why play your hand? what would he have to gain with prospective/interested teams if he claimed "i'm totally out of here, i can't wait to move on to another team, preferrably LA which is my hometown that i would truly love to get a multi-year contract from due to my injury proneness"?

long story short - if there was a player of Baron's calibre available when the Warriors picked, they would've gone for that guy. Baron saying he was/wasn't coming back wouldn't have been a factor, since he's getting up there in age and is an injury risk (despite playing all 82 games last year).

even longer story short - no team will hang their hopes on what a player says, after what Carlos Boozer did to the Cavs several years back. this is a business.
