No to Jones for me...but I would be all for MCW. He would be a nice Livingston replacement if he leaves in free agency this summer.

MCW is a real bust. Has similar body but has he ever shown interest in defending?

Plus would he be that cheap? He's young so he's going to command or demand money.

Maybe like Speights, the market for Livingston won't be that great, even though he's having his best shooting year. He is after all getting up there in age.

I'd be keen on Jones for sure. He's better than Mac and Looney combined

rebounds, blocks shots, can hit the 3....... yes please

If Bogut is bought out?

Warriors can't sign him until next year, actually July 1, after the Finals are over.

Cavs are said to be interested.

I haven't seen him play since his Rockets days...and I wasn't a fan of him on the Rockets. But yeah, it doesn't take much to be better than Looney or Mcadoo.

I'm intrigued by both MCW and Terrance Jones. Not that i'll be super happy with either, or bummed if we don't get one of them... just that I'm intrigued. I've seen both play well at times, but if they're getting bought out i can't imagine they are playing well the majority of the time. haha

I'd rather have Deron Williams, but I guess he's going to Cleveland.

They'd have to be big ring chasers.

he was awful in Houston

Been a lot better this year since cracking the rotation. just as an example , in his last game for NO, he had 21 points (at over 50%), 8 boards and a steal

Apparently Jones can be claimed very easily off waivers by any team because he's on a vet minimum contract this year. So he might not even last until the Warriors have a chance at him because the team with the best record is last in line.

MCW won't get cut but he is ass. Non-shooting wing with awful court vision who persists in the irrational belief of him being a point guard with a passable jump shot. MCW needs to plant his ass in the post and learn how to pass out of there and stop trying to be a pick and roll guard.

Warriorfan · Post #132 » by **Warriorfan** » Thu Feb 23, 2017 11:53 pm

I wonder what wing the Warriors will try to add.

Sullinger and Scott to be waived by suns. I hope we pick up someone, lots of guys being waived.

Sullinger is very talented but he always seems to be out of shape. Scott is a pretty good athlete...other than that I haven't watched much of him to really know his game.

Casspi was waived after breaking his thumb.... and due to the Cousins trade, New Orleans needed guards, so Casspi was the casualty.

I think he's out about 4 weeks, but might consider him anyway. He's a smart player and good shooter who I think would slide into our system perfectly.

I'd also be interested in Jones, Sanders (if mentally committed), and Bogut (if he wanted to come back, which I doubt).

What we need is guards, which are notably absent from that list.

If Casspi or Jones would come over, I'd probably take either of them over McAdoo, despite McAdoo's recent strong play.

Rumors going around that Calderon is working on a buyout with the Lakers, and if they reach an agreement, Houston and the Warriors would be suitors.

I'm worried about his defensive limitations, but offensively he'd work great.

Weber brings a lot of energy, but I don't think he plays a minute in any important games that are within 20 points, where Calderon could. That would be the call, and I'd be comfortable with it.

Calderon is trash, has been for a while now.

Terrence Jones and Marcus Thornton cleared waivers and are now free agents.
