Warriors are thinking of releasing Looney, who has 3 of his 8 million gauranteed. Instead of spending that money on nothing (just waiving him) they fill a roster spot with someone with size. Filling the roster spot saves them even more money than just releasing him.
Nuggets get an expiring and a backup center.
Jazz take a chance a Nnaji who fell completly out of the Nuggets rotation. The get another late first as well.
