WarriorsIn context
LoweThe curls are gone. and it just I think he looks a little tougher I think it's working for him I like pods I think he's like a solid fourth to fifth starter or depending on team context six man kind of guy I mean 14 five and four on decent shooting last year he's a solid defender he takes a million charges he's not a great defender but he's pretty good I think that's a good player I he hasn't he He
Lowehasn't been helped by Joe Lacob's comments about him, and he hasn't helped himself with some of his comments about himself. And that has contributed, I think, to outsized expectations among fans. I think he's a good player.
LoweYou mentioned he's extension eligible. I'd be curious what you're hearing about that. I have noted before that his cap hold is $17 million.
LoweThe Warriors are clearly a team that wants to be in a position at least to potentially use cap space next summer for one last run or one more run at a big time addition or two next to Steph. And so I've said I would bet on an extension with Pajemski happening, but right around that cap hold number so that it doesn't really hurt their space at all.
LoweBut I honestly like I we're getting towards the deadline. It hasn't happened yet. What are you hearing?
LoweIt
