 They arnt getting Durant. But I did hear they want Dirk. That could be interesting..

 No way Dirk is leaving Dallas.

I can’t imagine they’ll change their bench much. They’ll bring back Barbosa, Speights, and McAdoo for sure. Avoid Ezeli at all costs and I imagine they’ll match any offer for Barnes. 

As bad as Barnes has been playing I think his most attractive trait as a free agent is that he is still very young. He’d be a movable asset 3 years from now.

 Noah is actually a pretty good passer for a big, when Bogut went down they really missed his interior passing. I would like it if Noah went there. I would take Chandler Parsons over Harrison Barnes to be honest.

 Parsons would be a much better fit than Barnes. Parsons is a much better passer and a better shooter. He can initiate the offense if need be, which would make Curry and Thompson that much more dangerous because you’d have very good passing forwards. 

Barnes might be a better defender, but he’s not that much better and Thompson, Iggy, Green and Livingston seem to draw the tough matchups more than Barnes anyways so I think they’d be more than capable of filling that gap on the defensive end. 

I hadn’t thought about it until about three minutes ago but yeah the Warriors should definitly pursue Chandler Parsons. If the money is even close, I’d much rather have Parsons than Barnes. 

Otherwise, they need another competent big man. I know they love that "death lineup" but Verajao/Ezeli killed them in the finals and Bogut’s injury really hurt them. They need another big that can play 15-20 minutes and set picks and board.

Marvin Williams – can do everything Barnes can do at half the price…..

I wouldn’t rule out Dwight Howard as well. You see how losing Bogut affected GS’s defense and overall team’s play. Why not get DH who is still a defensive and rebounding upgrade to Bogut. Not to mention how good he would be in pick and rolls to the rim with Curry’s alley oop passing abilities.

GS will be scarred and hurting all summer long and will do whatever they can to bounce back next year. DH will not be their first choice but certainly an upgrade if no one else is signed.

 GSW will be looking to add a veteran FA or two. I don’t see Dirk ever leaving Dallas personally. Some of the listed targets like Noah would command a decent salary so to fit him into the salary level would be hard if they want to retain Barnes.

Shaun Livingston has a team option for $5.8 million, I’d figure that GSW may pick up this option as Livingston played decent rotation minutes last season and with the cap raising he might get equal or better via FA.
