Curry said he's been dropping lines to guard Jarrett Jack for a while, telling the free-agent-to-be guard he needs to stay with the Warriors. "This is the place for him," Curry said. "He's bounced around a lot. For him to have hopefully found a home here for the foreseeable future would be huge. I know he wants to be part of a winning team, and I think we have that here now." Jack will be an unrestricted free agent come July 1. Forward Carl Landry, who has a $4 million player option for next season, can also become a free agent. The Warriors, however, are expected to be over the luxury tax next season as Curry's extension kicks in, increasing his salary by $6 million. San Jose Mercury-News

Jackson has been coy about how he'll replace Lee in the starting lineup and overall, but I've got to believe the Warriors are leaning towards going small (with Harrison Barnes moving to the 4 and Jarrett Jack into the starting lineup) for most of the game, whether that's to start the game or not. It's just the best way to get his better, faster players on the floor at the same time, and then Jackson can pinpoint when he wants to get Carl Landry in for some post scoring... and I'd think Jackson will have a quick trigger on Landry and Bogut playing together, since they don't seem like a real fit and they didn't play much in tandem this season.

Carl Landry posted up Mike Dunleavy twice Saturday night and couldn't back him down. Dunleavy told me his secret afterward: "I played with Cliff Robinson, one of the best post defenders ever, my first couple of years in the league. Skinny as I was, I was getting posted up all the time by pretty much everyone. One day after practice he showed me a few techniques and ever since, it's been a little better." He added, somewhat jokingly, "You get over 30 years you get some old-man strength, too." Both Landry and Dunleavy are listed as 6'9", but Landry is 248 pounds while Dunleavy is 220. Watching Dunleavy work, Robinson taught him about leverage -- keeping his upper body straight up, but utilizing his legs at an angle, like tipping a chair against a door. Sulia

Golden State Warriors forward Carl Landry presented $10,000 worth of donations in boxing, fitness and recreation equipment Thursday to the East Oakland Boxing Association, which was burglarized on several occasions last year. Landry helped distribute equipment provided by Good Sports, including exercise benches, boxing gloves, protective head and groin gear and chin-up bars. The East Oakland Boxing Association is a nonprofit that has served Oakland residents ages 5 to 20 since 1987. It provides free after-school and summer programs that include physical activities like boxing along with mentoring and tutoring for academics, art, gardening and leadership development.

Landry's low-post game wasn't the only reason Golden State wanted him. Sure, the jumper-loving Warriors needed his bankable skill. But Landry also possesses an intangible general manager Bob Myers wanted. The Warriors needed a guy who got his front teeth knocked out with an elbow (in December at Dallas) and missed one game, a guy who got shot in the calf (in an incident after a car accident in Houston in March 2009) and was back in the lineup 21 days later. So Myers flew Landry to Las Vegas during the summer league to express his interest in him. Landry ended up signing a two-year, $8 million deal in August (with a player option for the next season). "You can say you're tough, but not a lot of people have stories like that to back it up," Myers said. "That guy's tough. He's so tough, he doesn't have to say it. Everybody just knows it."

Landry, who holds a player option for the 2014 season, is hoping his latest stop in Golden State will be the last in his career journey, for a long while. “Golden State has been more than good to me so far and that’s an understatement,” Landry told HOOPSWORLD. “I’m really excited to be here. I signed a two-year deal and hopefully I can be here for a very long time.” HoopsWorld

“I think every player wants some type of security,” Landry said referring to his desire to settle in with one team. “I’ve been fortunate enough to be in the league for six years and I’m very blessed to have an opportunity to do so.” HoopsWorld

The mention of Golden State Warriors forward Carl Landry elicited a unique reaction from some of his teammates huddled in the locker room before a game last week. Two sat silently and waited for David Lee to describe the hulking offseason signee, and after several seconds of pondering, the usually verbose Lee offered only: "He's boring." Well, "The Big Boring" is exactly what the Warriors need. Their roster is made up of integral players with histories of injuries, seven first- or second-year players just learning the NBA game, and a handful of men who rely heavily on jumpers.

Veteran forward Carl Landry remembers the year he made the playoffs with Houston. How every game was intense. How the city rallied around the team. He said he wants that back. That's why he said he signed with the Warriors. "At this point in my career, I want to play for a team that's not playing for a draft pick," he said. " ... This team definitely has the talent to be a playoff team -- and not just an eighth seed or a seventh seed." Oakland Tribune

Warriors GM Bob Myers wouldn't promise a playoff berth in 2012-13, but he thinks they've got a better chance than last year. "I’m not sure we could expect much from the talent that we supplied the coaching staff with last year," Myers said. "But I called Mark (Jackson) and told him after the Carl Landry signing that he has something to work with this year. I don’t think he’s running from that challenge. I think he’s saying, ‘Yeah, we do.’" Sulia
