Here’s a bit of an off-the-wall target that actually makes a ton of sense for the Golden State Warriors. Not too many people watched the Phoenix Suns last year and that’s just fine, because you’re not really missing anything if you didn’t.

However, one of the rare bright spots for the Suns last season was Mirza Teletovic. If three-point shooting is the name of the game in Golden State, Teletovic fits in better with the Warriors then any other free agent out there.

Most of you are probably unaware that Teletovic set the NBA record for three’s by a reserve last year, which fits in line with all the records that the Warriors broke from beyond the arc as well.

Adding a guy like Teletovic would happen if they’re not able to get a max player in free agency, as he is a mid-tier free agent that could command as much as $16 million a year if not more on the open market.

He’s instant offense in a hurry and he could be a huge boost of offense on the bench for the Warriors. He could be a value player and ultimately could be one of the better options that is going to available to them.
