How would you build this team?

PrintI see a lot of talk here about what trades they want, who should go, who we should draft etc. So lets say your hired as the Warriors GM with this current roster going into the offseason. We finish around 30-35 wins but luck our in the lottery and get the fourth pick. And just for the heck of it lets say Don Nelson retires (for whatever reasons). How would you build this team (be serious, don't say trade for the Lakers or something like that)? Who would you get rid of? Who should be the coach?
One option that seems to be where we are going is building on a young core much like how Portland did. They actually drafted their starting lineup. We could use the pick on a small forward like Wesley Johnson or Evan Turner or maybe even Devin Ebanks. Turner is a three position player that resembles Brandan Roy, Ebanks is much like a Rudy Gay/Travis Outlaw and Wes is a Caron Butler type guy but a much better shooter or Al Farouq Aminu who seems similar to Luol Deng. We could use a good small forward that can score and play solid defense so Monta doesn't have too guard 6'8 type guys. The team may go through some bumps but eventually could become a major force. Building around Monta Ellis, Stephen Curry, Wes/Ebanks/Evan/AL, Anthony Randolph, Andris Biedrins, Anthony Morrow and Brandan Wright (don't forget about him) doesn't seem to shabby does it? All those young guys have great potential.
Come on, how many years can you not move up?
Or we could go with the Boston or Orlando way of doing things with trading/free agents. We could go about this by trading for expirings like a Corey Maggette for Marko Jaric (7+ mil coming off the books) or we can do a Maggs and the 1st rounder for Butler. Maybe Wright could go on the block? We also could use the money coming off of Raja Bell's , Devean George's and Speedy Claxton's contracts. Maybe although it sounds awful we can let Azebuike's deal off the books so we can try to give a max offer to a Joe Johnson type of guy. Basically swing for the fences much like Boston did.
Lastly the coaching situation which is tricky one so heres a quick list of some good prospects:
- Keith Smart , GSW - Players seem to respond well to him and currently is taking on Nellie's job of coach on the road trip.
- Avery Johnson - Tough love type of guy but had a lot of success in Dallas.
- Byron Scott - CP3's close friend and was the coach when the Nets were in the finals.
- Brian Shaw LAL- Oakland native and main assistant of the the world champs. Also former player
- Tom Thibideau BOS - Celtics main assistant and a great defensive specialist.
That's just a few options but if you have another go ahead and say it.
So how would you build this team with the given situation?

I might swing for the fences… but as Cohan’s GM?? Young players keep the fans around (as the hope for growth) =/
To answer the question:
Head Coach: Bill Laimbeer – who better to teach young bigs + has experience with a lineup of small guards (Thomas and Dumars)
Draft Pick: Wesley Johnson
Trade: Corey Maggette for suitable back-up PG (probably lose CJ to some other team)
Rotation:
PG: Curry/TBD
SG: Ellis/Morrow
SF: Buike/Johnson
PF: Randolph/Wright
C: Biedrins/Turiaf
I’d also probably be tempted to trade Ellis for a really good SF, if Morrow rapidly improves and shows that he is starter material.

We finish around 30-35 wins but luck our in the lottery and get the fourth pick.
The lottery only applies to three teams. If we end up with the fourth pick, it’ll be either because we were (a) the 4th worst team in the league; (b) one of the three worst teams but got jobbed by the ping-pong balls. Barring further injuries, I think both of those scenarios are pretty unlikely.
On topic: I’m basically happy to let our young core mature, with the possible addition of another stud in this year’s draft. I wish ’Buike and Wright were healthy, as I think they were both on the cusp breakout years; and with them in the core (together with a healthy Andris and Ronny) we could better gauge whether or not we really want to sell the farm.
I’m also good with selling the farm, so long as we’re getting a true stud in his prime in return, rather than a dud in stud’s clothing. The devil is in the details. I don’t see the merit in trading a big chunk of the young core, and locking ourselves in to a long-term max deal, for a flawed, slightly declining player like Boozer or Amare. Bosh to me is a closer call: he looks to have the youth and career trends to be worth blowing it up for (say Biedrins, Randolph, and our #1 pick?) I worry a bit about “contract year”-itis, but I’d probably bite the bullet and do it.
Ideal case is that a true stud comes available right when we have the blend of appealing young talent and expiring contracts to pry him. Dream scenario for me is Chris Paul. Unlike the other true studs (LeBron and Howard), he doesn’t play for a team with any real championship aspirations. If we can snag a high pick in this year’s draft, and the Hornets again find themselves in the netherworld of first-round playoff exit-ville, I can half- imagine us putting together an appealing package for Paul. Say … Curry, Randolph, the #1 pick, and a big pile of expiring contracts? Leaves us with enough talent to be a pretty scary team (scarier by far than the current Hornets, imo)…
Paul / CJ
Monta / Morrow
‘Buike / Maggs (assuming we can’t dump him)
Wright / Turiaf
Biedrins / Hunter
There will be no extra point!

It just sucks because now we’re on our second straight year of not really knowing what we have.
Warriors, Stupidest franchise in the league.
I told Randolph that Bill Russell would tell him to keep that ball in play and start the break.
RANDOLPH: "I know. But sometimes, you gotta let ‘em know."
(MT)
Very frustrating...
Seasons like this make it very difficult to honestly evaluate your talent. I was very excited to see our frontcourt this year. On paper AB / Turiaf / Wright / Randolph is a pretty solid rotation with tons of upside. In reality it’s been a few tall guys wearing expensive suits. Ugh…
"I could be chasing an untamed ornithoid without cause."
I thought about the CP3 option too....
Still think it’d require monta as well though but who knows. If I was New Orleans I’d ask for nothing less than Morrow, Curry, Biedrins and Randolph and make them take someone like Morris Peterson. He is probably worth it too.
If you trade CP3 you are acknowledging a re-build you want young talent. At this point they’ll probably look to move Okafor and West.
Then again they have everything expiring in 2011. so if they can keep Paul happy. Next season they could easily make a move like Orlando and San Antonio did for VC or Jefferson
Problem is NO doesn’t seem like they want to make a move. Everything they do and every report that comes out of there indicates the owners want to keep their costs down.

and they can’t make it now cause all those players have 1 more season. no one is taking on contracts of bad players post 2010 if they don’t have to. Next summer/fall will be a different story
I would hate to be the GM that was known for trading away Chris Paul.

you can bounce back from anything
hell, the warriors re-hired Nellie even though he ran out a 20 year old franchise player.
we can try to give a max offer to a Joe Johnson type of guy
Avoid things like this at all costs. Max money to guys who are not superstars is exactly how you end up in a situation where you’re unable to acquire a real superstar. Also, it’s kind of moot because we don’t have any room under the cap to sign anyone in free agency. Keep in mind – Boston’s success was through the draft/trades. The centerpiece to the Garnett trade was a guy they drafted – Jefferson, they acquired Ray Allen because they had a high pick, they drafted Pierce, Rondo, Perkins…
So acquire as much talent through the draft as possible, guys with big upside, looking to hit for a superstar. Always be open to trading anyone if you think it can help the team – if a real superstar like Paul becomes available, everyone needs to be available to make the move. Hope internally you develop a superstar, or at least develop the talent to trade for one. Patience is good, throwing money at Joe Johnson’s, Corey Maggette’s, and even Boozer’sAmare’s (especially if you’re throwing money AND talent) is bad.
you don't think joe johnson is worth max money?
He’s a star player in my opinion. We’ll see how far Atlanta gets, he has a nice supporting class but nothing great. Josh Smith is very good but as I recall you always bash him. Marvin, Bibby, Hortford r good role players. I think his supporting cast this year is comparable to cleveland’s and there record shows it. Of course I’ll withhold judgment until I see how far they go in playoffs. But I think you could say joe johnson would make this current roster (if healthy) an immediate playoff team. More so with development of AR and Biedrins a deep playoff team. More so, he’s the type of guard I’ve always wanted to pair with Monta (him and BRoy) 2 guards who get a lot of assists w/ few turnovers with good range
Joe freaking Johnson — max money? Wow. Even if he were making MLE-type money, I’d rather have Monta, Curry, Morrow, or Azubuike. I mean, Johnson’s not a bad player, but he’s a shooting guard who turns 30 next season; those guys grow on trees. There are probably 100 NBA players whose services I think we could use more than Johnson’s.
You can’t really talk about Johnson “supporting cast” In Atlanta, since Johnson is at best the third most valuable and productive player on that team. Horford and Josh Smith (whose game has taken a huge leap this season) are much more integral to the Hawks’ success. Johnson, whether he knows it or not, has become part of the “supporting cast.”
There will be no extra point!
by Sleepy Freud on Dec 11, 2009 12:38 PM PST up reply actions
Definitely not. Joe Johnson is a nice complimentary player, but not a star. Max money goes to superstars. Since Johnson arrived on the Hawks, he’s averaged a little under 20 points per 36 minutes wtih averageish efficiency, about 4 rebounds per 36, 4.5-5ish assists per 36. Defensively, I’ve never thought much of him – he’s not terrible by any means, but he’s not exactly adding value defensively as an on ball defender. Add in the fact that he doesn’t create turnovers or block shots (not that SG’s block shots anyways, but compared to a real max money player like Wade who blocks 3-5 times more shots than Johnson)….and you’re left with a decent player but nothing special.
Also, I think the Hawks supporting case is pretty decent. I’d take Horford right now over anyone on the Cavs (not just for building for the future, but as a player just for this season). I’m not a huge fan of Josh Smith, but I don’t think he’s a bad player overall, Just more style than substance (though he’s been playing well so far this season, I’m not confident it will last). Bibby is probably comparable to Mo Williams (I say this one without looking at any hard evidence, so feel free to correct me if I’m wrong). Jamal Crawford sucks but has actually had a good start to this season….they have a couple other guys like Zaza that can give averageish production. Basically, a Hawks team minus Johnson would consistently beat a Cavs team minus Lebron, in my opinion.
Also, Johnson’s numbers aren’t as good as Roy’s, right now, despite Roy being 25 and Johnson being 28, and I still think Roy needs to improve before he’s even elite. At 25, it’s definitely plausible, but if he tops out where he is now, I know I will be disappointed, for one. Johnson on the other hand has very likely topped out.

hmm…. Mo Williams, Delonte, Anthony Parker, Varajao, Big Z vs. Bibby, Crawford, Marvin, Josh, Hortford…. sounds like a lottery matchup to me :D
He may not be worth max money but you and sleepy are grossy underrating him (particularly sleepy). Maybe he can’t lead a team by himself. He’s still better than every warrior including Monta. As we’ve seen since monta has become “the guy” his efficiency has gone the way of jamal crawford
I think you’re grossly underrating Horford and JSmooth, tafkasam. Both are miles more valuable than anyone on that motley list of Cavs character actors, imo. I’d actually put both on a very short list of “up-and-coming” stars who have basically up and come (unlike Randolph or Wright, for example). I could trot out a bunch of numbers, but I’m hoping adjusted plus-minus (i.e. “simple rating”) will suffice for now:
Horford +14.5 (tops on the Hawks)
Smith +13.1 (second best on the Hawks)
(Johnson is third).
Horford is probably a Top 8 NBA center right now, and Smith looks to be blossoming into a Top 10-15 player. The Hawks are young and very talented. Replace Joe Johnson with Monta or a healthy Kelenna, and I’d be surprised if they missed a beat.
There will be no extra point!

Thank you for saying this. Horford is much better than people give him credit for but he gets lost behind all the Josh Smith hype/hate.
by samuraaaaiiiiiii on Dec 11, 2009 1:27 PM PST up reply actions
Thing is, the J-Smooth hype is looking much more deserved this season than in seasons past. He’s really picked up his rebounding, passing and scoring efficiency, while cutting down on the turnovers and remaining a shotblocking / defensive beast. Based on his performance so far this season, he looks like, hands-down, the best and most versatile forward in the NBA not named LeBron James (which is kind of what he’s always been cracked up to be, but never quite lived up to…)
There will be no extra point!
by Sleepy Freud on Dec 11, 2009 1:38 PM PST up reply actions
I have to say, I’m not nearly as optimistic as you are that Smith can keep up what he’s been doing…
I’m expecting another “regression to the mean”. :)
(Of course, we know what happened last time I said that knock on wood that it continues)

Thats a big harsh
Monta vs. Joe johnson? Possible. They are different but comparable players. But Kelenaa? Cmon. Next thing you are going to tell me if Jared Dudley can replace Carmelo because he shoots much more efficiently this year
Joe Johnson is a nice complimentary player,
I mean, sure, I’d take him for free…

you don’t think joe johnson is worth max money?
He is not worth max money. Max money to Johnson would be a cap crippling tie to the low end of mediocre.
what if your team gave him + saayyyyyy bosh max money and filled out a roster, what would you expect? I think he’s defineitly a teir below the ‘true’ max money guy players. but it seems those guys seem to get max money as well. Players like Amare, Boozer, Deron, Broy etc. They arent max money guys like say kobe, lebron, dwight howard.
I see that as more acceptable, I just think it’s much harder to acquire the second max guy to pair with the first, so if you sign Johnson first you’re risking putting max money into him and never being able to find a real star. Gotta get Bosh first then see if you can get a “not worth max money but is good enough for someone to give it to them anyways” type of player…
by Missing Barry on Dec 11, 2009 2:23 PM PST up reply actions
yeah
I should have clarified i wasn’t saying “lebron, dwade, joe johnson, kobe” or anything. I think a team who has a superstar or is trying to get 1, will make a big run at him as there second banana.
I could also see NYK throwing a max offer at him when they lose out on someone. NYK will be interesting cause there best young player (Gallinari) players lebron’s position. I kind of feel like he will go there. They could slide him to 4 in a dirk sort of way, and considering lebron’s general awesomeness at everything including rebounding they could be fine. (Also having a guy who sits on 3 pt line to open lane for lebron is nice). So then who do they add? Could easily see them adding JJ if they don’t get bosh, amare, dwade
I freaking love Joe Johnson
but he is so not worth max money. He’s probably like $10-$12 million kind of guy.
by Reverend_Randy on Dec 11, 2009 5:23 PM PST up reply actions
Honestly, if Monta gets his efficiency back up (I think he will sooner than later, I think some of it’s just rust from basically a full year off), he really is comparable to Johnson. The efficiency is the only thing Johnson has going for him over Ellis (not true – turnovers, Ellis really needs to get those down), and the way Ellis has been playing lately, I’d even say Ellis is the better defensive player of the two…
The problem is that the rebuild really needs to start now… 2010 free agency has over half the teams in the league all aflutter, and we should do our best to capitalize on that. The immediate goals:
1) Trade Maggette. The two most plausible targets are Maggette/Speedy for Peja (Hornets cut ‘10-’11 payroll and keep CP3 happy), and Maggette/Speedy/Raja for all the Knick’s non-expirings (gives the Knicks a shot in this FA market), but you should call everybody, as discreetly as you can. And if they hang up, keep calling. I really like Maggette, but he shouldn’t be here, and we need to do everything we can to turn him into ’11 expiring deals.
2) Trade CJ by the deadline this year. CJ wants to go to a competitive team, as his emo Orlando-themed tweets from the summer attest, and at least a couple title contenders would have interest, as they’re in a fierce bidding war against each other. If you can get a first-rounder, even a low one, great; if not, any young player with even slight potential and a longer contract would do. Hell, throw CJ into a Maggette package if that’ll get it over the hump. It’ll be a waste of an asset if CJ’s still here in the spring, because he’s definitely going to walk.
3) Scour the waiver wires and minor leagues for young players with a pulse. Do not hesitate to drop George and even Mikki to add guys with genuine upside.
Competing next year isn’t impossible, but it shouldn’t be our goal. Our goal should be 2011-12. If we dump Maggette successfully, in the summer of 2011 we’ll have Curry, Monta, Randolph, Biedrins and a ‘10-’11 rookie under contract, plus Turiaf if he doesn’t opt out, an option to extend (or QO) Wright, and a cap hold for our ‘11-’12 pick. At most, those eight players would take up about $40 million of cap space, and I’m guessing the cap that year will be back up over $55 million. We would be very close to being able to sign a max guy before trying to re-sign Morrow and/or Buike; punting on Turiaf or Wright would definitely get us there.
That should be the plan — all young attractive pieces and cap space in 2011. That doesn’t mean we need to keep all these guys; it just means that, barring a CP3 coming available, we should only move them out for other young talent. This way, if a CP3 does come available, we have as much tasty stuff as possible to offer, be it young ‘uns or an ability to swallow bad contracts. No more B-plus free agents (not even in 2011 if nobody’s good enough), no more veteran fetishism. We stay young, cheap and flexible. If the wins come, great; if they don’t, we’re in as good a position as possible to reload.
Ladies and gentlemen, your Golden State Worriers.

I’m not a big fan of Maggette for an ‘11 expiring. If that’s our plan, we should at least hold on to Maggette this season and make that deal next offseason.
by Missing Barry on Dec 11, 2009 2:14 PM PST up reply actions
It’d be almost impossible to pull off next offseason, even if he finishes the season strong.
1) As with Jack, we will need to find a desperate team to take on Maggette’s contract, a team that feels like it like a quick shot in the arm for some reason or another. Teams are not desperate in the offseason. If we offer them Maggette, they’re free to take their time and find a better option. Why settle for Corey Maggette if you can get Caron Butler, or maybe Tayshaun Prince?
2) The two teams that would most plausibly take his contract on are the Hornets and Knicks. But trading with either is only a possibility this year, when our ’10 expirings are in play. Without the expirings, to trade Maggette for Peja, we would have to send other guys along, which would 1) make the trade much less worthwhile, and 2) negate the point of Hornets doing it in the first place. Maggette and expirings would take around $10 million of their payroll next year, when you account for luxury tax; Maggette and, say, Turiaf, that nosedives to $2 million. Similarly, the Knicks need our ’10 expirings to cram their cap-space window open wider. Once our ’10 expirings expire, we have nothing that can help the Knicks.
3) Contracts that expire in 2011 are currently undervalued, as everyone’s got 2010 on the brain. Starting next summer, when the free agency rubble starts to settle, everyone will start coveting 2011 expirings… Peja’s contract will go from being an albatross to being, without any exaggeration, one of the most valuable trade pieces in the NBA. Once ‘11 expirings appreciate in value, we’re never going to get them in return for Corey Maggette.
Look, I know it seems like a weird thing to do with a good player. I really do like Maggette, and really do think Warrior fans underrate him significantly… I’m not contending that this wouldn’t hurt in the short term. But the situation is what it is. Maggette’s a big-money 30-year-old on a crappy young team, and he’s not a great fit here. His contract is the last false note on our books, the last thing keeping us from true flexibility and upside. Trading him for crap wouldn’t be appealing, but it’s the right thing to do.
Ladies and gentlemen, your Golden State Worriers.
Interesting points. One thing I’m thinking is if we try to get another ‘10 expiring, we might be able to turn that into something useful sooner rather than later (and as you said, those are valuable, possibly overpriced, in the present). At the very worse we lose the value of the expiring but have the financial flexibility in place. Without Maggette we’re down to ~$43M or so in obligations next season – we’re still not looking at being big FA players with that flexibility, but it may give us options to make trades or something, and if we do nothing, we end up with the same amount of flexibility in ’11 as we would with an ’11 expiring.
I guess I just think we should try to get ’10 expiring for him, or hold on to him and let him contribute this year and get dump him next offseason, instead. You do raise some interesting thoughts, though.
by Missing Barry on Dec 11, 2009 2:50 PM PST up reply actions
Believe me, if we can dump him for ‘10 expiring money without giving up any young ’uns, I’m all for it. I just can’t imagine that that’ll be doable. While good, he’s just not a piece that many teams would be interested in — most title contenders are already set at the wing, and any team below that level isn’t likely to want to pay him through 2013. And it’s like not his stock is going to go up anytime soon… next year he’ll be 31, with another year on a losing team against his record, and he doesn’t even have Jack’s big minutes-based counting stats or mythical “leadership” to recommend him. Maggette won’t be a trade asset until he becomes an expiring contract himself, three years from now.
I worry that keeping him around just kicks the problem down the road - that the best we’d be able to get for him in ’10‘11 would be a ’12 expiring, and so on. If we can do better than an ’11 expiring now, great. But I do think now’s the time.
Ladies and gentlemen, your Golden State Worriers.
You hit it on the head
And it summarizes the one major problem with the warriors. They are unwilling to go all chips in, into a rebuild. Instead wanting ‘some vets’ for leadership, and in process retarding development of some younger players. At the same time they are willing to trade youth for experience but not willing to go all the way (IE Garnett deal). and so that leaves the warriors where they’ve been last 15 years. a 25-33 win a season franchise. Never bad enough to win a lottery changer. Never good enough to instill hope
Sigh, if only we hadn’t extended Jack or signed Maggette, we’d be in a pretty fine situation right now…

The funny thing is...
WHY ARE WE STILL FANS?! Sadly I feel the bulk of regular posters on this blog have a deeper intellectual understanding of basketball to the front office
Nope
1. Trade Maggete: Nope not an answer if you haven’t been paying attention he’s been playing very well lately, and the Warriors without Maggette last night probably would have been run out of the building in the third quarter with the way they were playing.
2. Trade C.J. again wrong answer. Watson is playing extremely well, better then Curry and Watson should take Curry’s place in the starting lineup. Right now Curry has been a disappointment.
Curry doesn’t look for his own shot, but Watson can. Curry cannot finish at the rim very easily, but Watson can! Watson has been a spark plug energy wise and makes smarts decisions with the basketball, where Curry does not. Too many times this year Curry has picked up his dribble and has thrown way too easy of passes that are easily stolen and result in layups.
Right now it looks like Darren Collison would have been a better selection then Curry!
As for the waiver wires Mikki Moore is gone next year he signed a one year contract he’s as good as gone!
Maggette playing well and helping the team doesn’t mean trading him isn’t a good decision. Sometimes decisions that make you worse in the short run will make you better in the long run, so that would be the thinking behind a Maggette trade.
Also, Moore will probably be out of the NBA next year…
by Missing Barry on Dec 12, 2009 12:15 PM PST up reply actions
Definitely
I think that Maggette if the Warriors could actually get a coach with a brain, he would be able to be used more correctly. As in taking on small forward and shooting guards who don’t have the strength to guard him.
It’s not really Maggette’s fault that he’s being played by power forwards/centers who are much stronger than he is.
God
it’d be so great if we had CP3..I love that guy
How I would build the Warriors if they were healthy
First of all if the lineup was healthy here’s what the lineup should be:
C-Biedrins
PF-Randolph
SF-Azubuike
SG-Ellis
PG-Watson
Backup:
PG- Curry
SG: Morrow
SG/SF: Maggette
SF: Radmanovich
SF/PF: Wright
PF/C: Turiaf
PF/C: Hunter
Waive: George and Claxton!
As coach I’d bring in Byron Scott, Lawrence Frank, or Avery Johnson. I would not even consider Keith Smart for the job of head coach.
I also think if the Warriors continue to struggle this year and if they got the number one pick in the draft to take John Wall, they could possibly make an offer the Hornets couldn’t refuse for Chris Paul.
I would go with
PG-Curry
SG-Ellis
SF-Wright
PF-Randolph
C-Biedrins
Starting 5 with
PG- Buike
SG- Morrow
SF- Maggette
PF- V Rad
C- Turiaf
Bench next year with CJ Watson as a 3rd option at PG (I would obviously re-sign him next summer)
Or:
PG- Curry
SG- Ellis
SF- Morrow
PF- Randolph
C- Biedrins
Starting 5 with
PG- Buike
SG- Maggette
SF-V Rad
PF- Wright
C- Turiaf
Bench with Watson as a third string PG
How would Wright work at small forward?
He can’t guard a small forward, that would mean Randolph would have too.
I'm glad you have no say on the warriors
starting Watson would be laughable.
Ellis / Curry
Bell / Morrow
Buki / Maggs
AR / Wright / Vlad
Andris / Turiaf
Coach Avery Johnson
And trade maggs asap, for either a first rounder or a shorter contract.
Try to make a move for CP3 (not very realistic, but he may want to move if we agree to bring byron scott and he could play along side ellis) or Bosh.
You know I spit technique to the freshest freak
Gimme a call you will see results in just a week
With the soul of a LOST HAWK
Is there a heaven for a Rap Cat, let's talk
i would go
curry
monta
buki
AR4
beans
maggete-told to drive to the basket before he goes to scores table lol
turiaf
wright
morrow
cj
morre
who cares…
i also heard that wright was a beast in the preseason b4 he got injured so idk, i actully kinda think that wright’s injury could help the dubs. they might brainwash him that hes injury prone and nobody will sign him. they might get him real cheap in the offseason(if his option expires this off season)
