Has an article about possible trades that could/should be made at the deadline.

One writer, Jeremy Schmidt of TrueHoop, suggested Biedrins and Amundson for Nenad Krstic and Morris Peterson. He writes:
Question marks dot the top of the Western Conference. The Lakers have been up and down all season. The Spurs have been breezing through the season, but have come up short in recent playoffs. With two stars seemingly at the top of their games, the time to strike may be now for the Oklahoma City Thunder. But it's hard to strike with such a middling defense and poor rebounding.
Krstic isn't much of a defender or rebounder at center, and his problems are compounded playing next to Jeff Green. Biedrins would give a badly needed rebounding boost to the Thunder. The downside with Biedrins is a contract that's a bitter pill to swallow, one that would probably leave Green on the outside looking in at season's end. But Biedrins is just nearing age 25 now and could shore up the middle in Oklahoma City for a few years.
What do you think?
Since Biedrins is not contributing to the Warriors, and his style obviously does not mesh with what moves the Warriors are making, I think it would be a pretty smart deal for the Warriors to make. Sure, Krstic is a below-average center, but it looks more likely that Udoh will be more of an offensive presence than Beans, and Udoh looks like he can be every bit the defender Biedrins is right now.
It clears $$$ from the Warriors' cap and it moves the team forward. Plus, Mo Pete can help the Warriors play big in the back court for the rest of the season.
