i think the Barnes move might pan out. high upside, young guy. But... bogut doesn't make a lot of sense. They shoud've just let Dirk walk and tanked.
He was against Seattle moving to OKC because it took away that fanbase. Looks like he's getting revenge in a weird way.
Bogut was a great fit for 15 min/gm at GS but makes no sense for Dalls, TBH. Agree with those saying Cuban should start rebuild. There's no tread left on Deron, Dirk or Bogut. It's like the all-walker team. And I wonder what he's *trading* to GS to help make their mega-team work? Sigh.
Ryan Anderson at 20M is 4x better than Barnes at the max gimme a break. Dude couldn't do anything when everyone else was focusing on everyone else.

Point and laugh
Not like GS needs to keep him but I could see an under the table agreement being they don't match on the Barnes deal if Cubes decides he wants to lessen that contract a bit.
I actually predict terrible thing for Barnes. Seems like a good guy and I don't wish him ill, but he was like the 3rd or sometimes 4th wheel on a record-setting offensive unit; now he's about to get exposed, being basically the only guy under the age of 50 on the Mavs roster. He'll have the opposition's best wing defender every night, instead of the team's worst wing defender every night.
Calvin Watkins ESPN Staff Writer Rockets made a late push to trade for Warriors center Andrew Bogut according to a source. Currently Clint Capela is the starting center but that could change. There is only so much the Warriors could take back in terms of salary from the Rockets to make the deal work according to another source.
What would have happened if all the owners refused to help GSW move Bogut's salary, could they actually block the Durant signing? They are probably all saying, "Thanks, Cuban"
Seeing how the Rockets wanted to help out also, I'm sure there were other teams that wouldn't mind helping out
