But he would be a great backup PG on the Warriors.

or find someone from the d-league. dont really like the names you put out other than steve blake, the consummate pro.

Free Agents: Boykins can’t play defense to save his life and Williams just isn’t ready to go. Payton has all the intangibles and would be a great story, but his shooting as fallen off dramatically and he’s barely the defender he once was. Could he put it together for just 5 or 10 high energy minutes a night? Would he even want to? I haven’t seen Lucas play enough to make much of an assessment. Whatever happened to Pierre Pierce? Are there any unaffiliated D-Leaguers that shined, like Andre Barrett or R. Benson? I know some people are high on Dee Brown but I’ve never been much of a fan.

Trade Bait: Arroyo is a bit of a head case but he’s a hell of a player. Lue also works but a definite drop off from Arroyo. I’d pass on Robinson and Blake. Jannero Pargo is intriguing, but I doubt the Hornets would trade with us. I also like Jarrett Jack, he plays hard nosed ball, but he’s enough of a shooter and I don’t see Portland trading with us.

10 Foot Poles: Smush is the definition on an attitude problem. Apologies to EJ but here’s a guy that picked up Kobe’s “I’m better than everyone else” attitude…but often isn’t even the best point guard on his own team. Hell no. I’d throw Nate Robinson in this category as well. Miller is way too costly. So costly he’d make it too hard to resign Monta. So you’d be choosing Miller over Monta. Sorry, can’t do it. Duhon. Can’t shoot. Enough said.

First Choice Arroyo, Second choice….er….

As it is, until Hudson officially retires, the Warriors waive him or someone else, or a trade is made that opens a roster spot; there isn’t any availability for another player on the Warriors.

My bet is Mullin does nothing (two weeks?) while they see if Belinelli can handle the 5-10 minutes as well as Hudson getting that second opinion and deciding exactly what he wants to do with his career/injury. Then, as usual, Mullin is going to make a move that none of us even came close to guessing. That’s been Mullin’s MO the last few years. Nellie was out of the blue, the Dunmurphy trade came out of no where, the Richardson trade was unexpected. Sure, we knew they had to trade JRich for salary reasons and some suspected that Higgins taking the GM position with the Bobcats made them a logical partner but it was far from being an expected move. My point, when it happens we’ll all be thinking, why didn’t I think of that.
