Trade either Monte or Curry, and offer Lin a big contract to come back to Golden State next year.

Larry Riley should not have a job for making the idiotic descision to release Lin. He admits he made a mistake, so Lacob, show some balls and get rid of him. You will never get back into the playoffs let alone win a championship with this moron running your team. Also if that selfish idiot Smart had played him instead of looking out for his own skin, we would have found out how good he was and would be able to trade Ellis and Curry for a Big Man we so desparately need. Thanks for screwing our team.

HE’S PAID TO SPOT LIN TALENT. What good is Riley if he cant make the right choice? The Warriors had their answer for point guard,they then could have packaged Ellis or Curry for that big man. Beidrens? more Riley stupidity..the Giants WISH they could amnesty Zito. Do the Warriors EVER learn?
Riley has killed this team..no Greg Monroe..even last year when Love was rumored..oh no,Riley wasnt going to break up that sub .500 duo of Ellis and Curry.
Lacob hung on to Riley,and Smart last year,and is hanging on to Don Nelsons small ball. The only person he should have kept-LIN- they GAVE away!

somebody fire this clown. i don’t care if he “owns up”, he’s a bumbling moron. you cannot possibly for one second tell me that this fool deserves an NBA job, especially one in charge of assembling a competitive, cohesive team.

nicely done marcus.

good job of calling out mark jackson. he of the no-excuse and accountability talks, he couldn’t even own up that he never thought much of an asian PG. just say you missed like d. morey and move on. to say you never saw him do a layup is just making an excuse. i’m starting to get the feeling that mark jackson is just full of hot air ala mike singletary. if mike malone leaves, the w’s are in trouble.

I’m very proud of Larry Riley.

It take a big man to admit he was wrong.

Now will someone please act like this is a business and show him what happens to executives who make GLOBAL headline mistakes?

Please enlighten me when was the last time Monta led the Warriors to 7 straight wins, . In any season. I am just curious since Monta is obviously such a great player.

Lin did this with guys like Landry Fields, Bill Walker and Jared Jeffries, surely Monta has done something like this with a guy like David Lee around?

Surely the great Monta has led his team like Lin has? Surely Monta would have stepped up to win games like Lin has done like vs Portland last night. Oh oops…..

Please enlightlen me on this, besides scoring points, and being “exciting” to you, what does Monta do better than Lin in terms of

-Leadership, getting teammates to follow him because they know he make them better. ? Common critique of MOnta is he doesn’t make others better

-Playing well in crunch time? Monta is at his worst in crunch time…

-Decision making, it’s obvious to anyone who knows basketball this is Lin’s strength and one of biggest Monta weakness.

- Floor vision and space the court, Lin is great at this and Monta isn’t.

So lets see, Monta scores and is exciting but is worse at everything else THAT HAS TO DO WITH WINNING?
