sam smith is blowing smoke out his you-know-what in terms of "inside knowledge" but hes probly right. MP2 is likely gone, and i wish him the best. hes an awesome guy just didnt have the instincts or smarts. as for POB, we could probly package him with the nets 2nd and grab one of the suns 1st rounders. POB could fit well into their system and they need size. i hope neither ellis nor jrich is leaving tho

There will be a few of those guys leaving the team as sad as that might be.

All these players were part of something special this year.
But back to reality...

Barnes walks for the mid-level and MP goes to some team willing to overbid on him.  Having said that, it doesn't make much sense to trade J-Rich because his 3-pt shooting becomes even more valuable since the others leave.  
Managment will try to make a deal, but unless Monta is included no one will be interested.  If the price is right, I say make the trade with Monta.  Small quick guards are a dime a dozen.

i remember that crazy rumor from earlier this year. i was hoping he had retired after that one. this one has more merit tho, we're all pretty sure that at least one of those 4 will be gone (pietrus)

Jason Richardson - it'll be a sad day when we trade Jrich.  It's kinda like he stuck with us and produced through the thick and thin of the Warriors dog days and we kick him to the curb to get to the promised land without him.  When the Warriors were struggling he was the ONLY reason to be a Warriors fan.  Some say that this is strictly all business though, but it's sad to see the Warriors getting all "Hollywood" and forgetting about the little guy that never complained and was the heart and soul of this franchise.

Monta Ellis - This guy is special.  Maybe he didn't produce well in the playoffs, but he sure got us there.  Cut the guy some slack, how many 21 year olds do well in the playoffs?  Even Kobe tanked in the playoffs early in his career.  Don't forget that Monta Ellis is the epitome of what we want Warriors basketball to be.  Basketball analysts always say he led the league in fast break points, and I wouldn't doubt it.  Not only that, but when we see our Dubs get too content with the 3pointer, Ellis takes it TO THE RIM.  The little guy shot 48% from the field as a 6'3" guard, how special is that??

I can't say the same good things for Pietrus and O'Bryant.  Pietrus sure did show some hustle, but he is replaceable.  POB was and will be a non-factor for this team.

Ellis has a higher ceiling than Richardson. Bye bye Jrich.

I don't know if Pietrus will get a ridiculous offer, but he'll get interest.  Luckily, teams need cap room to go after him and there aren't a whole lot of teams who will have cap room.  Though meaningless at this point, it's a good test of the "lock them into early extensions" vs. "let the market set a price for restricted free agents" comparing the bad deals Dun and Murphy got to whatever Pietrus commands.  Pietrus has to hope that one of the teams with cap room wants him.  He's gonna get looks, but based on the sort of offers that Wilcox got last year, I wouldn't be surprised if he's still around and not grossly overpaid.

I see no reason the Warriors would keep O'Bryant, he'll never play for them, and each year he loses trade value. I doubt they'll keep Pietrus. Nellie love Monta, and Mully love JRich, so i see them both staying. thankfully.

I bet the W's wish they could do that one all over.

I hope the warriors don't trade ellis at all. i would rather trade jrich ellis is going to be more valueable look what happened to arenas

whoever writes sam smith's payroll check should have his head examined...

Which team has who we want and who they want or feel they need in return.  I think the question is more who has more trade value--J Rich or Monta.  The rest of the discussion about POB and Cabbage, etc is only relevant to make numbers match.  Unless you throw in Foyle because then, in combo with J Rich, we'd be talking about getting a player at or over $18mil.  KG you say?

The bigger the contract of the player we want, the more it might involve J Rich unless Foyle is involved.  Perhaps Harrington could figure in any of these discussions because he has value as a player and also has a more sizeable contract.

What we don't know is who Nellie really wants on the team next season to give him the motivation to leave Maui and return to coaching.  If we knew who he would like to get, then we could make better assumptions of who we might be losing in such a trade.  Otherwise, although it is fun, we are just guessing.  If I were just guessing, I think we are more likely to lose J Rich than Monta; and I'm also guessing POB and Cabbage will be a part of any trades that take place.

Unless KG is coming in, and the front office has decided to try and win now, then I keep both of these players on the squad.  

If the warriors attempt to acquire a starting-caliber big who can rebound, then Harrington is the one who has to go.  His contract is too big for his abilities anyway.

When all is said and done, I think the warriors will stick with their current rotation.  Foyle and sarunas will be trade targets.  POB will probably be unloaded.  And the warriors will have to choose between Barnes, Chuck Hayes, Mikki Moore, and similar players to fill out their bench.  But I see all 6 of Baron, Monta, JRich, Jackson, Harrington, and Biedrins returning.
