KILLING TWO NEEDS WITH ONE STONE

Byron Mullens

Not an ideal answer, but with the wise use of the MLE on Livingston, they will have to fill out the roster with free agents who can be had at a bargain.

If they get Mullens, they add a Stretch 4 and a guy who can play both backup PF or C.

7-0
25 y.o. (2/14/89)
37.1% 3FG%

With Bogut and Ezeli's reliability in question, adding another big would be smart. Mullens is a decent long range shooter and will keep the defense honest simply because he is a threat to hit from 3. He's still young and could improve a little more, but he can give you good to great minutes in spurts on occasion.

PG: Curry | Livingston | Nedovic
SG: Thompson
SF: Iguodala | Barnes
PF: Lee | Green | Speights
C: Bogut | Ezeli | Mullens | Kuzmic

 2 mores spots available to bring in a wing. I like these options:

1. Wesley Johnson
2. Xavier Henry
3. James Anderson
4. Kent Bazemore

Should keep the last spot open for an emergency add. Sure I'd love to get Kevin Love, but if that's not happening I think the Warriors will be in great shape with a deep bench with such a variety of skill sets. If Green steps up at PF and is capable of handling starter minutes, trade Lee to get future assets and cap flexibility.

TIMBERWOLVES
IN: E. Ilyasova / H. Barnes / 2014 2nd Rd Pick / 2015 1st Rd Pick / 2019 1st Rd Pick
OUT: K. Love / C. Budinger / A. Shved


BUCKS
IN: D. Lee / C. Budinger / O. Kuzmic / Cash
OUT: E. Ilyasova / O.J. Mayo / 2014 2nd Rd Pick


********************************************************

WARRIORS
PG: Curry / FA / Shved / Nedovic
SG: Thompson / Mayo
SF: Iguodala / Green / FA
PF: Love / Speights / FA
C: Bogut / Ezeli / FA

Warriors get their guy Love, add fire power off the bench in Mayo, and get a serviceable PG in Shved. Shved can play SG at 6'6" and Warriors clearly still need to upgrade Curry's backup PG. They have to bring in Big Man insurance (O'Neal?) and athletes at SF and PF.

TIMBERWOLVES
PG: Rubio / Barea / FA
SG: Martin / Muhammad / FA
SF: Barnes / Brewer / FA
PF: Ilyasova / Mbah A Moute / FA
C: Pekovic / Dieng / Turiaf

Timberwolves dump 2 questionable contracts, get a starting quality PF in Ilyasova, add a good prospect in Barnes, get cap relief, and best of all, 3 draft picks. No Lee. Primed for a tank season while adding their lottery pick and an extra early 2nd rounder in June.

BUCKS
PG: Knight / Wolters / FA
SG: Antetokounmpo / Delfino / FA
SF: Middleton / Budinger / FA
PF: Lee / Henson / Radulijica
C: Sanders / Pachulia / Kuzmic

Bucks are a mess and are in a similar state the old Warriors were in when they first acquired Lee. They are in dire need of leadership from high character guys and Lee is the guy for the job. He's a clear upgrade at PF and will work well playing alongside the strong defense of Sanders. Hopefully, they strike gold in the lottery and are able to draft their star SF in Wiggins. Mayo has been a disappointment and getting rid of his and Ilyasova's salary gives the Bucks a net savings in this deal. They get cash for sending their No. 31 or 36 overall pick to the Timberwolves.

ESPN EXPERTS ROUND ONE PREDICTIONS

Just like last year, no one is picking the Warriors to get past the Clippers. After comparing the rosters and coaching staff, you can't blame them.
