GS has to get rid of Bogut or Iggy to make room for Durant (at least that is what I've heard, I haven't done the math).  I think the conventional wisdom is that Bogut is the guy that will likely be gone, but does that actually make basketball sense.  Without Bogut, GS will have to re-sign Ezeli who will likely get a large contract from someone (that GS will have to match) and that means Ezeli is the only "center" GS would have on its roster (they would have to renounce Speights as well if they can't get him signed on a small contract which is unlikely).  Now sure they play small a lot, but they can't always play small and is Ezeli really the guy you want to rely on.  I think it makes more sense to trade Iggy.  From a basketball perspective they can fill the depth on the wing a lot easier (they still have Livingston and Looney on the bench) and they would probably get more for Iggy than they could from Bogut.

Iggy was part of their recruiting party, Bogut's gone.

Who's going to be their center, KD? Seriously...the choice would be him or Green, and KD is taller.

Sounds like even if they dump Bogut, they're still capped out once KD gets the max.

My hope is that nobody agrees to trade for Bogut or Iggy. Force KD to take a massive paycut.
