Darko's $7 million comes off after the season, so it's not $27.

I won't believe any of that until there's factual proof. If Nellie still continues to kill the rotation and have Belinelli play inconsistent PT, then I too would look to play somewhere else. I would like the W's get off to a bad start like 2-8 and payout Nellie and have someone else step in and coach. I wouldn't mind that, I bet if Smart took over, he would have a set rotation.
It's not going to be Marco's decision anyways since the Warriors can match.
 
It's very understandable why Marco is disapointed in GS, but I would hate to see him go, because I always thought he was extremely talented, but Nelsonbeing the guy that he is...
 
Just got back from work, 230-11pm...wore some dress shoes, definitely the wrong type "patna".

I might frequent this thread until draft day because we have the pick before the Warriors and I might be able to nix or confirm things...like if a certainplayer will fall at 7 or if they won't because we'll probably take them.

Right now I think our draft board looks like this (not including Blake Griffin)..

1. Rubio
2. Thabeet
3. Evans
4. Curry

5. Harden
6. Flynn
7. Derozan

I know GS is in search of a PG...but if we hold onto the 6th pick I'm pretty sure Evans, Flynn or Curry is the pick there.

[h1]Monta Ellis Wants to Retire a Warrior[/h1]

Guard Monta Ellis went on a Bay Area radio station on Thursday, and said he and the organization are on the same page and that he'd like to retire a Golden State Warrior.

Ellis said in an interview with KNBR that general manager Larry Riley and coach Don Nelson had flown east to meet him and that the get-together "really put us on the same page."

According to DraftExpress' Jonathan Givony and the San Jose Mercury News' Tim Kawakami, Ellis was upset that the Warriors apparently were planning on selecting a point guard with the No. 7 pick in next Thursday's NBA draft.http://

Last week, the Warriors worked out point guards Brandon Jennings and Jonny Flynn.

The Warriors have been wrestling with the issue of whether or not Ellis can play point guard ever since they lost Baron Davis last year in free agency. Ellis was injured most of last season after suffering an ankle injury in a moped accident.

When he did play the point, the results were inconclusive in terms of getting it done. While the public verdict may still be out about whether Ellis can be a true point guard, he seems to have made up his mind.

Ellis talked at length about leadership, and said that Nelson "came down here, put it exactly like it was: 'I'm putting the team in your hands, on your shoulders.'"

The Warriors set up the interview with its flagship station, and it was conducted by Warriors play-by-play man Bob Fitzgerald.

Ellis' statements certainly make it sound like the Warriors are going to give this point-guard thing a go with him, and that they'll stay away from drafting a one. Which make the stories seem true.

We'll find out next Thursday.
 
[h2]Monta Ellis speaks: Sounds like he expects to be (surprise) the Warriors' point guard[/h2]

The beauty of the Warriors' full-throttle spin effort is that it actually gives us more insight-if we're paying attention (and I know some people are definitely not)-into their true thought-process than we would normally get.

In large measure, this is not a bad Warriors thing. They do what they do, and spin politics is what they do. (Winning is NOT what they do.)

And it's unintentional on the Warriors' part, but still a fact: Manic spin sometimes = insight, even though that might be the last thing they want to provide.

Monta Ellis, as reported here and elsewhere, hasn't been pleased with the direction of the franchise (Chris Mullin was his guy) and was even less pleased to hear the Warriors possibly lining up a point guard with the No. 7 selection.

Don Nelson and Larry Riley flew out to Memphis to talk it over, by my account and others, and apparently promised Ellis that they would not be drafting a play-making guard who might take away from Ellis' self-perceived role as the team's offensive initiator.

That's what I reported.

The Warriors supplied Ellis to the team station today, and (according to this report by Steinmetz/Fanhouse, again, I know some others aren't paying attention, but Matt is) Ellis said he wanted to retire as a Warriors player and talked about how the Warriors want to put the team in his hands. Good. Fine.

None of that is bad. None of that is misleading. Ellis is the most talented offensive player on the team and signed for five more years, anyway, so I don't know where he'd go and what the Warriors would do in the short-term without him.

Sounds like Ellis expects to be the point guard. And: Why would Nelson and Riley fly out there, unless there were issues? (I know some people don't want to believe it. That's fine. They still believe everything the spinners tell them.)

But was Ellis asked whether he'd been told that the Warriors wouldn't take a play-making guard? Was he even asked about the draft/don't-draft a PG issue? No and no. Hmm, interesting.

This comes after Ken Berger's CBS Sportsline.com report (Berger's very good), quoting Ellis' agent Jeff Fried. Berger's piece also spoke about the Nelon/Riley visit, which Fried described as the Warriors execs telling Ellis they want to build the franchise around him. (Berger also reported that they're shopping the No. 7 pick.)

All very interesting.

It could mean that the Warriors are a team of 100% bliss, love everywhere, and my goodness, there's a 55-win season coming up any time now.

It could mean that I'm a horrendous, horrendous person, daring to question the authenticity of spin coming from a team that has been so good and so truthful for so many years.

It also could mean that this is just spin, that Ellis was bothered enough that Nelson/Riley had to fly out to appease him and one of the ways they did that was to tell him they wouldn't draft a playmaking guard.

You can believe whatever you want. That's the fun of the Warriors spin/PR game. I really don't blame them. How else could the off-season for a 29-win team be this entertaining?
 
3. The defense would help off of me (word to Eric Snow)...just spot up and I'll be able to knock down a 3 given like 10 opportunities.
