The News

Ex-Warrior, Stephen-Curry-buddy, defensive energy wing who can hit some 3s, all-time bench celebrator Kent Bazemore will be returning to GSW this year for what appears to be a one-year veteran’s minimum.

Bazemore returns to the Warriors, where he will play a major wing role on a contending team. The 8-year veteran fielded several offers before deciding on Golden State.

I am guessing Baze probably wasn’t offered much minimum and he went with the comfortable situation with GSW and Stephen Curry...? Or else he left a lot of money on the table.

Bazemore took a huge pay cut to rejoin @StephenCurry30. Kent made $19M last season. https://t.co/C3Uz63OPRX

Drew Shiller has been predicting this for a while:

From August 10th: “Kent Bazemore returning to the Warriors this offseason makes too much sense.”
Why Kent Bazemore signing with Warriors in free agency makes senseKent Bazemore returning to the Warriors this offseason makes too much sense. Well, there is one main caveat, however: A reunion almost assuredly only can happen if Bazemore accepts the veteran minimum, which should be worth around $2 million.nbcsports.com

ICYMI, Kent Bazemore celebrated a birthday recently and we also discovered he was the subject of our very first locker room video way back on 5/10/2013 #Roaracle Here he is talking about the 4 rookies back then: himself, Draymond, Barnes and @festus: https://t.co/YRNqO22HFb https://t.co/whUliEPLrX

Highlights from his GSW days:

What’s Next?

Important to note, the Baze signing takes the Warriors up to 17 players. 16 if we exclude Mannion who will most likely fill a two-way spot. This means most likely either JTA or Mulder will have to be waived ahead of the season, during the league cut-down day.

Current Depth Chart

  • Curry / Wanamaker / Mannion&Poole

  • Oubre / Lee / Poole&Mulder

  • Wiggins / Bazemore / Mulder

  • Draymond / Paschall / Looney

  • Chriss / Wiseman / Smiley

Looks likely Mannion and Toscano-Anderson will have to be on two-ways. I don’t know how firm Smiley’s spot is, but I assume he’ll be inactive if we get a vet center.

Reports are GSW are still trying for a veteran center, with Marc Gasol rumored. But LAL is also interested in Gasol and that looks like a surer bet for ring chasing.

Not saying he is the second coming, but..... Steph and Nico have the same birthdays. Red Curry confirmed.

really good article:

https://www.theringer.com/nba/2020/11/23/21591295/golden-state-warriors-klay-thompson-injury-james-wiseman

I'll write this up for tomorrow, but some really good quotes in there, all centering on the discussion of how the Warriors can reload to get to the upper echelon again, and what that could look like in the near term
