A Quiet 4th of July Weekend [SFGate]

"If nothing happens between Elton Brand and the Warriors, which is still the likeliest scenario, don't expect Golden State to turn around and hand out another huge offer to an outside free agent. As one team source told me, the plan is to "take our time" sorting through the rest of the market. Josh Smith? Sources inside and outside the organization say he's not on the Warriors' radar. Corey Maggette? The Warriors like him, but not at much more than the mid-level exception. Andre Iguodala? Even if the Warriors went after him, (which I'm not sure they will), his restricted status is a big hurdle." -------------------------------------------------- How can Josh Smith NOT be on the Warriors' radar? It's good to see the Warriors aren't going to foolishly break the bank for Maggette, but not even taking a shot at Iggy is pretty questionable. Until proven otherwise, cap space for loser teams without star power to draw other big names or a winning tradition is meaningless. I think we'll "take our time" renewing our season tickets this year too.
