The Golden State Warriors were in trade talks with the Minnesota Timberwolves last season centered on Klay Thompson and David Lee for Kevin Love.

The upgrade of Love over Lee didn't seem worth losing Thompson to Bogut.

“Thankfully, we didn’t pull the trigger,” Bogut says. “I don’t know if that trade would have gotten us to this point. I didn’t think it would be a huge upgrade. David Lee provides the same output, besides the 3-point shooting. I thought we could have just found a stretch 4 at the veteran’s minimum — someone like James Jones.”
