Not bad for his first NBA start...and against one of the toughest guys in the league.

McCaw has largely gone silent in recent months.

He hasn’t posted on Instagram since July 4, and he hasn’t tweeted since July 26. Warriors center Jordan Bell, who called McCaw a good friend, hasn’t seen McCaw since running into him at an Oakland gym this summer. The only time Warriors center Damian Jones heard from him recently was two weeks ago, when he texted McCaw about the video game “Fortnite.”

Tuesday night, around the time the Warriors were trying on their new championship rings, raising a banner to the Oracle Arena rafters and beating Oklahoma City in their season opener, McCaw was working out at a high school in his native St. Louis.

EDIT: I'm not sure why the link won't work, but this is from a BR article on Draymond's contract negotiations.

Golden State Warriors power forward Draymond Green said he'll be "very active" in upcoming talks with the Dubs about a contract extension.

On Thursday, Anthony Slater of The Athletic provided comments from Green, whose current deal runs through the 2019-20 NBA season, making him a potential unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2020.

"Sometimes, you get guys who leave it up to somebody else, leave it up to an agent and then blame the agent when it doesn't go how they like," he said. "First off, you need to understand the business. You need to understand whatever it is you need to know."


The three-time All-Star selection explained players often don't analyze the entire situation when it comes to contract talks. For example, the 2016-17 NBA Defensive Player of the Year said he took less money in his last deal to leave room for Kevin Durant to arrive, per Slater.

"Nah, I knew everything that was going on—I knew how much money we had, I knew our books, I knew what we'd have next year, I knew what the cap would be, I knew what was the most I could take, I knew what the max was," Green said. "I knew everything. Then I made my decision. That's how it should be."

The 28-year-old Michigan State product understands the Warriors have some key decisions on the horizon with Durant and Klay Thompson possibly becoming free agents in 2019, followed by the end of his contract in 2020.

Green told Slater he wants to remain with Golden State despite the uncertainty, though.

"I want to be here a long time," he said. "I want to spend my career here. I am committed to being here."

Surprised McKinnie is getting more run than Evans.

Yeah, I'd think that Kerr would be playing Evans now before things start to heat up, but maybe he feels that McKinnie is closer to being ready. Interesting though.

On a different note, I'm happy with how well Jerebko is playing. If he can keep up that kind of effort, I'd like to have him back as a semi-perm bench player like AI & Livingston.

Also; on the topic of McKinnie who is getting minutes, already.....what the hell was Pat thinking? Any recent updates on his situation?

No updates, dude still tripping.

How come Kerr won’t give JB any minutes?

Jones and Loon are playing very well on offense and defense. And both paid their dues.

Also, the teams that we've played have traditional bigs, JB is a little undersized for them (IMO)...
