...Way to step up there Rick

then how did MIN ending up not moving players when GS and CHA do? unless it is stated in Tim's article, then why?

that the reason we don't have kg right now is because they drafted wright instead of thornton.  i think that this guy has lost it.

Then that significantly hurts our chances on KG going forward from here, as the deal required Charlotte and Al Thornton, both of which are pretty much impossible to involve now. Guess we'll have to get used to Wright.

i love KG. he's the man. but he's also 31. i really dont wanna give up monta and wright and al and someone else for KG. it really doesnt seem worth it.  Monta might be our most exciting player next season and i cant wait to see how much better he's gotten.. let's remember, he's learning under BD, Monta is about to be the truth in a second. Even BD the boss says so. i dont see why nobody wants monta here anymore. seriously.. i got a lot more wins for us then he cost us.
Brandan Wright is projected to be the next Bosh. in high school he was among Durant and Oden. He is a top three prospect, and i really was (am?) looking forward to seeing him play.
Al, aside from his weaknesses, adds A LOT of versatility to our team. I think we're all taking that for granted. He can do so much to cause havoc for the opposing big men, because he's got a huge offensive skill set that can always be used to his advantage.
uh, if biedrins has to go i mos def would hate this trade. biedrins is awesome. need i say more? he's really our only center that plays. if we HAD to make this KG trade, we definintely cant let go of both biedrins and wright.

Honestly, i think if the team we have now meshes well, we could already be a contender in the west. Really. what teams lower than us last year will be playoff teams next year? Portland has a shot, but def. not a lock, clippers- they didn't get much better (al thornton is sick though). New orleans maybe, but not better than us. how about the lakers? with their team right now, we should be better than them. i honestly think we can get a better record than houston, and i'm not sure how denver will do. year by year, the spurs and suns' franchise players are getting older and older. how much longer will nash be good for? duncan?

B. Wright. Belinelli. Monta. Biedrins. that could be a sick future. you're probably all saying, Portland's squad will tear us apart by that time. I bet you Portland's squad wont be as great as you think. Pretty much they're whole team is young and raw and several of them will be asking for a lot of money in the next couple years. Sure they can be really good, but that's not for sure. Seattle will be weak for the next couple years, Memphis.... uhh twolves- rebuilding.. sac- not quite playoff team. lakers- not improving.

what i'm trying to say is.. maybe in two or three years, if we can stay together with this squad, we might be extremely talented at a time when nash and duncan begin to decline and the top seeds in the west won't be as dominant. Jazz will still be strong, but we had them.. we would have had them if we could get more boards. (B. Wright and Biedrins) Mavs will probably be strong for the next years... but, you already know. we own the mavs.

pretty much i'm saying that i see our chances of winning better in 3 years with the squad right now, as opposed to winning this year by trading all of our young prospects minus belinelli. i dont know why so many people here are willing to give so much for KG. we really won't be as exciting to watch. And we really won't be as run n gun. I love KG, but i think i like this warriors squad as it is. one.

"i dont see why nobody wants monta here anymore. seriously.. i got a lot more wins for us then he cost us."

that second "i" is supposed to be "he," monta.

Take a look at the last 10 or so NBA Championship teams, they all share something in common.  Each and everyone of those squads has a hall-of-fame type big man, and it's no coincidence either.

Until the second coming of Michael Jordan, that theory probably will hold true.  Biedrins will not lead us to a ring, Harrington will not lead us to a ring, but KG certainly is the type of hall-of-fame type big man who could.

tim kawakami is an idiot.  and who cares this is in the past.  what point does this story accomplish for anyone?  tim is just so hungry for kg that he has to write a pointless story.

i remember tim said the warriors were going to lose against dallas before the series started.  when the warriors won game 1, he was all over their nuts, writing "the warriors own the mavs".  it woulda been nice to have written the story before the series started.  he is an idiot.
