Words of Wisdom from a stoned roomate
With the departure of Baron Davis, my roomate broke it down quite eloquently while blazzing on our balcony, "my only goal in life is to make 300M so I can buy the warriors and not scre our team over like Cohen." I hope he reaches that goal for obvious reasons. Cohen has been keeping us down for years, but now it is time for him to put up or shut up. He should either embrace this rebuilding phase and give mullin the reigns to go all out or look to sell the team to an owner who is more dedicated to their fans and players and not business. Cohen is the cancer to this team.
We are both die hard Warriors fans and have stuck it out through thick and thin. And now it seems inevitably again we are about to spiral down into thin. Yet, all may not be lost if Cohen sacks up and takes some chances and forks out the dough. Because I fear if we do not fork out the money, we may lose everything (monta and beans) even though they are both restricted free agents. I mean who honestly wants to stay in a Warrior uniform right now being a young phenom with ownership not doing anything to try to improve the team. In the past 3 years we have lost both of our emotional leaders and hometown heroes in J-Rich and Baron. In all hoensty, it is poetic justice that we lost Baron the way we did because we outright told J-Rich we were not going to trade him the day before the draft and what do we do? We cut all ties with J-Rich and yes it may have been a business move, but I am tired of us doing business moves to free up cap. Jesus Cohen fork out the dough and try to do something because the fans and players deserve it.
Anyways, here is a thought that could help our future:
I believe the Warriors now should try to sign Josh Smith and offer him a front loaded deal that the Hawks will have a hard time matching. I mean we have so much cap space right its comical. If we were able to sign Josh Smith, then I think Monta and Beans for sure will not leave and we will have an unbelievably young core to build around.
Potential Roster:
PG Stat Jack / CJ Watson
SG Monta Ellis / Buike / Belinelli
SF Josh Smith / AR
PF Brandon Wright / Al Harrington
C Beans
I dont see Barnes, Pietrus, Perovic, or Cro coming back to us and I see us moving Jackson and Harrignton soon. But think about the core of Monta, Josh Smith, AR, B Wright, and Beans. That's a greta core to build around and we could be back into the play offs before you know it. And if we could trade Harrington for a big PG like Crittenton or draft picks that could help us out tremendously. Also, we should look into signing Shaun Livingston if we can get him for cheap and I can't believe I am going to say this, but we should sign Darius Miles as long as he is cleared to play because the Jail Blazzers would have to pick up his remaining salary from his previous deal which would greatly screw over their youth movement and talent since way too much is locked up. In a sense we could Miles hostage and try to pry away some of their players. Not gonna happen but a funny thought.
Concluding, the time is now to make a move and get good young talent and I think Josh Smith is our answer. If we fork out the money he will come especially if we front load it since the Hawks probably will not wanna match that. Then we have a great young core to build around and if we do have a bad year then we could be in line for Ricky Rubio, Blake Griffin, and Brandon the headcase Jennings. So all could not be lost! We Believe remember? or will Cohen once again screw us?

gold old days
haha back to the good old days, where we cushion our losing seasons by hoping for high lottery picks that we end up screwing up…
anyway, now that baron is gone, i expect harrington to go as well. i am 50/50 on trading away jackson as well. he is the heart and soul of the team and would provide veteran leadership, but if we’re going to go young we don’t really have anything to offer jackson competitively and it would give our young players playing time and experience.
i would go after any quality RFA since we have the money now (smith, iguodala,etc.) and stock up for the next run…sigh…

It’s Cohan.
But also, I like where your head is at. Smith would be a great addition, and trading Harrington for a 1 is a great idea as well. I wouldn’t mind keeping Jax around for a little while.
