Larry Riley is a Keeper. SERIOUSLY.

Really? Wow… lol

lolwut

Well, when you put it that way….

Love it !!!!

you should make that last line a little more noticeable.

I thought things were going in the right direction this off-season, and even thought Larry had a lot more acumen than people credited him. But we had very tradable assets along with an exception that we could have used. There is no reason why we couldn’t have traded Vlad and Brandan for an exceptional player or even a high pick. I’m frustrated that the Warriors didn’t put to good use at least one of their assets.

On one hand, the Dorell Wright signing makes me curious to think about what Riley could do in the off-season. On the other hand, I think it makes the most sense for the Warriors to completely restructure this franchise and begin from the ground up. Everybody goes, from Monta to Jim Barnett – everyone.

I don’t see anything wrong with finding D-Leaguers that are currently in the NBA. Nevertheless, rec’d for hilariousity.

he’s out with a torn achillies.

Jamal Crawford – If I remember right he took up about $14mil/year and had two years left. Espn radio said that Bibby was moved from Atlanta because their offense relies on iso plays rather than creative passing. Useful to score, doesn’t play D, doesn’t pass. We already had Maggette and Monta to do those things.
Raja Bell – He had no obligation to resign. Would you rather be on a team that could go deep into the playoffs or a rebuilding Warriors team?
Marco Belinelli – Agreed insofar as right now it would be great to have him as a backup 1/2 guard. I blame this more on Nelly not giving him PT. Always liked Marco.
Maggette – A necessary contract dump. Surprised we got the expirings. Building any kind of team could not be done with his play and contract.
David Lee – I wish everyone would just shut the heck up about him not performing, or his lack of D. He was brought in to be a low post threat. He is. He was brought in for his rebounding. He has been rebounding. Remember these facts:

1. During the free agency, the only way for the Warriors to get anyone of note is to overpay because no one opts to play for a team notorious for playoff droughts and terrible management.
2. People complain that Udoh doesn’t have Greg Monroe’s talent. This is true. Udoh has a completely different set of skills which Monroe himself lacks. If you’re looking for a guy that can go off for 25/15, we have him, and his name is David Lee.
3. This guy has heart. He played with a friggin hole in his arm because he wants to help his team win. Fans are basing his performance off of stats he got when playing injured.
4. He has character. Shown through his actions on and off the court. Lee will stand up for his team. He will sacrifice his body. He will be a positive influence on every player in the locker room.

The next time I hear someone complain about Lee, I want to hear valid options the team could have explored. $80 mil is a lot of money, but every credible sports writer knew that the only way for the dubs to get talent is to overpay, (Maggette). Saying that, I would like to see Lee bulk up a bit…..adding a few pounds would help him hold off bigger PF’s

I dont understand how fans can be so impatient and hateful towards a man that is slowly turning this franchise around.

Whether it is sarcastic or not. I’ll take it to the dome and believe it like it was whole-heartfully spread across this planet as Warriors Blue painted success and permanently presssed.

That’s cool if you folks want to take the negative road. I plan not to. Maybe because I am absolutely naive and annoyingly overly optimistic that things will be alright.

When things go well it will die down unless you are born to think pessimistically and stay that way. We’ll win a championship and you’ll still find ways to complain. whatever. go ahead and live that way.

I just hope all of those who perpetually complain about this team speak up later on how negative you were.

Seriously. Chill folks. The basketball God’s granted us with NO MORE COHAN. We have Lacob, Riley & Keith Smart who I trust today and believe are doing a great job thus far for what we have. Ya’ll act like we completely suck and have absolutely ZERO WINS for the season. Be freggin happy or be more patient.

We didn’t land another SUPERSTAR before the tradeline. SO WHAT. i like our backcourt with Dorell with David Lee with Udoh and with all our players that want to play for us. Although it isn’t displayed through our current record, I believe this is a recipe for success if you impatient bastids would just chill.

Im RIGHT. You’re WRONG. I dont care what you say.

If you guys still want to be stuck in the Cohan past and blame that for our mediocrity today, then go ahead. It’s a waste of time.

The road to success takes time. We are learning from our history. We are taking the first step with new ownership and we aren’t cruisin’ backwards anymore.

Move on. Move forward.

Maybe if you quit expecting so HIGH of a reward you all would be a lot happier. Roll with the punches and keep your head up.

You will be granted with something greater than expected if you figure that out.

You all have different Warriors perspectives than me but still chant GO WARRIORS with me….

So for the time being. SHUT UP.

Thank you for your damn cooperation.

Go Warriors still.

Riley on knbr said cap space isn’t important , that is really dumb. Miami and NY went from bad or meh to playoffs easily through free agency. He said he’d buy 1st rounders . First off would that eat into cap space? 2nd off , buy 1 then deal it for Tawn

13 recs is pretty embarrassing.

Having Larry Riley as GM is like dating an ugly girl who’s a friend of your sister because you owe your sister a big one. That’s the day that you run into the most beautiful and fabulous girl you ever laid your eyes on and fall in love. However, she sees you with the ugly girl and thinks little of you. Now, if you were with an equally beautiful girl, then she might take it as a challenge and be even more interested in you.

Anyway, the moral of the story is this is all Larry Riley’s fault. One of the biggest weaknesses of the Warriors is rebounding. So what does Larry Riley do before the trading deadline? He sends two of our bigs out for a second round pick and a guy who’s been getting dub-dubs, but he says that he’s gonna buy his contract out because he’s already been here. That’s really idiotic on Larry Riley’s part and why Larry Riley should be fired posthaste. Not only that, he says that he’s going to release Troy Murphy before the trading deadline. That’s another idiotic thing to say! If he did not say it, then there was the possibility that someone would trade for him. For example, what’s wrong with offering Dorell Wright and Murphy to the Celtics for Kendrick Perkins? Wright’s much better offensively than Jeff Green and shoots the 3-ball much better. Riley even said he wanted Perkins, but he could not figure it out.

some of the things that were meant to be sarcastic were kinda true.

Every move Riley has made has flown completely against conventional logic…how does he still have a job.
