Great 4th game for the Dubs, we lost to the Kings. Belinelli was 1 for 6 from the field and scored 6 points! He also gave up 36 points to undersized Quincy Douby.

Great!!!

Why you ask?

Because with Belinelli’s lack of D and inconsistent offense, it increases the Dubs chances of signing Azubuike. YES!!!

If Marco has 1 more bad game, I think Buike is a lock!!!

Mullin will just wait until the last second to match, so that the Clips’ remaining cap room is locked up until next Thursady and lose a week’s opportunity.

There is no reason for us to not match this $9 mil for 3 years deal (as reported by ESPN). $3 mil nowadays is cheap for a rotation player, just look at how much you pay 1st round picks who may not be even in the league after 2-3 years.

Azubuike can contribute for us at SG/SF, so unless ALL of Belinelli, Randolph AND Watson play great, Azubuike will get minutes. Otherwise, with just a $3 mil salary, we can easily trade him by the trade deadline if all of Belinelli/Randolph/Watson play well (which is good news for us).

Warriors like to play alot of 3 guard.. even with their bench players.. Bring Back Buike.. Who are you going to replace him with ?? So far it’s like saying would you trade Baron Davis and Azubuike for Maggette and Turiaf and my answer is Heck NO..

Buike did play great against Kobe.. and he’s getting better and better.. Whoever said they could sign him and if all goes bad Trade him at the All Star Break was right…

So far the Warriors are looking a little dump in Free Agency…

Why is everyone so bad on Belinelli.. he didn’t even get a chance yet… Geez… How about any of Us come to America and play for Don Nelson.. How easy would that be… Look at Bedrins though…

Danzster,
Yeah Belinelli in the NBA would put up stats like CJ did the other day against DJ Augustin. CJ scored 23, but he also gave up 30.

Darn that sounds like Maggette!!! He averages 22, but against Buike(and who knows who else) gives up 30.

Joe,
Good info. We suck, we should have done what the Clips did. I can’t believe what I just said, but we should have traded for Camby, then signed Azubuike.

Azubuike did 15/6 filling in for J-Rich when he was injured. He’s better now. Buike is a better rebounder and defender than Maggette, not too mention younger and cheaper.

The Dubs need to match. Buike is a player, at two positions, and he plays very good D. Remember how tough he played Kobe? Marco has a pretty shot when he is “on”, but he is weak at most everything else and he is a luxury the Warriors may have to do without.

Warrior killer is right… he scored a career high 28 points on Maggette his rookie year and a new career high 33 points on Maggette last season…

If we signed Barnes and MP for $3.5 million a piece last year, we better sign Buike for 3 years $3 million. Worst case we can trade him later on in the season, his value will be high.

If we don’t sign him, he will be a Warrior killer.

If we match we need to trade Belinelli for a PG(Lowry?). There’s no point having Beli rot on the bench behind Jacks, Maggette, and Buike for the next two years.
