Warriors Have No Plans To Add A Center 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Mon Jan 24, 2022 1:44 pm

Despite Draymond Green's absence, the Golden State Warriors have no plans to add a center before the trade deadline. The Warriors are prioritizing internal players who know their offensive and defensive systems over adding outside help.


While Green is out with a disc issue in his back, which is causing him leg pain, Golden State is getting by with various other reserves. James Wiseman still isn't ready to play but, at some point, he may factor into the mix as well.


The Warriors have been linked to veterans Marc Gasol, should he decide to make a return to the NBA, and Paul Millsap, who will be moving on from the Brooklyn Nets. But Golden State doesn't have an open roster spot and doesn't appear likely to waive a player to create one either.

GPII is the Warriors' reserve center.

With Porter and Kuminga on the board, they do not need Millsap.

On the other hand, Marc Gasol could play Andrew Bogut role. :thumbsup:

Can we entice you in adding a power forward?

Warriors can have Nerlens Noel for an expiring. He has 2 years left on his contract after this but the last year is a team option. Noel is an excellent defender and can run the floor. He can block shots and does well with team defense. Roberto Duran hands is his main negative.
