2009 and 2010 free agents
espn has a list of these and its pretty interesting to look through
I really don't think we are going to be able to trade for a championship center or power forward, and drafting one is in no way a sure thing, so I say we look to future free agents Carlos Boozer (2009) and Yao Ming (ETO 2010). Both of these guys are good for 20+ points, and 10+ rebounds.
Boozer showed us a year ago that he is better in the post than anyone on the Warriors and I think he could do a great job of filling the 4 spot next to our good-but-not-great center in biedrins. To get him might only take money. He had the option of playing next to Lebron or heading to Utah with more pay, and he took the money. So if we don't get any big free agent this summer, we could just save our cap space next year with a couple 1-year contracts. boozer might not be a "Championship PF" but he is high up in terms of skill level.
With Yao Ming, he isn't the best center in the game, but maybe top 5, maybe top 3. The combination of an unproven run with T-Mac and the warm welcome our local asian community would give him maybe be enough to lure him to Golden State.

once again
their current teams can offer more years and more money. I think Utah will do anything and everything they can to keep DWill and Boozer together. Houston seems pretty comitted to Yao, but its conceivable his injury history might make them weary of offering him max money. And this could be an attractive destination for him.

i agree
i think boozer would be hard to get, but worth going after during that summer.
and with yao, I think he would be more willing to play here than boozer, and he could be a more valuable player

better than
Yi I guess. It would be a huge move PR-wise I guess. I’ve never been a huge Yao fan, but when healthy he’s certainly worth max money.
