The Andris Biedrins era is over. Someone just needs to tell the Warriors . It's really been over for a couple of years now. But, inexplicably, the Warriors continue to start the beleaguered Latvian center, sending him...

Warriors center Andris Biedrins spoke publicly Monday for the first time since logging only 9 ½ minutes in Friday's loss to Oklahoma City and having his "motor" questioned by coach Mark Jackson. Biedrins is averaging 16 ½ minutes a game this season, the least playing time he's recorded since 2005-06. He's averaging a career-low 2.9 points to go along with...

Word from the Golden State Warriors came out several days ago that they were looking into Andris Biedrins. The Warriors apparently decided that they were going to try and fix him. For those of you who can’t speak NBA owners let me translate what that means. “No one wants this broken player and his giant contract.”. Don’t be fooled by the NBA speak. The Warriors...

(Eds: APNewsNow. Will be updated. AP Photo Planned.) By JANIE McCAULEY AP Sports Writer Andris Biedrins received a specific assignment from his new coach: rebound every ball possible and block shots. Sounds simple enough, though Biedrins struggled to handle even his most basic of tasks the past two seasons. Coach Mark Jackson isn't worried about getting much more than that from...

The Golden State Warriors need someone to step up at center in 2011-12. 25-year old Andris Biedrins needs to get back to being the tough guy under the basket that he used to be a few years ago. Biedrins played in 59 games (55 starts) for the Warriors last year and he averaged 23.7 minutes, 5.0 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.0 assist per game. He wasn’t very aggressive last year...

He may look like Jimmy Chitwood but he sure isn’t playing like him. Going into this season I had high hopes for Andris. I thought that maybe his issues with Nelson were the cause of his struggles over the last two seasons. I thought maybe, just maybe, this would be the season he goes to the next level and proves that he is going to be one of the better big men in the league...

Let’s get ready for some Udoh ball! Seriously though I am happy that Udoh will be getting a decent amount of minutes. The kid has earned them with his defense. The part of his game that must improve is his rebounding. His defense at times takes him out of position rebounding wise and he must find a balance between the two. Once he comes down from his block attempt he has to...

The Warriors are not interested in using their amnesty provision on Andris Biedrins.

Andris Biedrins' agent said Saturday that conflicting reports of the Warriors' center signing with different European teams were erroneous, but Biedrins will explore overseas options next month. "I think (Biedrins) would be open to playing overseas on a temporary or a long-term basis if the (NBA) lockout continues, but we've got to get him some insurance to protect...

In what might have been a last-ditch effort to get something, anything, out of Andris Biedrins and the $27 million owed him over the next three seasons, the Warriors met with their center Thursday afternoon. In a two-hour chat with Biedrins and his agent, Bill Duffy, Warriors general manager Larry Riley outlined a complete physical and mental training program for Biedrins to follow this...

In an interview with Joe Lacob done by Tim Kawakami Lacob was asked if Houston had made an offer for Biedrins. Here was Lacob’s answer: “Yes. Others have, too. I’d say a number of teams have expressed interest in Andris. However, we don’t feel compelled to necessarily deal him. He is a guy that was a double-double guy in this league a few years ago. Obviously not...

24-year old center Andris Biedrins has played in 4 games so far this January and he is averaging 20.8 minutes, 2.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.0 steal and 1.0 blocked shot per game. He is only 4 of 6 shooting from the floor so far this month and he hasn’t shot any free throws. Biedrins needs to get mean because he’s a potential double/double every night he...

Biedrins targeted offseason to gain confidence, add strength

The Warriors have a chiseled 7-foot, 255-pound center in their training camp, a big man who moves well, plays a physical style and alters opponents' shots in the paint. Get this: It's Andris Biedrins. It hasn't stopped...

The Golden State Warriors have likely lost 24-year old starting center Andris Biedrins for the rest of the season due to a high ankle sprain. Biedrins has played in 59 games (55 starts) for the Warriors so far this year and he averaged 23.7 minutes, 5.0 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.0 assist per game. 23-year old rookie Ekpe Udoh will likely take over as the Warriors’ starting...

The trade deadline came and went with a flurry, however, it left the Warriors without making any major moves, (Troy Murphy is expected to be bought out) so they are just going to have to improve on what they got. Andris Biedrins has really been struggling lately, and by lately I mean the last two years. He looks like a shell of his former self, drafted as a paper thin 18-year-old...

Warriors center Andris Biedrins was able to practice Wednesday for the first time since he injured his right ankle and a toe on that foot got infected in the first half of the Jan. 4 game at San Antonio. His reward for arduous rehabilitation and conditioning work while he's been sidelined? Dwight Howard. Orlando and the game's best center come to Oracle Arena on Thursday...

Andris Biedrins' play has regressed the past two seasons.

At new head coach Mark Jackson’s introductory press conference at the NBA Finals, a reporter asked if the Warriors would try and get bigger. Instead of citing Andris Biedrins, David Lee, and Ekpe Udoh, Jackson instead made a bizarre comment about how you can look at the Mavericks and see you don’t see size, referencing…

Golden State Warriors starting center Andris Biedrins is not traveling with the team on its four-game road trip while he recovers from a severely sprained left ankle. The Warriors said Thursday night that an MRI on Biedrins' ankle confirmed the extent of the injury. He will be re-evaluated when Golden State returns from its road trip late next week.

Rusty Simmons of the San Francisco Chronicle reports: In what might have been a last-ditch effort to get something, anything, out of Andris Biedrins and the $27 million owed him over the next three seasons, the Warriors met with their center Thursday afternoon. In a two-hour chat with Biedrins and his agent, Bill Duffy, Warriors general manager [...]

Nene Hilario is an unrestricted free agent and should be on the Warriors shopping list for the 2012 (2013) season. I do realize the Warriors have zero cap space but I see a couple ways of this getting done. The first thing the Warriors could do is a sign and trade with Denver. They probably just don’t want to lose Hilario for nothing. So why not do a sign and trade and maybe...

Center justifies coach's support with back-to-back double-doubles

The Warriors dropped an ugly one to the Nets last night 94-90. This wasn’t a bad loss for the Warriors because it was on the road or even because the Nets were missing Deron Williams. It was an ugly loss because once again Andris Biedrins was brought in late in the game for defense and that is what let New Jersey seal the deal. Biedrins was brought in with about a minute to...

Andris Biedrins, his back to the rim, lunged into the chest of Al Jefferson at a Santa Barbara gym in September....
