We should be looking to dump in order

Jack
Maggs
Monta
Crawford

the only reason Crawford is last is because he has a two year deal.

Its amazing how many Warriors fans think Nelson can turn water into wine .

Blow it up… B.L.O.W IT UP !!!

Marcus……thanks for not putting up my last 2 posts….I appreciate that….especially when I’m one of the more consistent bloggers and I always grace your blog with great commentary………

I don’t know what was wrong with my last 2 posts…..but I guess if you don’t make complete “homer” comments, there is a chance that you might get blacklisted on this blog. I posted as “Dave” in my last 2 posts…..you rejected both.

Just because I don’t think Anthony Randolph is the second coming of Kevin Garnett, or becuase I think the Warriors will go nowhere until they add a 4th quarter scorer/closer like # 24, #23, B. Roy, P. Pierce, D. Rose, D. Wade, Y. Ming………Marcues doesn’t want to put up my posts.

“Seer” you’re right………these fans are delusionsal.

I hear things like “I like what we have” or “I think we got something good here”………then I ask those same people how we can win half as many games as the leader in our division this year, the Lakers, and still say that with a straight face?

We won 30 games, our division leader, the Lakers won 60 games……that is a huge discrepancy and one that can’t be made up by Anthony Randolph.

Teams that we couldn’t even had a flicker of hope of beating, like the Nuggets, will get wiped all over the floor by the Lakers the next round. So if we can’t beat Utah, Portland, Denver and San Antonio, how the hell are we going to beat the Lakers?

We need a lot of changes to make this team even competitive.

The most improved teams usually increase their previous year’s win’s total by maybe 17 games max…..that would be considered a great turn around.

The Celtics turn around of 2007-2008 would be one of the best.

But if we won 17 more games in 2009-2010 than we did in 2008-2009, we would have 47 wins and likely miss the playoffs again.

We are not going to improve our win total by 20 games ladies and gentlemen, ………..maybe great teams like the Lakers and Celtics can do that…..but not us.

I can’t believe how you fans cannot see that we are nowhere close to competing for a playoff spot unless we get a top eschillon scorer and closer, one who is confident in taking and making shots in the 4th quarter, one who puts pressure on the opposing teams’ defense in the most critical juncture in the game, the 4th quarter.

Hey Marcus,
What is happening with Mullin and the worst thing that has happened to the Warriors since Cohan bought the team, Rowell?? I thought the team, including the old goat, Nelson, showed their true lack of class and care for the fans when no one faced the press after the season..

I often wonder where these 18,000 people come from that watch these dysfunctional losers..The old goat, Rowell and Cohan don’t deserve the loyalty that the bay area fans give them..I loved the old goats comments about that he wouldn’t change anything he did during this horrendous season..A delusional senile old goat, pathetic!!

Just what the Warriors need, another injury prone whiner..Boozer is bad news period..If he comes here he will be injured and will miss at least 20 games..Do we need more players with horrible injury records??

Get a point guard who can play defense..I guess Andre Miller would be too smart for these losers..

Marcus, first of all, this team needs to name a competent GM, who knows what the heck he is doing before you could even consider talking about trying to adjust the roster. The discussion about Boozer is moot until the team has someone who can decide a direction for the franchise, and can negotiate trades. They seriously need to dump the fat contract players (Crawford, Maggette) who don’t play defense, and then take a close look at the what Riley is supposed to be doing.

ECJ makes a good point that the Warriors can benefit from what they might give up in a trade for Boozer. Shedding the minutes and salary of Maggette and/or Crawford should be an off-season goal. A trade for Boozer for one year that accomplishes that is beneficial to the team, regardless of what Boozer might add.

But Boozer, like Randolph, Turiaf, Biedrins and everyone else on the team, cannot be effective unless the Warriors get a point guard. A trade that dumps Cory and/or Jamal AND gets us a point guard should be GSWs first choice.

As for Jason Kidd, he is old but his assists to turnovers ratio this past season was a fantastic 3 to 1. I would prefer the slightly younger Andre Miller (just under 3 to 1) because he is a better shooter and ran an up tempo team in Philly. Also, it looks like he wants a move. He just bailed on his exit interview. If he can’t hook up with his hometown Lakers, he might be interested in the Warriors.

Both Boozer and AK would be great in a running game. Trade Crawford, Magetti, BW, and Baldinelli for them. And get Baron back and this team will rock. But without Baron or Kidd, forget it. I would sign Matt Barnes too. He is just as good as Magetti for one tenth the price. At least Barnes can throw the ball cross court.

Against most teams the Warriors will match up just fine with Randolph at power forward. But there are intimidatingly large teams – Utah and San Antonio come to mind – that are just too damn big to confront with an all-skinny team with much hope of victory. So the Warriors need a beast. If we could get Boozer without giving up too many of our talented younguns, that would be fantastic, but I’d be happy with a bulky power forward just a notch below – somebody like Millsap, for example – somebody who can rebound like crazy and hold position against a monster and hopefully score a little.

The keepers no matter what are Monta, Randolph, Turiaf, and Morrow, and I hope we can also hang on to Biedrins, Azubuike, and Belinelli.

Assuming that no trade has been done by that time, here’s my strategy for the draft. If somebody is available who has the potential to be the point guard of the future, grab him; otherwise take DeJuan Blair, who fits the beast role perfectly.

The people suggesting that the Dubs trade BW are probably the same idiots that suggested the Giants trade Matt Cain a couple of years ago. I hope no one is listening.

Listen, the Dub’s should play Randolph at SF and Wright at PF because he rebounds and blocks shots almost as well as Randolph. The idea that Randolph would be hamstrung as a SF is ridiculous. This guy can play an of the forward positions (he can probably play a little PG when asked. The Dub’s should stop doing anything until we get someonme in management who knows what he is doing.

Pass on Boozer, trade Jackson, draft a point guard or buy one and move on.
