    Kawakami has gone mad. He’s just speaking B.S. Who’s a 7 footer who can score and we can get realistically? Ans- no one

  2. Damn I don’t think anyone thought of that. I think Joel embiid would do the trick right. Why not just get him

  3. For fuck sake. They need a rim protector and a true second option.

  4. ImTheBestNerd

    If you add a couple inches Siakams kinda 7ft tall

  5. Brilliant-Worry-6717

    I think it’s possibly Kelly olynk which honestly doesn’t make sense imo I feel like that’s a similar player to saric

  6. Not 7 foot but the should go get Kevin Love. He’s a guy that can clear up the lane with his outside shooting ability, and alongside Looney could create an effective defensive presence in the paint.
    I’m looking at Nic Claxton too.

    From there you need a better wing. If you can get Siakam, cool. But Lavine would be a good pickup too.

  7. limiting the targets to just 7′ … there aren’t many realistic options

    but here are “bigs” who i think kerr could play at the 4/5 spots in the warriors system who could be available as there names have been thrown around NBA circles as possible trade candidate before next month’s trade deadline who could fit that description of a big man who can score

    vucevic (6’10”) – 16.7 ppg with the bulls

    markkanen (7’0″) – 23.6 ppg with the jazz

    allen (6’9″) – 14.8 ppg with the cavs

    turner (6’11”) – 17.6 ppg with the pacers

    capela (6’10”) – 11.6 ppg with the hawks

    stewart (6’8″) – 10.4 ppg with the pistons

    collins (6’9″) – 14.9 ppg with the jazz

    washington (6’7″) – 13.0 ppg with the hornets

    olyyk (6’11”) – 8.2 ppg with the jazz

    toppin (6’9″) – 11.6 pgg with the pacers

    smith (6’9″) – 10.3 ppg with the pacers

    though the way the jazz and pacers are playing right now … would they even trade players off their rosters

    Why 7 footer

    SA has a 7’4 can go coast to coast and shoot the 3. Let’s get one if those

  9. NickPetey

    Maybe that Kevin Durant guy would be okay on the dubs?

  10. I haven’t seen Olynyk enough to give him much attention, but I read not too long ago about how he would fit well with the Warriors. Good defender, good passer, can score and rebound. Good team player. And he’s playing behind Markkanen, so the Jazz would probably deal him. And apparently he found someone’s dog and tracked down the owner, so that’s a plus for his character.

  11. bigricebag

    Ah yes, let’s go to the NBA store and snag one of them 7ft scoring dudes. There should be plenty!

    “there has been some talk” – yes the gremlins living inside of his rectal cavity are having a conversation.

    weasel words in reporter-speak that mean absolutely nothing.

  13. Stomper8479

    So Myles Turner?

    He’s not seven feet, but I would love Jared Allen

  14. guesswhodat

    Can we persuade Bogut out of retirement? Loved watching that sweet Curry Bogut PnR…

  15. TechnicalSample4678

    Vucevic is doable but he’s older now

  16. All that talk of not needing size and offensive skill from the center position this past offseason to now admitting it lol.

  17. by_yes_i_mean_no

    Sounds like Joe Lacob is trying to GM again. Going after DeAndre Jordan, Dwight Howard, DeMarcus Cousins, and using the #2 pick on James Wiseman.

    What 7 footer who could score did they have two years ago when they won the title? Why can’t they just stick to their formula and know that when it really matters, Draymond is going to be the center? They could use a guy who eats minutes at center like a Zaza to keep Draymond in good shape, but they don’t need more than that.

    Hilarious that we had wiseman and didn’t let him play and now he’s probably what we need most.
