What three players can the Warriors not afford to lose?

Meaning what three players can we not afford to lose to injury/suspension/etc for an extended period of time this season?

Its really hard to say this early, especially since we haven't even seen an exhibition with the full squad. But based on last year and what I know about our picks and FA signings here's my 3(no particular order):

Andris

Monta

Jack(Maggette maybe, we have to see what he can do on our squad, but 22ppg last year mostly against the West, playing in Dunleavy's system, with the Clipps! That says alot. Not to mention free throws.)

 

Andris is still our only pure center and he is one of the best in the league, if you need convincing you'll need to wait til Oct.29 whe he squares up against Tyson Chandler and DWest. (BWright could start that game because of the match ups)

Monta is Monta. No one quite like him in the league. Poised to make noise!!!!

Jack is Cap'n Jack. Winning a last minute showdown with Kobe in Staples. 7 3's in one quarter. Nuff said.

Anyway, what do you guys think?

This FanPost is a submission from a member of the mighty Golden State of Mind community. While we're all here to throw up that W, these words do not necessarily reflect the views of the GSoM Crew. Still, chances are the preceding post is Unstoppable Baby!

long term wise, probably. but for this year, i think jack will be more vital than randolph imo.

That's not really a "IMO" thing...

It’s just a plain fact. Randolph won’t get off the bench, and Jack is a starter and the team captain. End of story.

I'm calling it - StackJack to be Traded if We are Lotterybound next Year

He is at least the third best player on the squad but his contract and ability will be very valuable to a contender near the allstar break next season. The way he shut down Dirk when motivated shows his ability. Harrington is in a similar boat but is not as valuable.

1) Monta Ellis
2) Andris Biedrins
3) This one’s tough, because I think we will lose Jack and Harrington soon, long term they aren’t in our plans. I’d probably put Anthony Randolph, if not him then Brandan Wright.

Interesting

Dont think I could put AR or BW ahead of Maggette or maybe even ahead of turiaf or Azubuike. But if they both play well I could see BW as a starter and he may start opening night. But I would be pleasantly suprised if either AR BW or even marco got on this list

robots programed to like what the tell you to like and say what they tell you to say

we can afford to lose everybody except the mascot that trampeline and the cheerleader that sits third down from the left. COME ON PEOPLE. 63 million for beidrens to do something we haven’t seen yet? we could’ve had josh smith. and ellis shmellis, the league is banning flops remember? scince i care so much about my fellow fans i offer you this advice at no price, watch games on mute from now until forever. form your own opinion based upon what you SEE not what they tell you. BD was our franchise. they told you he was injury prone we SEEN him play every game. j-rich they say was expendable to get a head start on rebuilding, we seen him peitrus barnes and bd dethrone the champs after having only half a season to gel. none of those guys are here any more. p.s. bellinelli, turiaf, buike. our only players worth their contract. if we were paying jackson to play lawyer foward and take every other play off to chop it up with the refs then he makes the list.

that's the worst thing i have seen today

beats out someone trying to talk about steroids on AN when they know nothing about them

"If you hit .440 with 20 bombs, you don't have to do s---. You don't have to bring a glove to practice, just hit and leave whenever you want. You can bring a 40 and smoke a cigarette and call me from the parking lot asking me what time the game is, and I'll tell you. You can even say 'F--- you, Steve!' Actually, don't say that, that wouldn't be very nice." -Steve Friend, Head Coach, Chabot College Gladiators Baseball

Some

of the worst grammar I have ever seen. It’s saw, not seen.

cool to be negative?

ojp please check yourself, look at the positives… if you need me to list them, then ur not a true fan

Why

Is gramer so important on GSOM? Thought this was a place where we talked Warriors ball. Shouldn’t we be able to get the message without having to criticize how people write wheter right or wrong?
