11/20 FREE AGENCY begins at 3:00 PDT

[SMTBSI]

Half your fanbase will hate Wanamaker because his fundamental limitations are very clear.

The other half will recognize that he's a capable end-of-rotation guy on a dirt cheap contract, who will show up every day and work, be a great teammate, never complain about his role, and be able to credibly cover a larger role for a bit here and there when you have injuries.

Will hit his free throws at 90%, knock down wide open threes, and drive head first into 4 defenders on the fast break more than you'd like.

Though he also has an uncanny knack for breaking up three-on-one breaks more than he has any right to.

Veteran, mature player who can hit an open shot and is chunky enough to guard most 2s. Works for me.

[whatisacenter]

I liked Wanamaker as soon as I heard he was available. Every Boston game I watched I liked what I saw from him.

[Hopper15]

Celtics snag Tristan Thompson..great get IMO

Multi-year full MLE trumps again.

[marthafokker]

I rather have a guy like Aron Baynes

[AdonalFoyle4Prez]

.................

Should have just kept Bowman instead? Poole should get some minutes as backup PG.

[Hopper15]

Still leaves near $3.5M of the MLE. It might be wise to keep that for someone on the buyout market to trump any vet minimum offers.

[-bob-]

2.25M for another guy and then use the rest for Mannion?

[thierry]

To me, Baynes is as good as it gets as a rotational role player backup C. Would be hyped if we got him. Same time, I like our front court.

Draymond/Wiseman
Paschall/Looney/Chriss

Minutes seem crowded to me already, I’m more concerned about our guards/wings outside of Curry, Oubre & Wiggins. I guess Wanamaker addresses the PG position a little bit, but we need someone more capable of making plays for others.

So Warriors have part of the MLE left 3.45m and the DPE 9 3m once approved.

Other than that it's vet minimum.

Not many roster spots to fill. So that should be fine.

[Albo]

Why can't they sign Mannion to the league minimum? Is it because can't sign him to a multi year deal this way?

How did we sign the 2nd round pick contracts last year?

[Phase 3]

Warriors taking an L in free agency so far.

It took Brad Freakin' Wanamaker to get you out of hibernation.

Mannion is going to need a great camp IMO to get a regular roster spot. That third year team option from the MLE is nice to have though.

[Albo]

They don't have the tools and without Klay they are not a strong contender to win it all. They will be a low seed playoffs team.

[marthafokker]

If we got Baynes with DPE (I rather have Ibaka for this examy), Kerr could play twin towers for a few minutes when Curry is on the bench. Because Baynes has that 3 point stroke, he stretches the floor for Wiseman to create inside.

Screw the D on this, as it is against opponent's backup. Maybe Wiseman can do okay on the switch. I don't mine Dray be the point SF in this lineup.

[Albo]

We shouldnt be too mad. Wanamaker got alot of minutes of a playoff team in the East finals. He can play and won't be just a bench warmer

Mannion's a two-way or should be. Can still play in up to 50 games.

Being hamstrung by a tax MLE and a being a non-ring chasing destination is a beotch.

[marthafokker]

Sounds like Poole will get 15 minutes as backup PG now. Hope Kerr is right about Poole. He looks different at the end of season. And continued to look like it last month in that scrimmage game.

I want that battleship like Baynes as the DPE (or even Ibaka).
