Golden State Of Mind, a Golden State Warriors community

It's always fun to look back. Biedrins didn't get his extension until a full summer later when he was a restricted free agent (with no serious offers from any other team in the NBA), but there was a pretty interesting discussion here soon after WE BELIEVE. Was Andris Biedrins another Chris Mullin/ Robert Rowell contract failure? Or was he just another player who peaked under Don Nelson?

Good for Muss. I thought he had a pretty solid 2 year stint with the Warriors. It was just silly when Chris Mullin and Robert Rowell dumped him to bring in Mike Montgomery. Guess Mullie didn't like it when Musselman kicked him out of practice during the Gary St. Jean era too much. Also does this mean the Warriors are going to eventually be the first team to call-up a coach from the D-League?

Larry Riley has overall done a pretty solid job this offseason. I'll take his 1 year run over a lot of the guys ahead of him on this list. A few very debatable points in this summary as well, particularly this one: "Anyway, it's pretty clear that, while Riley wasn't the head GM, he exerted more influence than Mullin during Mullin's final days in office. We can therefore pin a lot of Mullin's later mistakes on Riley too." Kosta Perovic for the most lucrative and dumbest 2nd round contract in NBA history? Marcus Williams for a future 1st rounder? Sorry that's all Mullin. Aside from trying to concoct a PR stunt of the Chris Cohan/ Robert Rowell variety, there's absolutely no reason why any team with a clue should hire Mullin into their front office.

If Nellie didn't have to work within the Chris Cohan, Robert Rowell, and Chris Mullin failures, I'm sure his numbers would be a lot better.
