^he only played like 5 min/game with dallas...and they didnt necessarily cut him because of bad play or anything, it was becasue he tore his acl
i think he could give the warriors a nice little boost. he's not gonna be a game changer obviously but nelson will probably throw him out there for a few minutes to give biedrins a rest and get a couple points, rebounds, and some solid defense from him. at worst he'll be a cheaper version of adonal foyle
