Golden State's Chris Mullin wouldn't say if he came close to making a deal on Thursday, one after the gutsy Baron Davis trade, but he said teams were not offering enough and wanted too much in return. He said he never came across the "right piece" to make the Warriors better.

"I really wasn't anticipating one way or the other," Mullin said on a conference call. "I looked at a lot, not just today, but over the last several months. ... Anything we feel we need to address would be addressed later."

Mullin said he expects more options this offseason. Not only will more players be available, but his own players won't be as restricted by collective bargaining agreement rules. Guard Jason Richardson and Troy Murphy, perhaps the Warriors' two most attractive players, lose their base year compensation status in July, making them easier to trade.
