I would take a first rounder from Houston to accept that trade.

It wasn’t that long ago, that Beidrins was regarded as one of the better young centers coming up. All it took was a couple of years of Nellie’s fickleness and mind games to devestate his confidence like so many other young players in his past. Unlike good coaches that would change their tact to motivate different players, Nellie’s my way or the highway approach leave me wondering what would have been with the likes of Patrick O’bryant, Kosta Perovic, Chris Taft etc. Beidrins’s game never changed but Nellie’s inevitable shift to his guard focused small ball offense has beeen in retrospect a gift and a curse to the Warriors and the success of the franchise.

Lots of short term memory issues?

Biedrins has been a double/double guy and a quality D guy. he played hurt a year. He played a year getting short minutes for a coach who could not figure out the big man game…who had weak D PF’s,Lee + Vlad playing in a system where basic defensive principles got set aside.

Biedrins and Udoh…pretty much had to try to D everyone with out much help. Neither was “in the loop” on offense…though man for man GSW DOES have passers. Passing to the centers was not the agenda…they were pick and screen guys…mere obstacles.

A TEST for the new coach is the vital task of getting Biedrins and Udoh to where they ought to be.

Look it up kids….Beans DID at 23 have a year with 11+ points,11+ rebounds, A decent FT% and one of the NBA’s top FG%. Those benchmarks are similar to J Noah’s season. They top guys like M.Gasol,D Jordan,K Perkins,Dalembert,Varajeo. Would it be “good enough” to get Noah for FREE? I think so and I assume a WELL COACHED (at last) Biedrins can be just that.

Trading Ellis should be something you avoid.
The point was made that Ellis IS very athletic and can D very well. Curry…at best is average D. Either CAN get 8-10 asst playing point. Curry…better perimeter shot, Monta,harder to defend against overall..a threat anywhere.

Mostly, GSW needs to let Jackson coach the main parts of the team….and find out what is THERE when not in the context of the offbeat Nellie+ Smart tactics.

GSW can’t afford to sacrifice value again,just because it’s the lazy way out. They parlayed that “plan” into a few decades of failure as is.

Hey I tell you what Monta needs to stay. I would rather trade Curry over Monta. Curry is a terrible defensive player. Monta has had to guard guys much bigger, trade Curry and Move Monta to be a Scoring Point Guard since we are going to play the up tempo style. Monmta can push ball alot better. But I also would rather keep them both. But Beidrins has to go NOW!

“Beidrins, if he’s playing his game, is a solid NBA center.” That’s a laugh! What game are you referring to? On defense, he ambles down the court, sets up, loses his man, then finds him in time to commit a foul during the dunk. The Warriors made a huge mistake letting him start and play 24 minutes a game. His ineptitude was a cancer that affected everyone else.

Way to ruin this thread with your same Monta nonsense from 7 months ago..

Your Monta arguments are tired, pointless have been debated to nauseating levels. You just sound like an obnoxious, sophomoric blowhard at this point.

No one cares anymore.. IF Monta is eventually traded — be a man, grow up, grow a pair, and GET OVER IT.
