    Can someone clear this up for me: How will trading Bogut, Jefferson, and Bierdins clear up cap space? Don't they have to take back contracts to match figures per trade rules?

    I would be totally off on this.

    I think he's missing that 80% of the teams that could take them have already agreed to contracts....

    i guess GS is trying to ship out those 3 expirings to the jazz or atleast bogut since he has college ties there.

    The reason why this is taking so long, is because Dwight wants the Warriors to clear cap space. If he was coming to the Rockets this would be done by now.

    Heisler reported Bledsoe for Afflalo as a done deal on draft week. Tap the breaks.

    The usual going rate to buy a late first rounder is $3 million or so. Now teams are willing to pay $11 million or more. Puh-lease.

    This is a Hail Mary from Golden State to try and get the Lakers to the table.

    Just added to ESPN's latest Dwight story: Sources say Warriors and Jazz have opened talks on trade that would send Andrew Bogut to Jazz

    So a late round 1st pick is going to cost 9 to 11 million dollars because Biedrins and RJ are worthless as players. I don't see any GM wasting money like that much less 2 GMs doing that. I think it would cost them a true asset before anyone takes on either of them.

    I get that Dwight is good, but if I am the Warriors GM, I just keep the team I have. If AB's contract comes off the books next season, just keep what you almost made the WCF with and sign a big name next season?

    I don't think they can do it...... Or somebody is going to take BARNES for one crappy contract and the other is taking 2fisrt rd picks for the other one

    How do they grow?

    curry and klay< harden and parsons( and we can still get another 3rd star with trades)

    So the Jazz are going to GIVE UP picks and cash to take on Bogut? Seems questionable.
