5 Dream Targets For Golden State Warriors In 2017 NBA Free Agency

Greg Monroe, C, Milwaukee Bucks

Noel would be a strong addition this offseason, especially if the Warriors were interested in having a starting-caliber true center on the roster. However, if they really want a dominant big man, I think they’d be better off targeting a talent such as Greg Monroe in this dream scenario.

I don’t know why the Bucks don’t think so, but Monroe is still a star down low. He’s been a monster this season despite coming exclusively off the bench.

Milwaukee has started young options at center, but there’s no denying the veteran is making the most of his minutes when they come around.

Chances are he’ll decline his player option this offseason, allowing him to find a team more willing to make him a prominent part of their game plan. The Warriors fit the bill, even with their knack for taking the small-ball approach.

Put simply, having a true enforced in the middle would make a huge impact for Golden State.

Monroe would cost a pretty penny considering there should be several interested parties when he hits the market. At the same time, joining a true contender like the Warriors is likely near the top of his priorities list.

Taking his talents to the Bay Area seems like a smart move for a big man like Monroe.
