Few ideas:

Lets start off with trading Steph for Chris Paul. Is this a good idea? Would you do this? Do you remember how well Paul and Ellis got along during the rookie sophmore game, and all the alleys and exciting highlights they produced?

 

Our roster right now:

PG: Curry, Lin

SG: Ellis, Bell

SF: Wright, Williams, Vlad

PF: Lee, Wright, Udoh

C: Biedrins, Gadzuric

 

What it really looks like is this:

PG: Curry, Lin

SG: Ellis,

SF: Wright, Williams,

PF: Lee, Wright,

C: Biedrins,

Vlad, Bell, Gadzuric, and Udoh: I see them all sitting on the bench in suits. They are all garbage minus Udoh, hes just injured..

So i propse a question to all of us, Who should we sign to back up Ellis, and Biedrins, and possibly another small forward out there that can play a numerous amount of positions and someone who knows our system well? Also someone to back up lee, because i feel wright will be in and out this season with that shoulder injury.

Star-divide

I will start us off:

1. Chris Paul or Stephen Curry make great fits at the Guard spot, but i feel Paul would play better with Ellis. Curry has a better 3 point shot then Paul, but i rather us keep a dynamic, quick and small backcourt because itll screw with the opponents teams and make us hard to cover. Also Ellis isnt terrible at defense, when he wants to play he can. Chris Paul and Ellis would be a dream come true, like when they both played well in the rookie sophmore game. Not to mention David Lee was on there team to, and it looked like they all had good chemistry together.

So i would have to say pull the trigger and trade Steph, before CP3 goes to LA or the knicks and makes our rivarly team better, or turns randolph into the star he was ment to be on our team and takes away our chances of getting Carmelo next season. I dont want to see Steph and Ellis fight for a season and complain. THis will lead to most likely Ellis departing and im a big fan of Ellis. He made a mistake and we neeed to forgive him on that moped accident. I dont want to have a hole at the guard spot if they cant get along.

 

People we should sign are Shannon Brown, Matt Barnes, Anthony Toliver, and a big guy like Fresnko or Shaq!

I feel Shannon Brown would be a great backup to Ellis, and he will bring back those J rich dunks we all miss. He also has the winning mindset coming from the lakers. He has many great things about him. Great Dnker, big body to go with Curry or Ellis or LIN!.... 4 Year deal.

 

Matt Barnes because he needs to bring we believe back to the bay. I feel Wright and Williams are going to be good, but Barnes is better then George and alot more mobile and he can play from the 1-4 spot and he knows our system well and 3 of our players ellis, wright, and biedrins, not to mention our crowd and our coaches. 2 Year deal.

Anthony Toliver must be resigned becuase the guy can play ball and spot up and hit the three. He gives us that advantage by taking a big man out of the equation because he can play from anywhere. He would be a decent backup to LEE. I dont know how confident i feel about wright playing the entire season or even 20 games. So Anthony Toliver would be a great pick up again seeming how he played with us last season and produced tremendously. Also him and curry have a little chemistry as well. We should give him a 2 year deal.

Fresnko and Shaq:  Fresnko only because hes young and seems like the only decent big guy out there. Id only sign him for a year.  I say shaq because he attracts alot of attention and could get us into the bonus quick. He also can run a few pick and rolls. He can be a good leader. Id sign him for a year, and try to go after yao next season or kendrick perkins. If not im sure shaq wouldnt mind playing for us again.

 

When all said and done, we should have a lineup that looks like this:

PG: Curry, Lin, barnes, brown, ellis

SG: Ellis, Brown, barnes,Bell

SF: Wright, Williams,barnes Vlad

PF: Lee, Toliver,Wright, Udoh, barnes

C: Biedrins, Shaq,, Barnes Gadzuric

 

We would have a solid starting five roation. Curry Ellis, Lee, and Biedrins are locks at their positions, but we can feel the three spot in with wright, other wright for size on the nights we need size, wiliams, barnes, brown.

Curry and Ellis would have great back ups and if eaither were to get injured, it wouldnt be like were asking for a prayer from the backups, because we know they can produce. Our frontline is getting there.

I think

Shannon brown only wants 2 mil a year.. barnes mid level. and shaq mid level .. and idk howmuch toliver wants.. but i think we can do it.. and we just got a ton of trade exception from watson and morrow so i think we could defntly sign these players especialy with the new owners with deep pockets!

we can do it..

we just got about 8 million from watson and morrow.. im sure we can devide that up between brown and toliver and give them both 4 million.. give the rest of mle to shaq.. and then barnes we would just have to sign him and go under cap or just tell owners to pay outta the pockets if they can even do that haha.

by CurryandEllisEqualBestBackcourt on Jul 22, 2010 12:49 PM PDT up reply actions  

Sorry, but...

Trade exemptions can’t be used on FA’s unless you do a sign and trade. Are you suggestion that we do sign and trades for Shaq and Brown? Also, MT2 reported that we only got 2 million in trade exemption for Morrow due to subtracting our qualifying offer from what he signed for. If you do the math for CJ then we should only get about 1.5 million. So… your facts are off a bit in terms of the cap space and maneuvering that the Warriors can do.

Curry has the potential to be better than Paul.

In the abstract that the future is a total unknown, perhaps. In the “what they did their rookie years” or “what they did at the same chronological age” or the “raw physical skills”, Curry does not really have the potential to be better. I think Curry can be a very, very good player. Paul is putting up the sort of production at the PG position that only a couple or so PGs have ever achieved. He’s really that good.

Signing any of the aforemented players will be hard

The Warriors are some where around $61 to $63 million in committed money for this season. Presumably Dorell Wright was signed ($3.5 mil 10-11) via part of our mid-level exemption ($5.3 mil this season). That means we only have $1.8 million in exemption money level to sign an FA, otherwise the league wouldn’t allow it. We can only go over the soft cap if we are resigning/extending our own players or trading within the 25% mark in salary difference. The Warriors also have a two trade exemptions and low level FA exemption. I believe 2 million from Morrow and 1 million from Watson trades. They can’t be combined, therefore the best the Warriors can do is a sign and trade.

If you’re going to suggest picking up Barnes (not going to happen), Brown (unlikely to take a pay cut), Tolliver (probable), Shaq (no way he’ll sign for that little) or Fesenko (possible) then please use some logic and explain how we can afford them under the $59 million soft cap? Otherwise, your post is just going to be ignored/mocked by the majority of the GSoM crowd.

Well...

I think Williams is going to take some of the back court minutes when Curry comes off im sure ellis will play point or bell will come in. Bell could also play the two so I wouldn’t be worried with our back court because it’s filled with combo gaurds(and now lin is in the mix). I think williams will be our sixth man and get almost 30 minutes per game. That is assuming Wright wins the starting job. As for backing up biedrins? I think Wright and gadzuric will do.

We could contend if we had a solid bench again.

Our starting five is good. if they could show up everynight and play well vs. opposing teams… a bench is all we need.. bench that can get us 30 to 40 points a night…
i feel

LIN, Brown, Williams, Barnes, Toliver, and Shaq all great guys who can get us some easy points… and we could do so many things with that lineup…

by CurryandEllisEqualBestBackcourt on Jul 22, 2010 1:09 PM PDT up reply actions  

Yeah … it’s hard take your “solid bench” too seriously when it includes (1) an undrafted Ivy-Leaguer who has proven zilch in the NBA; and (2) Shannon Brown. There are very few NBA players as bad as Shannon Brown. He’s basically Gerald Green, if Green had had the good fortune to ride the LAL gravy train. Wait, check that … looking at Green’s numbers, Brown is worse than Gerald Green. That’s kind of the hoops equivalent of rhyming with orange.

Meanwhile, Tolliver sucks and 2010 Shaq is borderline toast.

On the other hand: Matt Barnes, We Believe stuff aside, was a borderline stud last season. I’d love to snag him on the cheap, if all his other suitors strike out.

There will be no extra point!

We are not trading for Chris Paul

I know he is great but the trade makes no sense on a multitude of levels. We already gutted our team for Lee(which was a good trade) We already have a good point guard. We already have a problem with defense with two undersized guards.

If we are going to trade for another max contract guy why would we trade at the PG position. Curry makes rookie money still and he is more than serviceable. It is not good use of our money. If we go after an expensive guy it should be at a position other than PG and PF.

It's not about the accident

it’s about the fact that he played very poorly last season. It’s also the fact that his defensive ceiling is below average because of his size. The organization is paying $11 M a year to a defensive sieve who can’t be a team’s primary scorer.

I have a hard time blaming the injury ...

… because Monta, physically, looked 100%.

He had the same ability to beat his man to the rim – a skill at which he’s one of the best in the league.

Monta’s poor production last season was caused almost entirely by his atrocious decision-making. He’s even showed us that he’s capable of making the correct pass at the end of a drive – it’s really not a problem of ability. He just chose to shoot rather than pass far too often.

I have a hard time, therefore, blaming his injury.

by Ronaldinho on Jul 23, 2010 11:07 AM PDT up reply actions  

To be fair, WHO was Monta supposed to pass to?

Lets just give this team a chance, Monta included, Monta proved that he is an allright option if he is the only option, but not a star if the only option. IF and I do say IF this team is healthy, I see Monta as feeling more comfortable passing, Driving the lane and Being a team player. do not forget that Monta had rookies and D-leaguers the last couple years as his passing options. given the same options I could see a lot of players doing exactly what he did. I remember when the Kobe and the Fakers did not have other options he got criticized for same things. and NO I am not comparing Monta to Kobe however Kobe had a better team surrounding him and still felt all the pressure to carry his team. SAME way Monta has felt. GIVE THE KIDS A CHANCE TO PLAY TOGETHER !!!!!

You lost all your credibility when you said to trade Steph for CP3.

Chris Paul is better than Curry as of now. Sure. But why the hell would we get CP3, someone who wants to win now? If we’re lucky, we’d make the playoffs with him, but a championship would be an unrealistic goal. And plus, CP3 would LBJ us in a couple years, bolting off to some evil Dr. Pat Riley team…

If you had made this thread, say, in 7 years, maybe this thread would make a little more sense. But giving up on Curry after his rookie season is just outright ridiculous.

by Sensei Ben on Jul 23, 2010 12:26 PM PDT reply actions  

Curry and Paul backcourt

I do believe Paul would come to play with Curry and Lee, but not with Ellis. And I believe GS can make the trade happen. GS has plenty of options with all the trade exceptions and high priced bench players. Ellis is an exciting player, but he is not the future cornerstone of an NBA championship caliber team IMO. Curry is, and Paul is.

Getting Paul would be like the second but better coming of Baron Davis and this infusion would get the Warriors to the playoffs and maybe deep if everyone stays healthy. Perhaps trading Ellis and the new injured rookie and whoever else or whatever else for Paul or whatever the numbers need to be.

Not new, but just saw this piece on Curry @ http://www.csnbayarea.com/07/29/10/Steinmetz-Coach-K-High-on-Warriors-Curry/landing_steinmetz_v3.html?blockID=279658&feedID=2799

"You knew he was going to be a player," said Dell Curry, now a broadcaster with the Bobcats. "But I don’t think anybody could have imagined, himself even, a year that he had."

Chris Paul begged to differ. The New Orleans Hornets point guard, who has worked out with Curry in the past, participated in the golf tournament to benefit a community center Curry volunteered at when he was in college.

"Stephen was unbelievable," Paul said. "He didn’t surprise me by anything he did. I’m fortunate enough to get the opportunity to be around him and see his work ethic and things like that."

I didn’t know Paul and Curry had history. I’m even more interested in a Curry Paul backcourt. And it looks like Paul might like it as well.
