Who's even left now? Warriors have fewer and fewer options every day.

Bol Bol and Christian Wood are both empty calories type of players. Maybe we could find a role for them but they're both a minus defensively (yes, I know Bol blocks some shots).

We just got off Jordan Poole, let's not sign the JP of big men.

One of the podcasters said Wood is average on defense. Not horrible, not good, just average.

But he might be chucking too many 3s.

There’s still good free agents out there

Wood is known for having effort issues on defense, but maybe being in our locker room with Dray would change that. He's athletic and long enough to theoretically fit our style on that end, and he opens up some nice small ball lineups at the 5.

All of that being said, he's also a notorious stat padder on bad teams. There's a lot of skepticism that he can be efficient and productive in a winning situation.

We could do a lot worse for the minimum, but I'd be surprised if he had to resort to that.

The guy averaged 19-9-2 the past 3 seasons

if he was average at defense, he'd be a max contract, not someone we'd be talking about as a minimum contract

He's a bad defender, bad team rebounder and doesnt know how to play winning basketball. Solid fantasy asset though, provided he signs with some team that is trying to pump and dump him

[Dom801e]

Biyombo might not be the best fit, but he would add size and a different look.

One year deal for the minimum. Did we even kick those tires? Or do we have something better in mind?

so basically there's no 7 footer or big man on planet earth that is deemed to be passable enough to be a backup C for the dubs.
one is a bad defender, one can catch a lob but can't shoot, one can shoot but is not a rim protector, that one is a decent rim protector but is not mobile enough to switch on the perimeter, another one is vertical but is a bad team rebounder, I mean. no one is a good fit for one reason or another.
like the rest of the players in the roster are all flawless with no limitations. all are great athletes with high BIQ, high motor, who shoot well, play above avg defense, rebound well, don't turn the ball over and know how to play winning basketball....
if we put every single player a roster under the same magnifying glass the only one deemed to be good enough to see the court woud be steph..... or maybe not even him considering that he's not really athletic and struggles defensively at times.

[tarantism]

I still think Mamadi Diakite is worth a look. He could probably be had on a two way. Sort of like Tari Eason in some ways, does a little of everything. Good hustle. Jack of all trades, master of none type but he's got glue guy potential.

you guys aggressively don't get it

Height does not matter in this system.. what matters is smarts, knowing where to be. And its been that way for a while. We've seen what stupid players can do to this system, be it Poole, be it Oubre, be it Wiseman. They can have a dramatically bad effect on the team by themselves at times. So when people are hand-wringing that the lone FA we've brought in so far is a smart player and capable defender, it's somehow not the weirdest thing because the fans that have lived through the 3 stooges listed above are asking about Christian Wood, Bol Bol, Biyombo and Mo Bamba.. worried that we aren't enough of a destination because of Malik Beasley..

Know who's name I'm not listing? Saric.. because while he does nothing to protect the rim or provide on post defense, he's smart. Flawed, but not in the biggest difference maker on the team, BBIQ. And there are other bigs who are smart that are still out there, but no fans seem interested in them. They're chasing homerun swings on guys that are being constantly shuttled off of teams that are trying to win, and in systems that actually benefit their skillset, unlike here

[marthafokker]

Yep... height doesn't matter. GP2 is already on the team to play backup center.

Our backup C the past two seasons is 6'6.. career SF OPJ, the 2nd backup during the title year, was 6'7. Career SF/PF Bjelica, the guy with a smaller wingspan than Moody, logged C minutes too

All of them were successful because they know how to play the game. Meanwhile we've brought in size options repeatedly, via the draft and free agency, and how many of them have panned out? We need more Damian Jones' or slow euros on losing teams?

The death lineup every year isn't when we go bigger, is it? Warriors fans should be the last people that need this explained

I'm pretty sure at my funeral somebody is going to float the idea of GSW signing Fall.
