And already its extremely painful to watch the Warriors play. A lot of our poor play has to be chalked up to Don Nelson’s inconistent lineups and complete lack of emphasis on Defense, but I think its been understated how much we’ve missed a healthy Turiaf and Biedrins in the middle (let alone Wright.) We’ve had absolutely no rebounding and no blocked shots, people just score inside at will or get a second shot to sink in. If we are going to make any sort of trade for Jackson, it better be for a rebounder.

Curry
Ellis
Buike
Jackson
Biedrins

With Turiaf 1st off the bench in for Curry. For me Randolph would be the 2nd PF in the game and Morrow would split the minutes of Jackson and Buike on the wing with Maggette as 4th option off the bench either at SF or PF. I’d run Ellis out there as long as his body can take it playing a mix of both PG and SG.

Curry
Morrow
Mags (assuming he returns to career form, rather than being the mediocre player he’s been much of this season so far)
Randolph
Biedrins.

Monta comes off the bench, but plays the same number of minuets as Curry and Morrow, split between the two guard spots.

Buike gets as many minutes as Mags at the three, and supplants him there if Mags doesn’t return to form.

Turiaf backs up the 4 and 5.

1- Curry
2- ME
3- Buike
4-AR
5-Beans

Ammo, Ronny, Jack, Maggs (bench in this order)

Rick Barry
Jamaal WIlkes
Clifford Ray
Derrek Dickey
George Johnson
They’re only 60, I bet they can still play better in the half court than the current roster

You have to play whichever 5 have the best chemistry. We dont know what happens in practice, but I like what I see with these guys:

Curry
Morrow
Buike
Turiaf
Biedrins

I would love to put Randolph in there, but he is still too raw. Another year and he might be ready to start every game

Here’s my ideal starting 5:

Curry – Man, I love the kid. I’m really excited about what he can do. He’s a little young, but hey, he’s way better than CJ or Acie.
Monta – I’m just waiting for him to get his shooting stroke back, and actually be comfortable being a shooting guard. If Monta can get his jumper back, he’ll make up for his limitations on defense.
SJax – I need him out there because he’s the only guy I can count on to remotely hold the Kobes of the NBA in check. I just wish he wouldn’t be so dumb on the other end of the court.
Randolph – Man, I wish this kid were ready. He’s really exciting when he’s in a groove, and he can do so many things and take advantage of pretty much any match up on him. He’s like my dream player. Problem is, he has no (expletive) idea what he’s doing out there. Which means I have to start Turiaf or (shudders) Mikki Moore because Brandan is perpetually injured.
Biedrins – He’s solid. He does his job, scores well enough to keep defenses honest, and at least tries to man the paint.

That’s my ideal starting five, only problem is:
Curry’s just a rookie
Monta’s jumper isn’t back to form, and he feels threatened by Curry and is trying to do too much
Jax still does his Kobe impression on offense (he doesn’t seem to get the idea that I’m having him watch the film so he can spot tendencies and defend them, he seems to think he’s supposed to emulate Kobe on offense)
Randolph has no idea what he’s doing
Biedrins is injured.

So, my starting five just isn’t showing up at any position.

PG-Curry
SG-Monta
SF-LeBron
PF-Randolph
C-Biedrins

Ellis
Buike
Jackson
Randolf
Biedrens

Bench-

Ellis – Curry
Azubuike – Morrow
Jackson – Maggette
Turiaf – Randolph – Maggette when needed
Biedrins – Randolph

I wish Randolph could start but he seems to have fallen off due to Nellie’s craziness/media hype.

Sad, that even after I put this lineup together…I still wouldn’t expect 35 wins.

this is the smartest lineup if we want to stay competetive
Monta 30
Jackson only 30 a night
Corey Maggette only 25
Randolph at least 25 we need him to develop and he is our best bet
Biedrins at least 30
 
Have steph be a sixth man
this gives us a really solid bench with Azubukie Morrow Turiaf CJ and Moore coming off the bench
I hat Corey too but we need his size and rebounding

believe we need to just blow this team up. Larry Ellison buys the team fires our whole front office(maybe except Riley) and trade everyone. Try and keep Randolph, Curry, Morrow, Andris, Ronny, Bukie and maybe Wright and just have a full youth movement. We are most likely going to have a losing season anyway sowhy not lose and develop or young guys instead of playing Monta, Jack, and Maggette 40 mins every game. My lineup would be something like this in full Youth movement
Curry/CJ/Law
Morrow/?
Bukie/?
Randolph/Wright when he gets back
Andris/Ronny/Moore

But since he’s not here’s what I’d throw out there

Trade Monta Ellis for Rip Hamilton straight up

Move AR to starting small forward

Reach a buyout deal with Stephen Jackson

Trade Andris Biedrins and Brandan Wright for a big and strong center ( We all know Biedrins will get killed against Pau Gasol, D12, Shaq and so-on)

Lineup: PG: Curry
                SG: Rip
                SF: AR4
                PF: Turiaf
                 C: Kendrick Perkins or Tyson Chandler

Bench: Morrow, Moore, Azubuike, Law, Watson, Maggette ( we are a little thin on the frontcourt still so we should get a nice backup like Brendan Haywood package Watson Claxton and a 2nd round for him and I think we got a deal

Also eliminate all that run and gun crap. Sure it is fun to watch but that will get us nowhere.I think we should adopt the Lakers or Celtics style of play. Now that is a move we need to do

 I think we should fire Don Nelson and then we promote Keith Smart to head coach. Smart is more of a defensive coach so are defensive stats should go up. If we do all of that which is very very unlikely, we will be a good team
