So the same could be said about Barbosa, no?
Yeah, I suppose.
But Barbosa didn't seem to fit the "youth movement". Also, backup SG wasn't considered one of the team's biggest holes going into the offseason.
Johnson was still young/inexperienced (i.e. had room to blossom), played a position of greatest need, and was still shown the door.
D-MAC has landed!

the Barbosa reference reminds me... sorry but kinda off topic.... for those stating BC coulda, shoulda got more for him, the guy is having a hard time getting a contract for more than the veteran's minimum. I am shocked by this but I think that speaks to his lack of trade value at the deadline last year. although it should be mentioned that no returning contracts was a condition of any deal.
When you're at the page of the tweet, go to "Embed this Tweet". There should be a bunch of code for you to copypaste, and you do just that!

That was just a tweet embedding test, lol.
It works!!!
was just talking to a guy here at work that's a warriors fan and he was really disappointed to see macguire go. said he was one of those dudes that gives 110% ALL the time and while he had virtually no offensive game to speak of, the team was at its best when he was on the floor. said it was a REALLY underrated signing for us.
then he ranted about the udoh trade for 15 minutes.
I just remembered where I know McGuire from
