So the Warriors just lost the instant scorer Monta Ellis due to a high ankle sprain. He'll be out for a few months wish all fans know is way to long in a NBA season. What should the organization do during the time Monta is out? Should we just wait till he gets back and to 100% which should take a couple of months depending on how bad the injury was, OR SHOULD WE GET A TRADE GOING?! First I'm going to see how the team does without Monta for the first 6 games. If we start off with another 6 game losing streak that would only bring the team's morale down and their performance would suck until Monta returns not at full strength. If the team is at least .500 or above I would let the team keep playing till Monta comes back. If we are below .500 I think we need to start a trade. I say we trade Harrington just because he hasn't been living up to the expectations the team thought he was capable of so he would be an obvious trade choice. Another guy I think would be good in a package with Al would be Maggette. We have plenty of talented players in the 2 guard position so why did we need another one and why did we over pay him? I'd say trade both players individually  or separately  as long as we either get  a legit  nba star, a legit BIG MAN, or a really good playmaker point. YEAH I HEARD THE POSTS AND EVERYTHING "MONTA IS THE POINT GET OVER IT" whatever. His a 2 guard he'll always be a 2 guard. Look at Allen Iverson they gave him a point in Denver and he started playing better. We need to make a move soon because I got kind of used to this winning thing and I'd rather see the team make a move that will help the team win then see them go back to the 30 win team they used to be.

Personally I don't but it may feel like that much time will pass again without Baron Davis, top 5 point in the league, WAS the best player on the warriors. Baron opting out may have been conceived from 3 possibilities. 1) The owner being a cheap skate like he usually is 2) Mullen not pulling the trigger on either signing Baron or getting a trade that would bring a equally skilled player to the warriors. 3) I heard Nelson had beef with Baron which pisses me off cause Nelson played a part if the warriors failing to reach the playoffs this year.

Not only was Baron Davis leaving the Warriors as the best player lower the Warriors chances of being a successful team but his absence from the roster made a division rival that we were originally better then that much better. This only adds to the West's already dominate list of teams.

What the Warriors are now lacking player wise is a REAL DOMINATE big man, and a dominate point. We have to get both if we even hope of getting into the playoffs again.

If there is any upside to Baron leaving please post cause I really can't think of any.

Whats all this talk of trading Baron Davis. You're talking about trading Baron freakin Davis the guy that turned the entire franchise around in 2 and a half years with help of course.  He is probably the 2nd most consistent player on the team besides Monta. He brings the energy and the soul to the team when they need it the most. Trading Baron with one more year left on his contract and while his in his prime would be straight up stupid. Monta is not ready to lead the team yet especially with his lack of true point guard skills, plus we have to vet to teach him besides Baron. Baron is untradeable at this point and time because of what he obviously brings to the team and every player has his off nights we just notice his more because he is the face of the team. I would personally like to start the Shawn Marion movement. What Marion brings to the team: reliable defense, scoring from all over the floor, reliable rebounding, knowledge of run n gun basketball. His basically a stronger, bigger, more athletic Harrington without the focus on the 3-point shooting. We could trade Pietrash, Barnes, Harrington, POB, Kosta and some draft picks becaue Miami wanted Pietrash and Barnes last year so I'm guessing there is still some interest. They need a center there as well might as well use the centers we are not using. Lastly, I think Nellie should stop coaching the Warriors. I didn't say fire or let go, what i meant is he should be promoted to some executive position and let someone like Keith Smart take over or any coach that has a run n gun mentality but with a bigger emphasis on defense, rebounding, and has an actual rotation. This season when the Warriors wanted to play D they did but most of the time we either lost or we were to late to act. Rebounding, I don't know about the rest of you but I don't think the less rebounds more forced turnovers thing worked out this year. Why not have both. Nellie obviously overplayed his starters. Baron, Monta, Jax, Al, and Beans were exhausted as the season went on. We have a bench, Nellie never utilized it to its potential. Decent Centers in Kosta and POB, not good decent. Croshere was whatever, could be easily replaced for some young guy, Wright was so under used this year it was not even funny. We got Kaz, Belinelli, and Watson to give a to the best back court in the league why the hell not use them. Nellie's theory of playing the vets first is stupid. If you have talented rookies use them for God sakes.
