You would think this means that Golden State either has a S&T in place with LA or they were informed they missed out on him.

Still doesn't tell us anything, lol.

This move definitely allows a S&T of Bogut + Barnes to be a realistic option if LA was informed they missed out on Dwight.

Honestly, I expect the Lakers to get Andrew Bogut, Harrison Barnes/Klay Thompson, and 2 first round picks for Dwight Howard. If they pull off that trade, Golden State will be deadly.

Golden State drops out of the Dwight Howard chase, clearing the way for long-standing frontrunner Houston to close with the free agent star.

So far, no teams pursuing Dwight Howard have been informed that he's made a decision.

That is one heck of a starting 5.

Curry & Klay do what they do.

Iggy can handle the ball & give Steph some breathers by allowing him to play off the ball, where he is amazing.

Lee & Dwight compliment each other extremely well.

If that happens, the West better watch out.

I don't understand. What did Utah trade, and WHY DID UTAH AGREE TO THAT?

Warriors are probably my favorite team out west.. Really respect their fans & organization and Curry is one of my favorite players. Really fun to watch in general. Not to mention the Bay Area is my favorite place in the US


But if Dwight signs there... :mad:

The more I think about it, the more this makes sense...Golden State got Dwight.

Why would they make waves to sign Iggy and why would Iggy sign there if they were still going to have Barnes. Both of those guys are going to need big minutes. Acquiring Iggy gives you what Barnes could very well end up being several years down the road. Iggy is battle tested and can contribute to a win now team.

They will send Barnes to LA, along with Bogut for Dwight in a S&T.

Argggggg. That team would be so nasty. I like all of those other 4 player and hate Dwight. He doesn't deserve to be on that team. Look how well Warriors did with JUST Curry, Klay, Barnes and a bange up Lee/Bogut. Now you replace Bogut with Dwight, Barnes with Iggy? Geez.

There are going to be picks involved. I could have seen them just taking on Bogut's contract...he actually has value as a player. They took two worthless contracts. Golden State had to have sent their 2014 pick with some protection attached...if not an additional future pick.

PG Curry
SG Thompson
SF Iguodala
PF Lee
C Howard

Yikes. That is a well rounded team that will do some serious damage.

People are saying that Golden State still has not cleared enough room to sign Iggy...likely more moves to come.

I'm the exact same way. I'm hoping D12 doesn't go there just so I can continue to enjoy watching them play. Such a fun team of young players.

Woj saying that the Warriors are dropping out of the Dwight sweepstakes. Even though they can offer Bogut and Banes. I'm not sure what to think of that.

That sounds like it is just his opinion. I don't see why the would just drop out now when they are in a better spot to trade for him than they were before.

Some source said a couple hours ago that Golden State had been informed they weren't in the mix for Dwight.

If GS doesn't trade Barnes, then adding Iggy just makes me smh.
