PHOENIX — The Warriors sensed they would eventually have this conversation. After all, the Warriors had a thin backcourt, became encouraged with Quinn Cook’s development and remained aware of Omri Casspi’s tenuous health.

So when the Warriors waived Casspi on Saturday to make room for Cook on the team’s playoff roster, the Warriors hardly went through too many deliberations.

“It actually wasn’t a difficult decision because he was injured,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said of Casspi, who had missed the past 10 games with a sprained right ankle.
