CHAPTERS/TIMESTAMPS:
0:30 new channel I've been working on, called @nba_upclose    / @nba_upclose  
1:00 why this video took so long to do
1:45 or maybe it was 8 teams that were left in the playoffs, oops -- help me try to get to 100 subscribers there, thanks!    / @nba_upclose  
2:15 our playlist for our livestreams:    • 🔴🏀🎙 YouTube Lives + Analysis & Reacti...  
3:00 the livestream where I first introduced this idea of the NTMLE:    • Warriors fans watch party: Wolves-Nug...  
3:45 article where I suggested Klay get paid what Draymond gets paid for fairness: https://www.letsgowarriors.com/p/just...
4:00 on Donte DiVincenzo as our last example of an actual non-veterans-minimum free agency (but only at the taxpayer mid-level exception aka "TPMLE")
5:15 on the second apron being heavily punitive
5:45 assumptions made for getting under the luxury tax line: 1) Klay gets paid no more than what Draymond gets paid, 2) Gary Payton II "re-does" his contract to get around $3-5M per year instead of $9M in 2024-25, see    • GARY PAYTON II: “redo my whole deal…s...   and 3) get off of Looney's contract worst-case scenario is to waive him and take a cap hit of his guaranteed $3M (out of $8M)
9:30 on the idea of paying Klay a $100M contract (over 4 years, let's say) in order to justify giving him a $22M contract (only, for the purposes of getting under the salary cap and increasing the amount we can give to a NTMLE free agent) -- note: the taxpayer mid-level exception ("TPMLE") is estimated to be $5.1M for 2024-25
12:00 Tim Kawakami's podcast with Joe Lacob where Joe said they might try to get under the salary cap in order to avoid the repeater tax penalties: https://x.com/timkawakami/status/1757...
13:00 on why all the salaries are going to Steph, Klay, Draymond and Wiggins (and Chris Paul, which was Jordan Poole's slot, but CP3 we are assuming here will get waived to get off his $30M contract)
13:45 on my two most attractive $10-13M free agents being Kyle "Slow-Mo" Anderson or Derrick Jones, Jr.
15:00 will DJJ want a salary that's above or at Tim Hardaway Jr's $16M level?
16:00 Gary Payton II's player option date is 6/19/2024
16:58 I meant to say "or more" (than $3M-ish, i.e., half of $9M is $4.5M which is NOT "less" than $3M -- oops)
17:30 on what it means to get off of Looney's full $8M contract by waiving him (and taking a cap hit of $3M) and his guarantee date of "7 days before moratorium"
18:30 CP3's guarantee date is 6/28 which is THE DAY AFTER the 2nd day of the NBA Draft (my bad)
19:00 on Kawakami's idea that the Warriors could push out the guarantee dates of GP2, Loon, and/or CP3 -- and how it might be a domino effect with whether or not Klay's situation is murky
19:30 on our reaction to Klay unfollowing the Warriors: https://youtube.com/live/J2DVOcjwdgQ?...
20:00 Kawakami, Anthony Slater and Marcus Thompson's podcast on Klay and other roster moves: https://x.com/anthonyvslater/status/1...
20:30 on Wiggins and making sure anyone who suggests a trade understands that "why would the other team want Wiggs?" is a huge part of that
21:15 on Kuminga being untouchable, like shares in a startup that's about to go IPO
24:15 why I like Kyle Anderson: same reasons Draymond likes him https://x.com/nbaontnt/status/1794933...
25:00 why I like DJJ and Dunleavy saying the Warriors need to get length, defense and shooting:    • DUNLEAVY: championship “realm of reas...
