Warriors, Jazz and Nuggets in sign-and-trade talks......

Foye was worth more than we were will to pay and the role we would offer Foye isn't what he wanted.

On the draft pick part 2nd picks can be valuable- if nothing else as trade chips. And I expect we will continue to wheel and deal.

This is what I think is the most likely scenario. I dont think this is necessarily a "seperate" deal. I wonder if we actually get three 2nd's or if this is one of the 2. I bet it's one of the 2.

When it all breaks down wednesday will rep if you were right!!
 
Here's something that just came to mind: Maybe part of the mega-pick/salary dump negotiations was GS getting confirmation that the Jazz would play ball in helping GS get Iguodala in a S/T. Seems very possible, especially since the details on the 2nd rounders have been murky and that I've heard that it is two 2nd rounders and also heard that it was THREE second rounders. Maybe this is the key to the murkiness.

I'm thinking the same thing, because none of the deals can really go through until the 10th anyway. I'm hoping it's 3 second round picks but who knows.

I'm very interested to hear the details of the 2nd rounders, too. Here's to hoping we got three of them.
 
Should have just let the chips fall where they may. A gutted Golden State team would have been worth more to the Jazz than another pick. Oh well. Gotta just hope that health issues hurt the warriors and net the Jazz a good pick in 2014.
 
I think the Jazz may be doing this as a favor to Foye and his agent. The Jazz had supposedly promised Foye more years when they recruited him a year ago.
 
"Using the sign-and-trade, however, means Golden State will have a hard cap. New CBA rules state that teams receiving a player in a sign-and-trade cannot for any reason go more than more than $4 million above the luxury tax line – which is expected to be $75.6 million.

The Warriors are at about $59 million, including non-guaranteed contracts and Iguodala’s first year is just shy of $12 million. That would leave Golden State about $16 million of room to add players, including the MLE to sign a free-agent."

The first trade left GS with $23M in trade exceptions. Now they're actually down to less than that by structuring the Iggy deal as a S&T. We've effectively helped GS back themselves into a limited spending zone. I guess a few quailty FA's are still available, but the W's could have still traded for players with their exceptions. Point is, if they want to fill their roster, they'd find a way to do it. Jack and Landry have already agreed to terms with other teams, so mission accomplished on that front. Wouldn't it be ironic if the Warriors used their newly regained MLE to sign Mo as a replacement for Jack?
