Warriors Offer Bogut, Thompson To Lakers For Howard

OAKLAND (CBS Sports) -- The Golden State Warriors have never been shy about pursuing Dwight Howard. They wanted him when he was in Orlando, and they want him now and are apparently willing to do just about anything to get him.

According to sources, the Warriors are willing to offer Andrew Bogut and Klay Thompson or Harrison Barnes. The Warriors can also add in the expiring contracts of Richard Jefferson or Andris Biedrins to sweeten the deal with more cap relief for the Los Angeles Lakers.

Golden State, which can only sign Howard via sign-and-trade, believes that is the best offer Los Angeles will receive.
