HEY THAT DOES WORK!!!

I want my BD back!!!! Mommy, the Clippers stole my BD and I want him back! Waaaahhhh…

Good analysis, though leave out the rumored Mo Evans pickup until it actually shows up from real source.

and give the him the benefit of the doubt that he’d join such a great organization.

I was actually going to comment on another post how MAGGS, TURIAF and EVANS have done quite a bit on their previous teams, while we get all butthurt that we lose BARNES, PIETRUS and (possibly) BUIKE, who we’ve seen only do SOME good on our team. Too many emotional ties, when in the end we know it’s a business.

Sorry, I intentionally left out BD, because he was/is a tough loss, but he made the decision to leave, regardless of what people say about MULLIN not trying hard enough to keep him or whatever!

Great recap of the NEW WARRIORS!!! We should all be positive about what they can bring, not to mention the talent we already have. The WARRIORS definitely look more balanced now than they did, so hopefully that translates into being more consistent and being able to play NELLIEBALL and the conventional half-court game!

GO WARRIORS!!!

but over the years, I’ve really kinda just gotten the gist of the business side. I thought Vonteego would become a great player, along with Chris Porter, and Chris Gatling….but you have to look the team you got, not the individual players you had.

Your right scottie, this is a league that jams to Janet Jackson tune “What have you done for me Lately?”....and those 3 hadn’t done much in that sense.

I hope(and Believe) these moves will pan out.

I believe Mullin wants Nelson to be able to play all of the players he has on the bench and go into a 9 or 10 man rotation. I would not call their revamped roster an improvement over last year.
We lack that superstar that most of the championship caliber teams have with Baron gone. I wouldn’t trust anyone but him to have the ball in his hands down by 1 with 10 seconds left. Hopefully Monta can be that big time player for us.

Baron’s role will be the hardest thing to replace in the long run…the statistical things like Point,Assists,Steals, can be filled by a number of players. I agree that it’s his intagibiles that made him the “Man”.

The Depth of this newly revamped squad is significantly better, the caliber of the bench players is better, the Starting Lineup has taken a hit. It’ll come down to WHO steps up, if Monta is ready to become the player we all believe he can be, Baron’s departure will be the catalyst of his success. Maybe Wright starts to fill his potential? Maybe we’re seeing the next….no….the only Anthony Randolph???

I think alot of us would gamble on one of them become that superstar….though the odds are always against it. I’m betting on Ellis to come through.

Thanks. Someone needed to say this. Tired of everyone thinking they are the best GM for our team. Just believe and shut up.

I do think that the all the guys who constantly complain aren’t any lesser of fans. I just don’t think they see the big picture. Yes, some are bandwagon fans,some are always probably negative and every year think we’re gonna suck. But they just for some reason see thing differently, and I hope this might make them think “Outside THEIR box”. lol

Welcome to the board Always, and man I can’t wait to see Mags first drive w/ the “And 1” mid way through the 4th quarter, after the Warriros lead started to shrink because of so many missed Treys! OR Turiaf’s first time off the bench with a block that starts a fast break that leads to and beautiful cross over and dish from Williams to Evans! LOL

“I don’t think….”

great piece of writing….said everything i had on my mind about our acquisitions

I am feelin’ this squad, no one star (Monta’s not there yet) just a group of guys who could become a very good, cohesive unit. All working for the betterment of the team. Each pickup fits a need and I think that the fans who are questioning each move are looking for a superstar. What we are assembling is a group of guys each with a specific role who can blend together as a team.

Let me ask you this, you said it yourself, he’s a develping role player, I agree with you, to a point, but at what point does KAz accept his postion as just a bench player, his best moments with us were as a starter at the beggnining of the season, and towards the end when he got extended minutes. It’s a different animal that comes off the bench to contribute. KAz has skills, and he’ll probably end up being better than Mo Evans, very true. But at better numbers for last year, as I listed above, and cheaper? How could the organization really pay more for Azubuike? I guy who’s gonna be better and eventually want more and more of a role on a team developing Monta,Bellinelli,Randolph,Wright? I just think we had to part ways with him, and in doing so, we pretty much replaced him with a comparable refurbished part. lol

And Monkey,
Your point is well made, but later I posted how I didn’t feel the people who complain are not fans(see above)they just don’t see it same way. Hell, it’s part of being a true fan to not always agree w/ the managment 100% of the time, after all they want our money, not our friendship or trust. Most organizations know that when it come down to it, complain all you want, if your a fan, you’ll be around, and you’ll come to the games. It’s inevitable. I know I’ve one of those people.

As for the $$$ figures on each player, that’s a toss up, I don’t number crunch enough to really get into the “we paid too much convo”, I’m lookin @ it from a player to team aspect. And I like what they’ve done.

All in all, I’m glad you guys don’t all see it my way, if that was the case, what the hell would we talk about on GSoM? lol….I just wanted to give some people some thoughts on why I feel we shouldn’t be worried too much. And why I feel we made some of these moves/decisions were warranted.

VERY nice Tony! I know your excited to have the new faces around to play with!
