Aaron, I agree, this team isn’t even rebuiding. We’re like the nets, but we suck more. We’re not even getting the #1 pick. And why the hell is Monta still here? He should have been kicked off the roster the minute Curry had that 10th rebound. Riley is a joke. So is Cohan. So is Nellie. I hope they’re all gone next year, with a new Larry as the owner, a guy that wants to buy another franchise and move it here. Bullshit. Cohan’s selling the W’s for 400mil.That’s almost 100mil over asking price. Curry is literally the only legit prospect that isn’t just a ten year project that will be effective once they get old enough to sign a $500,000 contract with some other team and lead them to a championship as a “veteran”.

If we don’t have Ellison buy the franchise before the playoffs, have him get us a high pick and trade Monturnover and Fagette away for someone else’s lottery pick, this team is doomed. No way we can rebuild next year, with a draft full of flops.

We’re basically screwed.

Lots of good comments. One thought overwhelms all others: Fire Nellie. Why is he still coaching?!

All you can do is laugh and cry, cry and laugh. The Warriors and most of the fans that consider themselves “diehards” are insane. “We had to make room for Morrow to play” Hilarious. Would he be starting or being made room to play on a playoff team? Negative. Would Buike be getting more than 10-15 minutes of run on a playoff team? Negative. It’s so sad how low hard and fast this team has fallen since the magical playoff run. I think some of the people here have it right, this team is at Raiders level or worse. They are so atrocious, don’t really play any brand of basketball, and can’t be watched for more than five minutes straight unless you have a five gallon bucket of GSW “Do You Believe” kool-aid next to the couch. You couldn’t screw up a team more if you tried. They’d be better off hiring a chimpanzee as their GM.

I finally gave up on the GSW’s 2 years ago when they lost Baron and ended up with Magette…the insanity involved which culminated in Mullin’s exit is not worth revisiting. The Warriors front office makes the Raiders situation look reasonable. This team has no plan, no future, and no hope. It is a disgrace from top to bottom and has been for years. Every move they make is beyond comprehension. An ape throwing darts at an option chart would have made far better choices than these clowns. I have been a huge fan for over 30 years and I just can’t care anymore…too depressing. It broke my heart to let the Raiders go 5+ years ago and now I must do the same with the Warriors. We seem to be cursed in the Bay Area with all of our major sports franchises owned and managed by incompetent fools. The A’s are an exception of sorts though they are owned by billionaires who can’t find theirs wallets and who clearly have no interest in getting a new stadium built; knowing that we’ll gobble up the lip service and feel sympathy because evil cities, teams (SF Giants), and MLB are at fault for all of the delays. All of this BS has turned me off to sports in general…I don’t go to games anymore and often go weeks without seeking local sports news. There is no player continuity, no reason for optimism, no reason to get emotionally invested anymore. I still have a passion for sports and I miss it intensely at time but our local teams and the state of major sports in general have just ruined it for me…and for many other I know. If I were into hockey…I could get behind the Sharks as their ownership and management know how to run a franchise. It really isn’t about winning (although wining is nice), it is about seeing those running a team actually care…having them take pride in the product they are selling to us…having them show that they respect their fans and the hard earned money we spend supporting our teams. I just don’t feel that anymore. It is a sad pathetic situation. My life is less enjoyable as a result but I simply cannot endure the constant absurdity and disrespect any longer.

The w’s need a guy who can camp inside and bang people around even if he has limited offensive skill. Someone who can grab boards and bang bodies. Biedrins is just too skinny. Look at Howard in Orlando, he has no offensive game but he is big, physical and nobody can move him out of the painted area. I like Favors even tho he is still too young. I don’t like Cousins who seem to be lazy…Imagine if Biedrins weighe 250+ instead of 230, he would be what the W’s need.

Jeremy, turner is the last guy we want.Another big with an undersized game? no thanks. I like how he can play multiple positions, but I’ve already seen Tyreke Evans and the last thing the Dubs need is a guy that is ball dominant and turnover prone. Favors and Cousins are probably better. Favors is a shotblocking presence, whereas cousins seem to get dunked on once a week.

If the Warriors end up #2 I’d say they have to go with Evan Turner. He could play as a big PG with Ellis, or he could shift over to SF when Curry is on the floor and give the team two lethal passers who can score.

Actually, if they end up with #1 I hope they trade down and grab Turner. I know they will get the #1 pick this year just so they can screw up having to choose betwen Ellis, Wall, and Curry of which two to keep. I keep Ellis and Curry if I’m the Warriors.

Wes Johnson looks like a clone of Shawn Marion, I’ll take that too.

Athletically, the big man I’d want is Cousins but I fear in a circus like this place he would go more the way of Jackson than Curry.

I like Greg Monroe more than Favors. Both have significant upside yet to be reached, but Monroe looks much better on offense. He’s a year older so it should be expected, but just my opinion.

Please no Cole Aldrich… please. He is only a lottery pick for lack of 13 players better, not because he is a future NBA star or even All Star. He shouldn’t even be in the conversation.

Apparently the T’wolves only got rubio as a huge chip, they’re really after Wall now.

This is exactly why I say go for Minnesota or Washington’s pick. We’re going to give up Magette and George anyway, at least get a first rounder for them. If we can keep playing as horribly as we can, we’ll have the no.2 pick in no time.
