7 free agent targets for Golden State Warriors with ties to Chris Paul

Free Agent No. 6: Darius Bazley, Big

Darius Bazley was traded from the Oklahoma City Thunder to the Phoenix Suns at last season’s NBA Trade Deadline. That reunited him with Chris Paul, who had also been on the Thunder at the start of Bazley’s career.

The Suns didn’t extend Bazley a qualifying offer, which makes him an unrestricted free agent and free to sign anywhere. He is an intriguing athlete who hasn’t added the requisite skill in four seasons. The Warriors could “buy low” on a player with potential to see if they can unlock him.

Free Agent No. 5: Jeff Green, Big

Another Denver Nuggets bench big hits our list, this time ultimate NBA journeyman Jeff Green. He and Chris Paul crossed paths in Los Angeles, where Green finished out the 2015-16 season with the LA Clippers.

Amazingly, despite the fact that he is about to turn 37-years-old, Green played a vital role on a title winner this past season in Denver. He still has plenty left in the tank, as either a switch big or floor spacer. He would be a more versatile version of JaMychal Green for Golden State.
