Perhaps, but if we lose Landry and Jack through free agency and Barnes via the trade, not sure there would be enough of a team left to contend.
Draymond green can replace landry

Sign and trade is, obviously, the only way we get him.
I wonder how many of us on here would support a Barnes/Bogut for Howard trade.
I wouldn't.
I don't like any deal for Howard that includes either Barnes of Thompson.
I think a bunch of folks (myself included...... I've had a few infrequent posts here, primarily posting on ESPN or RealGM) are going to be coming here from ESPN, which announced today that they're getting rid of their forums as of 7/17. Already a few people over there telling people to come here.
On this subject, the most likely outcome (if Howard ends up with the Warriors) is for Bogut to be routed to a third team, and only Thompson or Barnes getting to LA. The reason is basic - barring LA amnesty-ing Kobe, they're going to be massively in the luxury tax next year, and Bogut's salary will literally cost them an additional 2-3x in luxury tax costs. They'd almost certainly be willing to pay his $14M salary...... but make that a $40-50M salary for next year (when tax is included), and most likely they'd choose not to keep him. Yeah, I know that they have tons of TV money, but is Andrew Bogut worth $50M to anybody? Probably not.
I hope the W's pull this off, because a foursome of Howard, Curry, Lee, and whichever of Barnes or Thompson is left (supplemented by Rush) is awfully darn good, and will compete for a top seed.
+1
Then move Andris, Jefferson and Green to Orlando for Jameer Nelson and Big Baby.
Curry/Nelson
Klay/FA
Rush/FA
Lee/BB
Howard/Festus

Meh. They're worth more at the deadline or as the free agent they become in 2014. Jameer Nelson is a 31-year-old PG that relies on his waning quickness and increasing strength. Both him and Big Baby are defensive liabilities on a team that already has enough of those (even with Howard). Glen's mid-range game and Jameer's passing (when he wants to) are certainly assets off the bench, but defenders other than Rush and Ezeli will be necessary for that squad. Plus, one of Biedrins or RJ will have to be used in any Howard deal because of the money involved. Those two guys certainly provide some mismatches that the Dubs could exploit, but they also provide mind-numbing deficiencies. I never thought I would type this, but I'd rather GSW sign Matt Barnes.
I would hate this as well. One name that I would like to see the Warriors go after would be JJ Hickson. Look at his production the last few years. I think he would be a great fit as a backup 4/5 on the team.
Umm, Sup Dub Nation, I'm a refugee from the E.S.P.N Boards,
Wanted to contribute on this board now I suppose.
OT: At what point can I make new threads?
Lee I hope you'll not over run the forum with OT threads like you did on ESPN. Glad you are here though it's nice to hear what you think even though I rarely agree with you.
I thought my OT: Topics were a nice change of pace from the
- Coach Jackson is Horrible
- Klay is horrible
- We need to trade for Bismack nonsense
- Jack is horrible
Threads that were being thrown up everyday, in any case, I hope most the other fans come here, Dubs are just starting to build something, and we a place to express ourselves.
Getting back on topic, I hope the Dubs aren't just being used as leverage, from all accounts, D12 is probably going to sign with HOU or just return to LA.
What's the worst that would happen if we were being used as leverage? It means that we drove the price up and the Lakers got a better deal. They're still a ways away. The other team would take a hit and Houston and Dallas are closer to a contender for the Warriors anyway. (See DeAndre Jordan)
