The Warriors showed they still feel somewhat intrigued by giving Jordan Bell a $1.8 million qualifying offer to make him a restricted free agent.
The next question: to what extent do the Warriors feel invested in Bell? They plan to canvas other front-court players in free agency before committing to Bell, who has received mixed reviews in his past two seasons with his consistency and maturity. Should Bell receive any outside questions, it appears unlikely the Warriors will exhaust their resources into keeping Bell. After all, the Warriors drafted Villanova senior forward with No. 41 pick in this year’s NBA Draft, and he may become better suited for a consistent rotation spot.
