    This is not exactly what he said on twitter:
    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Also know Rockets, w/Lin &amp; Asik to pitch Lakers &amp; potential third-team facilitators, will offer various scenarios for S-and-T consideration</p>&mdash; Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) <a href="https://twitter.com/ESPNSteinLine/statuses/353021694442618880">July 5, 2013</a></blockquote>

    Steins rumor of the morey finally finding a 3rd team is no coincidence either.

    He isn't going to say they have it already, but I think he says there are teams more then willing.

    Orlando alone has a trade exception that could cover the cost of Bierdrins and Jefferson. And your making an assumption that the pick is late 1st round.

    Look at it from Orlando's point of view....what do they have to lose in this scenario?

    Easy, $20MM that you have to pay those players. Why the hell would you want to do that.

    breaking news

    breaking news, Charles Jones has agreed to mentor and work with Dwight if he signs with the Houston Rockets giving McHale and The Dream the much needed help to teach the Center position.

    Warriors make no sense to me.

    No cap room? ✓
    Less money plus millionaires tax? ✓
    Depleting the roster as a whole? ✓

    Am I missing something here?

    They all can't go to the same place. They'd be split. Jefferson would go to one team, Biedrens to another, and Bogut to another. So are their any teams that can afford those salaries? I don't see anyone going after Jefferson or Biedrens, but I could see Dallas taking a flyer on Bogut and eventually constructing a deal.
