Howdy! Do you know if they make any plugins to protect against hackers? I’m kinda paranoid about losing everything I’ve worked hard on. Any recommendations?

hey marcus, i do feel you on that one tho. fans should respect players regardless even if their desire is to be traded or what not. and booing certainly does not help the situation at all. its kind of like the crabtree situation..its different as a player..much different i bet.

@ #47 – what you’ve got here are 2 separate deals:
Biedrins and Jackson for Ilgauskas, West, and Darnell Jackson.
And, Ellis and Maggette for Kirilenko, Brewer, and Fesenko.

I don’t like the idea of giving up Jackson for Ilgauskas, but Jackson can give Cleveland a better shot at the championship and Ilgauskas’ expiring contract can help the W’s land an all-star caliber free agent in 2010. However, Andris Biedrins is an awesome center for the W’s; especially for the price, and I wouldn’t want to trade him for Delonte West and Darnell Jackson, who have no use to the W’s until their contracts expire 1 year later. Delonte West in particular has a mood disorder and personal matters to attend to before he can be of use to any team in the NBA. Is he even playing? Sorry, no deal.

Ellis and Maggette – two 20+ point scorers, with Ellis having the potential to become an all-star and Maggette guaranteeing to drive to the hoop, score and/or get to the free throw line. The W’s already have a better player in Anthony Randolph than Kirilenko, who makes $16.5M a year; that’s almost double Biedrins salary and he’s got another year after this to go. No wonder Utah’s got financial problems and at best AK47 can only give you 15 PPG. And although Brewer and Fesenko have expiring contracts, when the time comes to trade Ellis or Maggette, the W’s should be able to get a lot more than this. This deal is too lopsided for the W’s to even consider.

Ellis is one of the few guys playing defense right now.

I just heard the clown Warrior TV guy say Nash was the best pg in the league, over CP3. Is he drunk?

“Ellis and Jackson mostly pass to each other or Biedrins (that’s not all the way fair to Jax, I admit). Maggette and Azubuike don’t pass to anybody unless something opens up while they are trying to score.”

Classic observation and a product of Nellie’s system having people think they are better than they really are. Monte has had the Baron/Jackson syndrome rub off on him and now he feels like he’s a superstar! He’s Not! Good player but come on now, your not that good pass the ball!!!!

This is rudepelican’s fantastic trade idea from the Warriors Forum. This solves all problems, including cap and better chemistry for the Ws, backup for Shaq and more O for Utah.

GSW

1. Curry / West / Watson / Speedy

2. Morrow / Brewer / Law

3. Kirilenko / Azubuike / George

4. Randolph / Wright / D.Jackson

5. Ilgauskas / Turiaf / Fesenko

Utah

1. Williams / Maynor / Price

2. Ellis / Korver / Matthews

3. Harpring / Maggette / Miles

4. Boozer / Millsap

5. Okur / Koufos

Cleveland

1. Gibson / Williams

2. S.Jackson / Parker / Green / Karl

3. Le bronJ / Moon / Williams

4. Varejao / Powe / Hickson

5. Shaq / Biedrins

MARCUS: Thanks for this article, and for all of your work on the Warriors. You are the best source for GSW info and analysis.

My take on Jack is that he was over-the-top rebellious in the pre-season, in order to make sure that the Warriors committed themselves to trading him. He now knows that the commitment has been made. So, he can go back to playing hard, without anyone thinking that he has softened on his trade demand. Smart guy.

Jack’s play on Opening Night was as good/bad as last year, nothing to indicate that he is still rebelling. His box score shows that he had a decent game. So far so good. As long as Jack knows that GSW continues to shop him, they can all be patient and look for a good deal.

It’s only the fans, particularly the bloggers (by definition, fanatics — me, too) who have a problem with patience.
