He meant right now. You mean July 1st. That's the disconnect.

Hinkie would let him fall through waivers then offer a 4 year deal. (Then later claim he was supposed to be the veteran pg of the team.)

Oh my bad then. I knew they had some. I didn't know they had quite enough to take on Meeks.

Wow. If that's true, they're tanking hard and letting their rooks run things moving forward.

More Tyson Chandler smoke? Because I don't think Aldrich views himself as a 3rd string center any longer.

He shouldn't.

I almost wonder if the Bucks or Thunder might be looking at that Chandler/Tucker package you mentioned :lol:

Lot of really interesting stuff here:

http://www.csnbayarea.com/warriors/sources-warriors-frustration-bogut-could-lead-trade

Bogut’s offensive numbers are not meant to impress; scoring is not his role. But the Warriors have grown weary with his reluctance to engage himself on that end, which is something scouts have noted and opponents have exploited.

If all things were equal and the Warriors were forced to choose between Bogut and Ezeli, two sources expressed belief the team would prefer Ezeli, who was cheaper last season but almost certainly won’t be next season.

Former Warriors coach Mark Jackson occasionally made subtle comments questioning Bogut’s fortitude. Some currently with the organization have moved toward a similar assessment.

I'm personally all for anything that involves the Warriors keeping a more expensive center with far lower BBIQ. But this is surprising.

So ridiculous, Bogut is so much more important to that team than Ezeli and it's not even close. Who cares about him not being "engaged" on the offensive end, it's not why he's there.

Brad Turner ‏@BA_Turner 8m8 minutes ago

Free agent small forward Nicolas Batum mulling over options, including talking with Lakers, source. He's flying from Paris to US tomorrow.

So apparently Ujiri shot down Patterson/Joseph/Powell/9 for Ibaka. Can't blame him.

I'm hearing the Lakers are planning a big push for Horford and Batum. They've gotten the word that Durant isn't interested.

Pistons are also in on both Horford and Batum as well.
