    For real. Jefferson gets a little over 11 million and Biedrins gets 9 million. How many picks would it take for 2 separate teams to take those guys on without sending anything back?

    I wonder if GS didn't leak this info to buy them selves some more time and hold off D12 from making his announcement so soon while they continue to make a miracle.

    Getting worried about Golden State

    I don't know about y'all but GS is suddenly making me very nervous! I don't know what kind of black magic Mark Jackson must have a helluva way with words...if he really has got Dwight convinced on GS then all our efforts will be for nothing especially if Dwight forces a sign and trade






    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Source close to <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23Warriors&amp;src=hash">#Warriors</a> says they would trade Barnes (+No. 1, Bogut) for <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23D12&amp;src=hash">#D12</a>… Likeliest scenario: <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23Lakers&amp;src=hash">#Lakers</a> asked for Curry, or Barnes+Klay</p>&mdash; Mark Heisler (@MarkHeisler) <a href="https://twitter.com/MarkHeisler/statuses/352973988470849537">July 5, 2013</a></blockquote>

    My guess: GSW source "leaked" this info, whether true or not, to scare the Lakers into a S&T.

    If GSW does have such teams lined up, chances are the price they want is unacceptably high right now-- maybe so high that Dwight wouldn't want to go to the Warriors after what they have to give up, and almost certainly higher than what they hope the Lakers would agree to. If they had desirable low-cost way of dumping these salaries and still have a team that Dwight would prefer over all else, they probably should just do it quickly and get Dwight instead of telling this to Vecsey.

    You can always get people to take contracts. The question is what you have to pay them.

    per hoops world, orlando has close to 20 million in trade exceptions

    http://www.hoopsworld.com/orlando-magic-team-salary


    bogut, thompson, draft picks for that 20 M trade exception. then GS signs d12 outright. probably some other moves as well

    I meant a pick outright for wasting the time hearing the offer. As in Portland gets a pick with no trade happening. Seemed clear to me.
