U Should Stay in LA baron. BOOO

WE NEED AN AGENT ZERO MOVEMENT

interesting. I knew it most likely was leaving, but that was quick. Time for us to move on. The Baron chapter was great, but there’s plenty of good players out there. Plus, now we have some money to work with.

this really, really blows. i say aim for josh smith – he’s 22, healthy and we still cant match what wizards can give agent zero.

I’m sure Brand will be staying. Otherwise why would BD want to play with the Clippers. Brand will take less money to get Baron there.

We have two future Josh Smith players in Wright in Randolph. It would stunt their development and be a waste of money to sign him.

are RFA for a reason. Josh Smith. Andre Iguodala, etc.

You will not often see teams match players of those caliber.

Baron is playing with Brand. Get used to it. They’re both movie producers. They’re both LA guys. Clippers will be back in the playoffs. Time to rebuild.

We should start shopping Jackson and Al. Try to get some lottery picks/future picks out of them.

blows.

thanks baron for all u done. then again thanks for stabing us in the back these last 24 hours. wow. i mean just wow.

for the memories, BDiddy.

Does Baron become the most hated man in Warriors hoops history now or do we appreciate those 2 good years?

how Hornets fans felt…..Good luck to Baron.

1. He wanted a longer term extension that the Warriors did not want to give him.

2. With Nelly’s proclamation of getting the young’ns more minutes, it signaled that maybe we weren’t really dedicated to winning anything more than regular season games.

3. With letting the TE expire, it just more than confirmed the aforementioned.

4. He wanted to go home.

Can’t fault Baron for making the decision to leave.

You can fault him for waiting so damn long to make the decision to opt-out and that’s what stings most.

We drafted with the notion we’d have him back…

Good luck Baron…and screw you at the same time.

who would’ve thought then that we’d be without Baron and JRich?

I am heartbroken. And trading JRich just bit us in the butt. We could afford him now. Imagine Monta, JRich, SJax, Big All and Beans….with Wright, Belli, Buike, and Randolph off the bench. I like it. jeez…I’m rambling because I don’t know what to say….I’m so sad right now.

is there any good pg prospects out there in college now like deron williams and chris paul? i mean it looks like we’re back in the lottery for a while so it would seem best to know theres somethin to get at the end of this possible hell of a season

he fuct us up! no jRich, no boom…just POB, Kosta and a bunch of skinny, tall lefties

now we can move on to rebuild mode. Again.
Hopefully Mullin has something under his sleeves.

Worse than J-rich leaving? We kicked J-rich out. B-diddy is selfish, and wants guaranteed money, even though reportedly we offered him more than the Clips.

Givin him more than $70 million would have been team suicide. Look at it this way: the Clips are self-destructing

karma’s a bitch

listening to knbr. we were offering in the area of 15 mil a year. But the difference is, we weren’t offering him a 5 year contract. He wanted to go to LA. Thats the jist of it.

http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/story/8303278/Report:-Davis-to-ditch-Warriors-for-Clippers

this is ridiculous. $50 million?

he has the look of a sellout in that picture with elton brand on ESPN. Welcome to the land of fake LA Baron!

is dumb, I have to think GS offered him something like 14 mil a year, if not I am mad.

What’s wrong with giving him guaranteed money? The man wanted to win he just wanted job security! The front office didn’t want to give it to him and only wanted to milk what was left of him and then let him go. Whose more messed up?

A guy who wanted to stay and play long term or a team who just wanted to milk the guy and then throw him out?

with Monta on the court at the same time = disaster. Both will always want the ball in their hands and the shots. I say we get Maggette. I think both could do pretty well together on the court.

Look, we lost a great player and a guy who brought bball back to the bay – I’ll always love him for that.
But, I’d rather lose him a year early than resign him for five years to big money and limit our ability to improve the roster (see Knicks as an extreme example). Maybe we will end up getting a decent pg like Mo Williams and draft our future CP3 or deron williams in next years guard heavy draft.
Also, I think this team still has enough talent to make a playoff run if other guys step up. I guess we’ll see.

Baron Davis breaks his hand while signing the contract, then when he is walking to the hospital he tears some very important muscle while tripping onto Elton Brand who then breaks his back

baron is a joke…..we have to make something happen now or else its back to the lottery

approach. Verbal deals just that. They can fall apart in an instance. Remember Boozer bolting for the jazz, after he had the Cavs had an “understanding”

was never a good guy. I don’t know why you guys are feeling so betrayed. But he played hard and took us to playoffs, those are good times.

not baron’s fault. mullin is just a bad gm, has a bad track record. no idea what he’s doing. he just be studying kevin pritchard intently, because that guy has taken a mediocre team, and put them in position to be the best team in the league for years to come

he should just*

Baron served the Warriors well, he made them relevant again in ‘07 and ‘08. But its not the end of the world. Giving him huge $$ is not good. He’s played one full season in the past 6 years. There is a strong chance he breaks down in 2 years and then you’re stuck owing him another $40M? Not strong business.

JRich? Very limited player. Brandon will be better in the long run.

Mully? Think back 3 years ago, it was JRich, Murphy and Dunleavy. Now its Monta, Biedrins and Wright with Randolph, SJax and Harrington. He knows what he’s doing. The Warriors are better than when he started.

Let’s hope somehow the W’s can get Deng; that would be pretty nice.

Key is that Monta next year will be more efficient than Baron.

SInce Baron is gone along with his 18 mil, we can trade for players without worrying too much about matching the contracts. My Proposals.

AL for Marion
David Lee for a draft pick
We sign either Duhon or Pargo
Use the rest of the $$$ to see if we can get Odom.

I know it hurts but lets start looking to the future. A year of tanking and letting our youngins learn to play together wont hurt. Next year we will have a high lottery pick (better than being mediocre year after year and missing out on the good stuff) and some cap space to sign some free agents and we could be a very good team. We just need to be patient.

...but I still appreciate what Baron did for us. But I don’t want to hear talk about Monta running the point – he should stay a two, and we need to get somebody for the point as soon as possible. I hope CJ gets a lot of practice in. Man, it’s going to be a long season.

Dare I say it, but Nellie has always left his teams in the middle of the season. That’s exactly how he’s going out next year. Well, I’m saving $$$ on tickets this year, that’s for sure. And not just falling prices, not going as much either.

i just got fired today now this happened i love baron

everyone blaming Baron has to see the full situation. GS low balled him…offering only a 2 year deal…while at the same time floating out a 5 year max deal to Arenas. LA walks in with a 5 year deal…and considering Baron’s injury problems…it’s a no brainer to take it. time to move on people…

but the way he did it left us in the worst possible situation – after the TE expired and after the draft. We really have no assets to use to get a good point guard except our cap space, unless we want to break up our core.

Here comes the Monta Ellis era. Lets see what he can do.

but suck it up. Baron did not betray us. He’s a goddamn hero round these here parts for his magical touch during last year’s playoffs and I will admire him forever for that. The management gave him a two year offer, he wanted more years, he made it clear he wanted more years, we didn’t cave in, and now it’s clear he didn’t cave in either.

Now that we have so much salary, we should definitely not blow it on Arenas and just start the youth movement for 2010, when we can be major players and entice free agents to play along with some rising stars including Ellis, Biedrins, and hopefully a couple from the Wright/Randolph/Belinelli/Azubuike/Hendrix/even possibly Watson (lots of time at the PG spot to be had now). Oh, and maybe some veteran role players like S Jack on his downside. If LeBron is looking for a supporting cast, he could do a lot better than the Nets or the Knicks. Come to the Bay LeBron! Deliver us a championship!

I’m taking a ten year hiatus from being a Warriors fan. Mullin made his allegiances clear, so he better stick to that.

his boi got traded last summer, so he kinda feel empty without J-rich being his partner in crime. Anyway, I got nothing toward BD. He still my boi, got nothing but love for him. The only thing i’m going to hate on him is his ass didn’t give us back nothing in return. At least give us Brand. I be happy with him or Eric Gordon and a 1st round pick. than we could have Gordan and AR slashing and running and gunning on ppl. Or we trade 4-5 ppl for Bron Bron. Anything in return will helps.

This is officially the lowest we have been in years. Our best player gone and evidence that our top brass has no clue.

We let the cheap front office/cohan know how we feel and boycott the Warriors until the necessary changes are made.

sad thing is that ill probably still buy a b diddy jearsy

which sites. lol i want to see it.

Naturally, another explosive shock to the Warriors ala Webber to the Bullets as many of you have mentioned. The truth is, the Arenas offer is a move of desperation. You had better offer a friggin deal to the best superstar available because now we’re left kicking rocks with your hand in your pants by losing two of our franchise players in a couple years FOR ABSOLUTELY NADA. This obviously shows that the Warriors , correction, Mullin, got played like a game of checkers by getting played with the declination of the Garnett deal. Now I must admit the Chauncey Billups and Josh Smith might be interesting as smearthebeard mentioned, my only cause for worry is if the intensity and/or chemistry would still exist. Real talk, thats what the 2006-2008 had, which made the team competitive. Now in a very crowded Western Conference, my REALISTIC view is that if you didn’t win with Baron, you can’t win with this team without him. The truth of the matter is, the team we currently have, ” orbited ” around Baron. Albiet if I’m Mullin and Nellie, and if you know the Warriors management from the past 20 years, you should already know and expect this coming from their mouths, ” It is completely unfortunate regarding the loss of Davis, however, as a franchise we have the ultimate commitment in our younger players and trust in Monta Ellis will be the superstar caliber player we hope him to be-—FOR THE FUTURE. ” Could Monta be another AI, probably not, with the loss of BDiddy. Teams like the Lakers, Spurs, and Hornets will be on him like white on rice and force him to distribute. The loss of Davis will affect his game. The Warriors like the open floor but without anyone else penetrating that creates Ellis’ game as one dimensional forcing him to shoot from perimeter or distribute without anyone besides SJAX and Harrington to create. psst yea right. Cuz If I know the Warriors they’re gonna bank on Monta and Company to sell out games and compete. SO Good luck! Let’s continue to Hope GSOM folks and longtime Warrior fans, cuz I swear if this ends up being another 13 year drought , you could best BELIEVE - it was another of our own that gave us the cheers, and then the same player who gave us the jeers.

FYI Baron did what he wanted for his own sake. No question. Being closer to LA, will allow him to focus more on his independent film career producing along the likes with the Hollywood elite i.e Cash Warren, and be closer to his family ie his grandmother. If HE was really faithful, he wouldnt of called Mully, Nellie, SJAX and the team, and told them he was staying. That allowed the Warriors to sit on their friggin thumb and LOSE THE ABILITY TO EXERCISE the trade exception to possibly send Baron to another sub 500 team like we played JRICH. ITS A BUSINESS man, and he’s showed the Warriors the BIDNESS. Baron worked the system and looked out for his own interests, regardless of his supposed affinity for the Bay. Real talk, it was a wash. The Warriors had their playoff push and got their best Regular season record, in turn, the Warriors revitalized his career. So in the end, Mully got played and so did the franchise, so did all of us. Too bad for the Clips he aint got 5 years on him. So to all the Warrior faithful, remain hopeful, definitely remain patient, and for pete’s sake remain logical because if this YOUTH MOVEMENT is what you’re relying on to compete with the West ,youre playing yourself. Especially when you gotta team like Portand with a younger and better squad. OUR BENCH looks like Band Camp rejects. Dont believe me ? Name one of them that contributed last year or better yet, name one that Nellie played ? Now dont say Azibuke because he might just be next years starting SG…..BELIEVE THAT!!!

MULLY HAD BETTER WORK SOMETHING OUT THIS OFFSEASON!!

What front office we have. Baron leaves and they offer Gilbert $100 million? Obviously the Warriors don’t want Baron. So Baron had a kiss my ass deal from the Clippers, whats next? How the hell do they offer Arenas when we didn’t extend Ellis and Andris… The Warriors are the joke of the NBA again, its Nellie, Cohen, and Mullin’s fault!

FYI Run TMC ended after 3 high octane seasons when Nellie traded Mitch ” The Rock” Richmond to the Kings for an unproven lottery pick in Billy Owens. Thanks to that trade, the Warriors are still being compared to that offensive team.

Richmond is one of only seven players in NBA history to average at least 21 points per game for his first 10 seasons – along with Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Michael Jordan, Oscar Robertson, Shaquille O’Neal and Allen Iverson.

Thanks Warriors management. Great job!

like i got dumped.

Josh Smith..it will ease the pain just a little bit. I’m going to be reminded about this every day..I go to UCLA. AHHHH!!!

i would love to see gilbert or josh smith, but i would hafta say maggette because hes a UFA and nobody else (besides the sixers and griz) can offer him a significant deal. if neither of them want maggette (sixers rumored to be after RFA josh smith also) we can lowball him and sign him either to a small deal or the midlevel exception.

also i agree with taking a flyer on livingston. he is tall, quick and a very good passer with the potential to be a very good defender. if he heals at all he could be the perfect complement and backcourt mate for monta.

that everyone is just jumping on Baron. He didn’t do it all for the money, its the length of the deal that mattered. The Warriors would not give him a long-term deal or anything over two years. I know Mully was probably worried about overspending or getting backlash that he made another dumbass move like the oversized deals he handed Murphy and Dunleavy but this deal would have been worth it. Sure, there would have been some fans that criticized Mully if he gave Baron a long term deal, but they would have been outweighed by everyone else that was so glad to have him back. No player ever brought what Baron has to this franchise. He brought so much fire and heart onto the court with him each game. I’ve been watching the Warriors since I was in 4th grade. I’ve had to sit through Todd Fuller, Bimbo Coles, Erick Dampier, and so many others. When Baron came to the Warriors, I was excited. We hadn’t had an All-Star caliber player in years. He had so much life in him. After a year and a half under Montgomery, Mully brought back Nellie and a whole new brand of Warrior basketball was born. I’m not ready for that to end, and I think that the Warriors should have pounced on Baron the second he opted out, instead of sprinting to Arenas and Brand. I don’t want him to leave, but I also don’t blame him. After being the heart and soul of the Warriors and leading them to their greatest run in years, for them to say that he isn’t worth their money and that him retiring a Warrior isn’t that important to them, I imagine that would sting Baron just as bad as him leaving for the Clippers is stinging us. I wish you good luck, Baron. And thank you.

to agree with gunwing54, really is a slap in the face to Baron. It basically says “Fuck you, you wanna leave? I’m gonna throw 5 times as much money at Gilbert. Go ahead. You ain’t shit.” Gilbert and Baron are both great players, but in different ways. I, of course, would rather keep Baron, but if somehow, the Warriors miraculously land Arenas AND Brand (I doubt it), that lineup is a tad scary:

G Arenas
G Ellis
F Jackson
F Brand
C Biedrins
