Just Dubs

JD & Silver react to a rough Saturday for Dub Nation. After Paul George declined his $48.7M option and entered free agency, it essentially ended all possibilities of George ending up in the Bay Area. Shortly after, The Athletic's Shams Charania and Anthony Slater reported that the Warriors are preparing to part ways with Klay Thompson, who will enter free agency and pursue offers from teams like the Dallas Mavericks, Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, and possibly others. Hear the guys' initial thoughts on an impromptu "Just Dubs" for The Sports Leader.

JD & Silver are back LIVE on YouTube, Twitch, and X for night 1 of the NBA Draft.

Later on, the show moves into news from the draft, Klay Thompson's stalled contract negotiations, and reacting to sound from Mike Dunleavy Jr.'s press conference.

JD & Silver (masters of the show off the air) react to some NBA news and reports and discuss what they might mean for Klay Thompson's free agency market. Does Malik Monk intending to re-sign with the Kings indicate that Klay's market is higher or lower elsewhere? How do various factors within the Warriors organization, including Gary Payton II opting into his $9.1 million player option, impact the Warriors plans for roster construction next season? If Klay Thompson were to stay with Golden State, what role would the Dubs have for him? We break it all down on The Sports Leader.

JD (fatigued by Draymond in the media) & Silver (calls the Celtics great but generationally dysfunctional) recap a busy night in which the Celtics took a 3-0 lead over the Mavericks and are one win away from an NBA title. Pivoting to the Warriors side of things, they dive deeper into Klay Thompson's emotions amid contract negotiations and some future possibilities for Kevon Looney. Last but not least, they remember the great life of Jerry West, who passed away yesterday at the age of 86.

JD & Silver revisit reports of possible trade negotiations between the Warriors and Cavaliers this offseason and how there could be a path toward a move without it being the move of the summer. They also remember the great Bill Walton, who passed away Monday morning, and his ties to not only the Warriors organization but sports, music, and American culture. The final third of the episode goes into what documentary cameras in the building could mean for next season, and one big possibility to look out for with the WNBA's Golden State Valkyries in 2025.
