Golden State Warriors 1st Round Draft History and Just My Imagination

What if the Warriors had a string of PERFECT drafts with their 1st round picks during the Chris Cohan era of prime suckitude? What if there were no busts and only draft delights for this franchise since Cohan sued his way into owning it back in 1993?
What if this guy never owned the Dubs? [via images.forbes.com]
Why am I so scarred to look up how little my basketball card collection is worth? What can possibly be any better than what lies after the jump?

Nellie Knows NBA Draft: The Warriors and Mavericks Years

What can I say? I'm a real sucka for NBA Draft history. My friend and fellow Dubs fanatic Adam Lauridsen has researched and put together a thought-provoking piece Nelson on Draft Day: An Appreciation over on Fast Break, which examines the 14 drafts Don Nelson has been the head honcho in the front office of the Golden State Warriors and Dallas Mavericks. Unlike Chris Mullin's spotty draft history, it's hard to argue with Nellie's draft and scouting acumen. This is one sharp and shrewd hoops mind.

The Mullin Myths: Chris Mullin made the Warriors a franchise players wanted to join

The big word around The Town yesterday was that the Golden State Warriors elected to not renew one of their most popular players of all time Chris Mullin as a front office executive and decided to promote Don Nelson's right hand man Larry Riley to the GM spot [Warriors.com]. GSoMers have had a lot to say about the official transition.
For various possible reasons there seems to be a ton of myths about the Mullin front office era, perpetuated by the media at large (most of whom probably didn't know the first thing about the Warriors pre- 2007 NBA Playoffs) and some mostly bandwagon fan analysis plagued by a case of selective memory. Some of it romanticizes the 5 years of Mullin reign and some of it is simply unfair criticism.
Today's topic is the unfounded notion that Chris Mullin made the Warriors a franchise players wanted to join. Jump like you're dunking for some d-bunking.

Draft history Part I of ???: on trading picks

With the draft lottery still a little more than a week away, it is too early to really recommend a 'draft strategy', but it is not too early to look at what becomes of various picks. In this multi-part pre-draft assessment, we'll look at various aspects of the draft, including trading picks, drafting for need vs. talent vs. tossing a dart at a board with a bunch of names on it and hoping for the best.
Part 1: Trade up, trade down? A little history on the perils and potential windfalls of swapping picks.

Nellie and Mullie: No Hall of Game This Year

Unfortunately for Warriors fans there will be no Basketball Hall of Fame inductions to provide a much needed silver lining to this very frustrating 2008-2009 Dubs campaign. As GSoM friend MT reports neither Don Nelson nor Chris Mullin will be inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame tomorrow.
Use your Hall of Fame quality hops for some thoughts.

As the Boston Celtics and the Boston Three Party ride into the venue formerly known as the Roaracle tonight, I can't help but ponder- What could have been in the town.
What am I talking about? Kevin Garnett to the Warriors of course.
We Believe 2.0 would've been fresh!
Jump like KG swatting a soft Patrick O'Bryant layup in Celtics' practice last week!

Nas boldly proclaimed "Hip Hop is Dead" back in 2k6.
In September 2k8 it's time for us all to recognize that We Believe is Dead.
If We Believe should die before I wake
I'll throw on a Warriors Foam Finger and wave it all day
Roll to every game at the Roaracle and don't forget it all started with my boy the Fuzzy DJ
Roll to every game at the Roaracle and don't forget it all started with my boy the Fuzzy DJ
We Believe just died this mornin'
We Believe just died this mornin'
We Believe just died this mornin'
And she's dead, she dead
We Believe 2.0 coming to a Roaracle near you in 2020!

Warriors Present in the Future's Past

You can find Golden State Warriors everywhere.
Reason being is that they’re usually traded before their rookie contract expires, forcibly ejected or fully knowing that they wouldn’t re-up with a franchise that embodies the chaos exemplified in film Titanic (watch the scene where the ship splits in half then goes down with people plunging to their death or others ‘jumping ship’.)
I made a random trip to University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill -- or rather Tar Hell country (and country it was) -- to see my sister get another degree and it ended up being more than just vinegar-based BBQ. Knowing my life-long love for basketball, my sister took me to their newey constructed "Carolina Basketball Museum." No there weren’t no wax statues of Michael Jordan (or Jeff McInnis). But after going inside, you could probably call it the ‘Hall of the Warriors Past and Present’
