Warriors Want Posey For Pietrus?

Miami Herald -
Though a sign-and-trade with Golden State involving free agents Mickael Pietrus and James Posey makes sense, Miami is reluctant because it doesn't want to pay a substantial luxury tax. (Miami already is about $1 million over the threshold.)

The Heat prefers to move players already under contract for Pietrus (like Michael Doleac), but the Warriors haven't taken the bait.

I think Posey is a lil pre-occupied layely

Barnes Gone? Warriors Sign Perovic, Croshere Is Next

Ten-year veteran forward Austin Croshere is expected to sign a one-year deal with Golden State this morning, team sources said. And the Warriors have inked 2006 draft pick Kosta Perovic to a multiyear deal, according to Perovic's agent, Bill Duffy.

The moves mean Golden State -- which had no official comment on either signing but is expected to announce both deals today -- has 14 of its 15 roster slots filled. That includes restricted free-agent forward Mickael Pietrus, who is on the Warriors' books at the team's qualifying offer of $3.47 million, and doesn't leave much room for rookie forward Stephan Lasme, a second-round selection, unrestricted free-agent forward Matt Barnes or any other new acquisition they might be targeting.

Barnes was on fire in the playoffs. I don't understand why the Warriors (or any other team) don't seem to want him.

Because they're trying to fix something that isn't broken.

Barnes returning to the Warriors

Months after his "Believe" tattoo became intertwined with the Warriors' playoff slogan, Matt Barnes is believing in himself again. Faced with an increasingly stingy free-agent market, Barnes is returning to Oakland on a one-year contract with hopes of scoring a bigger payday next summer.

The two sides agreed to terms, according to agent Aaron Goodwin, and Barnes is expected to officially re-sign today. League sources said Barnes will make $3.5 million, the remainder of the Warriors' mid-level exception.

Thus ends a frustrating summer for Barnes, who originally sought a long-term contract starting at the mid-level exception of $5.36 million after his breakout year under coach Don Nelson.

Barnes averaged career-highs across the board and was critical to the Golden State's postseason run with 11.1 points and 5.7 rebounds in 30 minutes a game. But teams were reluctant to commit so much money to a player who earned the league minimum last year and has been on five teams in four seasons.

Barnes also went through three agents while seeking his new deal, firing Bill Neff during the playoffs, signing with Dan Fegan, then dropping Fegan in favor of Goodwin two weeks ago.

The Warriors remained Barnes' preferred destination through it all, and rather than sign a multi-year deal also offered by the club, Barnes will try to increase his stock before re-entering the market in a year.

"In the end, it probably made more sense for Matt to show not only the Warriors, but the NBA, that he's a serious player," Goodwin said. "Given the opportunity, which he was last year, he can play in this league for a number of years to come."

Barnes' return essentially makes the Warriors nonplayers in free agency. Though the team still has a one-year qualifying offer of $3.5 million out to Mickael Pietrus, the Warriors have now used up all of their midlevel exception between Barnes and center Kosta Perovic, who can make up to $1.8 million next season.

Golden State still has its bi-annual exception of $1.8 million left, but any other additions outside of league-minimum contracts will have to come via trade. If Pietrus returns, the Warriors would have 16 players under guaranteed contracts and be forced to cut one before the season starts.
