3 big men the Golden State Warriors should sign right now
If you watched the Boston Celtics game, one thing was obvious — the Golden State Warriors desperately need more size in their frontcourt.
The Golden State Warriors are without James Wiseman for a few weeks and potentially Kevon Looney as well. They need help in their frontcourt, and there are players on the market that could bring it.
With Kevon Looney out, the Warriors will be without even a playable center on the roster, and that could be a huge problem in the short-term future.
They had three centers to start the season, and while Covid-19 hasn’t downed them, injuries have crippled this team’s frontcourt, and the coronavirus protocols will certainly not help the Warriors add more talent.
Looked like Kevon Looney, the team's lone healthy center, rolled his left ankle pretty good. Even if Warriors were to sign a free agent center, they'd need to pass six straight days of negative tests before being cleared. This is going to be an extended run of small-ball.

The Warriors will make it work for now, and they’ll likely have Juan Toscano-Anderson play a large role as he’s a more versatile forward that can rebound as well. While that may be how it has to be, it’s not necessarily ideal.
Golden State could go to the free-agent market, despite not having any interest in adding a center immediately according to Slater. Eventually, they’ll need some help in their frontcourt. That said, let’s dive into three free-agent targets they could bring in.
