Just wondering who our bench is going to be? So far Tucker,EG, Nene, isiah taylor, chinanu? Zhou qi? uhmm... seriously... the warriors not only have a good starting line up but they have some depth too... what is our second unit going to be? They have igoudala, nick young , livingston... i hope isiah taylor is not our only option as back up pg.
Capela, NeNe Melo, Qi, whoever Ariza, Tucker Beard, Gordon Paul, Gordon I think you'll see some bandwagon guys hop on soon after Melo joins. Rondo, Rose, Deron Williams, Aaron Afflalo, ty Lawson, Brandon Jennings, Tyler Zeller, Splitter, Hibbert, Dedmon etc. Bunch of value still out there. Get some defense and three point shooters Add that to that line up and we should be competitive with GS, just need to gel and Melo/Beard need to put a lot of effort on defense, they can be good if they want
It is very hard to say exactly until the roster is finalized further into free agency. At that point it should fairly easy
The bench has a solid big man: Nene instant offense: Gordon instant perimeter defense: Tucker You only named 3 off the Warrior's bench. You have 3 solid backups on the Rockets bench too.
That and a solid PG, Paul and Melo aren't young, would like to rest them during the season, kinda like Pop does in SA. It works really well. I like your thinking on type of PF we need, long defender that can shoot. Who would be y'alls bandwagon PG you'd want to join the dream team?
Whoever is out there, they're going to get good looks because either Harden or Paul will be on the floor at all times. Im not worried about our bench at all!
I wouldn't worry too much about our bench. We will take care of the bench once Melo deal finalizes (or falls apart).
Need to sign Javalee McGee or Dedmon as the back up Center bcuz Nene won't be able to play every game. Also need back up Point Guard just in case of an injury
Would love to add Dante Cunningham or Ersan Ilyasova to back up Melo at the PF. The backup PG is Harden as he will play the PG when Paul sits, and Paul will backup Harden when Harden sits.
Any news on Chinanu? Haven't seen much of him recently. It looks like the guy has a lot of fire and has the size to be an enforcer.
we have a solid 8 man rotation when all 8 are healthy. if we trade ryno+NG bros for melo then that 8 is probably good enough to take the warriors to 5 or 6 games. depth will be a key since nene, ryno (if hes still here), ego, and paul have all been injury prone. we need a backup PG for when paul misses games. if you think james will just start at PG, then who's backing him up when paul is out? we need bepth there. same for center behind nene. i think after the melo trade i'd try to land some of these guys for the vet min. most are unlikely but you never know who wants to join a super team. we might get lucky: CENTER : pau, dedmon, baynes, mcgee, bogut, reed, udoh, hibbert, tarik, thomas robinson, joel anthony STRETCH 4: speights, jerebko, beesley, tolliver, scola, jan vesely WING: miles, allen, sefalosha, vince, aflalo, james jones (lebron recruiter) PG: dwill, jennings, sergio rodriguez, stuckey, mack, udrih
