    The strain in the voice of Larry Riley suggests that the general manager's overhaul of the Warriors' roster isn't quite complete, but there might be a little break coming.

    Riley said Thursday that he still wants to add an experienced guard and big man and possibly a third player to the 2010-11 roster, but he would like to wait two or three weeks before finalizing the moves.

    "I don't want to do anything quickly for a while," said Riley, who has been holed up in a Las Vegas hotel for the better part of three weeks. "I think there are plenty of guys out there right now. I don't think the pool is going to dry up. I think there are plenty of guys who will be desirable to us.

    "We've got a list of all kinds of guys and have been in contact with all kinds of agents."

    The Warriors' trade of C.J. Watson to the Chicago Bulls for a second-round pick and a trade exception was completed Thursday. That, along with a similar trade this month of Anthony Morrow to New Jersey, gives Riley some flexibility in finding the final pieces of the roster.

    I expect some cheap experienced bench players like George. We need a 3-pt shooter and there were rumors of Adam Morrison, so think Riley and "Lacob" are considering Rasual Butler, Eddie House, Steve Novak or Rodney Carney. Probably Eddie with his Cal roots, but his shot was off last year. Louis Amundson has been mentioned as backup PF/C. It's still too early to make a deal using Brandan Wright, expirings and the TPE.
