Now Now, Let’s not all get testy. You all have some good basketball points, and everybody is entitled to there opinion. Let’s look at this thing objectively. The W’s are a very young team without a floor leader. Many of there players are cast in role not well suited for them, starting with Jackson at point forward, Maggette at power forward, Crawford at the point etc. Letting Hendrix go was typical and perdictable but not wise on the part of the W’s. Hendrix showed promise in summer league, and briefly during training camp. The W’s arn’t going anywhere this year anyway and should have taken a wait and see attitude with hendrix and tried to buy out Marcus Williams contract. They’re not going to play him anyway. The trick here is to establish your starting 5 regardless of Matchups and substitute as the game dictates. This way the young players will develop in a manner consistant with their strenghs while playing their natural position and the team would develop some kind of unity/identity. You can’t assess talent when player are always playing out of position. This is a simple game that nelsons has somehow complicated. My starting 5 would be Andres, Ronny, Jackson, Maggette,Crawford. After 5 or 6 minutes Either Andres or Ronny would come out substituted by Wright. Randolph would initially come in for Jackson and the W’s could go big at certain times during the game,while buike would come in for Maggette, and cj for Crawford. Everybody else would get in sparingly. When Monte comes back it would get trickier, but initially Monte would come off the bench for the first 3 to 5 games which means cj would be pushed back in the rotation and Maggette would come off the bench. The bottomline is the bigs would get more time, the rebounding would improve, the defense would improve and the team no doubt would improve, which leaves us where I stated at the beginning of the year that we needed a top notch Power forward to turn the page. nough said!

Great hobby…..you seem to have things in order and a good/logical head on your shoulders. Why so much anger? The good points you occasionally make are completely masked by angry rants and unnecessary vulgarity.

I come to this blog to read Marcus and his inside info on them team. I have to admit though, it is very entertaining to read the rants of people like you that rode the pine of the JV team in high school and watch the games on TV, and think you have all the answers. Keep up the good work!!!

Get A Life……I’ll certainly make a note of your suggestion, thank you.

I don’t expect anyone to read my stuff, but people do,…….don’t lie,……you read it too, otherwise, why would you comment on it.

But also, I don’t see any single post on here from you that talks about basketball or sports or coaches or gms or players, do you know anyting about basketball? Or do you just stop by here, change your name every time, and comment on my shit?

Eric,

“How can you say giving him the extension was a good move? The W’s have dealt with public embarrassment and scrutiny in how they handled the situation with Ellis, which all would have been avoided if they never game him the extension.”

I want to draw your attention to the following that you said:

which all would have been avoided if they never game him the extension.”

Who, do you propose we should have planned to have started for us at point this year, genius?

You may need another hobby other than playing fantasy GM/Coach of the Warriors. No one comes to this blog to read you fundamentally flawed daily dissertations. GET A FREAKIN LIFE

The Warriors need front court players to balance out the roster; provide versatility on offense, and bulk up the defense (in other words, give Andris Biedrins some help). So why are the Warriors trying to dump all of their big men. First, Al Harrington for Jamal Crawford?! Then you want to give up promising youngsters Randolph and BWright for Ray Felton?

WTF!!! I suspected that Don Nelson (with assist from Rowell) was trying to ruin the team. Now I’m convinced of it.

Eric, even if we offered the 1 year tender, he still would have had the moped accident, right?

Sounds to me like you wouldn’t care if they didn’t extend Ellis at all, that is basically what you’re saying.

The moped would have happened if they gave him a 1 year tender as you would have preferred. The only other scenario other that offering him a long term contract was to let him walk. So you fall right in there with your opinion.

You don’t care if they extended him or not, period.

The reason why I say “WHy Felton?” is because Raymond Felton is not good. Ever since coming into the league, he really hasn’t done anythign to show that he could be a contrinbuting starting backcourt player on an NBA team.

All of your comments point toward the fact that you wish that they never extended Ellis, period. Read your comments carefully, the more you write, the more you sound like you wish they let Ellis walk.

C’mon Eric, be honest with yourself, are you kidding me about some of your comments? I mean, you sound resolute with the fact that you would take Felton over Ellis, your posts seems to point to that.

You’re looking at everythign in hinesight after the moped, but the extension was one of the best moves of Mullin’s tenure. Monta is stupid and he would have done the moped if he had a 1 year or a 100 year contract, if he was playing for the Golden State Warriors or the Los Angeles Lakers, doesn’t matter, moped would have happened anyway.
