Source said reports Bogut has all but decided on Cavs are inaccurate. Bogut's hoping to speak with Cs players Tues: https://t.co/oN9SsTZlO7

I hope that's correct, although the cynic in me says that that's exactly what Bogut should say, to increase his leverage.

Mike

What leverage? The Cavs don't have room to make him a large offer - I believe all they can give him is the vet minimum. And he's not going to take minutes from Thompson or Love so he's not really in a position to jockey for leverage. I believe he is trying to figure which team will provide him with the best opportunity to play significant minutes and possibly make a little bit more money in real free agency this offseason.

to me this is how i think Bogut is weighing his options

Cavs -

pros - much better chance of getting a shot at a ring
cons - not much playing time, might not start (Love and Thompson)

Bos

pros - more playing time, probably can start. If he does well and stay relatively healthy, might get him more money elsewhere
cons - will not get a ring

I sort of see it like that.

I think Bogut just wants to be in an environment where he has fun, plays more than fifteen minutes a game, has a significant, or at least a consistent role in the team. And can just play his game how he sees fit, which I believe Stevens will do his best to utilize him.

The thing is Bogut isn't just a great passer, he's an excellent one.

Last year, Curry was averaging 50.9% percent, and Klay was averaging 56.7% on catch and shoot/bounce passes on the pick and roll.

He can also set hard screens, and at the top of the arc can set up easy buckets for cutters. Bogut has always been the premier big men that defied most critics of the small ball area. Even Kerr admitted that Bogut was deeply essential to their offense, system, and defensive anchoring.

Bogut should be picked up by this team, especially since I think in 20-25 MPG, he can average like 5-7 PPG, with at least 8-9 RPG and 2-3 APG.

Pairing him next to Horford, gives us two capable big men of blocking or altering shots that can pass in our offense.

So Bogut had a good talk with Danny and is scheduled to talk with Brad next. Looks like there is genuine interest on both sides. The article mentioned that Bogut is also set to talk with Ty Lue though. I hope we get him.

I see Danny offering a wink wink deal. He helps us this year for the vet min . See's how he work with the team in Brad's offense, and can easily win a starting spot by the playoffs.

Then next year if we miss out on a free agent, we can offer Bogut an Amir type contract with a 2nd year team option, so we could have cap room in 2018.

Also if we trade for a PG13 or Butler we are likely sending out AB or Jae, meaning we will still have cap room to re-sign Bogut next year, while still adding an all-star wing.

So when exactly will we know something? I thought these guys had to be signed by March 1 to be eligible for postseason. Now I am reading Bogut is not even clearing Waivers until Wednesday, March 1. So where are these dates and cutoffs for signing guys? It's like a big secret that only the insiders know. It would be good if we knew what date and time is the deadline to see if we get anybody.

I believe players have to be waived by 1 March to be eligible for the playoffs. Don't quote me on that, though.

i found this... idk how legit it is:

"After many reports suggesting Andrew Bogut would sign with the Cavaliers, the Celtics have emerged as the favorites to acquire the center."

If he values playing time the Celtics are the only option imo.  He'd get next to no minutes on the Cavs or Spurs.


Great words from a great man

Not really a reputable site, but considering how many 'fake,' or unreliable sites have been sprouting the same information, leads me to believe there is more fire than smoke at this point.

This whole Bogut decision needs some WWE style marketing and promotion.

Get Bogut front row seats for the Cavs/Celtics game on Wednesday.  Winner gets Bogut. 

If the C's win, great, Bogut and the C's will just meet up with the Cavs at the main event of SummerSlam.

But if the Cavs win, Bogut wil appear to go out to congratulate the Cavs and join forces with them.  He'll shake hands with LeBron, but then kick him in the stomach and deliver a stunner as the Garden erupts!


After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

Pretty much. We need him, the other two teams don't, they just don't want any opponents to have him.

It would be big if Bogut chooses The Celtics for basketball reasons but also for destination reasons. Look at the other teams he's considering:Cavs, Rockets, Spurs, Celtics...
