Warriors, Stupidest franchise in the league.
"It takes a special kind of anti-mojo for a team to miss the playoffs 14 out of 15 seasons. Like, say, the Warriors under Chris Cohan."
Good times.
I get out of work at 4 and thought I was going to miss all the fun.
There's a party in my mind.
And I wish that I was there.
now Vince Carter goes to Magic....
east is getting absurd…..
Dwight, Rashard Lewis, Turkoglu, Jameer Nelson…
well i guess starts piling up in some teams in the east may spark a weapons race, weakening the west and easing our path to the playoffs. What do you think?
Turkoglu said he'd opt out
Don’t count him on the Magic quite yet. This move was made so they could resign him.

It's basically now or never for the Cavs and Magic.
Kind of like the Celtics move 2 years ago with KG and Ray Ray. Stirs things up…makes it insane over there. Should get pretty interesting, but who knows? Maybe the 76ers will come up (AI and Brand) or Chicago might shake things up again.
Anything is possible…

I think the Magic have a pretty big contention window with their superstar being so young. It’s now or never for the Cavs though. Their superstar is NY bound a year from now. It’s now or never for the Celts too. KG, Ray-Ray, and Pierce aren’t getting any younger.

Yeah
The only thing shortening the Magic’s window is VC, but other then that they’re still pretty good for the future as long as they have Dwight Howard.

Not a big deal, he’s been open about it and he seems to be a good kid. But if he drops to 7….OOOOO MAN, still think he’s the #2 prospect and maybe becomes the #1 in this draft

if evans should end up in oaktown
and not get traded off, there’s potential for at least a couple of big lessons we’ll have to learn: what does all the scouting from a decent college resume really amount to—there’s a fair amount of it indicating he has ball-hog tendencies and has to have the ball to be effective—so a possible outcome is that it’s accurate, and he’s not good enough with the ball against nba defenders to be a strong starting guard. then comes the cliche lesson—be careful what you wish for. evans also declined coming in for interviews and workouts, so there’s another unknown factor with his personality—a young guard will have the ‘benefit’ of working with ellis and jackson.

Draft countdown: The Warriors’ Stoudemire bubble, Hill’s jumper, and more [Talking Points]
- Don Nelson wants Stoudemire or Bosh badly. Shoot, so do I!
Nelson has grudingly played him because Biedrins hustles and rebounds and plays a little defense, but the lack of any jumpshot means that Biedrins is always a borderline talent in Nelson’s eyes.
Nellie’s a smart man.But if there’s no Amare, and if, when it comes to it, Nelson can’t stomach Hill’s lack of offensive repetoire (and remember, it’s always about offense for Nelson)… then do the Warriors jump the rails on Ellis and take Stephen Curry or Brandon Jennings? "They do something like that, they’ll know they’ll hear from Monta," said one source.
How about hearing he’s working on his game?- Wright could get moved for a late-first-rounder or a 3pt shooter
- Monta’s probably not happy about Acie Law coming to the Dubs
by Atma Brother ONE on Jun 25, 2009 3:03 PM PDT reply actions
two things
if monta’s unhappy about acie law coming to town, he better get some thicker skin. acie law isn’t competing for a starting job anywhere right now.
i still can’t get over the problems with shipping out a productive center for a bosh/amare rental. if we are able to extend either of them, it’ll probably be for the max and neither is a max player. i just don’t like it.
heart of a champion, will of the warrior.
Wright could get moved for a late-first-rounder or a 3pt shooter
Late first rounder would be INSANE. Wright has played well in the league and is younger than a lot of these guys. Would he be any lower than fifth if he were in this draft?
yeah
Wright still has a ton of potential too.

Hill or Curry
If Minnesota keeps the pick, it looks very likely that they will take Jonny Flynn with one of those picks, with the other pick likely being used on James Harden. Some people think that DeMar DeRozan could be a target, but that seems far-fetched. That would leave Golden State with an interesting dilemma at 7—take Jordan Hill or Stephen Curry? It seems like they would lean towards Hill, although this is a tough one to call.
by Atma Brother ONE on Jun 25, 2009 3:10 PM PDT reply actions
Minnesota
Would that still be the case if Ricky Rubio is still available to them?
by Precise Films Productions on Jun 25, 2009 3:15 PM PDT up reply actions
Interesting turn
I didn’t think Minny would take Flynn with one of their two high picks. Harden and Flynn ain’t bad by any stretch, but I figured they would take Curry.
So if all plays out…
Draft Curry = Keep Curry?
Draft Hill = Potential trade?

Bucher
Just said that Wright and #7 could be a part of the Amar’e deal. Just remember where you read it first.
a fantastic moment for US soccer. the center backs and tim howard put on a show for the ages, plus dempsey sealing it with that last goal was great. i’ve always been a big dempsey fan.
heart of a champion, will of the warrior.
Dempsey...
Me too. I don’t follow the sport that closely but I’ve liked that guy for a while now.
Now we have the honor of taking another beating from Brazil. Woohoo!! Seriously though, I think it’s pretty awesome that we made the finals. Good stuff.
Thing 2
this ain’t the brazil of earlier this decade. spain is a significantly stronger side than brazil is now. if the US plays that same scrappy, hard working aggressive style they played in the first half (and sporadically in the second), they can win that game. brazil does play a super weird style, though. some sort of modified 4-2-3-1 with robinho acting more as a combo striker/winger. it’ll be an interesting match.
heart of a champion, will of the warrior.
this ain’t the brazil of earlier this decade. spain is a significantly stronger side than brazil is now.
That’s true, but it would still a pretty big upset, and I feel like two big upsets in a row might be a bit much to ask as a fan. Trust me, I’ll be cheering them on, I’m just not getting my hopes up.
Thing 2
I'd rather trade
AB, B-Wright, Belinelli + whatever else for Amare.
Keep the pick if Curry is there. If Hill is there, take him and package him and take Wright out.

That would be $20 million of salary shed for 2010 in 24 hours. That puts them down to like $35 mill committed to 2010/11 assuming the pick up AR’s option.

Re: would you be up for committing almost all of that $20M to amare
No way. He’s too injury prone.
But if this team with Monta, AR, Amare, Maggette, Buike, Morrow, Turiaf, etc can make an exciting run and prove last year was due to some extraordinary circumstances, then maybe they could lure someone better. Who? I don’t want to get that far ahead.

The word is the Suns will try to trade up to at least the sixth pick, with Amar’e Stoudemire as the likely bait, as the Golden State Warriors are reportedly interested in taking Jennings at seven so they can trade him.

So it would be Amare Stoudemire for Andris Biedrins, Brandan Wright, Marco Belinelli, and Brandon Jennings?
Whew, even for a pro-Amare trade man such as myself, that seems very steep.

yeah I know.
That’s a whole lot. That’s like our whole future right there and a potential all-star in Brandon Jennings. If we do that trade it could make us look like fools in a couple years.
by Precise Films Productions on Jun 25, 2009 3:59 PM PDT up reply actions
yeah it would
amare gone in one year while wright, marco and andris all playing big minutes for a division rival.not to mention jennings being the replacement for nash
I have not heard Belinelli's name involved
I heard he was on his way East of the Mississippi. Two teams, but I haven’t been chasing that.
WHAT?!
But that’s a blockbuster trade. Bigger than Vince to the Magic or Shaq to the Cavs.

I would rather have 4 more years of andris than one year of stoudimire

They'd try to make sure Amare will stay first and how about
Amare for Beans, Wright and Jennings
Belinelli showed some promise before the ankle injury and could potentially play a little point

trading with the suns would be a foolish move for the wolves. they already have jefferson signed long term for reasonable money and would either have to give him up to overpay amare or lose kevin love in that deal. the wolves would do better to just hang on to what they have and ignore phone calls from phoenix.
heart of a champion, will of the warrior.
Damn
With Minnesota having the 5th and 6th pick I hope they don’t deal with the Suns.
I think the Warriors 7th pick is one of the only things that have the Suns really wanting to trade with us. DRAFT JENNINGS!!!!!
by Precise Films Productions on Jun 25, 2009 3:56 PM PDT reply actions
hopfully if there that hot on BJ
we dont have to give up Beans.
There's a party in my mind.
And I wish that I was there.
nah
That’s what i’m hoping for but I don’t think they’ll trade away Shaq/Amare and not want a young big man in return.

If we trade Andris, do you think we'd use Amare at center at all?
Not ful time, but everyonce in awhile? I don’t think he’d like that too much, I know i wouldn’t
I feel like we're all getting played.
The Warriors/Suns talk is probably just a tease, lol.

I’m not sure if i’d keep him over Wright or the 7th though.

plus his three point shooting has a rating of 87 on NBA 2k9.
Kelenna Azubuike’s three’s are 90.
Anthony Morrow’s three’s are like 93.

it is def steep
but im willing to do whatever it takes short of randolph and ellis to get amare.
he is a proven superstar and he will bring exactly what nellie needs to run the ultimate small ball lineup!

Ric Bucher just re-confirmed that trade scenario
Apparently the 7th pick is the one that is the piece that is most being discussed

That’s why I don’t want Minnesota dealing there 6th pick to Phoenix, or else Amare going to the Warriors will be unlikely unless we give up other players.
by Precise Films Productions on Jun 25, 2009 4:08 PM PDT up reply actions
Regarding the Amare trade that is being reported, it seems like the Warriors are balking at including the #7 pick. I guess we’ll see what happens when that pick comes up. The Suns would sure like to get Curry if he’s available.

07:07 PM: RUMOR: The Warriors and Suns are discussing a trade in which Amare Stoudemire would go to Golden State for Andris Biedrins, Brandan Wright and Marco Belinelli, along with possibly the 7th overall pick, according to ESPN’s Ric Bucher.
F**K REFS
That trade scenario SUCKS
I would rather have Biedrins than Amare for one season straight up. Throwing in Wright, Marco and the 7th pick is way to stepp a price to pay for an OVERRATED superstar. PLEASE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
It's all about the killer cross-over baby!
please
explain how amare is overrated?
i think the person that’s way overrated on here is andris.

amare never plays defense
biedrins is a way better rebounder, amare is not a team player, and him and ellis fighting for shots is a bad mixture unless ellis becomes a tony parker type guy
only do it if
amare agrees to extend. i think everyone’s in agreement with that
only if agrees to extend
even i agree to that

Exactly he's not worth the price if he's not a here a year from now!

Pick WILL be included
Suns won’t do the deal without the pick
Amar’e + something for AB, Belinelli, Buike, #7
the “something” will probably be Tucker
That's pretty steep
Any idea when that could go down?
