Biedrins and Ellis represent the heftiest contracts remaining on the Warriors' books since they got rid of Corey Maggette's albatross of a contact Tuesday. Riley, however, reiterated that he hasn't been given a directive to cut costs by selling owner Chris Cohan. "We're not looking to shop most of our players, but we've got to look around," Riley said. "We will do that diligently, and we will not accept trades for the sake of trades. ... "We have two more contracts of a sizable nature. If I can't get something of value that relates to what we're doing, then I'm not having a fire sale." San Francisco Chronicle

Another team source said the Warriors could strike early in the free agency period, which begins Wednesday at 9 p.m., but any such deal would be small. The hope is that a free agent the Warriors like will take the "bird in hand" approach and sign with the Warriors, preferring not to wait until the likes of LeBron James and Chris Bosh have set the market. But chances are such a player wouldn't be one expected to make a big splash. San Jose Mercury-News
boozer is a bum that quits on teams. he double crossed lebron and left for more money. he's also injury prone. not worth it.
iggy is a 3rd option at best. his offense is raw, hes mostly a dunker. he stopped improving when he got a decent contract.
granger would be nice but they aint givin him up.
all we need is for the team to sell as quickly as possible. the new owner will make whatever moves possible to improve the team.

boozer didnt even get a lot of time in the olympics when his own college coach was the head coach.
if that K-Mart trade goes thru we will be set up next year for Carmelo, pending Carmelo doesnt work out an extension and hits the market.
and if that does happen, the team will have cap room to take on a player contract in a trade.

Boozer dosent have a heart? Since when did this happen?...He showed tons of heart in this years playoffs......
Than you talk about a Kenyon Martin and Carmelo deal...But they cant win in Denver together...What makes you think things will change here? Then you mention Boozer is injury prone...But Kenyon Martin isnt?
Kenyon Martin has no jump shot....Boozer can do everything better than martin and has a 15 ft Jumper to go with it.....

i didnt say go sign kmart as a free agent, or that he was the answer if that trade goes thru. its a cap move. and its a offer on the table from current management.
kmart does have some shot tho, if u watched warriors games u'd kno that kmart kills us almost every game and dropped 30 on us last year.
i only brought his name up because its a deal in the works, hes not on my wish list. i'd rather that jefferson deal get worked out they were talking over. if jefferson can stay healthy, hes better than bosh or amare.

If i watched Warriors games? C'mon baysick....Who cant kill a team that dosent play defense? And we didnt have anyone physical enough last year to play with a K mart...Except maybe Turriaf.....
Martin is a good player...But nowhere near the player Boozer is IMO.....Boozer can hit that jumper from up above the key with ease...K mart dosent got it like that....

the lack of size has always been the Warriors problem on the defensive end. I always like to point back to that Jazz series in 2007 where they killed us on the boards and scored way to many points inside the paint. If the Warriors actually had good management they would have actually recognized the weaknesses and done something about it. Btw Boozers not the answer, neither is Kmart we need a bigger center and as of right now i dont see that happening before the season starts
boozer can be a great player, if he wants to be and tries. he is still weak on de tho, inury prone, has attitude/heart question/problems, and isnt worth the money it would take to get him.
if u look around the league of power forwards, he might not be top 10. def isnt top 5.
i'm not saying kmart is better than boozer. kmart is a cap move that sets us up better. personally id rather keep biedrins, but the kmart deal is decent because of the money it clears.
at this point, i'm just hoping we dont do anything retarded until the team is sold. we might be able to get lucky on a deal, the team has been a little stingy over the last year at least.
but the entire league knows how stupid our front office is so they usually try to rip us off extra much, then consider backing down to a slightly less insulting offer which looks better to our idiots.
