After a delay in announcing it due to a logjam at the league office, the Golden State Warriors have traded Charles Jenkins and Jeremy Tyler for a pair of second round picks in what can only be described as a salary dump.
Well, in a very late turn of events, it looks like the Warriors have made a deal after all.
