come on this signing is not that bad. I mean Mullin is trying his best don’t just give up on him. Hes doing what he is suppose to do to try to save the off season.

Its Maggette or nothing else. Brand is in Philly, Iguodala is restricted agent as is Josh Smith meaning that their respective teams have about a week to match any offer. In 1 week after NBA teams can sign players, Maggette could be lured away and the Warriors could end up with absolutely nothing at all. Philly has cap space with them getting rid of 2 of their role players and Atlanta would probably part ways with Childress to keep Josh Smith.

U’d probably be even more upset if the Warriors let Maggette slip away and brought in Kirk Hinrich. The Warriors were already burned by Baron, they didn’t wanna be burned again by not bringing in a talent like Maggette. Remember, the Warriors still consider themselves a playoff team as well, they couldn’t just waste a year by not signing a starter calliber player

please show me the evidence that JSmith would come to Warriors for three mill more than what we gave Maggette. I don’t think he would and you don’t KNOW that he would – don’t print statements that suggest facts when they are just your theory.
Also, we don’t know how good Wright or Randolph will be – J Smith would hinder their growth.
Hate on Mullin if you like but he’s one of many teams and many gms trying to get the same small group of guys. Players decide where they want to play (see baron and brand) not Mullin. I think magette will be a decent pickup. Better we pay him a bit too much than end up with nada.

you people are ridiculous. if he doesn’t sign maggette and they get nothing, you’ll complain they did nothing. If they sign Maggette for a bit above the midlevel (which is what they HAD to do in order to sign him) you complain about the contract.

Bottom line, we signed a pretty good scorer and still have enough money to resign the core of Ellis and Biedrins. On top of that, we can still go after one more guy! Wait till everything is done, they’re out on the court and losing before you start to bitch and complain.

hmmm… 6 to 8 million a year for Maggette? or 13-15 mil for baron?, huge difference. If he doesn’t work out for us, it’ll be a hell of a lot easier to trade him then Baron would. Not many teams have cap room for a player like Baron. Mullin is doing what he can with whats on the table for him. Did he know Baron was gonna walk a way from 17.8 mil? prolly not, nobody did. But it happened and he is doing what is going to help the team. Are we better w/o maggette at this point? prolly not. We need as much help as we can get right now, and I don’t think maggette is coming at a bad price b/c we still have a ton more money to go after another player.

Maggette averaged more points and both higher FG, 3pt, AND FT% than baron last year in what will probably be the best season of his career. barons definitely a better leader as he is a point guard. Maggette plays the 3 and stack jack can play the 2 so he doesnt have to play a forward spot. monta showed huge signs of improvement towards the end of the year with his passing abilities and even had a couple games wit more assists than “HollyBoom”

If the choice is Maggette or nothing, I’ll take nothing in the current situation that we are in.

Not saying Maggette is bad, but how much better does he make us? Are we a title contender? No? Because if we’re not, we should be rebuilding, not struggling to stay afloat as the 8th/9th place team in a stacked West.

I would rather have no Maggette and see what kind of a player we have in Azubuike (who has looked impressive when he has gotten consistent minutes) and suck, yes, but suck so we get a higher pick in the draft and a point guard for the future.

Rebuilding sucks but mediocrity is worse. At least with rebuilding there is a hope that it will pay off. Mediocrity does not translate into championships, it is like a quick fix to be just good enough, not great.

Who knows though? Maybe the Warriors start Buike and have Maggs as the sixth man. Maybe I won’t dislike this move as much as I do right now later. But right now, it is really hard to see what the plan is. We potentially have 4 out of the 5 positions locked up for the future, and 3 potential rotational players, but we still need a PG. I figured that after this year we could get one of the many (Jennings, Rubio, Holliday) with our pick. Now I’m not so sure.

I’ll keep my negative comments about this deal to a minimum after this though. At least, I’ll try.
