The writing has been on the wall since the JRich trade/Battle for KG fiasco. The Warriors may have won 48 games last year, but it was clearly unsustainable. Signs that it wouldn’t happen again, even if the roster had stayed in tact: (1) BD played all 82 games (contract year) — that was never going to happen again, (2) unsustainable minutes played by the 7 rotation players, (3) the collapse from exhaustion at the end of the season.

The cracks have been showing up in the foundation, it’s just that everyone was ignoring it. Instead of building for the present in 2007, Mulson decided to rip it down and start over. That was the beginning of the end.

Kawakami again I see :-|
