Read my post again……….I said the best drafted guards in the last 20 years…….whether they played a minute in a Warrior uniform or not.

“B Nell”…….my list goes back 20 years…..Tim was drafted in 89……that’s why he’s not on my list…

I’m not putting Steph higher than Tim……Tim’s not even on my list because he was drafted in 89.

“Pete” …….I meant “Penny” all the way…….. my list says, “The last 20 years”……Tim was drafted in 89,

I don’t care whether or not Penny played a game in a Warrior uniform or not……as far as sheer talent goes…..he was # 1 in drafed guards for the Warriors of the last 20 years.

I was just playin’ in relation to bringing Gilbert back, just threw it out there for fun, if he was a free agent and cheap, yes by all means but trading for him will mean his contract will still be in play, not sure anyone will trade for Gilbert with his knee problem history and contract.
But if he is a free agent zero then………..

Earl Monroe is right on in wanting to acquire Arenas. He’s a difference maker and a big enough guard to play next to Ellis. Two problems exist right now:
1) Will Washington void his contract? If so, he’ll have his pick of teams he wants to play for. I’m not sure he’d want to play for the Dubs.
2) How long will his suspension be? Stern looks to be taking a hard line on Gil’s shenanigans.
Those two things being taken into account, I say trade Biedrins, Curry and Claxton for Gilbert and JaVale McGee. Numbers work, we get one of the most dynamic offensive backcourts in the league and we get a back-up, young center to tandem with Turiaf.

Ellis has shown he can score, defend, and distribute well, but he won’t make the All-Star team because his team sucks. They are looking up at the Clipper, and Kings in the standings and are almost out of the playoff race already. Only way he gets in is if each team had to send a representative, and that’s not happening.

[...] Marcus Thompson II’s blog entry from earlier today posited that Ellis’ chances were dwindling because of Tracy McGrady’s continued presence in the No. 2 slot among Western Conference guards in fan balloting, trailing only Kobe Bryant. I’m sure you know the details — McGrady starting over Steve Nash means Nash will soak up one of the reserve spots selected by coaches, whereas if Nash were to beat McGrady, the latter wouldn’t get anywhere near the team.

Perry,

I think you meant Tim Hardaway.
We did draft Anfernee “Penny” Hardaway. But we traded him and 3 future first round picks for Chris Webber on draft day…

How can you count Penny as the top Warrior guard and they guy didnt play one minute for the team? I hope you meant Tim Hardaway. Because thats absurd if you are saying Steph Curry is better than Tim.

One of the questions submitted for the President’s Townhall in China – that the President declined to accept – was: “Why are the Houston Rockets not declared to be champions of the NBA?”.

I guess this comes from living in a place where the government decides everything !

Frankly, I am amazed that all five starting all-stars are not Houston Rockets, since we allow anyone in the world to vote as many times as they want.

The biggest thing keeping Monta from being an All-Star is him playing at an All-Star level. He is busting his azz, doing a great job on D and scoring… but if you want to be an All-Star you need to win. Win ballgames and the All-Star bids will come.

On the subject of winning ball games… everyone should boycott spending even $1 on the Warriors till Cohan sells. Otherwise we will continue to see players and management penalized for being successful.
