While The Cavs Are Falling Apart, The Warriors Announced All Their Free Agent Signings

The Cleveland Cavaliers have descended into utter chaos since the bombshell announcement last Friday Kyrie Irving wants to be traded. Rumors and accusations have been flying, and the relationship between the franchise’s two main stars, as well as the organization itself, seems irreparable.

Meanwhile, the team that bested them in Finals last month couldn’t be doing better. They made sure to remind the world of their embarrassment of riches on Tuesday when they officially announced all of their free agency signings for the summer, both on Twitter and via an official release on NBA.com.

Since none of us just fell off the turnip truck, it’s hard to see the timing of this announcement as a coincidence. Not only do the Cavs face losing Irving in the immediate future, but LeBron James can opt out of his current contract next summer and ply his wares elsewhere.

Amid all of that uncertainty, Golden State just casually wants us to remember that Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Andre Iguodala, Shaun Livingston, Zaza Pachulia, and David West are all on board for the foreseeable future. Just when you thought #pettyszn was over, the Warriors went ahead and submitted one of the simplest and subtlest digs of this whole three-and-a-half-year rivalry.
