Looks like Adrien has wrapped up the final roster spot, as the Warriors just announced that Aaron Miles has been waived. Seems like the smart move to me, especially with Amundson’s injury.
Still, where are those 10-15 backup minutes at the point going to come from?
This was not the post I had originally meant to do tonight but work got in the way so it will have to wait another day.
Rusty Simmons has a quick article in the SFChron discussing the 15th roster spot. What it lacks in any sort of depth it makes up for in quotes from Coach Smart and the two players battling it out, Jeff Adrien and Aaron Miles. Interesting that Jeremy Lin’s name is not thrown in the mix, but I guess marketing to Asian-Americans and his potential (not to mention his contract) have guaranteed him a roster spot.
At this point I would lean towards the rebounding Adrien, for when B-Wright or Biedrins go down, but then what to do at the point to spell Curry? Is Miles better than Lin? Is Adrien better than Gadzuric? Are the new owners willing to buy out any awful contracts to open up roster spots for better players?
