i wanna hunnid and fitty thousand!
Bogut and Ezeli were great rollers. Having those two players fill in the C position, setting great picks, effectively rolling to the basket for 48 minutes a game freed up a lot of movement and shots on the weakside.

Now they have Zaza and West popping out for a mid-range jumpers, weakside D can stay at home.
Rollers has nothing to do with it...

Golden State need two big men who can rebound and defend the rim...and Draymond Green is NOT a candidate to be this person due to what he will need to do on offensive...

David West is not this person...he is not tall enough, or athletic enough, or physical enough, or imposing enough

Zaza Pachuilia is not this person...he is not athletic enough, or imposing enough, and honestly the way he ended with the mavericks he might not even be physical enough anymore...

Javele Magee has the physical makeup of this person...Jonathan SImmons attacking him right at the rim should be a signal that he is NOT this person...when a second year backup player sees you standing under the rim and doesn't think twice about dropping lucille on your scalp then the kawhi leonards and james hardens and 5678's of the world aren't going to give two fukks about ramming it down Javele throat :chattyguurrrlll:

The big guy the warriors need is not o their team at the moment...probably won't be on their team at all this year...and depending on if steph and durant both want the max next year might NEVER be on their team while klay durant steph and draymond are together...

Them not winning a chip will change this though because one of those 4 will be gone if they don't...
We have a big that can do both...he's recovering from injury
