Jason Terry would unretire only if Warriors, Lakers or Mavericks called

If -- and this is a big IF -- the Warriors use that vacant 15th roster spot, it likely will be on a center or a wing. It's no sure thing they will use it at all.

But there's a retired guard who'd be willing to fill that open roster spot.

Jason Terry, who played in 51 games for the Bucks last season, said on Saturday night's Fox Sports Southwest Mavericks-Rockets game broadcast that he'd come out of retirement only for the Warriors, the Lakers or Dallas.

"Then I'll answer the phone," Terry said, according to ESPN's Tim MacMahon.

Would the Warriors have any use for a 41-year-old point guard/shooting guard who averaged 3.3 points in 51 games last season? Not likely.

The Warriors already have point guards Stephen Curry, Shaun Livingston and Quinn Cook on the roster. Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, Kevin Durant and Andre Iguodala help share the ball-handling responsibilities.

So "The Jet" probably would have a hard time cracking the Warriors' rotation.

Teague explains why Warriors shouldn't move on from Draymond

The Warriors' biggest need right now is a big man after Damian Jones suffered a torn left pectoral muscle. But they're about to get Draymond Green back from a toe injury, and DeMarcus Cousins likely will make his debut sometime after Christmas.

But we have to give Terry credit for trying to plant the seed in the Warriors' minds that he's available.
