    Don't all teams have videos for every NBA game for each long season?

    Because you were both wrong, it's obvious that Bogut was not a core player.

    Eh, maybe. He can still play and would add a little toughness.

    Would still prefer Chandler, Lopez or Monroe.

    I doubt the Warriors are concerned about Bogut's knowledge of their plays. Bogut could be a good pick-up, but I don't think him playing for the Warriors will mean anything for the Rockets.

    I don't like Bogut's personally, but he's clearly a savvy vet and he helped GSW a lot in their first championship. His uncalled moving screens were one of the reasons Curry and Klay had so many open looks. Dude is just pesky and just knows where to be.

    Nene is inconsistent and injury prone. As an insurance policy, I'm all for it.

    U might just have to sign him to keep him away from joining the Warriors.

    We really could use Bogut. Hoping we can trade Anderson and Black to diversify the front court and then go the step further and bring on Bogut.

    Okay . . . this is the move we need to make. It has Bill Belichick all over it.

    If he played for us then the refs will be calling all those moving screens

    I wish I could edit my posts! I changed my mind. It could go either way. Sometimes Belichick wins some and loses some. Bogut hasn't done much for quite a few years.

    He wouldn't be a bad contingency plan behind Monroe and Lopez.

    Bogut is just 33. David West is far older and REALLY good. Duncan was like 35 - 38 and should have snagged some DPOY's.

    Great defensive bigs don't tend to lose that ability. Garnett was STILL a good NBA defender in 2016. Better than the spry KAT that year.

    Bogut is at prime-level in terms of rebounding and blocking shots. Same TRB% and BLK%. He did 69 TS% with no elite creators like in Houston.

    He played in LA's terribly dysfunctional offense and I can't stress that enough. Even still, he got around 3 assists per 36.

    Bogut still has something left in the tank, and I think he is still a really good rim protector. He did a foul out per 36 in LA but he was doing that in GS as well. As late as 2016.

    You get Bogut and I don't feel so bad about playing teams like SA and Minnesota at all. Hell, he could have serious impact in a series against OKC due to their reliance of rim pressure through WB and Adams.

    I hope we pick him up.

    Sign both. Send Anderson and Capela and 1st round pick to the Cavs for Lebron.

    Paul/Gordon
    Harden/Green
    Ariza/Luc B
    Lebron/Tucker
    Chandler/Bogut
