Stop with the short people! Big people. More big people. Hmmm, I don't know enough about whether Turner can keep up, but a great defensive center would bring back a team that looked like the 2015 squad with Bogut. Wiggins is an upgrade on Harrison Barnes, and will look even better if the team can get some practice time with him. A big body, please.
No to Rozier and Harris. Turner and Gordon would be fine for less but, like others have indicated, I just don’t see the Warriors putting up big money for big bodies. The dubs’ style of play requires speed and the ability to defend the perimeter. Draymond is our crunch time center and Kerr specifically noted the trend in the NBA toward smaller centers. Does anyone think Cousins would have been signed for much more last year? Signing a big on the mid level or vet min should work for a big body to absorb blows down low for enough minutes per game to keep Draymond fresh. The best big we could hope for is Gasol on mid level. (a dream) But exception level money should go for someone who can play three positions, plus defend each, pass intelligently, and has at least average scoring abilities. Relative youth (<28) is probably also a criterion.
Aaron Gordon. Orlando has never known what to do with him - pretty sure the Dubs already know. Adding 2 dynamic young players to the mix - Gordon & Wiggins - would sure be fun to see.
Aaron Gordon. He is a perfect target for the Warriors as he is so versatile, defensive minded, and fills a need for the future. I'd give up Paschall in a heartbeat to get him. As much as I like Turner, I don't see the Warriors paying for a big. I think they either pick up one in the draft or pay low for a FA. Warriors have never committed to a big man, even Bogut.
Aaron Gordon w/ the slight edge on Turner cause he can guard the best players on the best teams -- PG, Kawhi, Lebron, AD -- right now all we have on these guys is Wiggins and Draymond... seems pretty thin to me.
Turner would be great but you would probably have to give up at least Paschall and a 1st round pick. Still not convinced the Warriors are going to go into the luxury tax for an upgrade though.
I've been a Myles Turner fan for a while. Back when Harrison Barnes turned down the Warriors' extension offer, I thought he would get traded, and Turner was my target. He's not as good as I hoped he would be, but he's one of the better centers in the game, and his skills would fill a couple needs on the Warriors (Shooting big man, interior defense).
Turner or Gordon would be great. Turner as a stretch big, next to Draymond is maybe the best attainable fit in the league other than Smart. Just a very good, young player who's shooting at the 5 spot solves the major problem we have with Draymond. The two of them would set up a pretty imposing back line of defense.
I really love Aaron Gordon and still think he's got untapped potential. Make him a 4 , put great shooting around him and you've got a versatile high level defender with athleticism and skill on O that can be great in the space and passing system the Warriors have. I'd think his acquisition might push Draymond to he bench a la Iguodala. Then you have a new-wave, super athletic lineup of death with Steph, Klay, Wiggins, Gordon and Dray. Problem is that Gordon, like Paschall is way better as a 4, but can fake it as a 3. It just crowds the spot...so as much as I've liked him, I'd kind of like to give Paschall that space to grow.
Harris - I'd think the Nuggets might want to keep him and rebuild his value. Either to be their starting SG and a nice fit for them, or as a valuable player at a worthwhile salary to go big game hunting. If they decide to just get off his salary, and he comes cheap it might be worth it.

Pass on all.

Rozier - nah.
