feel bad for warrior fans i really like you guys and they way you support your squads all rowdy and all but this team did a complete 180.... fools think montais a pg too... pshhh... man is a straight 2 dude is too effective on the wing on a fastbreak and he too turnover prone for a pg

 

[jpzx]

Obviously Baron has been a big part of the Warriors success over the past two years so it is kind of hard to see him go--I believe bringing Brand in to GS hasits pros and cons...Brand will provide veteran leadership along w/ great #s, but he will also will cost the Warriors a lot of $ if they sign him + the Warriorsare trying to build young and Elton really wouldn't be a part of that young nucleus. We'll see how it all works out, but I see him staying in LA.

 

[prinse3]

brand is a clipper falk and him just stallin

 

[acidicality]

Elton probably won't sign here....but whether or not he does, it's really a no-lose situation for us.

This summer I'm staying in the Bay instead of taking summer school at SD; I was looking for an internship but I couldn't get one so I'm looking ata boring summer also cuz most of my friends from high school are elsewhere....I heard 3rd years have a better chance to find one so I hope I can get more lucknext year.

I don't mind working retail, but I'd only be working for 2 months since school starts again pretty soon..

 

[sohi 23]

IF Brand does sign here, it's essentially a trade Baron for Brand.

The Warriors have needed a legit big for the longest and this trade off would make it work.
I don't think Brand will sign here but this would vault the team into the top 6 in the west IMO with the Lakers, Spurs, Hornets, Rockets, and Jazz

It depends on how well Randolph plays on how much Wright/Marco improves.

um....monta handled the ball a lot last year even if he wasn't the official point guard...i'm pretty confident he'll be okay handling theball.

 

[paul is on tilt]

Well in Monta's defense, he had 221 turnovers in the 2006-2007 season and his turnover numbers went down to 173 in the 2007-2008 season. His assists wasabout the same... in the 2006-2007 season, he had 319 and in the 2007-2008 season, he had 315. Granted he had to handle the ball a lot more in the absence ofBaron in the 2006-2007 season, but I think he can handle the pressure, as long as someone else can take the pressure off him every once in a while.

And damn, does everyone here go to a prestigious school

? I go to lowly Skyline Community College in San Bruno

Thanks for the compliment

. We love our damn team!!!

Our front office didn't really do a 180 on us. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY expected Baron to opt out of the $17.8 mil he was to get in the 2008-2009season. Mullin really banked on that. Either way, we were going to be in this same situation in the 2009-2010 season anyway so who really cares. We're ayear ahead of schedule now and I'm still fine with that. It was expected to be eventually Monta's team when we traded J-Rich and knew that Baron timewas up here.

And I'll address this comment with my previous statement above.

Probably not.

monta is comfortable handling the ball ... i understand that of course. Hes a great player and he can do that... what im trying to say is that he is moreEFFECTIVE and effecient when hes not handling the ball. The man is a two guard. He plays like a two guard, and hed be better as a two guard.. that cant beargued. im not a average fan coming in here and saying this i watched every single warriors game word to league pass. Monta wont be bad as a pg he would justbe better as a 2.

In regards to baron that guy was your fuel... he was the warrior image... dude even locked down my boy a.i when i say the team is doing a 180 im lookin at iliek this

monta, kelenna, sjax, wright, beidrins, randolph, bellinelli, pietrus (if you keep him) and even harrington even if hes bouncing... thats one of the weakestteams in the west on paper especially how every other team got better.

I see your point and agree with the aspect that Monta is effective/comfortable/better or whatever else you want to say at the two. I have no problem withhim bringing the ball up and initiating the offense if that means he can still come off screens to nail jumpers.

Regarding the team you just named....It's July, and we have like 9 guys on our roster, I'll be more worried come October how we look on paper.

Yea i understand that, but with Baron out he has to play PG and is very capable of doing it.

 

[prinse3]

yah i know what you guys are sayin too.. hes a ballplayer and ballers can play regardless where theyre put. Mullin better come up with !$$# quick though cuzthis squad is lackin... why didnt the warriors take a shot at duhon? good defender and he can knock down the open 3... could have provided some stability atthe 1, and hes askin only for 5 mill Year which oculd have left a lot of cap room

 

[paul is on tilt]

And I don't know why Mullin didn't at least indicate that he was a bidder for Duhon. My guess(es) are...

- If Duhon was to take over the 1 and leave Monta at the 2, we'd still have a very small backcourt. Ideally, we want a bigger PG so that Monta can guardthe opposing PG and that larger PG could guard the opposing SG.

- Mullin wanted to take care of the "big pieces" first (i.e. Monta, Andris, Brand, Baron) before the complimentary pieces.

- CJ Watson and Marco Belinelli might be the options at the 1 next season

.

- Mullin's got something up his sleeve.

i read a harrington for kirk hinrich rumor here:

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/colum...FreeAgency-080703&lpos=spotlight&lid=tab1pos1

what do you guys think? it'd be a good look for the bulls.. we could use somebody like harrington to be a more consistent scorer at the 4 spot. and u guysnow need a PG.. and we have an extra one.

 

[prinse3]

i love belinelli's game but lets just hope hes no bo outlaw summer league allstar only

 

[franchise3]

Under Nelly, you need guys who can shoot.

Duhon is a horrible shooter all around, that's probably why.

Nelly's already said Monta is going to take over PG duties.

pass. not with that huge contract.. plus, he is a chucker, and had an alltime low in pts and asts last season. also has a penchant for picking up fouls.
