Remaining FA Centers: What do we do?

We should sign Marc Gasol before the rockets sign him to an offer sheeet. faaaaaaast. up the ante.

Always a choice, we have some decent trade pieces.

I’d sign him 2 year/6M.

rather than sign one of those names.

I’m just curious, is there a chance we can obtain Dwight Howard and CP3 via trades? Does it work out with the salary cap issues etc…?

Hmmm let’s have a look…

Nene, Denver – Not gonna come here
Joel Przybilla – Stinks
Samuel Dalembert – Stinks – will be overpriced
Kyrylo Fesenko – Stinks
Erick Dampier – Stinks
Francisco Elson – Stinks
Hilton Armstrong, – Stinks
Dan Gadzuric – Stinks
Kwame Brown – Stinks
Theo Ratliff – Stinks
Etan Thomas – Stinks
Hamed Haddadi – Stinks
Alexis Ajinca – Stinks

Offer to give the Hornets Ellis if they give back Kaman and Aminu/Bledsoe.

If we cant get him at a reasonable offer, we should stick with bigs we have and try to sign a defensive specialist like Kirilenko

What if we take a flyer on this 23 year old d-leaguer with the classic name, Jarrid Famous? He’s 6-11 with supposed excellent athleticism and in his first 6 NBDL games has averaged 21 pts. and 12.2 rbds on 63% from floor and 76% from the line. He actually sounds somewhat intriguing on Draft Express as well. Heck, they even bother to complement his defensive potential in particular.
Honestly, I’d never heard of him (that I recall) before 10 minutes ago, but if we’re willing to plumb the Australian Basketball leagues for Centers, how about a relatively young NBDL’er who sounds like he could blossom into a destitute person’s Tyson Chandler?
This seems a safer bet with higher upside potential than throwing anything more than a cheap year (or possibly 2 reasonably cheap Dalembert years) at these other guys.
Go Warriors!!!!!!!

we better hope biedrins returns to form

He would be a bad man

Just wanted to throw out there one guy who shows up on some other free agent Center lists. He’s a former #1 high schooler, reasonably athletic and extremely skilled for his size and still young and noticably improving. Although I don’t first think of him as a Center, he played that role as needed for the Pacers last year, and his numbers compare pretty favorably with many on this list already. While we’d all love a beast on the post, Mcroberts passing ability could make him an interesting pairing with D Lee, especially because he too can pop out and even shoot the 3 a bit. He can also back Lee up at the 4 or play the 3 in a pinch with his ballhandling, length and mobility. Not predicting him to be a stud, but he’d be a versatile and interesting addition (perhaps at a reasonable cost).
Go Warriors!!!!!!

Why didn’t the Dubs amnesty Biedrins? It would have been a win-win situation.

Best case scenario: you replace Andris with a better C and still have cap room ;
Worst case scenario: you have no actual C, but can grab a scrub and enter “tank” mode which is always good for a team that wants to be in the playoffs.

By amnestying Bell, not only the Warriors seem to have wasted a powerful undo tool but they will be the essentially team they were last season even if we account for a more mature Curry, Ellis and a non-bitten Lee. With Clippers upping the ante, how come the Ws reach the playoffs?

Unfortunately, I see them ending up in the worst possible area – between the 9th and10th position and leaving Curry wondering whether he should seek greener pastures…
