d.gorge is an aging vet with no skills left i would have took grant hill instead he can at least give u 10 or so off the bench jus by gettin to the line i guess riley gets the money for “searching” for a good deal huh.

….sad…..bring ‘em in…..let ‘em ride the bench….play them when everybody else is hurt,…..if they are showcased, show a little, go down to normal basketball innjuries, then you never see them again…and then you trade them for a washed-up wreck….i got an idea! how about Biedrins for somebody’s rusty Studebaker? And Anthony Randolph for a jar of licorice….sounds like the thinking of the puppet Riley, the demented Nelson, and the idiot of idiots, Rowell….my god…

PhilB: Right on. Marco was at least a trade asset. Now we have fewer players to offer in trade for a point guard, which we need a lot more than a fourth small forward.

Warriors make one bad move after another, year after year.

Like a lot of people on here have already said, this is purely a financial move. D.George is a horrible pick up and won’t provide anything in terms of skill or b-ball iq. I don’t care if he is a vet he is trash and is just gonna take time away from AR. Who doesn’t think George is gonna get more playing time then he deserves b/c Nellie thinks he can remold him? I just don’t get it, why do some people on here think that this is just a smaller move in a larger scheme to get a FA. What justification is there for that other then someone pull’n it out of der arse?

COHAN is not going to be spending any money for the next couple of years if he retains the team b/c of the dwindling cap. There are a couple of people saying that the warriors will only be having a roster of 14 this yr. Plus when we have had contracts that we can use for trades or to make a move and have them used?(Example 9 million trade exemption that was wasted).

I have to come to grips with the fact that any move from the dubs is going to be a cost cutting moves..period, end of story. There is no Boozer, there is no Odom, no Bosh, no AMARE…None of these guys are not coming here. Anyone who doesn’t think that is just foolish and I have some swamp land that I think you would be interested in.

Ohh and so much for our own over-valuation of our players. Remember we can value them at whatever we want, but the league decides what they are actually worth, case in point Belli for George straight up…Good move Riley, your gonna be great at this job. It doesn’t even seem like belli could have netted us at least a 2nd rd draft pick or maybe Riley was told not to try to keep cost down?

“increasing the potential for distraction and potentially hurting team chemistry.” Unlike wayward mopeds and banishments of team greats. This team has as much chemistry as I do as a social science major…..none! I loved watching Bellinelli but I do have to say he seemed like an walking injury during his time. More time for Morrow is ESSENTIAL! Obviously what stings is what we got for him…nothing. It is an expiring contract but under 2 mil…big woop.

I’m a big Warriors fan and i agree with this trade. We are too stacked with guards. I still think we will have a good team. Belinelli will be a good player for the Raptors.

Wow…didn’t Marco has some trade value? They just traded him for a bag of Lays potato chips. Unbelievable.
And please don’t tell me they want to package George’s contract in a play for Carlos Boozer. Carlos is not the answer at PF. He consistently gets OWNED by Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom and bigger PFs, especially after the injuries.
Only silver lining I see in all of this is that Anthony Morrow should get more minutes…

Larry Riley makes ROd Brooks’ head explode:

“We’re looking forward to adding a veteran with Devean’s experience to our squad,” said General Manager Larry Riley. “He is obviously a proven winner and has been on several very successful teams during his career, which is something we feel is important when you look at the youth on our roster. He is a versatile player and someone who we feel can contribute both on and off the court.”
