If Parker would be willing to play in the Bay at a discount, the Warriors need to jump at the chance. Aside from Kevon Looney, Andre Iguodala and occasionally Quinn Cook, the Warriors struggled for bench production and as shown by his year in the capital Parker is capable of adding impetus off the bench.

The Dubs ranked towards the bottom of the league in bench production last season and could be set to experience worse issues with Cook and Looney free agents while Iguodala has been traded to Memphis. Parker could be a much-needed boost.
