Interested if Chris Kaman is interested in signing a vets min to help give the Warriors a solid pick and roll/ screen setting body like Bogut.

In before Chris Bosh is our starting center

I hope Bosh goes out playing on his terms and isn't forced to retire. The blood thinner issue is a big deal and I'm not sure if anyone would clear him to play if he is on them and there is a chance of internal bleeding due to an injury.

How about Josh Smith, to replace McAdoo? I have been adamantly against Smith becoming a Warrior every time his name is mentioned. However, I now see a guy who may realize his time in the NBA maybe over and given him a chance with some limited minutes might resurrect his career. Depending on where Smith's head is, but replacing McAdoo with him might not be such a bad idea after all. We have one of the dumbest guys in the NBA, why not two?

Jarret Jack waived. Is it too late to cut Varejoa?

Mylie10 · Post #66 » by **Mylie10** » Fri Oct 21, 2016 4:27 am

Jack can't even practice yet. I doubt a team touches him until he can prove to be rehabbed

Can we still cut Varejao?

Varejao's contract is guaranteed, but it's small..... it doesn't stop us from cutting him, but we still have to pay him (and his contract would count against the salary cap, which is no big deal since we are well under the luxury tax line, which is when things get more delicate).

I love me some Jarret Jack...But we don't need him now. We're covered with Livingston, McCaw, and Clark.

Plus Jack was good for us when we needed someone to handle the ball with the 2nd unit -- we now have Curry or Durant the whole game to handle the ball/be the focus (mixed with Sean).

I wonder how Jack can help now if he cannot even suit up.

HellaNoooooooooooo! Two wrongs do not make a right. Problem with Smith besides his head is that he needs the ball in his hands just to remain engaged. This would be a disaster.

How about Henry Sims instead?

I'm for trying to upgrade the bench as it's more difficult to fill backup C, i.e. protect the rim, grab rebounds without having to give up too much. Easiest position to fill seems to be backup PG. Other guys who may be available to upgrade the bench are Kevin Martin, Norris Cole, Chase Budinger, Kobe ha ha etc.

I have to admit Kobe Bryant for the minimum would be intriguing. He could play 15 mins/game taking over Ian Clark's position. Second unit would be Shaun, Kobe, Iguodala, JaVale, and McCaw/West.

Didn't Smith just recently shoot like 18 3s in a game overseas? LOL. Don't want.

Genuinely feel for the guy. If he could play, the Heat would let him, but life > basketball. And even though he's desperate to play, I understand the Heat's call. Such a shame, incredible talent. Still had an amazing career but it's 99.9% likely over.

Interesting that you think Josh Smith is too much of a ball hog, but are advocating for Kobe.

Um, sure.

Kuya · Post #77 » by **Kuya** » Wed Nov 23, 2016 4:56 am

Kobe isn't coming back lol. He may come out of retirement one day like Mike, but not this season.

Kobe's not a ball hog if he's scoring and he provides the power post up game which the Warriors are lacking.

Here's Jared Dudley to show the basics of a post up game for those who do not understand. It takes some skill brah.

Here's the Warriors flex post up. With Kobe and the ball, he would give us a quadruple option, the basic three + the flex.

I'd have to stab my own eyeballs out if I ever saw Kobe on our magnificent jersey
