Deron wants Howard, how we can play too

Deron wants Dwight to come and play on the Nets or he is leaving town. Problem is, Nets have nothing to offer. Here is where we come in.

Magic want to continue to sell tickets as they rebuild and have NO play makers based on what I saw in the game we played against them. Can we send them Monta and filler, they send us Hedo and Dwight goes to NJ. From NJ, we get the rookie SG who looked good against us, Marshon Brooks and their first round pick. Thoughts?

If there's any way we can help move Dwight, why not bring him to Golden State???

I mentioned this in my fanpost. GSW can offer, Curry/Thompson/Wright/Lee/Biedrins (our starting 5 except Monta) for Hedo & Dwight…. Then we have money to sign Deron Williams in the offseason

Why would the Magic want to be the Warriors?

by Missing Barry on Jan 20, 2012 4:42 PM PST up reply actions

And why would Dwight want to be on a team where the only other good player is Monta?

by miguelp on Jan 20, 2012 5:00 PM PST up reply actions

So you take on one of the worst contracts in the NBA, trade Monta for a kid who might eventually be as good as Monta, and get a first round pick in a debatable draft year? Why?

Dallas is gonna get both guys. The rich gets richer.

by J-RIDAH on Jan 20, 2012 4:10 PM PST reply actions

i would like dallas to get them too.

forget those big markets…come play with dirk. dallas would be so sick to have them. dirk is UNBELIEVABLE shooter. Deron can drive and pop and pass. Howard we all know.

Gives us hope that maybe one day we can be kind of like the MAVS if we play it right.

first step for Warriors is to get one superstar, to attract other stars

man, still hate that we didn’t get CP3. Sure, Curry has a bright future and he can be a star, but that means we have to wait for another 5 years to have the chance to get better.

by ILoveWarriorsGirls on Jan 20, 2012 5:15 PM PST up reply actions

when have we ever gotten a super star to sign?

we have a better chance making moves to get into the top part of this draft and hoping whoever we get turns out to be a star.
Thunder did it, they lucked out with Durant and Westbrook and have signed them both to long term deals.

When has anyone ever had a bad team and managed to grab a superstar in free agency?

by Missing Barry on Jan 23, 2012 9:14 AM PST up reply actions

Clippers

But that is my point. It is extremely difficult for bad teams to sign superstars, and yet people here keep saying they want Howard and Deron. We have a better chance of drafting a player who then becomes a star than waiting on a star to sign. I say blow this team up and get us at least one high pick in this year’s draft.

what superstar did the clippers get in FA?

Only way I see Dallas getting both is thru free agency and they do what Lebron and Dwayne did.

by mrorangesoda on Jan 20, 2012 5:50 PM PST up reply actions

Unless Nets can work out a deal for Howard now

If Howard ends up a net, they won’t walk. Too much money.

First step Warriors need to do to get Dwight...

Get Deron Williams in a Warriors jersey.

by mrorangesoda on Jan 20, 2012 5:53 PM PST reply actions

people see this as a bad idea?

MarShon is 6’5 and one of the top rookies this season.
The upcoming draft is supposed to have at least 3-5 potential superstars.
Hedo is waay too expensive but he is also a pretty good SF and helps us in a position we are weak in.

Curry, MarShon and Andre Drummod or Harrison Barnes could mean a great future.

by Togna Balogna on Jan 20, 2012 7:19 PM PST reply actions

I would hope a 23 year old would be one of the top rookies in his class. If he’s not, he probably has no business being in the NBA….

Hedo is….pretty meh at this point. I’d call both Rush and DW better players.

Hedo is….pretty meh at this point. I’d call both Rush and DW better players.

Really? Defensively I’m sure they’re both better than Hedo, but Hedo still got some juice in him. I’d take him over Dorell and Rush if their contracts were the same.

by DubsFan408 on Jan 20, 2012 10:00 PM PST up reply actions

I think the defensive difference is pretty big, and Hedo hasn’t exactly been that strong an offensive player the last few seasons.

by Missing Barry on Jan 21, 2012 11:11 AM PST up reply actions

He's been good this year

Call it the dwight effect. Open shots, he’s a good spot up shooter and passer.

You could also call it “sample size”. Let’s see how if it continues. He wasn’t that good in 56 games for Orlando last season.

by Missing Barry on Jan 21, 2012 12:06 PM PST up reply actions

wasn't 'bad' but yes

12.5, 5.4, 1.9 on .550 ts% is not what I want out of a 10-12 mil player

by tafkasam on Jan 21, 2012 1:40 PM PST up reply actions

Yeah, that’s not a bad offensive player, but when you couple it with bad rebounding and defense….pretty meh overall.

by Missing Barry on Jan 21, 2012 1:47 PM PST up reply actions

warriors are not getting Dwight or Deron

let it go peoples.

by Togna Balogna on Jan 20, 2012 7:20 PM PST reply actions

hedo? you want to trade for hedo?

hedo has one of the worst contracts in the league; how about this: what till after this year and sign troy murphy to a max contract; that will be the equivalent to hedo but we still keep monta! best of both!

What is so special about dallas?

am I correct that dallas is the 4th largest market and we are the 5th largest market? what is so special? why do they want to go to dallas over here? Is Mark Cuban that great?

Is Mark Cuban that great?

In a word, yes. Probably on Buss has more respect as an owner.

Since Cuban took over the team they’ve made playoffs 12-13 straight years, 10+ 50 win seasons, a title.

And beyond that, Mavs are known for taking care of there players better than anyone. Best locker room, training facilities, plane, hotels. All the little perks. First class all the way. Think DeBartolo’s 49ers. They have that repuation

by tafkasam on Jan 21, 2012 10:40 AM PST up reply actions

Yes Dallas is one of the most comparable markets to the Bay Area in the country. What’s so special about it? They just won the championship, have Dirk, and haven’t won less than 50 games in a season since Dirk’s second year in the NBA. I don’t think I need to go over our track record.
