Warriors Rumors: Warriors out of LeBron chase regardless of free agency decision?

In today's Warriors rumors and news update, the Golden State Warriors are presumably sitting out on the Carmelo Anthony/LeBron James sweepstakes just under a week into the 2014 NBA free agency period.

Here's Tim Kawakami of the San Jose Mercury News with his thoughts on the Warriors in regards to the two biggest names on the open market:

The Warriors have no scheduled sit-downs with LeBron James or Carmelo Anthony, because this just isn’t that kind of mega-sell summer for them.

This isn’t at all like last year, when the Warriors waded into the Dwight Howard Circus, put on the big pitch, and earned themselves a spot on the free agent front lines.

Then Joe Lacob, Bob Myers & Co. wheeled around and acquired Andre Iguodala almost before the Howard meeting was done.

This time, unless the Warriors make a late jump into the LeBron/Carmelo intrigue, they’re playing it cool in July.

If things work out for them, it will be about delayed gratification, patience, and tending to the quality roster and quality people they have already assembled.

So, unless the Warriors are ready to pull off the sign-and-trade to end all sign-and-trades, look for them to remain out of the limelight when it comes to the circus surrounding LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony.
