NBA DRAFT 2010
TIME: 4:30 PST
TV: ESPN
For most fans of the NBA, the season ended last week when the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Boston Celtics for their back-to-back championship. But for Warriors fans, the season officially starts up again TODAY!
No, I’m not talking about the WNBA season already underway. I’m talking about the NBA DRAFT!
Today, Golden State of Mind will be live-blogging the NBA Draft, starting at 4:30 PM EST. An annual tradition, the live-blog is where GSoM blogs about rumors, news, trades and draft picks… in real-time!
We will continue to drop more rumors or draft news throughout the day (to add to what this wonderful community has and is already sharing). But, you won’t want to miss the live-blogging experience if you haven’t experienced it, yet! Don’t just scream at your television alone when the Warriors somehow manage to move up in the draft and snag John Wall only to trade him for 3 million dollars and low 2nd rounder (to get back what they traded away).
Do it with friends here at GSoM! As I said before, GSoM is one of the greatest places in the world for Warriors fans who need therapy and empathy.

I want Monroe @ #6. If the FO wants someone else, trade down and pick them later while acquiring another pick or cash.

Now Chad Ford is saying...
that #6 is up for grabs, but Ellis’s contract has to be included. I wonder what two mediocre players w/ expiring contracts could make that happen? This is one of those days where I’m going to wear out the refresh button.
Monta, Biedrins, and #6 for LeBron James.
Cleveland rids themselves of a 6/$130M albatross who plays an easily-replaced wing position.
We clear some logjams at SG and C, and get a valuable expiring contract to play with in 2015.
Win, win!

Monta+6 to Indiana for Murphy + 10
Murphy has two years left on his contract. We pick up Xavier Henry or Paul George.

2 mediocre players would be a step up
Last 3 trades have gotten us 6 BAD players and 1 mediocre injured player (Raja Bell).
Please just sell Cohan. What you’re doing to Warriors fans is downright disgusting
Ok..here's where I start reading too much into things!
Anyone see Monroe’s interview @ the Draft today? He’s wearing a Purple and Silver Tie? Hmmmm..could this mean that Sac has told him that he’s their pick at # 5? Could that mean we get Cuzzo @ 6? Wouldn’t that be nice.
Hmmm, it might not be a COMPLETE coincidence
Purple and silver are kind of weird tie colors, after all, particularly in combination. But even if it were a clue, Dr. Watson, it’s just as likely he’s trying to send a message to Sacto—“please, I’m a King at heart, please keep me out of Oakland”—as it is confirmation of some promise from the Kings. Of course,as you say, it’s probably just a tie. Even so, it would probably be as reliable as the latest Chad Ford rumor.

Hey, from a Kings fan
Who is the player you guys want the most at 6? Just curious.. obviously over at Sac Town Royalty it seems like 95% of us are hoping for Cousins.

Hey hey. We’re hoping for Cousins, but that’s unlikely. Rumors have it we’re targeting Udoh, which gives us a good reason to bitch about our ownership.

At least your front office did pretty damn well in last year’s draft, huh?

LoL
But, I saw a ton of mock drafts that had you guys taking Jordan Hill, so…
Plus, I would have thought Curry would be very similar to Monta, took guts to take Curry, although the Warriors have never been shy about drafting a position they’re already strong at.

The only players i’ll actually be content with would be Monroe, Aminu, or George, Udoh is just not my thing, i’ll hold my judgment until i see what he can do on the court in games. All i’ve heard is that he’s NOT athletic and he’s a plus defender, with a so-so motor

Guys we need to draft Elliot Williams. He is going to be a stud!!!
The rumor is that Ellis's contract and his performance
has officially made him a negative and Biedrins a neutral contract vs player. If there really is a fire sale going on, we are going to have to give up assetts to just to move them for nothing.

Cousins or bust
In the NBA you win with “Superstars / All Stars / Dominant Players”. Role players are for teams already winning home court in the playoffs. “Pieces” are for teams already in the playoffs regularly. The Warriors need to go for broke – whatever the Wolves require to swap picks and enable them to draft Cousins they need to do it. I am a Randolph fan but I would certainly offer AR and #6 to get #4 (Cousins). Taking a chance on the “best” player especially when he is a center seems worth the risk. No other player that will be available at #6 is going to change the direction of this franchise. Draft Cousins – find a way!
There is no way we'll pass Cousins if he's available
But what if he isnt?
we must trade up
Cousins – whatever it takes outside Steph.

KeWzEe
I'm thinking we pull off a trade and maybe we should.
If we can get some real good value for Cousins (if he drops to us) that is a move we have to look at. The buzz is that alot of teams are interested in him. And if the ownership isnt feeling Monroe, drafting Udoh isnt neccessary. The 6th pick in the draft is weak, but hopefully Riley is managing the phones and listening for good offers.
Other trade idea, if Favors drops to 4th I would be interested in moving Randolph and the 6th for him.

Ehh,
I’m not really worried if we 35 games next season or 25 games next season. What I really want is to find another legitiment stud All Star player in the front court to pair with Curry. Than you find the remaining pieces.
I agree Monroe is probably more mature than Favors and is ready to make and impact but who has the better chance of becoming a great player. Favors by a mile.

I understand that as Warriors fans our pessimism is almost always warranted
But I do have faith in Riley for the draft. He was a scout for years. And for the record, Evan Turner is freaky looking.

my pessimism stems from the fact that this is a 5 player draft and we’re picking 6th.

Udoh Smokescreen
Might make sense if you look at it like this. Many teams want to trade up to get Cousins. There have been many reports the W’s want Cousins. The slim chance we have of getting Demarcus is if the Kings pick Monroe with the 5th pick. If this happens, Cousins will proably be the player to slip.
Pretend the Kings pick Monroe over Cousins. In this scenario, the only thing keeping us from obtaining Cousins is if other teams believe we want him, as well. To do this, they would need a spot above us, so we need the Udoh smokescreen to hold out for the slim chance Cousins will slip to us.
tl;dr: We’re using the Udoh smokescreen because we’re hoping Cousins slips to us.
if we draft Cousins we should trade him
he needs a solid, organized program with lots of supportive mature vets to help him. we are not that team but we can trade him for a lot.
Why else would we be using it?
If everything goes according to plan, all 5 players in the 1st tier go 1-5, we’ll pick Monroe. If Cousins slips, this would be to prevent a team from trading up. This is to prepare for if the Kings take Monroe with #5.

But I figured I’d be mad if I spent money to go and we picked Udoh. I’m glad I stayed home.
I think Udoh will be a useful role player. Not a star, but he can contribute.
Probably not the best value at 6, though.

was focused on defense. not that it’s much of a consolation prize

if we didn’t have 2 exact clones of him on the team already
Udoh?
Not big enough to be a C. Except in a Nellie small ball lineup. He’d get ragdolled at C in the NBA.

It’s not that hard to picture Udoh at center coming off the bench. Who’s going to “ragdoll” him?

I liked how they made most of the teams sound good, but when it came to the Warriors they didn’t even mention Curry – just our horrible defense, different lineups, and how we gave up 112 ppg, most in 17 years.
Can you argue with them? Honestly?

Starting Lineup
Curry, Ellis, Udoh, Randolph, Wright
can't base everything on one bad workout can you?
I guess if you are rational you don’t, but the Warriors FO is anything but rational.
Anyone at Oracle?
Probably louder than game 6 of we believe. Except they were all booing!
check out the draft analysis
It’s only fitting that a troubled franchise lacking stable ownership and leadership would make the first head-scratching pick of the night. Ekpe Udoh blossomed in his lone year at Baylor because of his solid mid-range game, shot-blocking and hustle, but does the former Michigan transfer have the explosiveness or the upside to justify the No. 6 pick? If not, he’ll add to Golden State’s collection of failed frontcourt lottery picks. — Jeff Eisenberg

It will be like both Uribes of the Giants...
Except it will be Uh-NOOOOOOOOOOO
It just doesn't make any sense
We have Randolph, Wright and Tolliver (if he signs) all at 4. Now we are going to have Udoh at 4 too.
We can go twin towers at 3 and 4
Not sure if Udoh’s feet are quick enough for that, though.
@WorldBLee
