    You kid, but

    Lillard / McCollum
    Thompson / McCollum / Barton
    Barnes / Claver
    Lee / Leonard / Freeland
    Drummund / Withey

    A gazillion dollars in cap space next year with the high pick we would have is EXACTLY how a team should rebuild

    Batum and Wes apparently. Not that I see it happening.

    I'd do that if all those fell into place like that. It kinda helps Detroit too because that's where they suck badly in anyway.

    There's no way Detroit trades Drummond so it's pointless.

    Actually you forgot Robinson in that scenario backing up Lee at PF.
    I kid because I don't think GS would give us both Klay and Barnes. I wouldn't.

    I know I wouldn't. But.... Maybe Atlanta would trade Horford for Batum, Matthews and Barton?

    I was suggesting something similar yesterday: deal Matthews, Batum, and Aldridge for Ross, Barnes, and Drummond respectively (along with corresponding expiring contracts). 'Twould give us the 5-9 & 11 picks from 2012, and about 30M in cap space next summer. It wasn't completely crazy, honestly...

    For the people who are saying that GS won't include both Thompson AND Barnes, show me where those two have been so exceptional. Barnes is a rookie, and he didn't start, so that's his excuse.... but where exactly is Thompson so exceptional? Everything about him statistically seems pretty average to me.

    Which is why I've been saying that since this rumor first broke.

    The way I see it, neither Harrison Barnes or Klay Thompson are worth Aldridge by themselves, and Bogut is just cap space. I still think there's a better deal out there.

    Yeah wait till everyone blows their load. Also wait for where Howard lands. I suspect a lot of teams will scramble to compete with that team

    That’ll show the warriors; we got Brandon Rush practically for free! And as a bonus we got four years WITHOUT Brandon Rush for free too.
