WarriorsIn context
FriedellZach, you and I have been doing this way too long.
FriedellWhen you see both player and team say, hey, we want to get this done, way more often than not, especially before these deadlines, it usually happens. Pods likes being out here.
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.
