Two Warriors' Trade Exceptions Expire Tuesday

The Warriors have two trade exceptions that expire tonight that they can use to make a move.

The club is currently about $4.8 million under the luxury tax threshold, so they could add some salary without being subject to the dollar for dollar tax.

In addition to the two expiring Trade Exceptions, the Warriors also currently hold another large Trade Exception from last year's Cliff Robinson trade, their full $1.67M Bi-annual Exception, and are only one of 4 teams to still hold their entire $5M Mid-Level Exception.

Mullin To Meet With Dunleavy's Agent This Week On Extension

Chris Mullin said he's meeting with Dunleavy's agent, Arn Tellem, next week to begin negotiations.

That Mullin is preparing to talk extension probably means Dunleavy is less likely to be traded this offseason. The period to extend the rookie contracts of players drafted in 2002 began Aug. 1 and concludes Oct. 31.

The Warriors, who open the season Nov. 2, have until Oct. 31 then to sign Dunleavy to a contract extension. If they don't, Dunleavy will become a restricted free agent at the end of the season, and the Warriors would have the right to match any offer he receives.

Mullin also said there's a possibility the Warriors will acquire veteran help for their young bench. Though they're over the salary cap, the Warriors still are able to sign a player using the $5 million midlevel exception. They also have a $5.2 million trade exception, which they can use to acquire talent without giving up anything.

"There's potential to do that," Mullin said.

Fisher And Snow Involved In A Warriors, Cavs And Knicks Three-Way?

Eric Snow, a personal favorite of Larry Brown, is drawing the interest of Isiah Thomas and the Knicks at the request of their new coach.

There have been rumors about Golden State, which would be willing to move Derek Fisher, and the Cavs trying to recruit a third team to take Snow, but the Knicks are turned off by Snow's bloated contract.

The Knicks have some big contract of their own, but since those of Tim Thomas and Penny Hardaway will expire following this season, they have become two of the most attractive in the league.
