In context
LoweThere will be no League Pass Rankings, Zach Lowe Show, this year because that is going to be the way that we introduce the newsletter that I announced today, the Lowe Post. We will have the league pass rankings back in written form for the first time in two years, spread over five or six days in the next 10 days or so.
LoweSo subscribe to the low post if you want to read that kind of stuff. That's my plug. Mr. Mahoney, before we get to the five most confusing teams, and by the way, I prepared a list of eight because I have a feeling I'm going to guess we go minimum three for five overlap between us because there are some objectively.
LoweYes. Bat shit, crazy, confusing teams in the league right now. we have some news to get to can you can we spin through some quick news items from the weekend i would love to where do you want to start brandon pajemski five years 110 million dollar extension with the golden state warriors right around his cap hold uh so that it does not really cannibalize their cap space for the summer they of course do not have quite have max cap
Lowespace they have something like 45 million dollars of cap space i just think they continue to be more set up for some kind of lopsided trade than anything else in terms of free agency, given that they have all their picks except for one at their disposal and some cap flexibility. As mentioned, I continue to think that the team is dead on arrival this season and should not go insane trying to trade draft picks, multiple two, three, whatever of them
Lowefor a win now move. But that is neither here nor there pods, weirdly polarizing player, I guess among warriors fans. I'm not really dialed into like the insane warriors fan Twitter.
LoweI think this deal is totally fine. It's 10 to 12 % of the salary cap. That's like not even starter money really. And that's perfect for pods. Who is, I think like a fourth or fifth starter at best and a six or seventh man, maybe more realistically does a little bit. Everything plays hard, high IQ player.
LoweI don't get why there's any upheaval about this other than there's been some unfortunate comments from Joe Laca, Van Brandon, Pajemski himself, kind of anointing him as a superstar in waiting that have wrinkled some people. This is totally fine. I like positive.
