season.

LoweRemember, when Jimmy first came, weren't there like 24 -7 with him? It was like some crazy record, right?

FriedellYeah, I mean, they had Steph from the outside and Jimmy would get to the foul line and provide a completely different look. I mean, they fit from a basketball perspective. No question.

FriedellNeither one of them can stay healthy.
