If I remember the Warriors signed up Turiaf a year ago in similar fashion. Currently the Jazz are on the clock with Millsap. But like I said before most of this information is media driven, then further driven when Bass signed with Orlando, why does a non tax payer open up it's purse strings to sign a backup center and a power forward....rather than giving their combined salary to their 2nd best player in Hedo? The risk is we lose him and lose out on players like Sheed, Artest, Ariza. Well if the media wants to play the game, they should monitor the Gortat trade watch....if he goes to Houston for Ariza, then I think Stern would have to step in.
