Wow, Golden State just raped the NBA.
On second thought.
Just looked at Utah's payroll. They're about 20M below the floor. If they want to tank for Wiggins, taking on RJ and Biedrins with a couple of draft picks might actually make sense.
Strong assessment I'd say.
Suck for Luck indeed.
Bet Houston Feels Stupid Right Abt Now!

It's possible that this trade removes Utah ability to keep Millsap which would be huge for Spurs.
Pretty sweet maneuvering by the Warriors.
So, GSW has Iggy, Barnes, Draymond Green and Klay. Who plays where?
Got damn. Great job GS.
We may not know yet if they still have Barnes, Green & Klay. One would think Utah would want at least one of those guys to take all that dead weight off the Warriors hands for them.
There's a bit of a jam at the 2/3, so if this is true, then who else could they sign or trade for besides Dwight?
I understand that Dwight is still a possibility, but if that doesn't go through then they're overloaded at the swingman spot.
Jerry West.
When he left the Lakers in 2002, they were 3 time defending champs with a prime Kobe, a prime Shaq, and PJ on the bench. They should have won more les with them, but the new management has been terrible ever since. The two les they've won since then were only because West did one last favor for LA and gift-wrapped Gasol.
The Warriors love small ball. A lineup of Curry, Klay, Barnes, Iggy + X would work really well.
Damn the Warriors are looking stacked at the guard/wing positions. I'd keep Curry, Thompson, and Iggy. Move one of Green or Barnes...
Biedrins, Jefferson, Rush all sent to Utah.
RJ's untradeable contract has now been traded twice.
With Iggy on board they can definitely trade Barnes...
Dwight for Thompson or Barnes + Bogut seems like the likely outcome.
If Houston gets Dwight, there needs to be a landing spot for Asik. Lakers may be open to taking on Bogut instead of him in order to free up cap space for next summer though, but that would probably come after the initial Houston S&T. Still doesn't solve the issue of one too many perimeter guys.
Not a bad problem to have though if you're GS.
