Well, at least he can shoot free throws and could dunk as well as rebound. That's all I can ask from a Center (especially a backup). He'd definitely be the best free throw shooting Center on the team. Probably would match up pretty well with Hawes on the Clips. Definitely built like a tank, which I also like.

I'm quite surprised about his game. Would anyone trade Ognjen Kuzmic for a late 2nd round pick just to sign this guy? I don't think we need to have two inexperienced European bigs on the roster.

Hopefully everybody would trade Kuzmic for any pick. Are you suggesting that's a pre-requisite to doing this? You could just park Kuzmic in the D-League for the year if necessary.

inexperienced?

This guy is 26! He's no kuzmic who came to the nba straight from spanish 2nd league or something like that, lol.

Remember when Nikola Pekovic averaged just 5+3 in his first year and look compleately lost?
Radjulica was one of the top bigs in europe, it takes time to adjust to whole different game/level. Not saying he's anywhere near as good as Pekovic, but this guy's is legit 7ft 250, at worst he'll give 6 fouls to Dwight lol.

Raduljica is playing good basketball in the World Cup

Yup. Better than Nenad Krstic if that means anything.

I dunno if he's gonna be available for minimum tho, he's probably going back to europe where some turkish or spanish team gonna offer him big money but who knows, i'd love to have that guy as our back-up/3rd string center.

[InWestWeTrust]

How long is he on waivers for?

This kid is a tank ... i like that he plays very physical ... I'd take him as our 3rd or back up center

[lars_rosenberg]

He's a little too slow, he could struggle against athletic centers, but overall he is skilled enough and very big. I doubt there are much better FA centers available.

I still think warriors should get Micheal Beasley who at the vet min is low risk high reward.

Guys we might have considered......Anthony Randolph, Blatche, Beasley. All have talent + baggage but they are all more matured now... so...could be more useful. I think they all have taken deals though. Not sure what J O'neal's situation is. Having added Barbosa...Do we even still have the roster spot or any option besides NBA minimum?

I'm not sure what GSW expects from Nedovic. I have yet to see anything that's NBA talent. I doubt we can get anything of any use. We burned our MLE. We COULD have traded TPE for scrubs.. but I think that's expired by now.

Likely.. short of some trade..this is the roster. I felt GSW needed to go with some continuity/stability.. rather than turnover..lateral moves. That seemed to fit the way they did contracts.

Beasley may come cheap (if he's not signed yet) but not minimum..which was likely our only option. Now... we'd likely need to move a guy (Nedovic?) to have the roster room.

Wait, we still have Speights right?

I'd say our team is set then. We're 2-3 deep at every position, don't need another big.

I wanna see Uncle Festus ball a little bit and continue to develop, don't want him stuck behind some has-been.

PG: Curry / Livingston / Barb
SG: Klay / Rush / Barb
SF: Iggy / Dray / Barnes
PF: Lee / Dray / Speights / Barnes
C: Bogut / Ezeli / Speights

Livingston, Barbosa, Rush, Draymond, Barnes, Speights, Ezeli...that's a dees bench folks.

GS has 4 credible post players. Bogut/Lee/Ezeli/Green - and Green can get minutes at SF as well.

Bogut, Ezeli and to a lessor degree Lee all have injury risks. To get through a season GS needs one more quality rotation player and should also have a 6th big who's playable. Speights doesn't count. He's horrible, below replacement level. It's unclear that Kuzmic counts as even a playable 6th big either. GS has acceptable perimeter depth, but their post depth is a major liability.

Come on now, Speights is fine, you're tripping. He's no Duncan, but as a 3rd stringer, he's fine.

[Mylie10]

For 5 minutes a game I could coach Kuzmic to go out there and put a body on someone...grab some rebounds...foul guys....and occasionally block a shot....and Speights is better than that.

While I agree that we could use a solid vet big, I don't think we're in big trouble right now.

Throughout his career, team have reliably gotten far, far worse with Speights on the floor. He's only useful if you're trying to out-tank Philly. Yet given the health of the guys in front of him he'll play backup minutes for GS.

[turk3d]

I'd be interested only if the guy we pick up is a bonafide Center with substantial size (i.e. Radjica). I really don't like Speights at Center too much, But with him, Lee, Dray and possibly Barnes (with Speights being the bruiser type) I think that we're deep enough. However, with Bogut and Ezeli's injury concerns, I'd like to have a back Center playing behind them. As far as stretch 4, what about a "shrink 4", lol?

[ChuckDurn]

Udoh and Stiemsma now gone..... camp invites given to McAdoo and Watt - not sure why, if there's guaranteed money that will eventually count against the hard cap.

Hoping we do make a move to get another legit back-up center. Top options for me are Ayon, Raduljica, or Brand. Noting that Ayon is scoring 16 points on 62% shooting, and pulling down 7.5 rebounds per game in the World Cup. He's foul-prone, but if he's vying for second or third-string center, that's not that much of a concern.

[Chris Porter's Hair]

I liked the idea of Ayon a lot, but I thought he was still recovering from an injury. Hadn't noticed he was playing (and seemingly playing well) in the World Cup; if that is the case, he'd be high on my list.
