Ex-Warrior Andrew Bogut calls trade to Dallas 'part of the business' On July 7, three days after Kevin Durant announced his intention to sign with the Warriors, Andrew Bogut was traded to the Mavericks. In a Q&A with ESPN's Tim McMahon posted Wednesday, Bogut admitted that he thinks Golden State's pursuit of Durant had been in the works for a while. Bogut went on to explain that the Durant rumblings weren't a distraction. "We had all kinds of stuff going on," Bogut said. [...] it felt like a lot of times during the season that every game was a Finals game because of the record. Through two preseason games with Dallas, Bogut has totaled four points on 1-for-7 shooting with 17 rebounds, five assists and four blocks. Connor Letourneau is a San Francisco Chronicle staff writer.
