Well, that would leave us next year with our pick, top ten, Yi, Bogut, Mason, Sessions, our second rounder, Ilyasova. That's seven guys. The FA class is one of the best in a long time (check the list), we could definitely land at least one of those guys. Thats 8 guys right there.

Why not? He said as much basically word for word last week. It was along the lines of, "If we're rebuilding here I want to be apart of that".
Last month, he averaged 16.9 points and 9.2 rebounds in 17 games - well up on his career averages of 11.3 and 8.1. He still has another year remaining on his contract, but extension negotiations will begin at the end of this season.
"That's something I'm going to be adamant about in off-season negotiations. It isn't going to be all about money for me, it's going to be about my role within the team: I want it to be bigger and better,'' Bogut says.
"At the same time, I'd rather be on a winning team than take $70-80million (over five to six years), so I think if we're building for the future, that's definitely something I'd like to be a part of.''
