wouldnt have traded away j rich. that was mistake number 1. that playoff nucleus should have at least been allowed to play one full season together to see what they could do. i dont care how much money it would have cost. number 2, i wouldnt have let baron walk. thats for sure. and i dont think anyone would disagree now.
usually you rebuild a team after they have won or gotten real close to winning a championship, or have a lot of old players. we finally got good and fun to watch again and then it was one bad move after another. hopefully mully can pull one more big “baron davis for speedy claxton” type trade

Frankly, given the contracts that have been handed out, I don’t think it’s realistic to think championship anytime in the next four or five years and indeed, they’ve hamstrung themselves for even being able to improve much towards a playoff team. They’ve really made a mess of things. The only realistic way to improve now is to get lucky in the draft or have someone on the team develop beyond a realistic projection.

id get a coach who was not mentally retarded and gets a ton of guards and pisses off the GM

1. Fire Nellie, promote Keith Smart as head coach
2. Give consistent minutes to the young talents with some extra minutes for Wright and Randolph to play alongside each other at the 3 and 4
3. Try to make a run at trading for Boozer or Amare, although this seems almost impossible, giving it a try wont hurt, Boozer and Amare are both going to opt out soon and their current teams might trade them before that, you never know…
4. Lower the price tickets a little
5. Sit back and enjoy

…and let it be known that I don’t presume to be a genius of any kind. But here are a few.

1. Consolidate the power within the organization. Right now, I have no idea who’s calling the shots. Could be Nelson, Mullin, Rowell, or maybe Chris Cohan just sits in a bathtub full of kitten blood all day and phones in orders. Ideally, I presume I’m the general manager in this scenario, right? So I’d need to have it be clear that I was the final say on personnel decisions.

2. I’d talk to Don Nelson, all his coaches, as well as all the players on the team to get a sense of what people’s different perspectives are going forward.

3. Recognizing that the season is a lost cause, I would wait ten to fifteen games to see if Nelson can be in any way convinced to give starting time to Brandan Wright. If he can’t be, I’d begin actively (but not publicly) searching for possible replacements. Avery Johnson and Maurice Cheeks would be guys I’d want to look into. It’s worth noting that the time at which I start seeking replacements can be moved forward if Don Nelson ever decides to start Rob Kurz again.

4. I would shop Kelenna Azubuike along with Corey Maggette. Maggette never should have happened, and it might help getting rid of him to throw in a solid, inexpensive pro like Kelenna.

5. I’d take a nice, long bubble bath. And then I’d intoxicate myself with marijuana. And then I’d stare at the ceiling for a few minutes. After which I’d scream something obscene upon remember we extended Jackson.

That’s an early list, I admit.

trading, because that’s the easy way out. This is the “LEAGUE” where everyone, or atleast just about everyone can play. So im going to address this problem without trading for the Amares, Boozers or other superstars we are not getting (LOL). Even though i did love when Baron was here, he went out drinking before a huge game that we needed to make the playoffs (lost respect from me). Without someone of that caliber that can create for himself they can still create for others in Nellys system.
First by getting a better understanding of the strengths and weaknesses in Nellys system. In order to play fast paced small ball without a crafty PG the W’s would have to play more 2 or 3 man games right out of the break. Roll the none shooters and spot up the shooters. Guys that have proven to get hot run them off screens and spot up and shoot OPEN 3’s. This would allow them to catch and shoot by stepping into the shot andnot just throwing it up of the dribble. Shooting less out of rhythm 3’s and more driving to the basket to bail yourself out. By doing this it would force officials to make more calls which equates to more FREEthrows and would put other teams players in foul trouble. That would help in the 4th quarter where the W’s seem to struggle. Rebounding….either commit or get back on defense no more guys in no mans land. Im tired of seeing Andris + maybe another guy, depending on who is in, going to the boards and the rest of guys daydreaming around half court… DEFEND THE FASTBREAK!!! If Andris or whoever gets the O board let them finish it or if they decide to bring it back out you can run back to offense with a chance at a perfect 3 with the defense scrambling and the shooter stepping into a shot or he could drive passed the over committed defender.
   Jackson, who is a great player, is not a player that can consistently create for himself. He needs to know his role and limitations. I see him more as a “JACK” OF ALL TRADES. He is not perfect at one thing but has multiple great/good aspects to his game. He needs to utilize all of his game and not shoot as much. He needs to build his confidence back up by using his size and leadership to create for others first and himself second. I see his needed role as being more of a glue then this shoot first or no look pass player. Also, Stephen Jack no more complaining to officials during defensive fastbreaks…those points still count.
I could go on a while but i dont want to, they get beat up enough during games. The truth is we have a very young team thats trying to find themselves and getting rid of them is not gonna help. Let the young talent develop within a role and let them struggle..a little. My game plan tweak would help the W’s compete with teams in games when Jack and Crawford are not shooting well and also allow them to play their young talent.

STILL GO WARRIORS!!!!!!!!!!

He isnt playing to his strengths right now. Last year he has someone to create for him so he didnt have to force up his slow a$$ shot. He shoots better stepping into his shot in rhythm. He also seems to feed off other emotional players, so as he gets other players in the game his game would get better too.

1. Fire Don Nelson

He’s definitely an innovator and knows how to get the most out of talent, but I think he is the wrong coach for this roster. We need a coach that is willing to at least attempt to develop young talent as well as instill a defensive mindset.

2. I would write a public apology letter to the loyal fans for the franchise previously destroying their souls.

3. I would want this lineup, or something close to it:

pg- ellis 36 / williams 12 / watson
sg- belinelli 36 / morrow 12
sf- randolph 12 / jackson 36 / maggette
pf- wright 24 / turiaf 24
c- turiaf 12 / biedrins 36

Priority #1: give our young talent a chance.

Marcus Williams would be played. He’s the only real PG we have on this team, FG% be damned. So far we’ve seen what an offense is like without a go-to post scorer and without a real PG who can handle and pass the ball like a PG, and it ain’t pretty.

Belinelli will play and act as “PG” when Monta Ellis is playing next to him, Ellis playing the “SG” role on offense. Ellis will guard the PG and Belinelli will guard the SF. Under no circumstances will Belinelli or Morrow guard forwards.

Randolph will be played, and he will start and will learn how to be a defensive stud in this league against the best of the best.

Wright and Ronny will start and both get plenty of minutes for plenty of defense. Yes, Biedrins will come off of the bench because he can’t guard any starting center. But he will absolutely dominate offensively against second-string centers.

Azubuike is a black hole on offense, not much better than Maggette. Maggette is just Maggette, he’s never been a winning basketball player and he’ll never be a winning basketball player. Same with Jamal Crawford, even though he’s fun to watch. Azubuike, Maggette, and Crawford will be benched and traded away for their worth: expiring contracts and draft picks. Kurz will go to the D-League and score 30+ ppg. And stay in the D-League.

Then we sit and wait until a disgruntled superstar becomes available through trade (if we have developed our trading chips) or until we get lucky in the draft.

Kobes
Joe Johnsons
D Wades
Brandon Roys
Ray Allens
Allen Iversons
Tracy Mcgradys
Manu Ginobilis
and sit Andris…the only consistent warrior???
I dont know about that one.

If I were management, I would’ve kept J Rich and Baron. Resigned Pietrus, and signed Turiaf. Traded Harrington away for Gerald Wallace. I would have also tried to find a way to get David Lee from the Knicks

Our lineup would be

PG: Davis/Ellis/Watson/Nelson
SG: J Rich/Ellis/Belinelli/Morrow
SF: Jackson/Azubuike/Randolph
PF: Wallce/Lee/Randolph
C: Biedrins/Turiaf

need i say more???????

and if you pay me just half of the $20 million that nellie’s made, then i will.
