Other potential FA bigs?

Whoa, nice find, Ikiru. Jones put up these #s for NBDL Boise last season:

17.6 pts/game (in 40 mins.)
65% ts (4th best in the league)
16.0 reb/game (best in the league)

6’11 242, just turned 27. Get this fellow in camp! And rec this post!

Google d-league.

oof, none of these sound like very good options, from Amunson on down through the list of D-Leaguers.
I for one would love to see us find another gem out of the D league, but am not counting on it. I do hope Warriors management at least tries though.

Also, I agreee that the 5 is our weakest spot right now.
No idea what Beans is going to bring to the floor this season. B Wright is probably hurt in the first month. And Don Nelson is much, much too likely to put Lee at the 5.

In retrospect, it almost seems to me like Turiaf may have been our biggest loss in the Lee trade (if only because he played a bigger role on the team than AR)

I’d look to acquire a big from a team with a lot of front court depth. Even If we are able to sign Lou, i would o look to acquire another big like Brandon Bass, Chris Wilcox, Jason Maxiell, Jeff Pendegraph, Dante Cunningham, Chuck Hayes, Hamed Haddadi, Leon Powe, Jason Smith, or Reggie Evans. Offer mix of trade exceptions, second round picks, and expiring deals

But yeah I think i’ll really miss having Turiaf to back up Andris. He was a great shot blocker and could also pass and get a few dunks here and there. I think now we need a defender/rebounder to back up Andris. I don’t know to much about Gadzuric but anyone who can bring defense and rebounding at C we should be looking at right now.

Not really, but I’d like to see a trade happen, especially if they can’t get Lou. I believe Gadz and Bell are now eligible to be traded.

PS What’s the deal with famalegoods.com, I don’t like GSoM being used to advertise cheap Chinese knockoffs.

listed at 6’11" 245 lbs.

…meh, never mind; I just did some internet research on the guy and it sounds pretty dismal
Oh well, at least we have his expiring contract, here’s hoping that the team will actually use it in some productive fashion!

Some quotes from the world wide web:

“Dan Gadzuric was the worst of the Bucks’ three centers with 0.94 PPP, offsetting a good opponent fg% (.381) with an extremely high foul rate—over a quarter of post possessions against him ended in a shooting foul”

Here is his season in review:
“Dan Gadzuric played in only 32 games for the Bucks in 2009-2010. This is the lowest amount since he’s been with the team beginning with the 2002-2003 campaign. He played only 313 minutes on the season. A knee strain kept him out for most of December. From December thru March, Gadzuric appeared in only 11 games. I don’t believe Gadzuric would be on the team if not for the high salary. He doesn’t seem to fit in with Scott Skiles system. Athleticism is his best asset. I wasn’t expecting him to develop into a back to the basket scorer. I was hoping he’d be able to grow into a player that plays in control contributing on the defensive end. Gadzuric often plays out of control and picks up ticky-tack fouls. Also he isn’t as good of a screen setter as I’d like from a backup big. For a guy that’s played 8 years in the league, you should be able to set a screen properly. Danny G is what he is at this point of his career.”

Nikola is really NBA ready -could be next Gortat

is a beast in 2K10 haha

the traded him to Toronoto along with Barbosa for Turkoglu.

I don’t understand why the warriors’ lack of depth at 5 hasn’t been one of the dominant themes for the media and fans since, well, since “Damp/Foyle” was touted as the answer to the problem a thousand years ago!

While I remain a huge fan of Nellie, and was willing to watch Maggs play the 4, etc., as an offensive strategy, I’m still sick of having no legitimate size with defensive post ability on this team. This is the key reason I am not terribly excited about this coming season and the Lee acquisition. I will refrain from arguing for shot-blocking, since the stat-heads seem to loathe it as a valuable skill, and prefer guys that rebound at a high clip while averaging 0.4 BPG, but come on! Something’s gotta give!

Don’t get me wrong: I love what Beans brings to the table when healthy, but he is by no means a defensive presence, and that combined with Lee’s total ineffectiveness in this regard is just nauseating to me. I am dreading watching them get eaten alive by floppy wimps like Pau Gasol, and probably the guy the Nelson’s record and the lottery stole from us: Demarcus Cousins.

Then there’s Udoh: He has all the makings of a legitimate post defender, which is great, but mid-season, when he’s hopefully healthy, he’s still going to be 6’10. That just doesn’t cut it anymore. For a few years, under an owner like Cohan, I can deal with it, but now I want a g*ddam 7-footer! I saw Olajuwon on Pros vs. Joes recently. He was the only reason the Pros won! Frankly, I’d rather watch him walk up and down the court, being nowhere near the play 2/3 of the time, just to see a d*mn opponent at least hesitate to dunk all over my whole team!

Are you reading this low-level Lacob staffer? I’m already pissed the old regime made it harder for me to park behind that (former) Denny’s by closing the walk-in gate! I’m not paying $20 to park, $10+ for an alcoholic beverage, another $10 for my girlfriend’s pathetic, three-chip nachos, and $200+ for good seats to watch an $80million player with the muscle definition of Will Ferrel and a $60million, cigarette-smoking goose get beat up by Zach “three blunts, a 40oz., and a bucket of chicken pre-game” Randolph!

Get on it!

 haha, I think he makes the “all skeptic” team.
