Fantastic goods from you, man. I’ve understand your stuff previous to and you’re just too magnificent. I actually like what you’ve acquired here, really like what you are saying and the way in which you say it. You make it enjoyable and you still take care of to keep it smart. I can not wait to read far more from you. This is actually a tremendous website.

We already have 2 thin SF/PF players who can defend /rebound in Wright and Randolph, plus they’re coachable and young. Why disrupt chemistry? Had a pure point guard (Marcus Williams) who Nelson never played and a quite decent back up in CJ Watson (see Warriors last 8-10 games). Maggette can give points off bench and ability to get to foul line will offset any defensive liabilities.

“Farid”……since we haven’t had much luck in previous drafts……Anthony Randolph stands out a lot in most Warrior fans’ minds.

However, he is no KG or Chris Bosh, he’s a talented, young player, energetic, works hard, athletic….but he is nowhere near as smart a basketball player as KG.

He is only standing out because our recent draft picks have been terrible. So now, every Warrior fan is just looking for something to get excited about.

Mark my word, 14 ppg and 7 rpg and 3.2 bpg will be around his career average. He is not a 20ppg 10 rpg guy.

He makes too many mistakes……..turns the ball over way too much. I know he’s young, but if you put him in the category of a future HOF’er or KG, you better know what the hell you’re talking about.

KG was already ready to play and make an impact in the NBA right out of high school, he was about the same age as Anthony but KG is 10 times smarter a basketball player and has a better NBA basketball IQ.

Derrick Rose will have a better career than Anthony Randolph, mark my words.

@chris
AR is a future hof player, he has got a unique combination of talent and freakish athleticism that only a handful of players in nba possess( read lebron, durant, d.howard ) plus he is only 19! he is basically k.garnett minus postgame plus handles.
why in the hell would we trade future hof player just to get 50 wins when he can bring us to promise land in 2 years?

in my opinion if utah wants to trade ak for maggs they know something that we don’t and i would be very cautious. if kirilenko is our only option, then maybe we should wait till mid-season to try and trade maggs contract.

I can’t believe half these folks saw AK play the last 3 years…PART TIME player,even if he’s in the whole game. Last time we played them,He could not guard Morrow or Azubuike..at all. Utah had to put Harpring in because Kirilenko was pouting. The last few years…he’s show up about 5-10 min and then take the rest off. Even with bad wheels Harpring played better. Rebounds? Per minute Wright is FAR better (blocks too). I don’t think AK even matched Maggette as a rebounder.

The GOOD part…..He’s just a high price salary dump and if he sits so “The Future” olays…so what?
Don’t expect much. We will not show much plus on D but will score a bit less. Azubuike and Randolph do attavk the rim..but Mags was real good at that. We Waste $30 million on the Kirilenko era….well…..typically we’d go after a worse move.

Bosh will be VERY high $ contract and we’d be in the lux tax a LONG time. We’d be putting our eggs in one basket…..take a look at J O’Neal,Arenas, Elton Brand,Marbury, Iverson, McGrady…HUGE money and Azubuike had a better year than any of them.

Boozer….is as injury prone as Ike Diogu ( and no better on D. Ike however will be about $9 mill a year less and if you feed him in the paint-he scores.

I’d do Maggette-Crawford-Our #1, for Kirilenko-Millsap and Utah’s #1. Then I’d try trading Kirilenko to Memphis.

If we trade Anthony Randolph I’d have a hard time continuing to be a fan. He’s the only guy on the roster I feel that way about. The guy’s special and an absolute joy to watch play. Bosh is a great player but we could get him without giving up AR.

was already have the worst defense in the universe.

c’mon people! trading our two worst defenders for 5×5 is a no-brainer, DUDES.

Please correct my last post………the Jermaine O’ Neal acquisition was at the beginning of the 2008-2009 campaign, not 07-08……..my fault

Toronto doesn’t know what they’re doing……….Colangelo Jr. threw my neighbor in Blackhawk Jason Kapono, a 3 year $37 million deal for standing at the 3 point line and doing absolutely nothing else.

They go and get Jermaine O’Neal at the beginning of the 2007-2008 campaign, then turn right around and trade him along with one of their more productive energy players in Jermario Moon.

Then, …….to top it all off, they turn around and fire Sam Vincent, former Coach of the Year, the best coach they’ve had in their short history in 2008-2009.

Point being, previous offers that were rejected maybe looked at again by Colagelo. I say make an offer…….offer some young talent, if AR has to go he has to go,…………throw in what they’re looking for and make a push to acquire Chris Bosh.

Why would they let him walk away and get nothing for it in 2010. If they were a team on the way up, then you can understand how they would bank on the future and maybe decide to go a different direction after not really getting anywhere during Bosh’s tenure.

Desperate teams and desperate GMs make desperate moves,……..we need an aggressive GM who can do that.

Chris Mullin was beginning to turn into that aggressive GM that this franchise has not had in a decade.

Every new job has a learning curve. Everyone makes mistakes. Being a GM is no easy task because your every move is out there for everyone to see and scrutinize.

Give credit to Mullin for growing in the role. Again, he could have sat back and not even offered anything to Brand and Arenas……..both of whom would help this franchise when healthy.

He could have sat back and not made a push for Corey Maggette or matched Azubuike’s deal……….then it would have been back to the NBDL or CBA to turn the tides.

A big trade is needed. One that would compare to the acquisition of Baron Davis in 2004-2005 (I think it was that year…….don’t hold me to it).
