As the Golden State Warriors have sought a center this offseason, most notably veteran Al Horford, the team has known the dire extent of its need for quite some time.
However, with the news that rumored trade or buyout target Nikola Vucevic will likely remain with the Chicago Bulls until at least the start of the season, the team may have avoided a mistake that could have been disastrous for their chances at contention next season.
While Vucevic once seemed like a solution for Golden State, they now have much clearer options, and acquiring the veteran center would certainly be an unmitigated catastrophe.
