Ronny Turia-what?

Ok. Ronny Turiaf is known for his energy on the BENCH! He isn't even known for his scoring, assitsts, or even his boards. It is completely selfish of Ronny Turiaf to pick the money over his teammates that made it to the championship last year. The Warriors have Maggette which is a verbal agreement, and a huge list of Restricted and Unrestricted free-agents. The Warriors don't even know what direction they are going in, while the Lakers are clearly headed to have a parade next year on Figueroa with Baby Bynum coming back, and possibly some key Veterans who are attracted to the fact that we made it to game six without our arguably third or fourth best player in Bynum. And one more thing, everyone forgot that Kobe was playing with half a hand. TURIAF GIVE ME A BREAK! You are nothing special.

Kobe's hand was (IS) fine.

if it was bothering him at all he wouldnt be waiting until after the olympics to get it fixed…and lets not jump to conclusions about the lakers so soon. baby bynum is a bitch and we’ll see how the team plays wit Pau and Bynum on the floor together…both of them are soft

Thats a lot of Anger

The reason Turiaf is leaving is BECAUSE of Baby Bynum and Gasol; he is going to be fighting for minutes there, and there is SO much more potential to be a huge piece in the rotation for the W’s with a raise to boot. Plus the dubs need Turiaf… as before mentioned by many he fills the Warriors minimum-french-guy requirement and replaces that cheerleader that we have been missing since Sarunas left us to back to his country. So its a clear logical fit at this point

heh

someone sounds a bit angry…I’d welcome Turiaf to the warriors with both arms. This guy just hustles and plays defense. He doesn’t need the ball on offense and I’m sure he would love to ghost-ride the whip with jack.

All I know...

is that I grew to HATE Turiaf… valuable or not he would piss me off when he would get a board, go back up and get the And 1, all in the first minute of play! He’s a player in the mold of Verajoa/Cardinal, a guys who won’t get plays ran for him, scrapes together a couple buckets and boards and calls it a great game…..but to tell you the truth, that’s EXACTLY what the Dubs needed. Mags was the SAME way, both were Warrior killers and pests every time we played them.

If NOTHING comes of these players once they put on a Dubs jersey,at the very least I won’t have to deal with them raising my blood pressure as we play the Clips and Lakers.

Like ANY other players that play in Southern Cali…I DISLIKE THEM, but at least they can now be cleansed of their sins by a good rinsning in the Bay! WELCOME!

Oh..and I'll tell you 1 thing that hasn't been forgotten....

The 39 POINT shalacking that the Lakers got in that last Finals game!!! LOL….

And now, Baron Davis is about to be as lonely as Tila Tequila! Man, I love it!

This must be the most sour

looser of all time.Picking money over his teammates(I didn’t know Kobe is giving spending money for his teammates)

the more i think about turiaf...

the more i really like the move. I really hope the lakers don’t match. Turiaf is like a more energetic/bigger/athletic brian cardinal without the ability to score plus he comes really cheap. He fills a huge need and will be able to body up on the Boozers of the league and will motivate our big man down low to play some D. Love the signing, lets pick up Dan Dickau off the waiver wire and rep Gonzaga Bball.

big fan of this deal

he is known for hustle and energy off the BENCH, like you said, and that’s exactly where he’ll start most games here. the exact type of guy we’ve lacked on the bench and is a great addition.
