Nice piece covering this Kaman potential trade! But I think Warriors can pull this trade off.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but can’t you just trade a player for a pick (salaries dont have to match when its a player for a pick straight up right?)

If so, I say send him for a 2nd round pick and…CASH.

I always see the Blazers or Mavericks or other owners who wanna win send cold hard CASH to get a deal. Why not us? Because as you stated the Hornets want expiring contracts, picks or young talent. They will soon see all they can get is expiring contracts. Kaman aint that good :-/
Our deal can easily end up being the best offer they get

I’ve said it many times, this organization is equal to the competitive level of other cellar dwellers in this league, only difference is Oracle packs a big arena.

What’s even more depressing is watching the Playoffs and realizing how far behind this Golden State team is.

The level of play, the usual stand-out performances by big game players and the overall character of playoff basketball shows how this Golden State team doesn’t even belong in the same hemisphere.

In other cities……Washington, Charlotte, Detroit, New Jersey, Toronto, Cleveland, New Orleans….when the product is bad, the fans do not pay.

And therein lies the essence of this Golden State organization. Sell a loyal fan base a mediocre product and watch intelligent Bay Area people pay to watch a disaster.

Lacob is actually smart, this Warrior franchise isn’t his only business. He realizes that the only thing that matters is profitability.

The most depressing thing is watching other organizations like Philadelphia, like Indiana, like Utah; begin to show more promise and develop right before our eyes while we still struggle to even piece together a 12 man rotation.

It’s difficult to say what the main issue is with this team. One can argue the zero production we get from the 5 spot and wonder if you slid in an Andrew Bynum type player, what kind of team this team would become.

Can you look at a guy like Joakim Noah? Always has his arms and hands by the rim, looking for easy baskets, running the floor and defensively as aggressive as any 5 in the league. Can you picture him in the Warrior rotation?

Is it the backcourt?

The poor decision-making, the turnovers, the innopportune mistakes all come along with the backcourt of Curry and Ellis.

Curry’s hook passes on the move into a congested lane with 4 players standing there is frustrating.

Ellis’ stupid slap fouls on the break allowing “And 1″ situations are upsetting.

Nate Robinson, while lovable, is hardly anyone you can count on for long-term commitment or growth. I don’t really like his game that much. He ain’t no ‘Jet’ or J. Harden, trust me, he’s not anybody to bank on.

One of my biggest dissapointments this season thus far is Dorell Wright. I thought that he would begin progressing with this organization, comfortable in the starting role at 3, a lot of confidence from last season and belief from his coaches.

Smart was a pro-Dorell Wright guy and as is Jackson. I like Dorell, I think he’s a pretty good defender, a heady offensive player and a good shooter. I am dissapointed to see that he regressed this season.

I think D. Lee is playing about the best basketball he can play. I think he’s a system guy who understands how to score the ball and is a good rebounder. 19ppg and 10rpg from your 4 ain’t that bad, I don’t think that D. Lee is the problem.

I don’t know anymore, I don’t know what can be done to improve this team and I don’t have the patience.

This organization is about 37 years away from a playoff berth and 62 years away from a Championship.
