Jarrett Jack, Carl Landry unlikely to be back with Warriors
Though the Golden State Warriors added Andre Iguodala on Friday, they likely lost more than the players they traded to the Utah Jazz.
Marcus Thompson of Bay Area News Group reports that the Warriors had to renounce their rights to Jarrett Jack and Carl Landry because of the four-year, $48 million deal they agreed to with Iguodala.
Landry is a free agent after choosing not to pick up his $4 million player option with the Warriors. He is looking for a multi-year deal.
The Warriors were interested in bringing back Jack, who is an unrestricted free agent, but they are unlikely to be able to afford him. The Denver Nuggets and Dallas Mavericks reportedly have shown interest in Jack, who had a fantastic season for the Warriors last season, averaging 12.9 points and 5.6 assists while shooting 45.2 percent from the field.
Jack seemed to be disappointed about his fate:
Well it was fun while it lasted

The Warriors have a lineup that looks strong, but they will lose some depth without Jack and Landry.
UPDATE: On Saturday, Landry agreed to a four-year deal worth $26-27 with the Sacramento Kings. Less than an hour later, Jack agreed to a 4-year, $25 million deal with the Cavs.
