Unhappy.

bottom line: it's a good thing that stars are finally being shipped out east, but it's horrible that it has to be from the warriors.

Shit, this sucks for him. Sure he's under jordan, but no fair.

JRich is so dedicated to this franchise. This better not come to pass. =(

As it stands, we got a raw athlete, potential shotblocking/boarding force but without real skills yet. We could hide his weaknesses like Ellis/Pietrus, and make him productive, but he has too much BUST potential, especially with the red flags about his heart and IQ.

If he's packaged for Garnett with Ellis or something, then it's, of course, great.

Argh, i wanted Al Horford or Brewer

please
move this guy to the warriors. ...hahah.

Personally, I love JRich and this trade makes me sad.

uggggh he is more a spokesman for this franchise than effing thunder.

WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHiNG! get a petition going. if there's enough outrage amongst warriors fans, maybe somebody will change their mind.

Brandan Wright
Marco Bellinelli
Jermareo Davidson
#46 coming up

btw...is Sarunas going still???

Monta
Belinelli
SF
B Wright
Biedrins

Whoa, those a four all-star players in five years.  This is a move for the future Warrior dynasty.  Or it gets us KG.  Win- win, baby, win -win.

As for the next year, its not that bad; realize that they made their great run because of Baron, SJax, Harrington, Ellis and Biedrins mostly.  Yeah JRich had some big nights but he was not why they beat the Mavs nor why they went 11-2 down the stretch.

I really admired JRich for his faithful service and total dedication to the franchise.  But that still did not blind me to his total lack of dribbling and lack of mid range game, it was dunk or 3.

Nice job Mully.

Nothing better than "The City".

Could this type of trade even happen in the coming days or would it have to be tonight?

Wright makes a lot of sense for the warriors but like all the fans on here, I am sad to see Richardson go.  Guess I have a new second-favorite team now though.

My problem with Jrich is that he's getting paid superstar/franchise player money when he's really a great #2 option, kinda like Michael Finley in his prime.  The Warriors overpaid for JR at a time when you had to overpay players to stay in Oakland.  Remember Jamison?  

Maybe Monta and Beindrins aren't going to equal Richardson down the line, but for the money Rich was making, we could probably pay 2 or 3 players.  

Hate to see JR go, but Mullin did a Billy Beane tactic.  It's better to trade someone a year early than a year late.  

Wright's tall and athletic and really young.  Early on people were rating him 3rd in the draft after Oden and Durant.  BWright certainly has a lot of .... gulp potential.  Let's hope he developms.

"The Golden State Warriors jumped into the Kevin Garnett sweepstakes with both feet on draft day, trading popular Jason Richardson to Charlotte for young Brandan Wright, whom they hadn't even worked out.

With the Minnesota Timberwolves seeking prospects, the Warriors are now offering Wright, Monta Ellis and Patrick O'Bryant.

Minnesota is asking for Andris Biedrins. Golden State is offering Al Harrington instead and may also insist that Garnett waive his $6.5-million trade kicker, so it's not done yet.

I love KG but i don't know about this trade. It seems like we are giving up way too much. Wright, Monta, Harrington could possibly be 3 starters next year. As good as KG is I don't see a lineup consisting of Baron, Stephen Jackson, Barnes, KG, and Biedrins as a championship calliber lineup. With Baron's history of injuries, Monta is key to the Warriors success. If this trade goes through and Baron gets hurt, we are DONE. I may like this deal more if instead of giving up Wright we give up Biendrins. Both of them are big men with lots of potential, but after watching UNC play, Wright seems to have a lot more talent. That's probably why Minnesota wants him so bad. It would be awsome if we could keep Wright and have him play along with KG, a player he could model his game after. Wright seems too valuable to trade.
