The Rockets reportedly came close to dealing for Warriors center Andris Biedrins, and while the deal fell through, they are continuing talks in the days ahead.
The Rockets were trying to move up to get Bismack Biyombo, but when he was selected by the Bobcats the Rockets stopped talks with the Warriors for the time being, and now they're back up. Daryl Morey is known as a guy to take some chances, but admittedly this is a bit shocking, as Biedrins' contract has been seen as radioactive league-wide for some while.

The Rockets have made multiple trade offers for Warriors center Andris Biedrins, reportedly offering Hasheem Thabeet and/or Jordan Hill.
The Warriors aren't biting on that deal, despite Biedrins' declining play and the $27 million remaining on contract. Kirk Lacob, director of basketball operations, referred to Biedrins as "one of the most agile seven-footers in the world."

Klay Thompson is expected to go into training camp as the Warriors' top backup at shooting guard and small forward.
Thompson's role could change if Monta Ellis gets traded, but for now the Warriors are adamant that Ellis isn't going anywhere. So the silky smooth shooter will be one of the first players off the bench, spelling Ellis and Dorell Wright. In that role, it's hard to project much more than 23-25 minutes a night.

Wouldn't be a bad idea at all to acquire thabeet and hill, i can see hill developing as a solid PF for us plus thabeet can clog up the paint nicely although he needs to get better footwork, as he moves too clumsy for a center if he improves on that he should be considered a starter, if not let him come off the bench
