Exactly. I wonder what the backlash would be?
I doubt it would be anything worse than what the Heat dealt with.

To say they can free up the cap space is accurate, but extremely difficult. They would need to:
1) Trade AI's 11.1 mill salary into cap space (not take any contracts back.
2) Stretch Bogut (or trade him into space) and Thompson (or trade him into space)
3) Renounce Barnes
4) Release all other FAs cap holds

Am I the only one who thinks this is a bad idea? Lets assume the Warriors break the 72-10 record and win a second consecutive championship...at that point, why would they need to bring in somebody like Durant? In my view, the only thing that could happen is to mess up the team chemistry. They all fit together so well as it is, I don't think bringing in another player who needs the ball in his hands fits their system. At some point, you get to a point where you have too much talent.

Doesn't seem all that difficult, could probably find someone to take bogut for next year. Would still be retaining Livingston and Ezeli as long as he resigns after.

They need a deep bench to keep everyone fresh more than another max. No reason to rock the boat.

IIrc mabye 4 not even 5 months ago Pels talk was claiming that they had a 10% chance to get him, and a better chance than anyone not named OKC or WAS Some real hoopheads over there.
Some real hoopheads over there.

Wait, why is it ok for Durant to join up with a super team but Lebron gets crucified for it?
Posted on 2/2/16 at 1:26 pm to NFLU
Guys...don't be so quick to crown Warriors w/Durant going forward...think you are forgetting the Rockets just got their MVP Josh Smith back. Bigger move, FWIMO.

I know right?
But what does it say about you that you're the one on that board who continually shows his lack of basketball knowledge despite some of the dumbass posters there?
That's got to be a bit of an ego shot, no?

KD will sign a 1yr deal this off season to align his contract with RW and Serge. This will also make him an UFA when the salary cap jumps up to $110 million with a luxury tax threshold of $127 million in 2017
At that point KD/RW/Serge can decide to stay in OKC or go someplace else as a package deal or move independently

There are 2 or 3 posters there who are very knowledgeable but I've come across nobody there who when compared to me would make me appear to have a lack of knowledge by any means.

Depth wins championships.
Depth wins conference championships. If your second line is d league quality because that's all you can afford, then you'll win a ton of games, but it will be difficult to win championships.
If I'm warriors I much prefer what I have now, versus shipping off half the team to land durant.
Also, when you tie that much money up in a small percentage of your roster, injuries hurt so much more. You don't want your second or third guy off the bench to be a league minimum caliber player.
Not saying they'd be bad. Just saying attempting to improve on what they currently have by replacing 3 solid players with one superstar is asking for trouble.

They can let go of Barnes and Iguoudala - combined to make 16 million next year. Along with Bogut who makes 11 million a year.
Getting rid of all 3 leave 26 million to sign Durant + a big man + backup wing.

Jason Thompson is also playing 6.7 minutes a game and making 6.8 million a year.
