GS is OUT of the Howard sweepstakes

That may be a ploy. If they want to bump Barnes/Klay/Bogut to Lakers for S&T they could

I like the Iggy signing by GSW.

Pretty sure there are chartered flights from Houston to/from Aspen every day. And even more so over a holiday weekend.

Woj saying they aren't out yet. But it sounds like it'd have to be a S&T

If you're GSW how do you not offer Barnes/Bogut or even Klay/Bogut for dwight

That would remove a lot of the allure for Howard: having those shooters around him.

So are reporting that Iggy, Curry, and Dwight will form a big 3 in Golden State potentially. If you're the Lakers, why wouldn't you sign and trade getting Barnes and Thompson in return for Dwight at this point?

Now that GS has Iggy that could afford to cut ties with Barnes and Thompson. As someone else said a Bogut, Thompson and Barnes deal for Howard is not out of the realm of possibility. That would give GS a great starting line-up with Howard, Lee, Iggy and Curry. Then you have Jack off the bench. All of a sudden they might be the front runners to win the west. Man, I hope Howard just goes to Houston.

Pascals,

You do the deal to get Bogut's expiring contract and next summer you sign LBJ (or at least attempt to sign him).

Howard has to choose GSW. If he does....GSW will enter talks with Lakers.


No chance dwight announces anything today now

As a follow-up, you don't have to do that deal to get the monies for LBJ, but if you did it, at least you have a very good three point shooter in Thompson to pair up with LBJ. If you let Howard walk, you have the money to get LBJ, but nothing around him except old players.

LBJ isn't stupid enough to join the lakers

If the Lakers got Lebron, they certainly wouldn't have any trouble finding other pieces around him.

It's all up to Howard at this point.

Morey has to be on the phone with Atlanta as we speak doing an S&T for Smith with Lin/Asik.

GS is sending multiple picks to Utah. So their roster will be locked in pretty much. There's a lot riding on Steph Curry's ankles.

Something tells me the Lakers won't help the Warriors become the best team in Cali by facilitating a Dwight Howard move

Who would GS have left if it traded Thompson, Barnes, and Bogut? Jack is a FA. Could they afford him after triggering the sign and trade restrictions?

To add onto that, if Steph is hurt, GS would have no shooters that I can think of.

If I'm Golden State I quit my Dwight pursuit. I've been away from the computer most of the day and don't know all the details, but if you've got Iggy, David Lee, Stephen Curry, Harrison Barnes and Klay Thompson you have a nice, fairly organically built nucleus. I wouldn't bring in a guy with known attitude issues to risk screwing it up. I know Dwight is great, but I don't think he is worth Klay AND Barnes.

I'd have to agree. If LAL wants you to part with both Klay and Barnes, you cheerfully send D12 on his way to Houston.

Throw in Iggy. It's a dangerous lineup that can defend and score.

Warriors renounce rights to Jarrett Jack and Carl Landry to sign Iggy.
