I haven't heard to much about why Baron really left.  I understand he is from LA and into making the movies, so I see that angle.  But, RealGm has Baron saying he felt lied to and he totally expected to come back to the Bay.  He also mentions that he felt Warrior management felt they had to go in a different direction.  I'm having trouble figuring out what that direction is exactly?  Is it Monta at the 1?  Because I'm not sure I would give up a superstar like Baron Davis to experiment with Monta at the 1.  Or did management just want to clear the books to make a run at free agency these next few years and build around Ellis, Biedrins, Randolph, and Wright?  I'm not sure, it just doesn't make much sense to me to not want to resign your marquee player.  The Warriors don't get to the Playoffs much, much less the Semis, and with the decline of the Mavs and Suns imminent, the Warriors had a few more years if they could have held on to Baron. 

I know I may be exhausting this point, but this article got me thinking again.  Just wanted to get some opinions on the issue as to what actually happened between Baron and management, and if management truly did not want to resign Baron, then is there a real problem with Warrior management and are they truly committed to winning? 

Here is the RealGM article
