I say keep the young players we have. Let CJ and Marco develope. Let’s see what Williams is all about. I would only trade a group of our young players if it was for a top-tier point, a la Deron Williams, Nash, Parker, CP3, and Baron. Ooops! Did I say Baron?

Marco did pretty well passing in summer league and Kelenna also needs minutes.

I’m OK with Marcus and CJ unless Livinston has made enough progress to play right away.

This will be a real test, but I think they can survive it and be stronger from getting more players more minutes.

Or look at a trading several players for a solid, experienced point guard like Hinrich.

With the additions of Turiaf, Hendrix, and Randolph, Kosta Perovic may be the odd man out. If so, I’d like to see Mully trade Kosta for either Javaris Crittenton or Kyle Lowry, straight up.

Finally, Patrick Mills would look good in a W’s uniform, but I’d rather see that kid from Spain, Ricky Rubio. He was pretty impressive against the Redeem Team, 6’4”, 180 lbs., a brilliant passer, and he’s only 18 years old.

CJW is a player, Williams is a player…. I think that Livingston could be a player

Warriors are going to struggle in the first half of the season, but they could be the “best young” team in the league in the second half.

Go get Livingston keep CJW and role with that team. First ten games are role of the dice for every team every season. Hold on for ten to twenty games and then get a little shot in the arm with Livingston and a BIG one with Monta!

Let’s role it out and pray that there is no more miss fortune in Warrior land.

If we managed to acquire Livingston and he jells with the rest of the team, and win a decent number of games prior to Monta’s comeback, then it would be ridiculous to give up Livingston especially if he makes an impact.

So if we keep him and Monta is back, then we got a stronger team as a result and we don’t have to worry and regret about the Baron Davis’ years anymore.

It would be the right move and a good move, but not a difference maker. I don’t think signing Livingston would make 1 bit of difference.

He is from Chicago, thereby giving the bulls a chance and training with Jordan’s old trainer, but still, he is a talented young player, hopes were high when he came in the league with the ‘Clips’, but again, I know this game too well and Livingston’s performances would not even contribute to adding 5 wins to our win total in 08-09.

I don’t care either way.

Monta is a great young player and I love his game, he is among the top 5 young best backcourt players in the league along with: Chris Paul, Derron Williams,Brandon Roye, and Devin Harris, hands down, the best young back court players in the league.

We have to remember we are trying to convert a 22 year old kid from Mississippi into a Point Guard in a 3-4 month period. It will take much longer than that for Monta to become accustomed to the position, he may never develop fully into a classic Point Guard, which is what I think. Remember his assist to turnover ratio was terrible last year. Fact is, Monta turns the ball over and didn’t look to pass in most 2 on 1 fast break situations last year.

Playing through the season will add to his growth at the position. There will be wins, losses, poor decisions with the ball, turnovers, all of these hopefully will be part of the successful growth of Monta at this position. But be ready to see specific losses because of Monta turnovers or poor decisions with ball. Again, he’s a great young player, butI know basketball too well.

But Ewok said it the best, and this post is probably more applicable to the ‘Monta Lost’ article rather than this ‘Shaun Livingston’ article but your’e exactly right Ewok, no matter how much Monta distributes the basketball and lowers his turnovers, we are still going to look to him for between 18-22 points every single night, no questions asked. He is our point guard, but he is also among are top 3 offensive options, that is my biggest concern with his injury, point production.
