@Ewok,

We have a $7M cap hold for rush and we have his Bird rights. I don’t think we’ll lose him.

They’re keeping Rush and probably dumping McGuire. Rush is a restricted free-agent. They’ll just match whatever another team will offer and retain him. This doesn’t go against the salary cap.

I’m concerned about one thing. What does all this mean for our club scene? Its the number one question on eveyrones minds. Is this good for SOMA? I have osme concerns.

Realistically,

We are going to lose Brandon Rush. He is worth way more than what remains in our moneychest and a lot of teams are after him.

I can see us however, retaining Mcguire. He really likes to be a Warrior, He seems to be a mission to fight for his role in the starting line up, and he seems ammenable to what the Warriors can offer…

However, i really like the idea of Antawn Jamison rejoing the team but its also a bit far-fetched and unrealistic.

This team is solid. I think we have what it takes to compete and stay competitive. We are deep. We are going to make noise this year for sure. Going to the playoffs is very achievable.

The Warriors however will not win a championship just yet. Their chances of winnning a title will finally happen upon Biedrin’s and Jefferson’s departure with their ridiculous price tags. From there we can entice a quality player to join us. These two combined spells a big amount of money on the payroll.

If Elton Brand is amnestied, when would teams have to bid on him? Not sure which teams are under the cap, as players are being signed daily. I’m sure some of those teams are set at Power Forward, he can run/rebound. P.S. – W’s did try to sign him at same price, he just preferred Philly.

“The designated player goes through a waiver process in which teams under the salary cap bid for him. His salary will be divided between his new team and old team, with the former likely picking up a substantial portion.
The highest bidder acquires the player”

I applaud Meyers, I’ve always loved Jack’s game even at Georgia Tech. He’s a pro and somebody I believe Charles Jenkins can be. I’m not sure what the money looks like after this but I think we get Rush and McGuire back in the fold and this roster is set.

This bunch should be able to defend pretty well. Training camp should be fun to watch.

Roster
Curry
Thompson
Barnes
Bogut
Lee

Jenkins
Jack
Green
Festus
Rush

McGuire
Beans
Tyler
C.Wright
Jefferson

I too hope the W’s complete the roster by signing McGuire, assuming the remaining money will do it. McGuire personifies the Jerry West mantra of getting guys who are bangers: tough with a “blue collar” mindset. That is what McGuire brings in spades.
With that signing, I agree that this would be as deep a W roster as I can remember since RunTMC.

Good move.

Too bad we have two players who are financial burdens: Beans and Jefferson.

I think now we can sign McGuire to add inside toughness.
Assuming all is healthy… this is the deepest Warrior team for a while. Let’s see how they gel.

Would love to see Mcguire get signed and stay. He seems to be under appreciated, but remember he was our best defender last year, really good rebounder, tough son of a gun and his mid-range was starting to show up. I think he actually could have been our starting 3. We have 4 other guys who can score on the court, he would do the dirty work. bring Barnes off the bench for a change of pace, a Harden kinda sixth man who can heat it up.
