Let's list teams here with a front court logjam - since we have a lot of backcourt players those would make for good trade partners.

My pick would be Milwaukee Bucks.
They have 4 centers: Monroe, Henson, Pachulia, Plumlee
and 3 PFs: Antetokounmpo, Parker, O'Bryant

Therefore, a deal could be made with them (Bradley + bad pick for Henson or turner for plum lee, etc.)

Do you see any teams in the league with front court logjam (exclude 76ers, Embiid is injured, and they have no idea who they have in Okafor)?

Here's what I'd add:

Chicago with Taj Gibson.
Minnesota with Anthony Bennett or Nik Pekovic.
Washington with Nene.
We're the ones we've been waiting for.

Honestly, I can't think of any teams that have a particular need for Bradley, Turner, or either of our no-defense power forwards at this point.  None that have anything to give us, anyway.

We don't need another pure big like Taj Gibson.  We need some wings / swings with size and shooting.  Ideally a wing that has some ball-handling ability who can shoot well from outside and play solid defense.  Good luck finding one.  That's why  Danny was willing to go all-out to get Winslow.

I think our biggest need is a 3 who can score rather than another big.  Tobias Harris...

The  Greek freak and Parker can play SF
The whole core of their team is very versatile and long
Which will make them a great team to watch in the future
so I don't see them trading their front court except probably Pachulia or Henson

But minny is probably more willing to trade away pekovic
Considering that they have dieng and towns that fit better in with their athletic core

Bulls may consider trading Gibson depending on what they do with mirotic

Sure Minny would trade Pek but who would take on his contract.  I'd make them give me a couple 1sts to do it.

What? The young players have no value to teams?

1. Wallace and Zeller and Pick to Denver for Galo.

They could use a center, Galo is gonna be a free agent, maybe they go for it.


2.  Trade Bradley/Turner for David Lee or Roy Hibbert. 

Try to get a pick out of the deal. One of these teams would jump on this salary dump.


Thomas. Rozier. Pressey
Smart. Hunter. (Sign John Jenkins?)
Galo. Crowder. Young
Sullinger. Olynyk. Jerebko
Amir.  (Lee or Hibbert). Mickey


Galo could bring scoring that we need. I guess it depends on how much Danny really values Bradley.

So we give them our center?   We are not exactly center rich!

According to GS Warriors site, Boston is the most logical destination for David Lee, in a straight up trade for Gerald Wallace.

I doubt we do it, though, because it would hurt our salary cap flexibility and not sure there is a need there in any event. Would be an upgrade, though.

I take David Lee in a heartbeat.

Lee at PF and Amir at C.

I agree and disagree.

I agree we need wings with length and shooting, no doubt.

But I disagree that we don't need another pure big. We certainly do.

My prediction: If we ever got Taj Gibson, Boston fans would love him!

He's tough, gritty, strong defender and good rebounder.

I wish we could get him.

I don't know if Chicago would deal him.

But Taj and Amir together would be great. Two very tough defenders down low (only issue is they're both 6'9.) Then Zeller can be our back-up.

Great deal for Boston.  It only results in about $5 million in savings for GSW.  Are they paying the luxury tax?

Washington with Nene.

I'd stay far away from Pekovic.

If it wasn't for his injuries, I'd take him, but man that guy is literally ALWAYS banged up.
