While the imminent concern is Game 3, the future concern for the Golden State Warriors is adding a quality center. The Warriors lost Game 2 106-101, and it seems like they’re struggling to find a lineup they prefer down the stretch.
The “Fast Five” was a unit with Andrew Wiggins as the tallest player, and it was destroyed in Game 3 as no rim protection left Grizzlies superstar Ja Morant driving to the bucket and oftentimes converting near the rim.
The Golden State Warriors have a size problem, and everyone knows it. Here are some low-budget free-agent options for them to look into this offseason.
The other concerning factor is that, when the Warriors look to figure out this issue in the offseason, they’re going to have little money to do so.
With four max contracts along with third-year guard Jordan Poole’s extension on the horizon, it may not be easy for Golden State to add a player that may command more than a veteran’s minimum.
