After watching Brandan Wright last night, it is time to start him. Al Harrington is clearly expendable. His shooting is too streaky and his inability to rebound consistently is a liability in the West. I believe the Warriors of the future will have Wright at the 4 spot and Anthony Randolph at the 3 spot.

Trying to figure out why Rowell is getting more involved now. Was there someting that made the guy need to get more involved – perhaps the whole Davis disaster?

I hope the Ws are not desperate enough to try and get Starbury.

Heck yes, I want Crittenton. He’s not a true lead guard, but this system does not require a stereotypical PG. He can score and rebound, and has the size (maybe not the heart) to defend. So if Macaroni dislikes him that much, let’s do a 1-for-1 swap with Marcus Williams (if that’s even possible). Crittenton’s moody and has some maturity issues to deal with, but that’s never been a problem in the GS organization.

I’m actually starting to like what I see in DeMarcus Nelson. He’s quick, penetrates and dishes well and plays DEFENSE.

The question is when Monte comes back, does he really play the point, or does he play the 2 and Corey goes to the bench.

Frankly, the way Maggette keeps pulling up and taking 20 foot fade aways, that wouldn’t be a bad thing.

I think Nelson has promise and unless they’re going to get someone like Hinrich, i’d just stand pat this season.

post #2, the difference is that Memphis is in full on rebuilding mode whereas the Warriors are still trying to make the playoffs by staying afloat until Monta returns.

whether that’s realistic or not is moot. the premise is there and that’s what is so indicting on Crapenton. plus who wants a so-called PG with a negative asst-to ratio? even Jack, for all his turnovers this year, still has a positive asst-to. plus the guy avged like 1 asst in 18 minutes with Memphis last year.

just b/c you saw a few highlights of him going behind his back doesn’t mean he’s a good basketball player. i can’t remember how many ppl thought white chocolate was an all star caliber point just b/c he was flashy.

The goal isn’t to find a point guard that’s talented enough to deserve playing time in the Warriors rotation. The goal is to first find a point guard that Nellie is actually willing to play, and then we can worry if they’re talented enough to make a difference.

This distinction is why Nellie is the de facto GM, Rowell is his money man and three’s a crowd. There’s another name in that office but there’s no reason to mention him, he’s just a dead man walking.

All those PGs would start on the W’s that alone shows how much we desperately need one.

Will they trade him for Marcus Williams? Given how much Nellie hates Williams’ game, it would be a win-win situation if Javaris can make Nellie’s rotation.
