The Golden State Warriors are frustrated with starting center Andrew Bogut, and would prefer to move him this offseason over anybody else on the roster, Monte Poole of CSN Bay Area reports, citing league sources.

Golden State was reportedly displeased by Bogut's postseason performance prior to his season-ending knee injury, and consider him as a candidate to be moved should the Warroirs land prized unrestricted free agent Kevin Durant.

Bogut played very poorly in this year's Finals, averaging just 2.3 points and 2.1 rebounds on 47.1 percent shooting. Bogut's poor showing forced head coach Steve Kerr to go smaller more often than he would've liked, allowing the Cleveland Cavaliers to consistently attack the paint.

Whether they land Durant or not, the Warriors will likely need to choose between Bogut and restricted free agent Festus Ezeli going forward, and would reportedly prefer to keep the 26-year-old Vanderbilt product.

Bogut has one year remaining on his contract at just over $11 million.
