The Warriors have four restricted free agents and two restricted free agents heading into this summer. All four of the restricted free agents are likely going to get offers from other teams and I think the Warriors would be smart to match most if not all of them as they all contributed to the team last year. Anthony Morrow is going to be the player that would cost the Warriors the most money to bring back but he’s definitely worth it as he is a good fit in Don Nelson’s offense. Backup point guard C.J. Watson always plays well when he is on the court but with point guard being a weak free agent position he may get a offer they won’t match. F/C’s Anthony Tolliver and Chris Hunter both really got their first chances to show what they could do last season and they both looked solid. The Warriors will want to bring at least Tolliver back but they like Hunter as well. Devean George will likely leave but the Warriors won’t likely miss him too much. Vladimir Radmanovic has a early termination option but I don’t think he will take it as he didn’t show much last year.

24-year old center Andris Biedrins is a legit center at 6′11″, 240 pounds and he brings the toughness the Warriors really lacked last season under the basket. Last season was a waste for him due to injuries and he also got into Don Nelson’s Dog House which is a bad combo for any player. Biedrins played in only 33 games (29 starts) for the Warriors last season and he averaged 23.1 minutes, 5.0 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.3 blocked shots per game. The Warriors need a healthy and focused Biedrins if they are going to improve in 2010-11. He has played in 351 games (212 starts) in his career with the Warriors (6 years) in which he has averaged 24.1 minutes, 8.1 points, 8.2 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.3 blocked shots per game. The Warriors could look to trade Biedrins over the summer but I think the smarter way to go is to just start him because they need his rebounding and defense.

26-year old SG/SF Kelenna Azubuike has picked up his player option for the 2010-2011 season worth $3.3 million bucks. He will be worth that money if he is healthy as he is recovering from knee surgery that ruined his 2009-2010 season. Azubuike played in 9 games (7 starts) for the Warriors last season and he averaged 25.7 minutes, 13.9 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game. He has now played in 205 games (83 starts) in his career with the Warriors and he is averaging 24.4 minutes, 10.6 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game. Auzbuike made a smart business decision as he wasn’t going to get that kind of money on the open market.
