Well, it looks like the New Jersey Nets have agreed to terms with Anthony Morrow on a three year contract that would pay him $12 million over the next three seasons. Morrow is a restricted free agent, but after investing $80 million dollars in David Lee, early reports are that the Warriors are not expected to match the contract. With the Warriors current roster looking thin on the wings do you think the Warriors should hold onto Morrow at $4 million per year?

Come on C.J. I'm taking you to New Jersey with me!!

We've lived through dumb, dumber, and dumbest- see our historical piece 16 Years of Chris Cohan Owning the Golden State Warriors: 10 of the Dumbest Moves

And now it's (thankfully) time to start looking to the future. 

I wonder what Oracle Arena will look like in 20 years. Maybe like Disneyland's Tomorrowland?

(UTEP "two-step"... one of the greatest things from Texas)

Michael Jordan had it.  Hakeem "The Dream" Olajuwan did, too.  Kareem Abdul-Jabbar might have perfected it and made it worth pursuing. 

But we all know Brandan Wright and Anthony Randolph don’t.  Heck, the last Warrior to really have it might have been Tim Hardaway. 

No, we’re not talking about championship rings or even playoff wins. 

What I’m talking about is "the go-to-move": The impossible to defend and almost 100% score-able move that players can count on and opponents struggle mightily to create strategies for. 

I’ve wondered about "go-to-moves" for a while since many of our Warrior players, sans Stephen Curry and his ever improving 5-15 foot flip shot, drafted are offensively and defensively raw….so raw they make butcher shops seem cooked. 

Although Jordan, Akeem, and Kareem don’t "own" those moves as much as they perfected them and made these moves into iconic poses and moments of NBA history, their timeless moves have been utilized by many players and some with the same success as these greats. 

So, with that said, what makes a "go-to-move" a "go-to-move"?  And what are some of the best ‘go-to-moves’ ever?

Don Nelson's going after the all-time wins for a head coach record. Monta Ellis and his teammates are going after the individual and team turnover records (see- Polling GSoM: Will the Golden State Warriors lead the league in turnovers this season?). These are the things we cheer for during another WE SUCK campaign for Chris Cohan's Golden State Warriors.

Well here's another one to track for the history books.

From start to finish everything about this shot is just WRONG.

Golden State Warriors vs Charlotte Bobcats- boring right? I don't think so. You-know-who makes his return.

UPDATE (6:58pm): Okay in the span of a few minutes the NO vote on this poll went from about a dozen to a whopping 160.

Chris Cohan is that you?

Thank you for reading.

(We know you do by the way.)

=============

There's a quite a legacy of kindly requesting Chris Cohan aka the worst owner in all of pro sports to hurry up and sell the Golden State Warriors already here at Golden State of Mind (make the jump for the retro links). So we'll cut to the chase.

Oracle CEO billionaire Larry Ellison of the most interesting man in the world fame and the 4th richest man in the world fame will be sitting courtside at tomorrow night's game between the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland LeBron's. As the cooler than cool Monte Poole (check him regularly on CSN Bay Area's Chronicle Live with Greg Papa) notes in Larry Ellison offers hope to Golden State Warriors. We've been campaigning for Cohan to sell the Dubs to Mr. Ellison for years. It just makes so much sense for everyone involved (again we've written this a million and one times- now million and two for those of you counting at home).

WE BELIEVE in an owner who has a basketball court on his yatcht!

The Oracle house should be packed on Monday night. The Warriors are fresh off a 2 game winning streak and the GSoM Night 8 comeback where we quieted those cowbells and showed the world who The Real Kings of Cali are. King James will be in town. Please, please give Mr. Ellison a friendly welcome to the house that Dubs Nation built. Show the man why we all made The Oracle Arena the Roaracle.

I'll pass the mic to you all golden folks to conjure up some brilliant ideas to MAKE CHRIS COHAN SELL THE WARRIORS TO LARRY ELLISON... yesterday. What can we all do Monday night?

Golden State Warriors vs Sacramento Kings. GSoM Night 8. We're the Real Kings of Cali without a doubt, but what would make the affair even more royal?

GSoM friend Rod Benson!
