The Regime Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Warriors general manager Larry Riley expects the club to be busy over the next month or so as the NBA's trade deadline approaches. "Is a little something good enough? I can tell you right now: No it isn't," Riley said. "We're not looking to do something minor. "It might take trading somebody that we would rather not trade, but we need another player of substance." Riley told the San Francisco Chroncile that Golden State needs to add another player at the level of stars Monta Ellis and Corey Maggette. http://realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/64209/20100122/riley_hints_warriors_will_swing_major_deal/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Maggette for Gay. Or maybe Brandan Wright, CJ Watson, and Devean George for Rudy Gay. Memphis gets expiring contracts and a player that could be very good in this league for a talented player the Warriors need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 The Dubs have been rumored to be after Bosh, Amare and Boozer but I can't see any of those teams really liking what GS has to offer. Golden State could add Randolph or Biedrins to a deal, Morrow, possibly Maggette but he's been playing really well of late. The Warriors are one of the few teams that can offer over 10M in expiring contracts, so they can give payroll/tax relief and cap room in exchange for talent. Question is if Utah would essentially liquidate Boozer like that, maybe so given their payroll relative to record. Rudy Gay doesn't address the primary need. The Warriors have to add a post scorer that can board but still run the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we trade Biedrins in a deal for Amare, Stoudemire will have to play center which is something he does not want to do. I heard he also doesn't want to play here. As for Bosh, I doubt he would re-sign with us after the season, so why risk trading for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Thinking about it, if we get Rudy Gay, this lineup looks promising for the future: CurryEllisGayRandolphBiedrins With Morrow as the 6th man. And whoever we could get in the lottery this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dash Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 I have a gut feeling that it might be Anthony Randolph on his way out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 (edited) Legacy - Agreed on Boozer. While he can board and shoot he's not that mobile and nothing defensively. On Amare, he fits what they want to do offensively and would put up sick stats, which he wants. But he also wants to play for a contender and the Dubs have no prayer of that. However, if the Warriors were willing to max him out in an extend and trade deal maybe he considers it. Bosh yeah no point, but GS keeps pursuing him anyway. Rudy Gay is a nice player and all but how is another wing going to help this team? They need a post scorer that can board, swat and run the floor or they go absolutely nowhere. Randolph would need years to bulk up and he's a midrange face up player anyway. Wright can't stay healthy and has no post game. Bierdrins has very limited offensive skills. They need a real 4. Desperately. Gay is switching chairs on the Titanic. They get a better chair but they still sink. The guy they should pursue imo is Blatche. When he gets minutes he produces. Good athlete young boards well can swat, score and run the floor. Edited January 23, 2010 by Sky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
