NBA Trade Rumors: 5 centers Golden State Warriors can pick up from free-agency

#3 NBA Trade Rumors: Alex Len could contribute on both ends for the Golden State Warriors

Orlando Magic v Atlanta Hawks

By the end of the 2018-19 season, Alex Len had developed a bit of a presence from downtown. He dropped 74 of his 204 attempts - a respectable 36.3%. However, he seemed to have lost his touch from outside in the season that followed for the Atlanta Hawks. Unsurprisingly, the franchise decided to trade him to the Sacramento Kings.

The Golden State Warriors could decide to take a gamble on his hit and miss shooting from outside because of his contributions on the defensive end.

Len has averaged a block a game throughout his NBA career to go with 6.3 rebounds. If he can recreate his form from 2018-19 again, he would be a wise pick up for the Golden State Warriors.

#2 NBA Trade Rumors: Aron Baynes is in the form of his life and could be a good addition to the Golden State Warriors' roster

Baynes has been superb for the Suns.

Aron Baynes' performance against the Portland Trail Blazers in the 2019-20 regular season should be reason enough for the Golden State Warriors to chase him in free agency. Baynes helped the Suns to a 10-point win against Damian Lillard and co. He dropped a career-high 37 points, including 9 triples. The 33-year-old also had 16 rebounds and 2 blocks to add to the insane scoring.

Aron Baynes is playing the best basketball of his career and aging like fine wine. He is a more significant offensive threat now than he has ever been before, as he smashed his former career-high points per game record (6.6) to average 11.5 for the Suns.

This season, Baynes played over 20 minutes a night for the first time in his career and finally showed what he is capable of. The Golden State Warriors should capitalize on Baynes' red-hot streak and go for him this offseason.

#1 NBA Trade Rumors: Marc Gasol could be willing to take a pay-cut to join the Golden State Warriors

Gasol played brillian against GSW in the 2019 NBA Finals.

One of the best centers in recent NBA history, Marc Gasol finally won himself an NBA Championship last season with the Toronto Raptors. Now 36, the Spaniard is out of contract and will most likely be leaving the Toronto Raptors. Gasol isn't the assured 15 points per game scorer like he once was, but he's still one of the most complete centers in the league.

Gasol shot the three at 40% efficiency in his two seasons with the Raptors and is a career 48% scorer from the field. Additionally, the 36-year-old is a very decent rim protector and is also an extremely competent playmaker, averaging over 3 assists in his long NBA career.

He would probably look for more money than the MLE can get him, but if he wants to compete for another NBA title, the Golden State Warriors could convince him to take a pay cut to join them.
