12 a year is a great price for him. Good deal for both sides. The going rate for really-good-not-quite-franchise guys is 12. That's iggy, smith, Jefferson types. Exact right price for him.
GS could still move Bogut and Lee to to sign Dwight, no? If Dwight wants to go to GS, they still very well could pull this off.

The Warriors seem to be making a hard push for DH.... http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nba/2013/07/05/dwight-howard-nba-free-agency/2492629/
Okay so they dump Biedrins+RJ to sign Iggy Now they can offer Bogut+(Klay or Barnes) in an S+T for Dwight. I'm kinda scared tbh.
Well regardless of what the Lakers and Warriors want, for even if the agree on a trade, they'd require Dwight Howard, who is an unrestricted free agent to comply. This is all a just in case scenario the Warriors are trying to do. I think that the Warriors need to entice the Lakers on a trade, which would make it worth their while, in case Dwight Howard tells them that he'd like to join them. And the Warriors are trying to have a package the Lakers would find appealing. But as has been reported, Dwight is keeping his decision close to his chest.
Why did Utah do this deal?? GSW has wanted to get rid of Jefferson and Biedrins' contracts for a long time. Their value as players are very low... Why would Utah be willing to pay $20 million plus to help the Warriors? For Brandon Rush? You gotta be kidding me. Even if they were to get multiple draft picks, they have to know that with a core of Bogut-Lee-Barnes/Iguodala-Thompson-Curry, any picks they get are not going to be high... This is a real headscratcher from Utah's side. And yes... GS is a very REAL threat to the Rockets now. This definitely paves the road for a Barnes + Bogut sign and trade. If Dwight decides he wants to play with Curry over Harden... It's all over.
