Tough decisions for W's on Paul, Chandler

Well, Warriors owner Joe Lacob said he wanted to be bold.Heres his chance.It's obvious Lacob and the Warriors front office are weighingwhether or not to acquire Chris Paul and Tyson Chandler in separatetransactions.While getting those two players would seem like a no-brainerfor a franchise that has missed the playoffs in 16 of the past 17 years, thereality is there is big-time risk involved.What Lacob and crew are wrestling with this morning is this:Should they trade Stephen Curry and another young player or two for Paul, whois on the last year of his contract and who will not come with anextension?Decision No. 2 is this: Should they commit in theneighborhood of 15 million per season -- more than 60 million over four years -- to Chandler, an elite interior defender but a player with an injuryhistory?Those are not easy decisions.Paul is an elite point guard and a certifiabledifference-maker, but he already has made noise about playing in New York atthe end of his contract. If the Warriors traded for him -- and gave up theirfuture and cornerstone in Curry -- theyd have to bank on convincing Paul tostay.In other words, its possible the Warriors could trade forPaul today, and come summertime they no longer have Paul or Curry.As for Chandler, the Warriors are in the game for him and ifthey really want him they have a way to get there. The Warriors are currentlyabout 7 or so million under the cap and if they used the amnesty clause onAndris Biedrins could get up to 16 or so million under.That would possibly be enough to acquire Chandler, albeit atan inflated number. Still, the Warriors have been talking defense for years,and getting Chandler would provide them a legitimate basket protector.The reality is the Warriors have an avenue to getting Pauland Chandler. Its no sure thing and its replete with risk. But theres a wayto get there.Question is: Does Lacob do it?
