at #27, if they amnestied biedrins, then they would have given jordan an even more monster contract and would have been stuck with him long-term, so it is actually a blessing in disguise. what do you think?

Man i think some people are kissing what Barnes brings to this team. he is smooth, nothing fancy, just a smooth player. nothing wrong with that. i thought defensively he was ok, but of course needs improvement in multiplt areas as do all players

The big blunder was amnestying Charlie Bell in order to go after DeAndre Jordan, who would have been a disaster for the Warriors had they landed him. They should have amnestied Biedrens. Then they would have had cap room to really go after someone right now and may have been able to put together a real team. Now they are crippled by cap space and will again end up in the 9th or 10th spot, stuck in mediocrity as they have been for the past 20 years. It’s just another bonehead move among many for the Warriors. Different clowns, same circus.

I like the mentality of Myers and the rest of the brass…really making an attempt to put us into playoff contention. Agreed with the above that landing Kirilenko is a pipe dream, but among the names we’ve been hearing lately, I’d like to see Landry play with the Dubs. Although he didn’t come through in Sacramento, I think he’ll gel a lot better in our system. Looking to see how Myers can put this together.

Marcus- where do you get your information? Myers and the Warriors are not getting “spurned” by any of these players you listed. They were simply offered more money elsewhere. If Myers offered Roy 1 year at $4M and The idiot Wolves offered 2 years at $10.4M, he isnt rejecting the Warriors he’s just taking more money to play in MN. Its not a popularity contest. Some of the guys you listed werent even players the Ws wanted.

[...] Bucks, foi contratado pelo Cavs. – Jordan Hill reassinou por dois anos com o Lakers. – O Warriors está interessado em Andrei Kirilenko, Carl Landry e Kenyon Martin. – Shannon Brown está de volta ao Suns. – O Heat [...]

A few thoughts on summer league, free agency and possible trades:
1) Ezeli will be our back-up center.
2) Barnes will be solid, but unspectacular, this year and has lots of room for growth, namely his defense, ballhandling and creating space for a shot against top-level defenders.
3) Draymond Green will not play much this year, but will be a tremendous practice player. He also is money from the top of the key 3-pointers.
4) Charles Jenkins is a good basketball player, but was getting picked like a booger by rookie Marquis Teague, so he needs to protect the ball better against quick defenders.
5) Jeremy Tyler needs to spend more time in the D-League.
6) Klay Thompson is going to be considered one of the best SGs in the league in two years.
7) Kent Bazemore would give the Warriors exactly what they’re hoping ot get from Brandon Rush at a fraction of the cost. He’s long, can beautifully defend the 1,2 or 3, can get to spots on the floor offensively, can handle the rock and has a nice looking J.
8) Kirilenko will sign with the Nets.
9) Dominic McGuire needs to be re-signed by the Dubs, as we’ll need his toughness, team-first mentality, and his defense at positions 1-4.
9) Warriors should trade Biedrins to the Hornets for Brad Miller and a signed-and-traded Carl Landry. New Orleans has no center on their roster and most likely won’t have either Miller (possible retirement, team optionon contract) or Landry (will sign elsewhere) on their roster next year anyway.

Why no more coverage of the “Summer (League) Games?” thought there would be a story on how the W’s performed sans Thompson. I know it’s only Vegas (apparently what happens in Vegas stays there. . .) but Barnes developing & Jenkins becoming more assertive, plus defense as a stalwart of the W’s have to be stories. . .especially when the W’s went undefeated. . .

Krilenko would be a nice addition, no question, he’s got offensive skills. Jordan Hill and K-Mart are pretty limited offensively. Landry appears to be on downhill slide in career, that’s my read on him. NO unloaded him, so did King’s. Nobody has been winning with Landry, that’s another thing about Landry that comes to mind.
