The Warriors are considering a contract offer to free agent big man Jordan Bell, Marcus Thompson of The Athletic tweets.
The 2017 second-round pick spent his first two seasons with Golden State. He appeared in 125 regular-season games but his time there was marred by controversy, including a team-imposed suspension after he charged hotel items to assistant coach Mike Brown.
Bell has played for three teams in the last two seasons. He signed two 10-day contracts with the Wizards this year but they didn’t offer him a standard contract after the second one expired. In total, Bell averaged 2.8 points and 3.8 rebounds in five games for Washington, playing 13.4 minutes per night.
The Warriors currently have two open roster spots and have until next Thursday to fill one of them. Bell could add depth to a frontcourt depleted by the loss of rookie James Wiseman, who is out for the season.
Please don’t! I would rather have Gary Payton back, then this guy!
Good! GP2 as well or even Kyle Korver – FILL THE SPOTS
Immature. Get someone over 6’8 we are getting killed on the boards
Jordan Bell over Omari Spellman? Has Spellman gotten that Fat ?
Regardless, ANYONE taller than 6-3 would be welcome on this team.
About the only good things about bringing this guy in would be that he knows the system, and he won’t take a single shot away from Curry. He can go 0-0 and grab 5 rebounds in 9 minutes. Done.
yep just need a big body to rebound and fill up the middle. last 3 weeks we heard pascal is coming back and nothing. So why not bring in pascal lite.
MO SPEIGHTS for playoff run!!!!!!
Why stop there? Bring back Andrew Bogut and Festus Ezeli too.
Ezeli has reportedly done a lot of work. He is only 30. Could be worth it for a depth piece for next season. It is worth a look.
Don’t know how facetious Wally was being but are Bogut/Ezeli any worse options than Bell?
I know. Ezeli’s only problem is his knee. The right sort of conditioning can reduce those problems. He has reportedly been doing the work. He is certainly a lot better option than Kyle Korver, or the other stiffs people are suggesting the Warriors should sign.
Like Arc said, he could be “a big body to fill up the middle”.
I F…ing love JTA
The NBA center market is very bad if guys like this are still able to get jobs.
Been sayin it for weeks. OMARI SPELLMAN
