Movement to Bring Back Kelenna!

YES. BRING BACK SPECIAL K

I’m a big fan or Kelenna Azubuike and I really believe that he has a lot of potential. In the past I’ve heard that he doesn’t have that high of a ceiling, he’s inconsistent, etc..etc.., BUT he’s still learning and he’s shown a lot of growth from his college years at UK. In the past I’ve seen a lot of dunking and above the rim plays, but I feel he’s really developing other parts of his game such as the mid range jumper and his ability to guard players bigger than him. Give him starter minutes and his stats will jump. He has a solid stat line. One weakness I hope Kelenna Azubuike can improve on are his assists. Other than that, SOLID PLAYER. Azubuike can play, and he has basket ball smarts which is really important. Most of all, I feel he has something to prove to himself which is always good for competition. :) He could definitely have a break out year and be that x-factor like you said.

Moreover, although he was undrafted, I feel that he is a much better player than some of the drafted players such as Jordan Farmar, or Jarrett Jack. (NO DISRESPECT to them because I know they are good NBA players. I am merely comparing their play and statistics with Kelenna’s AND yes, I know that the positions they play are different.)

I’ve been wondering whether or not the Warriors would re-sign him, but I haven’t read or heard anything about a reached agreement. He definitely deserves a bigger contract and I hope the Warriors are NOT willing to part ways with him.

Bring back Kelenna, He’s got JRich heart and toughness He’s earned a spot on the team and a decent contract
Also stop playin mind games with Mikael and design a game plan to maximize his skills. We need his defense and could use his offense if it was utilized properly.

off the bench. And he shut down Kobe in their series vs. the Lakers. Good rebounding, and has the Guns of Naverone. Strong at the 2 or 3. Proven and in Nelly’d favor unlike Belinelli. He’ll be back unless he gets a great offer from another team, which is not unlikely.

I wonder if BW got his braces off yet. I think Nelly said that was the main reason he was riding the bench, because he was an NBA player with braces.

he will be back -if only W’s will not find someone better 4 same price (what i really doubt)
Kelenna > Pietrus

Buk is a very good young player at a good price. If he came out after 3 years of
college he would be a lottery pick. He’s got a solid game with a good attitude and ….did i mention he likes to play defense and rebound? This is a must resign. I ‘d rather have him than Barnes back if I had a choice.

Of all the talk about bringing back Monta and Biedrins, I think that we should try as hard as possible to bring back Kelenna also.

I’d say this is an overstatement, but agree that Kelenna should be brought back.

Agreed about Kelenna, the Warriors should bring him back, but I’d have to say no on Pietrus. Kelenna has the right price tag, even with opting out, but Pietrus will come at too high a price, I would think. He definitely gives great energy when he is on, but is way too inconsistent to merit resigning.

I think that re-signing Monta and Beans are obviously priority #1 but bringing Buike back to this team whose bench is miserably thin (almost non-existent) as I type this is almost a no-brainer. He is efficient offensively, rebounds extremely well for his position (very important on this team) and has shown that when motivated and healthy he can play some very good D (see games vs Kobe).

However despite the nice showings against KB24 I do have to be fair and say that on a night in and night out basis his D is still too weak. He let’s his man blow by him on the perimeter way too often. Some of this may be due to his knee injury last season but I worry that it might just be a lack of lateral quickness. He handles himself well defending the post and is a pretty good weak side shot blocker (for a guard) but if he is iso’d up against a guard with any kind of quickness you can pretty much book it.

With all things considered, including his age and the fact that he has shown the ability to work hard and improve his game, if we can get this guy for around 3 mil per DO IT!!

Look, Air France may be explosive, but he is a streaky shooter, a belw average FT shooter, and only plays D when he can block a shot. Some teams love his athletic ability and want tp play him 4-6 mil. why would we pay a guy who doesn’t always show up and complains during hard times the money that we pay stackjax. Buike has the heart of j-rich, plays tough D everynight, and shoots over 55% from the 3 point wings. Barnes we could take for under 2 mil. I love his attitude and deserves a second chance.

MP2 should be gone with the wind. Someone dumb enough will sign him for what he thinks he should get. Me, I think 2.5 mil a year is about what he deserves-maybe 3 mil. Just get him outta here. He really does miss easy layups, freethrows and can’t hit a 3 anywhere except on the baseline. We can do better.

On the otherhand. KEEP THE WIZARD OF AZ!!! He is one of the most underrated players in the entire NBA and he helps us out more than Peitrus. Buike is the poster child for heart, desire and determination. He may not be the most skilled player on the Dubs, but he can board with anyone on the team. There are many other reaason why I think we should keep him, but one of them is this:
