J-Rigga what’s so bad about sophisticated A.A.? He’s from New Orleans not Richmond. I get behind the team and support a more talented man than yourself playing in the NBA. I don’t see any of these hater that have even played the sport of basketball in college let alone the NBA. Baker Beach, Legion of Honor, and the FiDi the new playground when the dubs leave the Oakland Zoo for the true City.

Biedrins will go to jail for tax evasion and the warriors will void his contract, so don’t worry about hitting the luxury tax.

I’m not happy and very concerned. Jarrett Jack will add nothing to our club scene. Heard he does not buy bottle service and prefers, walks on the beach and museums. UHHHH,, bad move Dubs!

Cap space is nice. The team is flexible. But cap space can also be a hindrance. For one the Golden State Warriors are NOT a destination franchise. So you have all the cap space with no one to sign or no one wants to come here.

By the way, teams can always sign players to a veteran’s minimum contract – which is how Warriors got Nate and McGuire last year.

Actually I have heard that, ironically, Biedrins has incentives that have to be part of the cap – probably something like “if Warriors make playoffs” or “if Warriors win the title”. An incentive, however unlikely, has to have a cap hold, since it is possible.

No…the bonuses just affect going over the potential luxury tax threshold, not the salary cap per se.

Your #s look good, Marcus. Hoopsworld usually has good data.

Also, when guessing what we might do with this year’s cap space, we also have to consider next year when Curry’s cap hold is close to 10 million. If he can’t get his ankle’s right, I don’t see him being worth signing other than the one year qualifying offer.

Rusty Simmons says Bogut has potential incentives that need to be factored in the salary cap.

Assuming we re-sign Rush (obviously not a given), and assuming no trades, we’re pretty much looking at the roster we’ll have for the next 2 years (thanks to the $9m Beans and $11m Jefferson player options next season).

We have 1 year to learn about Curry’s ankle as he enters restricted free agency. If he performs we’d be sniffing the lux tax next year.

We’ve got 2 seasons of Bogut to figure out if he is worth max-type money. Luckily $20m will come off the books by then (Beans & RJ).

I get sick looking at that David Lee contract…those last two seasons at $15m apiece are going to be brutal.

Thanks Marcus!
Landry Fields got a pretty sizable offer for a middling SG – Brandon Rush is as good or better a player IMHO (but I’m a W’s homer). Once Rush’s offer is received or not, the W’s can proceed to fill out the rest of the roster.
