The latest news and notes about the Golden State Warriors on Thursday evening:
- Marcus Thompson II of the Contra Costa Times is optimistic about the odds that the Andrew Bogut trade will pan out for the Warriors.
- The San Jose Mercury-News' Tim Kawakami takes a look at the chances that Golden State will be able to keep its 2012 first-round draft pick, which is owned by Utah, albeit with top-seven protections.
- Kawakami believes it essential for the Warriors' future that they keep this pick, as it will be the only upside to what has been a disappointing season that began with playoff hopes.
