Golden State isn't expected to make a qualifying offer to PF Anthony Tolliver.
This move serves a few purposes -- it saves the Warriors' 15th roster spot and clears more minutes for Anthony Randolph and Brandan Wright. It may also be a message to coach Don Nelson, who loved Tolliver last season and allowed him to play over 32 minutes per game.
The Warriors will not extend a qualifying offer to center Chris Hunter, making him an unrestricted FA.
The pool of FA big men in shallow enough that Hunter, a rugged 6'11" PF/C, should find an NBA bench to keep warm.
Warriors GM Larry Riley said his team will exend qualifying offers to guards Anthony Morrow and C.J. Watson.
This move gives Golden State the ability to match any offers for their restricted FAs, who will likely be asked to earn their minutes off the bench.
