Who to blame?

We went from the most exciting team in the league after upsetting the Mavs two year's ago to this?!

Last season we lose first six games and Nellie burned out his starters and we STILL won 48 games and now, this?!

We have a chance to improve the 3 and 4 spot by playing Wright more and drafting AR - but now, this?!

We could have used the mid level trade exception to get a decent backup PG to spell Baron and we did not - leading to this!

How did this all happen so fast? Is it the owners being cheap, the GM being out-GM'd on draft night? Baron being selfish? The management lowballing Baron? Is it circumstances out of the team's control?

On one level I think the answer to the above questions are yes, to some degree.

When I look back at the potential I felt after than upset over Dallas around the future for this squad - and reflect on where we sit today, I am sick to my stomach to see that we are squandering so much.

Now, if we get Baron back I worry about the great team chemistry we had in the past - I worry about Nellie and baron seeing eye to eye - I worry about so much. If we let him walk we will be back at the bottom of the league again - at least for a couple years. If we do a sign and trade it may be good - but I can't think of a proven PG who can even hold Baron's jock strap that we could get out of it. The best PGs are all staying put.

It makes me want to curl up with my We Believe shirt and cry myself to sleep. OK - its not that bad - but its bad.

huh?

If you noticed, many of the question dealt with bizness decisions (ie poor gm, cheap owner, etc). If no one is to blame when the business is falling apart does that mean no one is due credit when a team does well? I’m unclear. yes it isa biz – a very competitive one and invovles real people making real decisions.

We're doing a pretty good job

youre judging whats going to happen before it happens… Why dont you just sit tight and stop crying about things you have no control over.

They want to go young

obviously the warriors just want to rebuild because they see no chance of winning a title and are tired of fighting for the 8th spot in a crowded western conference. they are just trying to gather young talent that they feel will be real good in a few years we can already see star qualities in Monta, Andris, Brandon Wright, and Kelena Azuibuke so why not gather some more up and allow them to build great chemistry so they can woop some ass in a couple years, the warriors can be real scary in a couple years they just need a good young and explosive backup center (Deandre Jordan) and a couple young point guards ( Jamont Gordon, Javaris Critteton)
