Ellis and Jackson Trade?

The poll doesn’t include the “as long as we’re making outlandish trade proposals, I’m holding out for LeBron James” option.

James and Curry are friends who knows haha

I mean…After Amare’s comments on the Warriors, do you really want him on the team? I sure as hell don’t. I hope he gets his other eye poked out now..lol. So that’s out of the question…though…I think the Suns would like a player like Ellis, but his name is Barbosa.

As for Ellis….I’m not sure where this is all coming from? I heard on KNBR this morning his " I can’t, I can’t, I can’t be in the same backcourt as Curry…" quote. But I want to wait and hear more of how he said it and how he meant it before I make judgement. A lot of things are taken out of context w/ the media.

As for Jackson, I DON’T blame the guy. He’s a passionate player who likes winning, and this organization has shown NO initiative in putting together a winning team. Every years since “We Believe” they’ve just taken a step back from the team w/ promises of big things to come. With nothing to show for it. WHY? Because we have some of the best fans in the NBA and Cohan knows he can throw out a mediocre team and we’ll be there….hoping for another playoff run.

Jackson is a NBA player, and it’s all business, I’m a die hard Warriors fan, but if I were to think that Jackson owes any of us fans anything other than going out and playing hard, I’d be stupid. And turnovers, attitude and rants aside, the guy has done that, that’s all I can ask for as a fan.

We have this organization’s front office to blame for the state of the team. Not the players. THEY don’t owe us anything, but effort, it’s the WARRIORS franchise that does owe us for the support we give them.

Just like Baron, Just like J-Rich, Just like Matt, Stephen poured his heart into the team. And it was only a matter of time before you start realizing that your not getting the same back. The contract extension was nice, but I think it was a “Maybe this will keep him tame” type of move.

Dream. On! You really think the Suns are going to ship away their premier offensive player and their starting shooting guard for Monta Ellis and spare parts? Really? I don’t mean to be overly derisive, but like the above poster said, you might as well propose a Monta-for-LeBron trade….

The dude is a volume type shooter and we don’t need that. Sure he is a helluva athlete (dunks) but the guy is getting old and it’s not like his defense was great and he’s also injury prone.

Rowell and the players

Everybody on the team obviously hates Rowell. When our players speak poorly of the Warriors’ “Front office” and “Management”, just who exactly are they referring to? It comes to Rowell. Not his henchmen, who fear execution upon the first utter of protest, certainly not the MENACING Larry Riley, and Nelson, he’s just in a league of his own, a master politician and a brilliant, stubborn coach.

You read things like, "Jackson’s lack of interest for a “fake” relationship with Rowell." Yeah, it’s fake now, quite too simply because Jackson recognized the crucial ingredient when negotiation times rolled around, that Bobby is a tool. Like a tool, Jack did the smart thing and beat the loser at his own game. The same game he supposedly was so much better than Chris Mullin at doing.

I don’t blame Jackson. I mean let’s be honest! How many of you as fans, can’t freaking stand the Warriors!? You’re just a fan. Try being a player and wading through this muck of idiocy that just refuses to release it’s hold. He’s an old school kind of player that believes in going to work. We rode that guy every game last year and he gave it his best shot. He’s just not good enough. Not his fault. I don’t buy this talk about him being a locker room cancer. I think we can get a good deal for he and Monta, together.

Ellis, Jackson, and Nelson are not the problem this team is facing. The problem is clearly the blundering Rowell. His shaftings and rapes of unsuspecting GM’s, players, assistants, and whoever other unfortunate office soul, not important enough for mention, are unforgiven and he should be made to pay for them in full.

On Ellis

Ellis is the same player. He looked good at 90% by season’s end of last year. He should be sharpened up by the time the team’s ready to go. Who knows, he may be surprised how talented and willing Curry is to share the ball and provide all the backdoor alley-oop Monta highlights on SC. That might even be enough to keep him rolling until the deadline comes along, and we have major takers.

It will be interesting to see how consistent players like Randolph and Morrow will be this season, with all the hard work they have done in the off year. If they meet a high level of expectation, and with factors like a healthy Maggette coming off of the bench (which I don’t think is credited enough), a motivated Stephen Jackson playing hard for the recognition of a contender come the half way mark of the season, and a healthy, competitive Monta putting up 26 and 5 every game, we’re really not in that bad a position. Yet. Obviously with the “Front Office” still around, anything can be mucked up.

But our team, and it’s superior role players like Azubuike and Turiaf, has a great chance of winning some substantial games before it comes time to deal and add player’s around our proven or unproven youthful talent. Hopefully it’s for (a) tough player(s) who can defend and score. And hopefully Nellie sticks around long enough to score us a nice draft pick.

  If we’re winning we won’t need to deal. Look where it got us after 07.

Maybe we can get them to shine our shoes, too. Ya’ never know!
