The Rockets have made multiple trade offers for Warriors center Andris Biedrins, reportedly offering Hasheem Thabeet and/or Jordan Hill.

The Warriors aren't biting on that deal, despite Biedrins' declining play and the $27 million remaining on contract. Kirk Lacob, director of basketball operations, referred to Biedrins as "one of the most agile seven-footers in the world."

The Rockets reportedly came close to dealing for Warriors center Andris Biedrins, and while the deal fell through, they are continuing talks in the days ahead.

The Rockets were trying to move up to get Bismack Biyombo, but when he was selected by the Bobcats the Rockets stopped talks with the Warriors for the time being, and now they're back up. Daryl Morey is known as a guy to take some chances, but admittedly this is a bit shocking, as Biedrins' contract has been seen as radioactive league-wide for some while.

GM Larry Riley said that Andris Biedrins' "overall health is finally good now."

The Warriors insist that Biedrins' back-to-back disappointing years stem at least partially from injuries. A high ankle sprain certainly crippled Biedrins last year, but we're not convinced that's the only problem. The fact is that Biedrins started 55 games last year but averaged just 5.2 points, 7.6 rebounds and 0.9 blocks in those games.

Andris Biedrins is the only true center currently on the Warriors' roster.

Biedrins will be the subject of trade rumors, but he's owed $27 million over the next three seasons -- he's not going anywhere. And if he plays like he has over the last two seasons, he won't be getting many minutes either. Ekpe Udoh is really a power forward, but the Warriors may choose to roll with him over an unproductive Biedrins. Don't chase stats from 2008-09.

In a meeting with Andris Biedrins and his agent on Thursday, Warriors GM Larry Riley outlined a complete physical and mental training program for Biedrins to follow this summer.

Biedrins' confidence was shattered this season and he's been a shell of the player he was when the Warriors inked him to a huge contract -- he's still owed $27 million in the next three seasons. Even if he does return to form, however, Riley feels the Warriors need more size and frontcourt depth.

Andris Biedrins (ankle, personal) is currently not with the team due to the birth of his son in his homeland of Latvia.

He's been away from the team several days now but the reason why has finally been disclosed. It's doubtful that he would be playing even if he were available.

The San Francisco Chronicle confirms that Andris Biedrins (ankle, personal) is likely done for the season.

Biedrins' is dealing with a severe ankle sprain and was recently granted an excused family absence. Struggling rookie Ekpe Udoh will continue to start at center.

Andris Biedrins (ankle) will not play on Tuesday against the Blazers.

This is no big surprise, and gives another chance at full minutes for Ekpe Udoh. However, use Udoh at your own risk, as he is capable of getting yanked if he gets in over is head on the court.

Andris Biedrins (ankle) will not play on Saturday against the Mavs.

The Warriors are probably balancing his health with the chance to either help or hurt his waning confidence as the year winds down. If he's not 100 percent, there's a good chance they'll opt to call it a year.

Andris Biedrins (ankle sprain) will be re-evaluated before Saturday's game.

Biedrins has lost his starting job to Ekpe Udoh, he's being outplayed by Louis Amundson on some nights, and he's been in a funk all season due partly to a complete lack of confidence. Better luck next year.

Andris Biedrins (ankle) has been ruled out for the Warriors' two game road trip.

The only real surprise here is that the Warriors haven't gone ahead and declared him done for the year. With only a few weeks left in the season, plenty of young faces needing the experience and nothing to play for, it makes little sense to hold out hope for Biedrins.

Andris Biedrins (ankle) is expected to miss at least two more games.

The Warriors refuse to say that Biedrins in done for the season, but that's the likely scenario. After tonight's win over the Wizards, Golden State only has eight games left to get Ekpe Udoh valuable experience.

The Warriors announced that Andris Biedrins (ankle) will be out at least two more games.

There were reports last week that Biedrins would be shut down for the season. The Warriors never confirmed that, but it would make sense. Rookie Ekpe Udoh is getting valuable experience right now.

Don Nelson said he was fired because he asked Andris Biedrins to shoot free throws underhanded.

Biedrins shot 16 percent from the charity stripe last season and has raised that mark to 32.3 percent without Nellie this season. Underhanded probably was not the worst idea in the world. Regardless, new coach Keith Smart is reportedly already on the hot seat in part due to his apparent disconnect with Steph Curry.

According to team sources, the Golden State Warriors are expected to shut down Andris Biedrins (ankle) for the remainder of the season.

This puts an exclamation point on another disappointing season for Andris Biedrins. With Biedrins gone the front court will be Ekpe Udoh's to manage, though the Warriors may end up being creative with rotating David Lee and Vladimir Radmanovic as well.

Andris Biedrins (ankle) will not travel with the Warriors on their upcoming four-game road trip.

That puts Ekpe Udoh in the middle, but it's unknown whether he'll be able to take over a true starting workload. As it stands right now, Udoh is only an option if you're desperate for blocks, but with Biedrins out of action it's worth watching to see if Udoh can make something of the opportunity.

Andris Biedrins' sprained left ankle will be evaluated Thursday.

The Warriors provided few details after the game on their starting center, simply saying he could not return to action. At this point, we would be surprised if he played against the Suns on Friday. Backup Ekpe Udoh has averaged 3.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.8 blocks in four starts earlier this season.

Andris Biedrins had seven points, eight rebounds and zero blocks before leaving with a sprained ankle in Wednesday's loss to the Mavericks.

This is a shame, as it's one of the first times in recent memory that AB was doing anything. He'll be day-to-day going forward, as he was unable to return to the game. As much as we'd like to tell you that Ekpe Udoh is worth a pickup, he did nothing in his experimental four-game starting stretch over the last couple weeks.

Andris Biedrins got torched by Samuel Dalembert and failed to post a single point, rebound or block in Monday's loss to the Kings.

Biedrins is useless, and while it's hard to tell if he's just not very good, or still injured, it doesn't matter. Ekpe Udoh had 10 points, one rebound and one block, but the centers in GSW should be ignored for fantasy purposes.

Andris Biedrins had zero points, six rebounds, four steals and a block in Sunday's win over the Wolves.

Biedrins has started three straight games, but we just can't rely on him for consistent minutes. He hasn't attempted more than two shots in a game in any of his last five games and has just three blocks over that span. The center spot in Golden State is a fantasy wasteland.
