watson is signing the qualifying offer. i knew their greed would bite them in the rear. who in the world would give a first round pick now for a guy that could walk at the end of this season? maybe the warriors would but i meant a real team with a real gm. now all he could be is a filler to make a trade work or just another expiring contract. the guy goes from a first round pick to a filler. REDICULOUS!!!

The Magic might still pull the trigger on the proposed trade: CJ Watson FOR AJ+1stRound+cash+TradeExemption. BUT now they don’t have to. Riley completely overplayed his hand.

Four small combo guards under contract: Ellis, Curry, Law, and Claxton (plus a log jam at big guard), and you want to keep Watson? All this talk about liking Watson was a smoke screen. Maybe he signs a one year qualifying contract, occupies a roster spot that is sorely needed for another big and leaves next year for nothing.

i want to add something else. there is still a possibility that the magic and gsw have something in place and may be working together to force cj to sign a deal that the magic like. i could be wrong i just don’t see how the warriors could turn down a 1st round pick.

the deal might still be possible with the magic. otis smith did say nothing is dead but like i told someone the other day. curry HAS to be developed so you HAVE to give him playing time and they are stuck with monta. $55 million big ones. no one is giving up a quality big man for this guys contract. so you already have your point guards whether u like them or not. watson is the 3rd guy. you can’t turn down a 1st for your 3rd guy i don’t care if it’s late.

Some of the top All-Stars were late in the first round or even late in the second round, such as Ginobili.

“D” and “Commish”…….I like your guys’ non-homer approach……..

Good posts.

The way some of these guys are talking about Riley…….you would think they were talking about Jerry West or Mitch Kuptchak.

Riley is not shrewd by any stretch of the imagination.

He is the 2nd coming of our long lost friend, Garry St. Jean.

I may have misread your post…….”NYC”……looks like you’re just “half-hoping” they move Monta for a big……….

My fault if I misread…..

You know how this organization is………no moves will be made.

Here is a move I would love to be made:

Ellis and Randolph for Devin Harris and Brook Lopez

“Warriors NYC”…….how the hell do you know they’re “shopping Monta for a big?”

This organization ain’t shoppin’ shit, fool.

Your NY source is smoking PCP.

A move should have already been made by now……..not by the trade deadline in February 2010.

The time has passed, the train has left the station……our roster is set for 2009-2010……there are no moves in the making.

Magic just signed Jason Williams, so they probably gave up on CJ Watson.

Maybe Riley should have taken that 1st rounder from the Magic.

Even if Watson comes back to the W’s, he may well find himself at the end of the bench out of the rotation by the end of the season.

ESPN is reporting that the Magic signed White Chocolate…another opportunity bites the dust. Looks like we are stuck with CJ. I half hope Riley wants to keep CJ because he is trying to move Monta for a big and is slotting SC/CJ at the point.
