The Future is Golden
As the 2008-2009 Golden State Warriors season winds down, it's important to focus on the bright future this world class organization has. When a team has been rebuilding this long, you can only imagine how good it's going to be when the execution of this master vision is finally complete.
Make the jump to see what I see...
Robert Rowell's picture is next to the word "classy" in the dictionary.
Chris Mullin is a fantastic GM and a top basketball mind who knows how to draft and manage the cap. He made Nellie.
Don Nelson's a terrible coach. We should run him out of town because the fans and local media know hoops way better than him. I mean come on- everyone knows that young teams win in this league. After all he's never won a championship- he must be a bad coach right?
Monta Ellis is not only the fastest player in the league, but the smartest and most mature. I'm glad the Warriors ran Boom and Rich out of town to build around him.
Andris Biedrins is an amazingly tough defender with equally amazing fundamentals and upside. Just wait till he showcases his jumpshot and right hand next year.
Stephen Jackson is putting up Antoine Walker in-his-prime stats and that's a recipe for success.
Corey Maggette always looks to pass first.
Jamal Crawford is always on the right spot on D. He never loses sight of his man.
Kelenna Azubuike is better than Jason Richardson. Forget the totals after the game (and the final score). In limited minutes he gives you similar production. That's all that matters.
Anthony Morrow needs to stop shooting.
Anthony Randolph has fantastic body language. He's untradeable just like Ike Diogu was for Ron Artest back in 2006.
Brandan Wright is going to be a monster big man in this league for years to come.
Marco Belinelli's going to be a fantastic point guard and defender in this league.
CJ Watson is a shutdown perimeter defender. That's obviously why he got called up from the NBDL.
Ronny Turiaf's absence is going to the be key reason the LA Lakers lose in the NBA Finals this year.
Rob Kurz is going to be a Warrior for a very long time.

I didn’t think April Fools is supposed to manifest itself in thinly veiled sarcasm.
Looking at your list, I see that about 25% is straight-up joking, like the Morrow bit, but the rest of it is clearly a facetious expression of what you actually believe. So, I’ll respond accordingly:
Chris Cohan is one of the NBA’s finest owners. No doubt about it.
Robert Rowell’s picture is next to the word “classy” in the dictionary.
I wonder if people truly appreciate how hard it is to be as bad at their jobs as those two are. They deserve credit for that.
Chris Mullin is a fantastic GM and a top basketball mind who knows how to draft and manage the cap. He made Nellie.
Ahh, the myth of Mullin. This idiotic movement is starting to gain serious momentum. This needs to get nipped in the bud before he’s getting the same revisionist treatment as Ronald Reagan. A combination of Generation We Believe’s lack of historical perspective and the fervent anti-Nelson mob looking for a martyr.
Don Nelson’s a terrible coach. We should run him out of town because the fans and local media know hoops way better than him. I mean come on- everyone knows that young teams win in this league. After all he’s never won a championship- he must be a bad coach right?
Once again, a symptom of Generation We Believe’s lack of historical perspective, media hype and a complete unwillingness and inability for people to try and understand what he’s doing. Remember the “play Randolph” mob? How about “play Wright” blah blah blah. How about, this guy is one of the best coaches in the history of the sport and deserves some freaking credit for resurrecting the franchise from a string of bad coaches while giving us the most entertaining style of play in the NBA. I’ll stop now . .
Monta Ellis is not only the fastest player in the league, but the smartest and most mature. I’m glad the Warriors ran Boom and Rich out of town to build around him.
Monta’s smart enough to be all about Monta first and smart enough to feed the media what they want to hear. He’s imperfect, but he’s better than J-Rich. Another thing, Baron Davis isn’t very mature either. Being too hung-over to play the most important game of the season isn’t exactly locker-room leadership. Also, he coasted through most of his minutes during his time here. Who was Monta’s big brother and mentor on the team again?
Andris Biedrins is an amazingly tough defender with equally amazing fundamentals and upside. Just wait till he showcases his jumpshot and right hand next year.
I don’t think anyone thinks he has much upside at this point, so I’m not sure where that comes from. Regardless, he is fundamentally sound (except FT)and rebound and only shoots when it’s a shot that he can make. Oh and he can handle too. What is it that you do not like about AB?
Stephen Jackson is putting up Antoine Walker in-his-prime stats and that’s a recipe for success.
Antoine Walker was a much better rebounder.
Corey Maggette always looks to pass first.
He’d pass more if he could pass to himself without getting called for travelling.
Kelenna Azubuike is better than Jason Richardson. Forget the totals after the game (and the final score). In limited minutes he gives you similar production. That’s all that matters.
What is it that J-Rich does well that Azubuike does not?
Anthony Morrow needs to stop shooting.
Apparently his teammates, who refuse to pass him the ball when he’s open, agree.
Anthony Randolph has fantastic body language. He’s untradeable just like Ike Diogu was for Ron Artest back in 2006.
Diogu is proof that Mullin is a genius. Randolph’s facial expression is reminiscent of a man who has an angry lobster attached to his nuts.
Brandan Wright is going to be a monster big man in this league for years to come.
I hate the way he scores so efficiently now days. Nelson should have just played him before he could do all that because the fans and media were saying he’s not playing Wright because he hates rookies. Who cares if Wright had no idea how to play.
Marco Belinelli’s going to be a fantastic point guard and defender in this league.
I like him now that he plays defense, but the collective hard-on that Warriors Nation had for this guy all last year was mystifying.
CJ Watson is a shutdown perimeter defender. That’s obviously why he got called up from the NBDL.
Worst perimeter defender in the league? Most pronounced under-bite in the league? Lamest nickname in the league?
Ronny Turiaf’s absence is going to the be key reason the LA Lakers lose in the NBA Finals this year.
They should have signed Pietrus with the MLE.
Rob Kurz is going to be a Warrior for a very long time.
It must be disheartening to hear “If you keep working hard, and with a little luck, you could someday be a less athletic, Troy Murphy”.
WE BELIEVE the Warriors will make the playoffs next year and they only missed it this year because of the injury bug.
Homer.

It wasn't DUI
It was driving 90 MPH … in a 35 MPH zone. Now that does take mad skill…
