The Warriors will introduce their latest acquisition, Derek Fisher, on Monday afternoon in Oakland. Presumably, they will
also introduce their new small lineup, so as to maximize both their trio of point guards -- all 6- foot-1 or shorter -- and
their undersized (and also newly enriched) center, Adonal Foyle.
Either that, or they'll offer some other answer to the question that has raged throughout Warriorland and the rest of
the NBA since word of Fisher's signing surfaced Thursday: Why?
And, if we're lucky, they'll also answer: What's next?
The second question may be the answer to the first. The Warriors do have more roster moves in their future, simply because
Erick Dampier is still on the free-agent market. Very few teams have the room under the salary cap to sign him outright --
and one of those teams, the Hawks, spoke to him over the weekend. The rest have to get him through a sign-and-trade, and
the Knicks are the latest to make an offer.
The good news about the Knicks' offer is that, as it stands, it won't bring back a fourth point guard. Which brings us
back to the original question: Why?
