Holes won't be that big if it is Mills and Diaw going

BREAKING: The Golden State Warriors have agreed to trade Andrew Bogut to the Dallas Mavericks!
Bogut will be joining his teammate Harrison Barnes in Dallas, assuming he still signs with them!
http://sports.yahoo.com/news/how-gol...183109798.htmlThe Golden State Warriors, currently with no cap space, need to create room to sign Kevin Durant, who agreed to join the franchise Monday.
Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green are likely untouchable, but the Warriors do have decisions to make on the value of cap space vs. their own free agents. Key rotational player Andre Iguodala appears to be a part of the plan going forward, but the Warriors are workng on a deal to move center Andrew Bogut.
Here are the moves the Warriors need to make to fit Durant:
1. Trade Bogut’s contract to the Dallas Mavericks.
2. Renounce the unrestricted free-agent holds of Marreese Speights, Leandro Barbosa, Ian Clark, James McAdoo, Brandon Rush and Anderson Varejao.
3. Withdraw the qualifying offers and renounce the cap holds of Harrison Barnes and Festus Ezeli.
The moves would leave Golden State with $26.6 million in cap space to sign Durant to a max contract.
However, doing so would only leave the Warriors with the minimum and room mid-level ($2.9 million) to fill out their roster.
Easily.
If Tim is gone, then Boris, then West, there will be huge holes!
Like I said in my post on Pau coming here and what I thought he would make, that leaves maybe 3/4M in cap space + Room Exception to fill holes.
Need to replace West/Boris/Boban bring back Manu and what about Bertans? All SA will have is 3/4M in cap space + room excetion (outside of min contracts and trades to improve).
What? 85% of what people "call" him on is lack of reading comprehension on what he said. He's a very knowledgeable poster. He may see things through a different lense a lot of the time, but this is way off base.
Personally I think mills and Diaw are gone. Makes sense considering all the pfs and shooting pg's we've been looking at. This would give us the needed space import youth and develop them for next year when we'll be looking to max out a player and will need players cheap contacts.
So let me get this straight... Diaw and Boban are gone to create room for Pau?
Point guards? We don't need no steenking point guards!
DIaw might be, but Mills in on a dirt cheap deal.
Undersized shooting guards! We don't need no stinking....
Who will seriously sign for minimum in this market?? How many roster spots do they need to fill??
What ing rock did you crawl out from under? Crawl back there.
lol if Spurs do something re ed and trade Green
LOL... yeah, well, there's that.

If Duncan indeed retires, San Antonio may waive and stretch legendary No. 21, reducing TD's cap hit to $2.1 mil over the next three season

It remains to be seen, who San Antonio sheds in trade -- or what happens with Tim Duncan -- to create the needed cap space to sign Pau Gasol
btw has anyone heard anything on Kmart and West?
I wouldn't say that. I just didn't think Pau was taking 9mil when his value is so much higher in this league. So if the Spurs were going to get him it would be near my prediction.
I kind of hate this deal, to be honest. The team couldn't afford to lose more rotation players, and they are definitely losing one to make this happen. They have about $16 Million assuming Tim retired and took nothing, and they have about $13.5 Million if they just stretch him. That's enough to give Pau something that approaches his reported contract, but it leaves no Boban, and it makes the room exception an either/or thing with Manu and Bertans. Hope that one takes the min, of course. Still, the backup center spot is really weak with no money to fix it unless the team loses further rotation players, who in turn will have to be replaced and so on.
Haven't had a point guard for some time now.
Does anyone think SA does a S&T with CHI to keep the MLE/stay over the cap? I really hope so, just don't know for who.
Honestly KA can bring what Diaw did from that spot. They will get creative to bring players in. Diaw and Mills aren't the end of the world.
Still, I think it's better to have Gasol as a starting C rather than Boban.
This season will be ed up anyway.
so gsw needs to dump 7-8 players?
