Golden State Inks C.J. Watson- Warriors MEANINGLESS Offseason Continues
UPDATE (9/10/09 10:40am): Also make sure to check out some sharp words by GSoM buddy Matt Steinmetz over at FanHouse- For C.J. Watson, It's Not About the Money
Allen Iverson to the Memphis Grizzlies [Straight Outta Vancouver] (WHY?) isn't the only big signing of the day. The Warriors have re-signed C.J. Watson [Warriors.com press release]. As of this writing the exact terms of the deal have not been disclosed, but I'm guessing it's for 1 year and a shade over 1 million George Washingtons.

Maybe I should have titled this BREAKING NEWS: Warriors Continue String of MEANINGLESS Offseason Moves.

Polling GSOM: "Captain" Jack
Originally posted Aug 29, 2009 10:16 AM PDT

Interesting news that Jax wants to be traded. I wouldn't call it surprising. He's a loyal guy. Loyal to people he's close with, not necessarily the Warriors franchise, Cohan or Rowell.

New Found Trade Money: Warriors can now trade Speedy Claxton and Acie Law
It has been a long, intriguing (Amare Stoudemire rumors and Stephen Curry pick), but mostly unproductive offseason for the Golden State Warriors following their absolutely dismal 2008-2009 season. Radical upgrades were almost promised if not strongly intimated by the organization at the beginning of the offseason. However all we've really seen from this front office and ownership are some financial moves. It looks like they're content to being sub-mediocre next season (again x15). Barring some miraculous player development, the Warriors are about to miss the playoffs for the 15th time in 16 years under Chris Cohan's incomptent ownership. That's.. a joke that no one's laughing at anymore.
But today Tuesday August 25th brings some hope. Jump to see why.

Belinelli Traded, World Does Not End: State of the Warriors after the trade
[UPDATE! it's still not a big deal!]
You can generally tell it's a slow news day with the anchors start off talking about the weather. It happens a few times a year. Anchor trying his best to look interested: "Our top story: It's cold! Record low temperatures that break the previous record set in 1973. How are people coping with it? Popsicle sales are way, way down! But not in Seattle, where it's hot! Popsicle sales are at a record level in Washington and Oregon."
And you can also tell when it's a slow sports day when trading Marco Belinelli causes so much commotion. I chose to attribute it to a slow day and an off-season where nothing consequential has happened; the alternative is to admit that a collective insanity has gripped the Warriors fans. Marco Belinelli, we hardly knew ye, and had you not been traded, we probably wouldn't have known much more. With more than 900 Belinelli-related posts in the first 24 hours after it was announced, posts about him now outnumber his minutes played last season. Oh the humanity insanity!
The real news: this trade was just not that big a deal.
But inconsequential aside, where does this leave us? How has Warrior-dom change? Follow the jump for the break-down.

Exploring the rumored Crawford for Claxton and Law Trade: CBA and salary implications
I have no idea how reliable the sources are, but ESPN seems to be discussing the proposed "Crawford for Law and Claxton like it has real legs. (Perhaps the legs stolen from Speedy, hence his state of perpetual inability to play). The NBA's own website is similarly posting it as a not yet done deal, but one that's in the works. But as "it's more than a rumor goes", we are all still rather in the dark as to what, when, and, perhaps, why.
Big questions abound. Important questions. It isn't quite "what did the president know and when did he know it", but at least as far as our Warriors go, it's "what do we know about the trade and could it possibly be real?"
