What about Magloire for Pietrus? It's obvious we need more wing players (a reliable 6th man would be nice) and the salaries work. Magloire gives the Warriors a low post big man they could use in their rotation behind Biedrins.Warriors can trade disgruntled Pietrus

They can get much better for Pietrus then magliore.</div> Doubt they send him to a contender in the West. Only teams that will probably make a play for him in th East are Miami, Orlando, Cleveland, Detroit and NJ. It's a tough match-up salarywise unless it's part of a bigger package and Golden St is willing to take back a contract that goes beyond this season. Something tells me he could be stolen in a deal that gives the Warriors a simple piece that helps them match-up with playoff contenders. They have a lot of quality players, they don't need a star back. They just need another player that will help them bang with the Duncans, Boozers, Bynums, Yaos and Dampiers they could see in the playoffs.

No one is going to give them a quality big for a player with one year left on his deal and no bird rights. The only other type of player they could use would be a back-up pg.

I've been wanting Pietrus on this team for awhile and the way this bench is playing they clearly need a 6th man.
I'd rather swing Austin Croshere rather than MP. Croshere has three point ability and size that we could use.
The Warriors would want nothing to do with Magloire. What part could he possibly play in their offense? Other then the big guy who bobbles the ball away every chance he gets.

Yep, Pietrus isn't a Frank guy, and Magloire isn't a Nellie guy. This trade is about as likely as a Kidd trade to Chicago was at the last trading deadline.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (JAMES.SLIMM @ Jan 1 2008, 02:22 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>What constitutes a Frank guy?</div> Someone with a high basketball IQ for starters. Part of the reason why Jason Collins has started for the past five years up until last month.
Pietrus will get burn alongside Kidd. But I don't think Nellie goes for it. As much as getting a Boozer stopper appeals to GSW....Magloire is not that guy. We saw them buyout Foyle after he rotted on their bench all season. When Boozer went nuts on them in the 2nd round, Foyle did not get any time on the floor in that series.
pietrus has really fallen out of favor in GS. i could possibly see them taking magloire for him at the deadline just to shed some salary. who knows, he's a young kid and was named the "french MJ", maybe Frank will like him, ya dig.
