The Warriors needed to clear out cap space to sign Andre Iguodala, so they dumped this trio on the Jazz. In return, they'll receive a bunch of draft picks, including a 2014 first-rounder, and an unknown player. Biedrins won't play much in Utah behind Enes Kanter and Derrick Favors, but his expiring $9 million contract is an asset. So is the $11.046 million from Jefferson and the $4 million from Rush that will come off the books in July of 2014."

I wish we wouldve gotten Bogut instead of Biedrins or Jefferson. I hate those two so much but at least they're expiring contracts.

Ive never really understood expiring contracts, and how they become assets. What exactly was the point of us trading all those picks to get 3 mediocre players who cost too much for 1 year?

You guys are getting those draft picks. All you gave up was that dude Kevin murphy

Ah, I see. The NBA is weird. So were basically buying draft picks from the Warriors is what it boils down to, considering we arent winning the title next year anyways.

Doubt Warriors pick turns out to be a lottery pick.

Millsap signed a 2 year 19 million dollar deal with the Hawks last night and DeMarre Carroll jumped to ATL with him on a two year 5 million dollar deal. I really didn't wanna lose Carroll I love his toughness and energy he brings to the team. I really hope we can find someone like him to come in now.

2 year 5 mill? Pretty sad we couldn't work with that. Don't think he even cared to come back with all the DNP's he received last year. Made no sense to me.

2014 pick won't be a lottery pick. But, hope can be a helluva drug.
