same old warriors, nothing ever changes.
we come into the season with klay thompson as the 6th man and we will suck as always.

no leadership from ownership, all fluff, another late lottery finish without a draft pick. wonderful.

We Warriors fans got screwed when Ellison didn’t get to buy the team even though he offered the most money. It was Cohan sticking it to us one last time.

Lacob has been preaching patience, well he has been in charge for over a year and all we have is a coaching change to show for his time as owner.

It was idiotic to waste the amnesty clause on Bell. 4 million will not make or break this team. He could have been moved at the deadline to a team wanting cap relief. Now there is no getting out of the 3 years and 27 million owed to Biedrins or the 5 years and 69 million owed to Lee. 3 years down the line we could have saved over 30 million by using the amnesty on Lee for his last 2 seasons.

The Warriors continue to think small. Nobody is looking at the big picture. The Clippers will match Jordan and we will be stuck sitting on our hands hoping for a guy like Dalembert but we won’t get him.

Pro’s of this move
They may land a decent defenive Center, who, like it or not is a potential significant upgrade on Biendrins.
If the Clips match, it gives them less room to hunt other players – and keep in mind we are in a direct race with the Clips. It may have been the nail in the coffin of the Clips not chasing CP3.

Con’s
Overpaying?
If he matches will we lose the amnesty for nought?

It matters when and on whom they use the amnesty. If they had a bigger, better deal lined up they would have amnestied Biedrins. If they didn’t have to take a shot at Jordan they could have waited and saved the amnesty for some time down the road and a bigger and better deal. Bell’s contract is relatively insignificant and provides minimal cap relief.

In the end it might not matter, but if it does they’ll look back on this one with regret.

It doesn’t matter when they use the amenesty. Either way charlie bell is garbage and needs to go.

IMO at least the warriors are trying to improve rather than trading away their players for nothing.(example chris cohan)

essentially, the W’s are already at plan B, which is to throw crazy money at people who aren’t worth it.

i’m not surprised by the reactionary moves, the amnesty.

i’ve said it before and will say it again: larry riley couldn’t swap a million dollars and a bag of chips for genital warts. dude’s that incompetent.

Yeah, i agree with Judge Wapner. Humphries would be a better signing than Jordan. Although Humphries may be a DLee clone with better D.

Also agree with JFish, we should sign Dalembert. He can do all this at a cheaper contract. Maybe not the athleticism of Jordan, but better value for sure.

The W’s should take a look at signing Kris Humphries (UFA) if they don’t get Jordan. Humphries is a great rebounder, a decent defender, and he’s cheaper than the 10 mil a year Jordan will cost them..

wow, this guys basically the same as andris beidrins…so the warriors will pay 10 million a year to two 7 footers who can shoot from no further than 2 feet from the basket, and who have a free throw % below 50%, and who basically rebound and block the same. id rather stick with beidrins and ekpeh udoh as the C combo

I say see if we can get Randolph back from T’Wolves. Figure out a way to take him on. They’re filled at the 3/4 right now anyway. See if we can convert him into a Chandler type at the 5.
