We know Larry Riley and Don Nelson would be ecstatic to have Chris Bosh in a Warriors jersey this season, but would the Raptors actually trade away their cornerstone even before the 2010 free agent madness?
A strange picture indeed.

UPDATE (8/18/09 8:31am): And it don't stop!
Warriors guard Watson has few options [Inside Bay Area]
Warriors general manager Larry Riley has turned down all the offers he's received for Watson, the latest and most significant coming from the Orlando Magic, according to a person close to the talks. Riley turned down a first-round draft pick, cash and a reserve guard, the source said.
Riley Working Magic with Watson? [Inside the Warriors]
So, with Watson’s only option being a sign-and-trade, his agent, obviously, goes to work looking for a deal. Riley, weighing Watson against what he’s being offered, has said no each time. The latest offer: a first-round pick (which would likely be a really late first-rounder), cash and a guard on the bench (one that is under contract - so likely Anthony Johnson because certainly it wasn’t J.J. Redick. or Jameer Nelson) The result, the Warriors are likely going to get Watson at a bargain. Either Watson will play for the qualifying offer, which is just over a million. Or Watson will sign for three years and $1.5 million a year - which is likely below market value (if Watson were an unrestricted free agent).
Watson Staying With Golden State? [Hoopsworld]
Keep in mind that any deal over the $800,000 Watson earned last season makes him a Base Year Compensation player, and in a sign-and-trade deal the Warriors could only take back 50% of Watson's first year salary, meaning to have any real value to the Warriors, Watson's first year salary would have to be north of $4 million. A Trade Player Exception has no real asset value unless it's over $2 million. A deal involving Anthony Johnson at $1.9 million means a first year salary of almost $4 million; a deal involving J.J. Reddick means a first year salary of almost $6 million - astronomical numbers for C.J. Watson.

Rumor: Magic and Warriors talking sign-and-trade for C.J. Watson

UPDATE (7:16pm): Matt Steinmetz writes on FanHouse Warriors' C.J. Watson Can Only Go to Magic in Sign-and-Trade:
The Magic were said to be considering extending an offer sheet to Watson last week before signing Barnes, but according to a league source Orlando was convinced the Warriors would match their offer.
Also complicating the issue is that Watson already may have a multi-year contract offer in front of him -- for three years, $4.5 million -- from the Warriors, according to the source.
Come to think of it I must say $1.5 a year for C.J. seems like a steal for a solid end of the bench player who can shoot. I'm a little hesitant to hand out a 3 year deal, but... I admittedly tend to be overly frugal with non-stars. I'm of the mindset pay your top dogs and then go as cheap as you can to fill out the 10th-12th spots. Those players really don't impact your win total. Depth is fairly meaningless.
=====================================
Sign-and-trade?
