That being said, if Barnes is signed, then Mavs come out with a better team than things seemed 24 hours ago. I wonder who's going to start at center though? I know, already cutting Bogut out of it.

For the record, I do not consider Bogut to be bad or done.

That's a low bar to have. This offseason should've been about rebuilding or contending and none of these moves do that. I'm so confused about the Bogut trade. All it does is help GS out. Unless it helps us snag Barnes I don't understand. Bogut is a decent big but you could get his value for far cheaper.

Sounds like GSW are relinquishing the rights to Barnes, making him an unrestricted free agent, who Dallas just got a viral agreement from... So, yeah, it looks like the Warriors are are returning the favor for us taking those guys off their hands.

Yep Cuban should win GM of the year for taking Boguts contract for GS and giving them cap room to sign KD. It just delays rebuilding for another year with no future to speak of. I guess they want to miss out on big free agents next summer as well.
