Let's look at the Golden State trade if they do not get Dwight: Lose Biendris, Jefferson and Rush (although saving money). Lose 2 1st round picks and multiple 2nd round picks. Unable to resign Jarrett Jack. Pay Iguodola $12 million a year. Iguodola takes away playing time from Barnes and Thompson. When Barnes/Thompson's rookie contracts end, they're still paying Iguodola and might have to make choices (i.e. OKC trading Harden). I think this is just a terrible deal for G.S. if Dwight is not coming over.
Wait... earlier it was a lock according to MJ now he's saying that he "still" thinks 80/20? One thing I won't miss is all the "insiders" who are "sure" and then use the "information changes quickly" to keep spinning their take.

It says before the trades he narrowed it down, it's possible the warriors are back in after the trade. Also on ESPN, on their list on the left side of the screen it says "Dwight's Decision". I don't know if that means he will decide or that they will just talk about about who he will decide. Probably the latter
