Marcus Thompson has a Biedrins trade rumor post up. The deal would be Biedrins for Hasheem Thabeet and Jordan Hill.  First wow, those were some amazing busts especially Thabeet.  Even if you thought Thabeet was not the #2 player in the draft (I was in this camp) you could not have thought that he would never be a serviceable back-up defensive center.

I have to admit that at the time of the Biedrins signing I thought it was a great signing.  The right amount of money and the right terms (non-escalating). It was obvious that Baron was a huge part of Andris’s success but I would have never predicted he would become so awful upon the loss of BD.

I have to admit that getting expiring contracts for Biedrins sounds like a great deal.  Get him off the books after 2012 and start over.  My gut reaction was DO IT NOW!!! But after 5 minutes of thinking of it I can see why the Warriors may not want to make that deal.  As MTII points out they don’t have anyone one better to replace him with and he can only improve from his disaster last year. Maybe Jackson thinks he can do something to bring back a bit of the old Beans working out in Oakland during the off season, I don’t know.  I really want him to get better and be the 10-10 guy but I just don’t see it happening.

I would make this trade but it is not a slam dunk no brainer. Or maybe it is and I am over-thinking it. DO IT NOW!!! or maybe next week after mulling it over again.
