Durant's decision has all but assured a long-term lockout

Once he commands the salary he deserves, role-players like Livingston and Iguodala are gone.

GS has their Bird rights, so they can keep them indefinitely. They'll also have the MLE, and only owe one of their future 1sts -- to Utah in 2017. If they can turn Kevin Looney, Jason Thompson and their remaining picks into a decent 5, they're set for the next 3 years -- after which they'll have to re-sign Klay.

GS has Curry's bird rights and Thompson's as well, correct? Who else? They will eventually have to pay Green and might not be able to. Same with Iguodala, and everyone else. Right? Thompson and Curry are the only two they can go over the cap for, correct?
 
The Warriors will own Bird Rights on all of their players except Durant. The only question is simply how much money they're willing to spend (provided these two years for Durant go well enough).

They can go over the cap for Livingston, Iggy, Curry, Klay, Dray and KD.

Note: Forgot they waived Jason Thompson.
 
The Op is an idiot.. Doesn't understand business. The owners like this. Well maybe not the whiney ownership of Utah but most love it. They are about making money not feelings being hurt.. Some people lack commonsense I swear

The cap likely won't be an issue for 3 more years for GS, provided Livingston and Iggy don't demand HUGE raises.

Also, they'll have KD's Bird rights in 3 years.

Thompson is gone, Looney is trash. Their only hope is that their recent draftee Damian Jones doesn't bust (he's very much a project). Pat McCaw could be intriguing for them as well.
 
Time out. If KD is signing for only two years, doesn't that mean they won't have Bird Rights on him?
 
I also don't see it as impossible for other GMs to collude and freeze out GSW
