No brainer: Pick up the option, and do it NOW.

This kid’s gonna be good, and the surgery in these cases almost always works; it ain’t like an ACL.

True, we’ll lose him for a long time, but if he’s back by March. . . . .

of course you pick it up. the price is still cheap enough that it equates to a below average big man like Najera or Reggie Evans. as long as Wright continues to get stronger, he’ll at least be a good back up PF. not someone you depend upon, but a good back up player at a decent price.

even if he gets injured again, insurance covers the costs for Cohan.

I’ve had this same injury and surgery on my shoulder. It is a very common operation and while it is a long rehab (6 months) it is 95% successful. It is not the same as a knee surgery. Once he has the operation he will likely not have another shoulder injury again.

So absolutely pick up the option.

By the way lots of players have had this operation and they always come back without problems (Chris Webber, Chauncey Billups, etc)

Definitely, GSW should pick up Brandon’s option. Mikki Moore is not the long-term solution at back-up power forward. Even if he was, the Warriors would be throwing away a future trade chip if they did not extend Brandon. Plus, GSW should finally show respect Brandon’s effort, size and skill. And if they are going to extend his contract, GSW should do it right now. That would give the kid a boost, and maybe create some rare goodwill.

I think they already did. It was reported in the SF Chronicle or on Yahoo somewhere I was reading.

But, If It Were Up To Me,, HELL NO This guy is a bust and we could find somebody much better to back up Randolph through a trade with his expiring contract or over free agency. He is oft injured and cost the team a valuable player in J-RICH in that stupid trade. I Hated That Trade and Wish We Still Had J_Rich cause the Core Would Still Be Intact and We Would Be Better Off. Bollocks!!

Definite maybe.

If the team thinks the problem is chronic, it’s probably better to let him go. It’s not worth having a player who will never physically be capable of playing a complete season.
