Marcus, please don’t forget to make a comment on how well the W’s played the other day against Portland.

Not only did we move the ball well, play D, but most important the players looked like were having fun!

Ellis stepped up and played like the leader the W’s and their players and fans have waited for.

Good writing Bro.

Marcus,

Any chance the Warriors retain Chris Hunter when CJ returns, and release a non-productive player (George or Claxton)?

M34 @29: Some of us have been here all along. MT II is the best source of information and analysis about the Warriors. Hopefully, this site will not become as overwhelmed/polluted as Adam’s.

With the problems figuring out the SJM blogger changes, it’s revealing which posters this morning have been able to figure out how to get here.

11-where have you been, on a Nellie hating vacation island? The W’s would LOVE to have Bell play. They talked him into going in against Boston and maybe tonight. But he’s having surgery, imminently according to reports–his choice. And he’s an expiring contract, meaning he’s a f.a. and if he waited to have his surgery after the season ended, he’d be 34 and unable to play and negotiating a new contract.

If he intends not to retire, only an abject idiot would put off the surgery. And he’s not that. On the other hand if he was thinking of retiring and wanted to get into coaching, we could offer at worst an assistant coaching job to him if he held off the surgery at least until we’ve gotten some other bodies back. Even a player-coach with some kind of security. But this is a longshot and I really don’t know his wishes on retirement and coaching. Otherwise he’s under the knife and it will be his choice not our wishes. Not everything in the world can be blamed on Nellie, even though many here seem to like to believe it can.

Where’s Adam’s blog? The biggest news of the year, and no Lauridsen? No Fast Break? What’s going on here?

13, I’d guess he has a contract that might make that costly or impossible. Otherwise I’d go along with your idea here. Josh is no superstar but his style of play one would think would fit with Nellie’s use of a lp guy and anyone with some skills down low would make us a better team. I’m guessing he’d take about mid level moneys, at the least and without a trade of our expiring contract guys, which wouldn’t happen in this case, it would be a stretch to imagine Cohan going along with it. But given the emergency, it might be possible, if his contract has an out. One other possible problem, does anyone know if Atlanta retains the rights to Josh?

M34 @ 22: I agree with you about Monta’s change of attitude. Along with Randolph and Morrow, Monta also praised Raja’s show of team spirit in putting himself into the game against Boston. Ellis sees the trade’s benefits to the team, and he has quickly dumped whatever loyalty he had to Jack.

I think everyone should hold off on trade mania for a few games. I’d like to see how this team evolves, especially once Biedrins and/or Turiaf get back on the court. I am sure that roster changes will be needed; but dumping Ellis is no longer an immediate need, or even the obvious move.

Nice job, Perry! What do we need to do to get Riley’s ear and flood him with any number of deals that could actually benefit the Warriors as well as other teams?
