This blog looks good. However, it would improve your visitor retention if you can make the website design more professional.

I think the W’s should sign Brand and then trade Harrington to Detroit for Billups.

i think the W’s played the cards wrong with Baron.

They could have signed him and traded him….instead they let him walk away without anything to show for it? Not good. Somebody fell asleep at the wheel and should have maintained conversations with Baron or his agent the day of the opt out deadline or the day before….so that the W’s knew his true intentions and planned accordingly. Lets hope they get Arenas or Brand otherwise ownership just suckered season ticket holders.

Please please stop bringing up Arenas as an example of the Warriors making a bad decision. It has been noted over and over again that the Warriors could not offer Arenas anything close to what his market value was due to the rules at the time. There was nothing they could do to keep him. That’s why the rule was changed afterwards. Also its uninformed to suggest that the Warriors don’t spend enough money. In fact with Dunleavy, Murphy, Richardson and Foyle the problem was that they spent too much money on mediocre players just to show loyalty and commitement. The Warriors play within the salary cap limits just like almost every other team in the NBA outside of the Knicks and maybe the Lakers. The Spurs and Detroit our top teams and they don’t spend anymore on players. The issue is spending the right amount of money on the right players. It helps when you have an all-star and a top 25 player or two to build around. That has always been the Warriors problem. As good as Baron is he’s not a player like Lebron, Duncan, Kobe or even Chris Paul that you can build a playoff team around and the Warriors could not afford to pay him like he is. Thats the reality that Mully was faced with and what we as fans have to wake up to.

guys, lay off mullin! think about it; if its true that the dubs were offering a 2 year contract, and the clips a 5 year deal, baron has no choice but to go to LA. But by offering him 2 years, mullin did the SMART thing. As much as everyone loves BDiddy, he has always been hurt, and even tho he played 82 games last year, am I the only one that remembers that he was almost completely invisible the last 6 weeks of the season?

We have a boatload of $$$ now, so before we rip management, let due process run and see if they can get Josh Smith or J. Crittenden and go from there. If they sit on this money and do nothing, then i’ll be on my megaphone ripping Mully and co along with the rest of the ‘Dub nation.

The Warriors were stuck between damned if you do, damned if you don’t with Baron. If they had signed BD to a long term contract along with Beidrins and Monta then what? At best they would have continued to fight for the last playoff spot in the West for 2 or 3 years with no real shot at being a top contender. Baron is a very good player but not a great player. He’s probably the 4th best point guard in the West behind Nash, Deron Williams and CP4. What the Warriors desperately need is for one of their young players to develop into a star, a difference maker. That is where Baron will be missed the most but I believe Baron had taken this team as far as his talents were going to take them. Nellie and Baron made the Warriors relevant again but their style of play can only take a team so far. If Mully can make a few right moves we should end up with a more balanced team with a brighter future.

Baron will not regret this move. It gives him some long term security and take him home to LA. It is the Clippers who will regret overpaying him … especially come years 3, 4 and 5 of this contract.

We are saving $$ for Salary Cap but for what? Ws have been doing that for years but don’t have anything to show for it – no star players…

Baron did not play a full season – agreed. At the end of the day, he was there at the end of the season to help and try to get us into the playoffs. He delivered during the playoffs. If had a better team around him, Ws could have gone deeper into the playoffs. Now the options being throw around are Josh Smith? Jason Terry? If your lucky Chauncey Billups??
Holly Molly!!

Should have given him the money and played for three to four years. His expiring contract would have been attractive to other teams for a trade down the line.
