You need a top notch coach to attract top players. A great player needs to know the coach and the team are working to get the best players to win a championship.

Being Budenholzer would be the coach for a minimum of 3 years makes it quite possible to be that championship team by the 3rd year. He would make the Warriors a contender faster than any other coach available.

The new owners are smart and did what smart business owners do, hire a champion consultant in West, who said that he liked guys that have been assistants of Popovich, now I know what he meant.

I think this would be their smartest move being that Popovich has won numerous championships and his #1 assistant who is also more offensively minded along with his defensive coaching skills.

Remember, San Antonio has been an extremely defensively minded team till this year, when they added more offensive plays because of Budenholzer.

I think he is the perfect match for the Warriors. I think they will have a coach by the draft and start their winning ways.

BTW, Marcus where are you during this discussion? What are your thoughts? Or did you just make a post because you had to and disappear like normal?

Anyway, i just can’t help but criticize the old owner, Mr. Cohan, who in my opinion, is responsible for the “Dark Years” of the franchise. I have never seen an owner so inept and indecisive.

I was so disgusted when i learned the fact that Jerry West, The Logo himself actually wanted to be the General Manager of the the Warriors during the year 2001, the year he left the Lakers, and Mr.Cohan obviously didnt had the slightest clue who this guy is, whom he turned down and let go.

I am so disgusted.

Jerry West at that time wanted to revamp the team. Mr. Cohan didnt want that direction so he rejected Jerry West to take the job. But i have to wonder, who did we have that time that Cohan is trying to save? Jamison was the only descent player we had at that time.

Stupid.

But now, the wisdom of history clearly tells us had we hired the logo, We would’ve produced positive results and we should be in a much better situation now than we are at present because from 2001 to the present, we didn’t achieve anything but jack, of course with the exception of the 2007 run courtesy of the leadership of BDiddy and company.

My gosh, Had we had the logo at that time, we should have gotten a championship already or at least, establish ourselves as perrenial playoff mainstays like San Antonio.

We had the chance to build on the 2007 campaign and i still couldn’t figure out why we did not and instead, destroyed the team.

Another guy i really lost my respect to from the years i admired and adored him is no other than Don Nelson. He based his job as a coach not from the standpoint of winning and developing the team but from his stupid politics. I am so glad he got axed in the ass!

I am glad that Robert Rowell is no longer involved in the limelight now.

Finally, I am so elated the logo has the freehand in doing whatever capactiy he deemed necessary. I really think he will give this franchise a lot of special years to come.

I hope this new owner grows balls and trades for a big man. We need one. We have not have one since Thurmond. If we have to trade either Monta and or Steph go for it.

But, it is funny that people read my post and think I am all for Smart. I was just saying hiring a no name coach is the same as keeping smart..Oh well looks like this owner is the same as the last. He won’t get rid of Riley and Rowell so we won’t be getting a good coach or top flight FA’s.

fans want these kind of facts!

i say we draft Chris Singelton. we need perimeter d. defense gets to the playoffs. and miami is setting the bar with defense. having someone who can gaurd 2-3 positions on the floor would be a big step up..

and would a Monta for Tyson Chandler sound like a dumb proposal?? Monta will be a proven scorer to finally help Dirk.. and T. Chandler is a true center. mavs have Haywood to start anyways.. right??

can i get some feedback?????

The Warrior players need a coach not a friend and Smart’s allegiances seemed to take priority over all else.
