Andrew Bogut is one of three members of the Golden State Warriors who will not benefit from the Warriors acquisition of Kevin Durant. The Dubs have been to the NBA Finals the last two years in a row and the starting center for game 1 in both of those series was Andrew Bogut.
As time went on in each series, for one reason or another, Bogut was removed from the lineup. Now, it looks like Bogut will be permanently removed from the Warriors roster.
