The Golden State Warriors are at a crossroad despite a lengthy lapse of inclusion in post-season play. This squad provided a huge blip on the radar screen by abolishing the Mavericks in last year's playoffs.

This recently completed season saw a 48 win season that could have been playoff-qualifying most seasons, and certainly would have been even better had Stephen Jackson chosen not to go "Pacman," and be suspended for the first seven games of the season.

What do the Warriors need?

I believe they need a presence inside.

Andris Biedrins is a force, but a thin presence nonetheless.
