Overthinking this people He is taking 3 days over July 4th to make a life changing decision - That is NOT a long time to sleep on it for a few days - Chill !!! GS is just doing what any team in their positon would and should do - getting their ducks in a row - IF he chooses them . . .
It's entirely plausible that these moves are only contingent on Dwight picking them. Like a draft day deal.

You never know. It's NBA. Strange things happen. You would think at this stage of the game and GWs are trying this hard gutting the team, they know what they are doing and what they are getting.
I truly believe if Dwight doesn't make his decision today, he's going to the Warriors... That being said: MAKE YOUR DECISION TODAYYY DWIGHT!!!!!!
If GSW clears Rush, Bogut, Biedrens, and Jefferson, do they still have to do a sign and trade with Thompson or Barnes?
Another thing to consider: being an expiring contract for teams wanting to trade with GSW has ZERO advantage. Expiring contracts are only valuable for teams who are trying to unload their own longer term contracts which is not the case right now. If the Jazz want cap space for 2014, they'll have it with or without Bogut.
Yep. I said the same thing awhile back. One piece of news and half the people are all woe is me. One slightly good piece of news and everyone's hyped up again. It's like people don't use any rationale and just fly off the rails after every single tweet.
This gs bidnez sounds like a team leaking info to send the message "hey Dwight, if you're listening, don't make a decision yet! There is a way without a S&T"
What are the Jazz doing? Let the young bigs take the reigns already, sheesh. Dennis Lindsey is better than this.

I'd be fine with that actually. Problem is though I don't think we get those solid vets chasing a ring on the cheap.
