123
Rusty Simmons of the San Francisco Chronicle reports that the Golden State Warriors are looking for a big man and may have interest in Portland Trail Blazers center Greg Oden, who will be a restricted free agent this summer... -------------------------- If the Warriors can't find their coveted center upgrade at the trade deadline or in the draft, they would consider injury risks Greg Oden or Yao Ming at a discounted rate in the offseason. "When you're looking at what you can do to get better, you have to consider the possibility of what an injured player today might be able to do when he returns," said general manager Larry Riley, who can't name players under contract with other teams. "A lot has been done down that road, and more will be done." ... "It's not a secret. We have either got to get the players we have to play better in and around the basket, or we have to get somebody else," Riley said. "That's really where we are, so I might as well say it." -------------------------- h/t: HoopsHype -- Ben Golliver | benjamin.golliver@gmail.com | Twitter
