Jason, what makesw you think KG has a choice? Minnesota can trade him to wherever they want. The NBA doesn’t have no-trade clauses.

You guys are sniffing glue! Why would KG want to go to Oakland? Oh yea, he wouldn’t! Best post on the thread goes to the guy who wrote “we still got this!!”
HAHA HAHA HA.

Would an all-star PF help our team win a championship … probably not because we would need to play healthy all year long and get favorable matchups in the playoffs. The construction of our team is geared to run, run and run just like the Phoenix Suns. Unfortunately, we have no consistent rebounder besides Biedrins, who have to been included in the package for the trade to make sense for our trading partner. If Mullie can get someone like KG or ONeil for the price of only Ellis … he should get GM of the year. Seeing the woes of Vince Carter, and the workman contribution of (coulda, woulda much maligned Oaktown native Gooden) … the Warriors have the tendency to draft for potential and simple ignore factors like free throw shooting percentage.
Only the gifted but volatile Jackson and whipping boy Sarunas shoot over 80% which is key in playoff runs. As much as we can dream about landing KG, this series would much different if Pietrus would of knocked down those two key free throws. With no playing time to Foyle (shot blocking and rebounding) or Sarunas (high free throw percentage)… banishing our bigs (taft, diogu, Foyle and OB) … the Warriors will live with the three and die with the three.

If the Warriors could win Game 5, I think they’d win the series. That
said, I don’t believe they’ll win tomorrow night. Look for Utah to play
their best game of this series and send the Warriors home “fishing”.
Regardless, the Warriors deserve a standing ovation for their inspired
play the last two months. The ’07-’08 season should be even more
exciting. Speaking of which, if you’re Minnesota and the Warriors, do
you make the following trade…….Biedrins and J-Rich for KG? I say
“yes”. Azubuike has shown flashes of great potential, and given the
chance to play meaningful minutes next season, could quickly make
Warrior fans forget about losing Richardson in any trade. Also, aren’t
Stackhouse and Nachbar free agents-to-be? Along with the previously
mentioned trade, I’d love adding one of those guys while saying goodbye
to Pietrus.

Everything played out just as I said. So who thinks the Jazz aren’t a great road team now?? Well thats what happens when you think you’re just gonna roll over someone at home. The Warriors obviously bought into what everyone was saying (media included). “Oh there’s just no way the Jazz will win in the Oracle.” Well I would like to be the first one to welcome everyone back to reality. The W’s are too undisciplined to be here right now. And I am embarrased by what Baron and Jason did at the end of the game with their cheap shots and flagrant fouls. Especially Baron, our so called team leader.

Better? No. Good option? Yes. Marion. Milicic. Nene. Elsen. Randolph. Al Jefferson. Obviously, some of these guys, the Warriors would have to go out and get. But they’d be cheaper than “him.”

Marcus,

Is there anyone other than “you know who” that the warriors should be targetting to fill the hole at PF?
I just think that the asking price for him is going to be too high.

So much for Warriors in 6…I guess I’ll need to return to my Warriors Anonymous “One Day at a Time” stance.

And yes, Marcus I fully agree that they need a big 4 to rebound and key the fast break. Especially that guy whose name you didn’t want to mention. Rebounding and free throws are huge weaknesses on this team. Al Harrington was the only guy who played great for the Warriors last night, but obviously he can’t guard Boozer at all. He’s really a “point center,” if such a thing exists. Put put a real hoss of a 4 on this team and I think you have a legit title contender.

Just sent you this in an e-mail, too:
Tough loss. The crowd never seemed to be in it.
But now all the pressure is off. I think the Warriors realize now that it was a fun ride while it lasted, and that there weren’t any expectations. There certainly aren’t any now. Look for the Warriors to come out relaxed in Utah. I think this will be to their advantage. They won’t be as rattled by the crowd. They play their best when there’s no pressure. Warriors in 7.
