what we DO need is a FRIGGEN POST THREAT MY GOD. PF FRIGGIN NEEDED!!!!

PG is by far the biggest need.

Our guards all have that “shoot first” mentality.

CJ can’t run a fast break consistently to save his life. He’s not very creative off the dribble and has adequate handles. Doesn’t play consistent defense anymore.

Crawford is a shooter first, distributor second.

Nelson is a converted SG. He is not a very good shooter as well.

Belinelli is also a shooter first, playmaker second. Flashes potential as a playmaker, but is turnover prone due to inexperience.

Add them all up and maybe we’d have a full fledged NBA quality PG!!!

Come on, if you can’t see that the Warrior’s biggest need right now is for a true PG, then we’re not watching the same game. Tonight’s game was truly ugly. A true PG would get the ball to players in open spots (ideally). This would help our team FG, which has been sub 40 for the last couple of games.

Let me add that imo, we had the least talented 5 man group on the court tonight in Miami. A Watson-Nelson-Morrow-Azuibuke-Turiaf combination is 4 undrafted players and one second rounder on the court. I don’t even think Miami’s roster had this many undrafted players last year. It’s a testament to how poorly we’ve collected talent over the years if we had to use the D-league this many times.

Also, I think some of Wright’s ineffectiveness the last couple of games have directly coincided with Jack’s injuries. Wright is a guy that right now needs his shots set up for him. He gets 70% of his FG’s assisted. The rest he probably cleans up off the glass. Looking at the roster right now, there is only two playmakers that can feed the ball to players like Wright—Belinelli and Crawford. But they haven’t really been looking for Wright anyway. If we can get a true PG, i’d love to see how they can generate offense for Wright and Randolph.

But he just might fit the bill. Experienced with a good understanding of the game and can play defense. Most importantly – he is available and could provide some guidance to Wright/Randolph.

On a similar note – what about Earl Watson – he might be a good fit for the team and provide some guidance to Monte.

These guys are probably available providing little in return.

we don’t need a cheap fix. not even a marginally expensive fix. we either need to sign a superstar or draft one, end of story. and the position he plays doesn’t matter either but IMO the bigger the better lmao.

Funny and true. That PF is out there, we just have to get lucky in the draft. This is Blake Griffin to a T. The point we should keep our eye on is James Harden from Az. State. 6’5’’ lead guard for a uptempo Pac. 10 team.

I hope this puts to rest anyone here who is loyal too, or thinks Nellie is the right fit for this team. If this article does not scare you into seeing how close this team is to another decade+ of disaster, please do not respond. My favorite part is how Mullin vetoed the mere thought of trading Monta, and now this organization looks like it will get rid of Mullin and keep crazy old man Nellie to run this organization into the ground….again

Did you guys forget about him?

man If I was only 6-10.
I’m only 5-10 190 pounds

he is the most overrated coach in the history of the nba. his career winning pct is only about 53, and if you take out his years in milwuakee (a lifetime ago), it is way worse. Then his playoff winning pct is actually a LOSING pct, and if you only count his tours with the warriors, it barley registers. the romantic memories of the run-tmc years were false—that group only made the playoffs twice, and only won one round.
That group is eerily similar to what nellie continues to this day—a blind refusal to bring defense and rebounding to ANY of his teams (see his dallas years as well). he SHOULD have gotten david lee or zach randolph for harrington, NOT another offensive player. of course, lee only shoots 60% and only gets 10pt and 8 reb in 25 min—nothing nellie is interested in. why? because lee cannot run up and down the court aimleesly while jacking up head-bangingly clanking 3’s (he has only taken 5 in his entire career). nellie would not take charles oakley in his prime for the same reasons. look at all the players—tall, skinny greyhounds, and each year they get skinnier and taller, so they can be pushed out of the block with ONE FINGER!
nellie’s teams will always be slightly entertaining, but in the end, much like a diet soda—no calories and a bitter aftertaste.

and those dallas teams never even made it to the show, let alone won it.
as for awards, they are all meaningless and self-indulging—much like nellie himself.

and so are you for REFUSING to recognize it. he leaves teams in disarray, except dallas which took ANOTHER coach to do what nellie could not. worse, nellie, like yourself, refuses to recognize—that his idiotic nellie-ball system is a sham and WILL NEVER produce a respectable long-term winner.

you’re asking for chris paul and david west.
