Holding pieces for the offseason?

I think that the warriors inactivity may be a blessing right now.

In the offseason the value of our players will be significantly higher seeing as how Baron and Jrich will have played some games. Draft positions will be set and we will see who is coming out and declaring for the draft.

It seems more likely that the warriors could not lose enough to get a meaningful draft pick (in the 3-6 range). Great job. I'm betting we will be picking between 10-14. I don't think this team will hang on to this 8th seed. We needed another big man and we didn't get one. Good bye rebounds and hello second chance points for opponents.

In the offseason we have to get in on the draft action! Bring in the BEAST...no not Ike, I'm talking about Al Horford. This guy looks amazing. Charlotte recently came out and said they will be willing to spend more money in the offseason. How about a trade of Jrich and our first and second round picks for charlotte's lottery selection? Hopefully it will be low enough to pick up Horford. Charlotte does not need more youth, they have a glut of it and especially at pf. They are set at the 1,3,4 positions. They need a veteran scorer as their number one option and compliment to Okafor and receiver to felton. I'd suggest Baron, but he'd only impeed Felton's growth, and i believe they'd want Jrich more.

Even though it'd be tough, i think this would be a fair return if it lands us an athletic, young, NBA ready power forward to tag team with AB. We would then have a young core of Monta, AB, POB and hopefully Horford. Baron would still be the general and Harrington would shoulder some of the scoring load and play back at his natural 3 position. We will probably be undersized at the 2 with Monta there, but i'd rather be undersized at the 2 than at the 4 and 5 positions.

Dubz, make it happen!

No, please don't.

If you take a look out of your windows, you can now see Dallas, TX. Quite the site, no?

I like...

the fact that you don't think the W's will "hang on" to the 8th seed. I get the feeling that most W's fans would take a high lottery pick than a close, but unsuccessful, run at the playoffs. Blind optimism in a sporting fan is okay and sometimes healthy.

besides losing jrich and not making the playoffs

your plan sounds good.

nice

to see you guys supporting our W's. good grief. unless you've lived under a rock the past 12 years, getting the 8th seed is like getting to the conference finals for the W's. It would mean THE WORLD to just sneak into the 8th spot. trust me.

trade JR for a rookie?

not make the playoffs for a rook? you know that you're saying give up Jrich and a lottery pick for another pick? WTF! plus what makes you say we aren't going to the playoffs? don't you want them to go after 12 straight years of not getting there? who's evr even heard of this harford guy? anyone? they will make the playoffs. count on it... ok im calm.

if dubs are gonna make offseason trades,

the pacer players are the ones we should look to trade. and foyle, obviously. potentially pietrus in a sign & trade.

yea

of course i think any trade should start with the pacers ex players.

I've gotten to the point where, the playoffs would be nice after a lifetime, but i don't know. I'd hate to see us make it to the playoffs, and then get wiped on like a door mat. Plus getting in with a near .500 record doesn't seem like we should belong anyways. More like every other team sucked more. I want to see a deep run through the playoffs, not a "one and done" entrance and exit. No one ever remembers the teams that lose.

I think this is a realistic oppurtunity. No one wants BD, least of all the bobcats. Jrich, if he stays healthy, will garner some attention from teams. I don't personally want to see Jrich go, BUT i am hypothesizing what i think would benefit the team.

thanks for the responses, i feed off of them. haha.

hmmmm

trade the pacers players? yeah, that stephen jackson has really stunk it up for the w's! lol.
Dude, getting the 8th seed or whatever and getting the 14 pick or so....MUCH better than not making playoffs and getting something like the 7-9 pick. If you don't get one of the top 2 picks (and that is assuming oden and durant both come out) i don't think it really matters where you pick after that...and i'm pretty sure the celts and grizz have those picks locked. by the way, let's say the w's get the 8th spot...and the mavs get the #1 seed. History would suggest it could be very interesting.

let me guess

you thought barnes was the s--- during his stretch of 20+ point games. i know there's a tendency for fans to overrate players on their own team, but let's not get carried away here.
