Warriors Game Day Links: Golden State Warriors 110 vs Charlotte Bobcats 121 - The ugly streak continues

no apologies necessary

The losing makes everything look ugly. On a winning team, Monta’s 26ppg would look spectacular, even with the turnovers. Just like what’s happening to Steve Nash being 2nd in the league in TOs, his team is winning and as a result no one puts a lot of emphasis on his flaws most of the time.

I say we trade Ellis and Vladamir Radmonivic to the Nets for their first round draft pick. First of, it will save us a hell of a lot of cap space. Second and more importantly, we would have 2 lottery pick which can very well be pick #1, and #2 or #3. With these picks we should pick John Wall and Derrick Favors. John Wall will play our starting pg to fill monta and favors can either be backup to randolph or starting PF. Worst case senerio we get Patrick Patterson and Willie Warren who are pretty good players themselves so this trade can’t hurt. Our linup would look something like this:

pg- John Wall
sg- Stephan curry
sf-corey maggette
pf- Derrick Favors
C- Andris Beidrins

bench: azabuike, randolph, wright, anthony morrow, turiaf, watson, Raja Bell, 2nd round pick/FA/ D- leauger/ undrafted player/ summer league standout

I would also expect us to trade a 2 or three for ones to get more cap space and less players. Players that I see being traded by next year are beidrins, wright, and Cj Watson.

Also next year I think it would be awesome if the the warriors would have a team pre-game stratch so that nobody pulls anything or hurts themselves as easy. I was at this game and the only players I saw stretch were beidrins and maggette.

We need to change managment for our team to go anywere we just do!
 This is what has to be done:
Chris Cohan/Robert rowell – Larry Ellison
Don Nelson- Byron Scott/ here is a new name for you Keith Dambrot(Akron University Baskeball- I don’t know there is something i really like about his coaching)

I didn’t mention Larry Riley on purpose because he’s only been the gm for less then a year and hasn’t done anything bad. Time will tell with him.
Yeah so tell me what you guys think of my idea.

I’m on on the fence about trading him just because the talent is so high. If we kept him and got a new coach in here that can take control and utilize Curry & Monta correctly, we’d be a lot better.

Right now, I think Curry has probably stolen a few votes. As far as winning the award goes, he’s going to need Evans to regress especially in the scoring. If Curry can work up his scoring to around 18 points a night and Evans drops to around 19.5 points a night, he has a shot at stealing the award because he’ll be right up there in assists, beating him in steals and shooting a higher percentage.

move Curry to the bench, give him lots of minutes I think. If that doesn’t work, you move Curry.

and the warriors as currently constructed are no 6,7 or 8 optimism only goes so far in reality

Since we’re the Warriors, we’ll win the lottery and then John Wall will get hurt and miss most of the 2010-11 season. That’s one scenario. In the other scenario, we end up with the fourth pick or something like that. The latter is more likely, of course.

He tells Monta and Maggs and guys like Jack and Baron that there the guy and there the boos out there. A lack of a true offense affects that.

Ellis didn’t score until until I believe at least half way through the first quarter of the last few games. He hadn’t been taking very many shots and he was getting more players involved offensively. The problem those offensive players can’t do much offensively.

I love the complaint recently of Ellis not being a team player he’s averaged 8 assists the last five games and over the last six he’s averaging 7.83 assists. The problem hasn’t been Ellis not passing the ball or getting teammates involved.

It’s the execution of those plays. How many times can a player for the Warriors get a decent look and miss that shot. How many times can Don Nelson go away from getting Maggette to a spot on the floor offensively where he can attack the basket and get to the free throw line?

There’s a reason why the Warriors are losing and Ellis is not one of those reasons. None of his teammates are stepping up to get the Warriors a shot at winning some games.

There’s absolutely no defense still! The Warriors have to be the worst team when it comes to defending the three as well, they don’t rebound and unless Ellis grows another seven inches over night the Warriors will continue to struggle rebounding the ball.

Andris Biedrins has been terrible of late. Against the Bulls Biedrins looked like he was back with 9 points, 19 rebounds, and 8 blocks, but he has gotten nowhere near that since. Biedrins has regressed mightily from the free throw line and even Turiaf has regressed from there.

The only thing that has been a disappointment with Ellis is his free throw percentage he has to get it up. If he did he’d be scoring around 30 a night.

Cartier couldn’t shoot but play outstanding defense and rebounded very well. Coby Karl doesn’t do either.

Nazr Mohammed (16:33 min): 6 points, 10 rebounds (plus 6)

Andris Biedrins: (16:33 min): 4 points, 7 rebounds (minus 6)

For God’s sake, Biedrins, just be a top 15 starting center.

If Biedrins isn’t feeling well still not 100 percent put him on the bench and let him get to 100 percent because right now he’s playing as well as Vlad and that’s not saying much.

but I’m not even sure if the philly would do that.

Thad Young is garbage: not a good rebounder, not a playmaker/passer, not an efficient scorer. Maggs and Buike are much better players (as will be whoever out of Turner/Johnson/Aminu falls to us, I suspect). I’d marginally prefer Young to Maggs because of his cheap contract, but then his cheap contract is what precisely what scuttles your proposed trade, since Philly wouldn’t be unloading enough salary. We’d probably have to take on Kapono or Lou Williams as well. Bleh.

On the other hand. Monta for Iggy straight up does make a lot of sense. Iggy’s not the electric scorer/finisher Monta is, but he’s longer, a better rebounder, better passer, better at D — in all, a much better complement to Curry. His ability to slide over to SF would also be pretty big plus in the event we luck into Wall. From Philly’s perspective, they get a guy who’s two years younger, with a bit more “star quality,” and a somewhat less onerous contract (5/$55M, as opposed to Iggy’s escalating 5/$68). They also suck, so like us, might be interested in making a move just to shake things up a bit.

Curry
Iggy
Turner
Randolph
Biedrins

Wright, Turiaf, Morrow, Buike, Maggs

Heck, I’d consider parting with Buike, Morrow or Turiaf to make a Monta/Iggy deal happen…

He went to chill with Jack probably
